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.

I love you
“I love you” is simply
a way of breathing.
What I really want to say
Is that you and I are one
and my soul and yours
love to dance together
in the open streets
of existence.
I looked at the sky last night
and saw the moon in love
with burning.
I looked at your face
and saw ten thousand
soft suns trembling with
endless serenity.
Ancient one,
It is your presence,
your capacity to forgive
and your galvanizing
lucidity
that evokes brilliance
out of the universe.

the doer
When most
spiritual teachers
say that you are not
the doer,
it is not intended
to make you
feel powerless.
It is only to remind
You that whatever you
do, your body-mind
is not the author –
it is not coming from
the little you,
the separate entity -
it is grace that is
doing through you
and you are not causing it.
it arises spontaneously
because you’ve
allowed yourself
to be pregnant with
miracles where new things
are born constantly.
bare truth
This is
the bare truth -
I've searched everywhere
and in everything
but cannot find
the limit to your essence,
to your being -
direct experience
true spiritual life
is not having many
choices.
it is when all your
choices are taken
away and you have
direct experience with
what is left.
it is a fearless
penetration into
the core of existence
that has been
waiting for you.
intimate conversation
in few words,
letting go
is the
greatest bravery
one can display –
one of the honest
ways to live deeply
and naturally, to have
direct and intimate
conversation
with the force
of life.
if you're a poet
If you’re a poet,
don’t try to
write anymore –
let your pen sing
with delight.
If you are a painter
don’t try to
paint anymore –
Let your brush dance –
Let it pour golden
light into a
hidden threshold
of existence -
your aloneness
don't try to fill
your aloneness
with someone or
something -
leave it empty -
it is a ground
for your increased
self-inquiry,
a field where
you can grow
and expand
timeless
If your happiness
is independent of
any outside event,
then it is true happiness,
It is not stirred by anyone.
because nobody has caused
it, nobody can take it away.
It is not time-based.
It explodes in you
because you
you’ve recognized
something deep
and vast inside of you
that is eternal
and timeless.
human body
I've
not seen
a shrine
as luminous,
fragrant
and
miraculous
as
human
body.
It's a living
poetry.
when the heart is closed
when
the heart is closed,
when the eyes are closed,
when hands are closed,
when you resist life,
the soul starves
and the whole
world suffers.
intoxicate my heart
Before you
had a name -
before you had
a clothing –
before you had
a belief system
you were fresh –
you were heart and
Soul –
You were innocent -
you were a rose
that has just opened –
you were
intoxicating fragrance -
I want to see
that in you again
I want you to
return to that
state again when
the light in your
eyes inspired
the solar system.
I want to be intoxicated
by you again.
please be wine
and intoxicate my heart -
so many different ways
I come here almost daily
and share poems with you–
some people say, I am sharing
too much.
I say it is not too much.
It is simply my way of singing.
It is my way of breathing –
It is my way of allowing –
No matter how much I share,
I am only pointing to one thing
in so many different ways.
I am simply saying this –
Wake up to your true nature
and discover who you are –
and let this discovery be
an endless music in your heart.
unnecessary suffering
When truth
is directly
experienced
and deeply
realized,
you can put an
end to
unnecessary
suffering .
.
like water
be like water –
instead of complaining,
laugh and dance when you
move down the hill –
Let everyone
you touch
feel nourished.
weight on your shoulder
You carry weight
on your shoulder –
the world tells you
that is your shoulder –
it does not say it is
weight
and you believe–
and yet deep inside
something in
you want to drop
the weight and fly –
on the outside,
you want to argue
and fight with existence –
from inside,
you know love -
you long for acceptance –
you long for total surrender -
from outside,
you identify with
the noise in your mind
and you think you are
that noise,
deep inside, you
know you are silence –
from outside,
you love playing
hide and seek -
and yet in your heart,
you want to be found
You really want to be
found -
the whole world
wants to be found
not matter how
cozy your
hiding place is –
no matter how
you enjoy the
game -

hungry to heal
The world
is hungry
to heal –
bring hands
together –
gaze at flower
until it opens.
Pray and
meditate more–
bring out
the
miraculous
in you.
pour yourself
The world needs
tenderness –
it needs
your love more than
ever before –
Be present –
if you notice fear
inside you,
bring awareness
to it –
bring laughter
to it.
it cannot survive
your beauty -
pour yourself
into everything
you do.
It does not matter
If it is small or
big –
everything
can be
whole again.
everything can
start singing
again.
why you suffer
Do you
know why
you suffer?
You become sticky
like a glue
and hold onto
anything that
passes by you -
the doer
When most
spiritual teachers
say that you are not
the doer,
it is not intended
to make you
feel powerless.
It is only to remind
You that whatever you
do, your body-mind
is not the author –
it is not coming from
the little you,
the separate entity -
it is grace that is
doing through you
and you are not causing it.
it arises spontaneously
because you’ve
allowed yourself
to be pregnant with
miracles where new things
are born constantly.

and naturally, to have
