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.

it is only a belief
It is only
a belief
to be born -
to grow up -
to change -
and to die –
religions
told us –
cultures
told us
people we
met and have
not yet met
told us
and we
believed –
we believed
we are
mortals.
And we lived
In great fear -
we did not
know that
we contain
something
glorious
glowing
deep in our
chest that
is beyond
death and
birth –
something
eternal
and ancient
and timeless.
sweet tears
why continue
to respond to
life
In the same
old way?
speak new
language –
wake up
and look
around -
something
that fills
your eyes with
laughter
and sweet
tears is here –
the great union
Jesus and Buddha
and Krishna ---
are not religion –
They are
metaphors for
the great union
with the self.
the sky that has no floor
We are
done with
explanations
now –
Focus on the great
mystery that
you are –
the ocean that
has no shore –
the sky that
has no floor -
this will help
the world
move out of
fear -
big secret
You are
a big
secret
of existence
itself–
why do
you expect
everyone
you meet
to understand
you?
all these years
all these years
you did not
have time to
live –
you have been
busy dealing
with your issues –
you have been
waiting for
approval
and there
are always
issues
to deal with
whenever
fear guides
your life –
whenever you
refuse to
abandon
what does
not center
you –
there are
always things
to deal with
whenever
you feel
the urge
to be
in
control -
Yes
there are
always things
to deal with
whenever
your happiness
depends
on people's
opinion.
birth of the universe
You are
as large
as how
you want to see and
feel yourself –
If you feel and
Think you are
Somebody
Then you will be
Just that,
Somebody, limited
and small –
if you feel you are
the energy that
has evoked the
birth of the
universe,
you will be
as vast as
that.

the screen
thought,
sensations,
perceptions –
emotions and
feelings are like images
moving through the screen -
you are the screen
through which they pass –
the screen is one with
the images moving
through and at the
same time, it is free
from them –
it does not want to
control them or
stop them or
judge them,
it does not say
this is bad or
that is good –
it is not irritated
by them -
it simply watches
them come
and go –
being truly yourself
Only
being
truly yourself
Does not require
Energy –
It is natural
And effortless –
Everything else
is work and
and you are
never content.
who's doing it?
you cannot make
youself tender -
you cannot open
yourself –
you cannot make
your heart fragrant-
you cannot make
yourself laugh -
then who is
doing it?
No body –
It just happens
when you start
an intimate
friendship
existence –
when you
along with the
dance of the
universe -
pure knowing
Responding
to every day
life’s invitations,
not as an ego,
not at a separate
individual,
but as the source of
kindness,
as a light
of ,
the light by
which everything
is revealed –
That the most
elegant gift
you can give
the world
and yourself –
