Make me sweet again
fragrant and fresh and wild
and thankful for any small event

Today, I recognized
that the jewel-like beauty
is the Presence,
Our loving confusion
the glow in which
watery clay gets
brighter than fire,
the One we call the Friend.
I begged, “Is there a way into you, a ladder?”
“Your head is the ladder,
bring it down under your feet.”
The mind, this globe of awareness,
is a starry Universe that when you push off
with [...]

Come close to me,
I will whisper in your ear
Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes
around in another form.
For there is so much More to this life
Than you now understand
Observe the wonders as they occur around you
Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry
moving through, and be silent
For the Truth has been Divinely Conceived
Deeply within each of [...]

I am dust particles in sunlight
I am the round sun.
To the bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.
I am morning mist,
and the breathing of evening.
I am wind in the top of a grove,
and surf on the cliff.
Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel,
I am also the coral reef they founder on.
I am [...]
Day 7 Friendly Beautiful Peaceful

What is life like on Day 7 of my consciousness process regarding being mindful
towards what is friendly, beautiful, peaceful to self and others?
It’s a place where you write poetry
where you lose yourself inside this soft world
the outer and the inner
you fall in love
you forgive yourself for all the tiny judgments
of self that ever said you [...]
In The Arc Of Your Mallet

Don’t go anywhere without me.
Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me,
or on the ground, in this world or that world,
without my being in its happening.
Vision, see nothing I don’t see.
Language, say nothing.
The way the night knows itself with the moon,
be that with me. Be the rose
nearest to the thorn that I am.
I want [...]
There Is A Field
Posted in Inspiration, Life, Poetry, Rumi, Spirituality, tagged Acceptance on February 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.

Quietness ~ Rumi

All day long I’ve been asking myself this question:
What would wholeness say? I love asking the question, it seems to prompt a feeling of slipping my arms into the sleeves and cloak of wholeness. And wholeness spoke quietly and tenderly just a few things to me:
You are a blessed being.
You are perfect just as you [...]
