Dear friend:- You're here finally and I bow to the one that brought you here. You're here because you chose to be here at this time. You're here to celebrate beauty through words we speak, through deep silence. We might call them poetry or songs or chants. It does not matter what we call them. What matters most is you're here. These words come through us like flowers come through plants, like the rains pour from the sky. May we all become the light we spread, the beauty we speak. Blessings.

what is missing
You grew up
in the world
that wants you to
focus on what is missing,
what does not work and
what is short so that you've
always something to complain
about when you meet someone.
the truth is however,
you are here
because abundance wants
to share it self fiercely -
You’re here because
tenderness wants to pour
from the sky of your own heart
like sweet rain in the early
spring.
You are here because gratitude
wants to dance every time
we sit together in silence.
by allowing, you become powerful
by suppressing
or running away from
what wants to emerge
through you,
you become small
and fearful.
by allowing, you become
powerful because you’ve
made peace with everything
and everyone.
right action
right action can be generated
at the right time and at the right
place not from the self-serving egoic
entity that wants to achieve something
but from the place of supreme high, pure
consciousness that does not expect
any result in return.
stories after stories
You are not what
your biography says
about you.
don’t encourage your mind
to invent stories after stories.
be drawn to whatever can
empty you and stay here.
You’ll realize that you are
not actually what happens
but a sacred ground on which
all things happen.
move inside
all that is required is
to move inside and
touch your depth,
you have a depth that
the ego is afraid of.
Move a little deeper
and be familiar with your
true essence -
be deeply rooted in
your heart -
then there is nothing
to wait for because
you've met and honored
this moment fully,
with all her music
and noise, without leaving
anything out.
every time she sees you
love
is not interested
in what you've accomplished
in the past.
she is not interested in
what you are planning
in the future.
she is only interested
in you and
every time she sees you
lonely, worried and needy and
lost in thought,
she looks at you with eyes
that are filled with sunlight and deep compassion
and says, dear one,
i am here only for you,
i am here to tickle you and make you
laugh. I am here to melt
your worries, to erode your fear, to heal your wound
and nourish you soul.
I've given my whole self
to you. what more do you want?
what more do you
want my dear friend?
your depth
If the environment
In which you live
cannot understand
and support your depth
don’t take it personally nor
try to convince anyone.
Continue to sing your song.
Water is never in a rush
to get somewhere.
She moves into
the crust of the earth
slowing.
we can shine together
instead of competing
and racing against each other,
If our priority here on earth is
to stay open and fearless,
we can shine together
brighter than thirty
thousands suns.
deep enough
What if
whatever it is that
you have been
waiting for in your life
has already happened?
Have you looked inside
deep enough my dear
companion?
smelling the eternal
Why focus
so much
on outside
noise?
by tasting
and smelling
the eternal,
the divine
flower
bursting
within you,
you can be
free from
all fears
color does not matter
Your age does not matter,
Your color does not matter,
Your circumstance does not matter -
your gender does not matter --
Life wants to be your true
friend. She wants to work with you
on the most intimate level
if you meet this moment
fully and openly because this
moment is not time.
it is life itself disguised
as time.
little events
a vast ocean is composed
of tiny little drops.
honor the little
events in your life.
Your big days are
woven out of them
the same way a great
embroidery is spun from
little strings and yarns.
spam
Whoever
has told you that
you need more time
to be enlightened
has misguided you.
It is a spam.
Enlightenment does not
need time.
You may need more time,
maybe even a thousand
years to invent stories
and write fiction about
yourself and the world.
time is an invisible
wall between you and
the beloved.
How about if you just
drop now the idea of
achieving enlightenment
because on the heart level
you are already
enlightened. There is
something deep in you
that is stable and whole
and wants nothing
from outside
the middle of the night
eyes are opening
from inside –
planetary consciousness is
changing -
millions are experiencing
inner intoxication,
inner shift and they cannot
stop it even if they
want–
a shift from thinking
to the awareness
of thinking –
from dreaming to
presence and awakening–
from fear to dissolving
into love -
from rejecting to
allowing –
the sun rises
in the middle of
the night
inside your heart.
What a miracle!
bringing presence
True
compassion begins
not by burning yourself up
to save the world
but by bringing presence
to the little things you do
on a daily basis such as
for example being fully
present when you walk
from your bedroom to
the rest room -
all suffering
We cannot explain
why some humans have to
go through so much suffering
while some suffer lightly –
anyway, all sufferings, big
or small, all mistakes you have made
in your life and all the challenges
you face will eventually bring you
closer to your true essence.
remember that whatever emerges
is a secret gift for awakening.
