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.

your shadow
When you turn
to the sun
your shadow
falls behind you
so you don’t see it.
the point is not to
walk away from your shadow –
the point is to embrace
your shadow as a friend -
it does not matter how good
you are –
it does not matter how
innocent you are –
it does not matter
how peaceful you are –
you are going to have a shadow.
the world itself is your
own shadow and every
man and every woman
and every object has a shadow
existence –
the person you
think you are
is only a shadow –
what struggles within
you is the shadow -
the one who resists
life within you is
a shadow -
everything that you
deny within, every
part of you
that you have
not loved, turns
into a shadow –
hold your shadow
gently, look in the
eye and kiss it –
embrace it with all
of your heart and
soul –
infinity
I don’t encourage you
to desire for anything because
you are already hold infinity.
But if you really need to
desire, don’t be frugal.
desire for something that
is as real and spacious and
as infinite
as you.
on silence
In the world where
everyone wants to
be heard -
where everyone wants
to talk at the same
time and nobody is
there to listen -
be silent my friend –
be a friend of silence -
not the silence that is
Imposed on you by
fear or authorities
but the silence that
flowers
to embrace and
kiss you –
the silence that spreads
its aroma around you -
the Silence that arises
because something
eloquent
wants to be spoken –
something elegant
wants to be revealed -
The silence that holds
Radiance of
the new moon and
roses and that
which cannot be said
with these words –
this silence is not
different from you –
it is a womb out of
which the universe
emerged –
this silence is
your own blooming
heart.

upheavals
If you are moving
through upheavals and
structures around you
come down crashing , it is
because life is sending a text
message to show you that
all structures are
shaky and unstable.
Look deep inside and
notice that there is
a ground that is stable and calm.
That ground is your true
nature. It has no form
or name. It has no birth
or death. It is pure aliveness
which is fully awake even
when your body and mind
are in deep sleep. It is
a resting ground that never
rests.
