highest divine

Who said that you are
a world savior ?
Don’t spend sleepless
nights trying to fix
every human problem
on earth.
let your movement be
towards the highest divine in you –
Start building a fire
in your living room.
This may be slow
but hearts and minds
will start to ripe
like holy fruits.

20/20 vision

to see your radiance
everywhere and
in everything,
it is not enough to
have 20/20 vision at your eye clinic –
you need the willingness
to see the logo of God
inside everyone -
looking at all things
with the same tenderness
the beloved looks at you -

Anarchy

anarchy is necessary
for the manifestation
of great light –
A mother’s water bag must break
for a labor to begin –
the earth must be cracked open
for a seedling to emerge –
the heart must be ripped
wide apart to receive and
give the perfume of love
how can we make smoothies
before crushing wild
berries and avocados ..?

Protozoa

All that is required is 
to deeply and honestly 
gaze inside
so that we can travel to a place
where one thing
contains all
and a protozoa holds
the kingdom of heaven.

Music of infinity

Each moment
we are being invited
to enter the heart
of mystery
where the line
between the creator
and creations vanish -
in the presence of true love
you cannot see two faces-
There is only one divine
Altar holding inside
itself the music
of infinity.

before the rain whips the lilac tree

even for one minute,
you have never been
what you think you are –
You are not the stories
told in prize winning books.
Your place is 
between the seen
and the unseen,
between a little space 
before the rain
whips the lilac tree
in spring –
beyond pain and
suffering -
the place where
they say the fire takes the form
of everything it consumes -
how about if you are that
consuming fire itself?
why do you memorize
what the mystics have said
about God?
I can see that in you when
you truly allow 
this moment to be
what it exactly is
when you hold someone’s
pain without the hunger to be
held in return. -

already on fire

wherever the match strikes,
it burns something
artificial, the clothes
I borrowed from
someone else---
 for my heart is
already on fire
