Anam Cara


Anam Cara

a Celtic formula
a longing response..
a friendship
of soul
with the Other..
a constriction first
perhaps a limit
within solitude
allowing the soul
a gathering strength
preserving one's light
in secret..
then the journey
immersion in life
and return..
remembering
Anam Cara...

Mollie Kathleen


Mollie Kathleen

a descent 
1000 feet down
to pristine silence
a Silence
on surface unknown..
guide speaks there of
miners and animals
struggling to eke
in candlelight
daily bread from
earth's stubborn veins..
encasement:
gold in rocks
ounces in tons..
and that Silence
encasing life's
 suffering and toil..

Grocery list


Grocery list

this question filters
in job interviews..
let's ask ourselves:
finding a basket
then how to shop..?
does sequence rule
aisle by aisle..
 with that prepared
grocery list..
no list at all
simply a walk
down the aisle..
right or wrong
answers
or is job seeker
Self-Awareness
the only Answer...?

Wild eye


Wild eye

a fortunate photo
towhee up close
sentimental bird..
red eye warns
 nature's wild
constricted point..
seeing here
what one sees
in restless tiger's
fearsome eye...

an Orgasmic burst


an Orgasmic burst

of flavor
in an A-ha moment..
at these differences
we smile.. :)
fractals are about
similarity and difference..
connectedness rules..

Let us inquire 
of the similarity
in the bursts above..
all similarities 
 find Torus shape..
Torus is formula
 iterating creating all
differences we find..

On a vertical column
curved surface surrounds
a hidden black hole..
at a Point
 black hole turns white..
now our bursts
all are as One..!


The Torus needs
 motivation to move
arousal and stimulation
below and above..
all this Similarity
iterates the differences
so striking we see..

More differences now:
 succulent juices
pulses and flow
DMT liquid light..
all these differences..
really..?
we smile again.. :)

OK, Mae...

Omnivore Love



You stand before the cutting board,
excited appetite
juices flowing in your mouth
and in the tender meat.
Hungry man, do turn your gaze
Devour me too !

The Plain


The Plain

Looking back at
youth's energy field..
the formative Plain
belongs to him
and to me..
There penetrating
notes and words
imagine each day
a long gray line..
Songs instilled then
 return often in
memory's moments..
an entanglement
Plain and cadet
a grip and
a far off hold..

A grip of 
youthful strength
courage in war.. 
the Plain's gift
sustains special
belonging
through earthly life..
Also are found
in lurking shadows
voices crying out
for new resolution
new perspectives
longings of 
advancing years..

A new journey
not to the Plain..
a road of ascent
a path resurrecting..
with signpost mottos
to remind and replace
those cased in gold..
Now with pause
a glance backward
in joy reveals
new Clarity of that
formative field..
the Plain's shadow
grips and holds..
grounding a 
dim yet searching
 inner light...


for Paul
and for me

Greenstone bridge


Greenstone bridge

Creek trickles under
an old arched bridge
trees rooted feet
have their plenty
on flowing edge..
What is meaning
the synthesis
of these elements
this cool oasis in
 afternoon heat..?
A word to satisfy
or simply wordless
hologram:
each in each
each in all
all in each..
each and all
in other
and...

Swiss rifles and bayonets



Swiss rifles and bayonets

no poetry
he said
but guns today..
a friend's fixation
military weapons
Swiss are these:
famous Schmidt-Rubin group
Model 1911 infantry rifle
Model 1911 carbine
and others..
Now for bayonets:
Model 1914 Pioneer 
(awesome he exclaims..!)
Model 1918
(zzzzzingg when from 
scabbard pulled..!)
weapons sound of
craftsmanship unbound..!
Enough for you
my dear reader..?

Swiss are these
to him they please..
This poem a
difficult write..
so did a quick
Google meander..
other things Swiss
Superlative chronometer
and famous knife..
Also that forced
proclivity to neutrality..
There Quality wins
 gross quantity limps..
In modern tongue
right brain and left
that Neutral center 
 Quality again..!
So might we pause 
 admire Greg's guns
with some spin...?

this will have to do,
Greg..!  :)

Theory of Every-thing


Theory of Every-thing

for science
an illusive goal
try and fail..
 Every-thing is shrunk
 energy and matter
hidden and dark..
with added surprise:
Every-thing is
accelerating away..
notable here in
science frustration:
their outward focus
Every-thing out there..
might we ask
What is out there..?
with holistic sense
our holograph brains
processing waves
interference patterns
making apparent
Every-thing seen..
Might this seed
blossom one day
 looking for that
Theory of 
EVERYTHING...?





Prokaryote



Single cells no organelles
with membranes permeable
respond with will to live

Prokaryote so simple
no nucleus  no lack
nearing food evading harm
Membrane assures survival
  expanding one to two

Membranes of the human
process mystery
When shall we admit
our brains do not direct
our intricate survival
understand membrane as membrain, Bruce Lipton, The Biology of Belief

Pineal

Pineal

A minute gland
pinecone resemblance
a mid-brain singularity..
perhaps dimensional
transition..
Secretions of fluid
some call sacred..
New realities revealed
emotional reports exclaim:
more real than real..!
New century questions:
a final frontier..?
is this contact
of extra dimensions..?
a liquid light
of prophecies
our identities
our futures now
 in sight...?

Wildfire



Wildfire

Summer weather
raging..
destruction and escape
smoked animal fear..
Shifting winds
pass over then
return to destroy..
a Junetime inferno..
our somber prayer:
fire's rising energy
amplify our own
Stimulation
of rain...

Group for Understanding



Group for Understanding

Trying to en-vision
a group's Self..
A profound necessity:
preserve at once
Each and All..
locating similarity
sensing the group's
 one Name..
yet relish each 
 difference surprise..
two dimensions
each member 
in Awareness
should own..

Still insufficient
the mapping above..
departure is next..
find our location
this morning
or at nightfall
this very moment..
A new venture
just Now begins..
paths in Ocean's
 oneness..
 on each path
Awareness remains...

Unmasking

Unmasking

Of success
masks of deeds
degrees well earned
ladders ascended
heroism one time..
all of these
each one's own..
masks of success
hiding ourselves
from ourselves..

Of failure
in mirror image
with extra power
hiding ourselves 
from ourselves..

Unmasking
throws questions..
venerate success..?
castigate failure..?
Success 
masks itself..?
and failure too..?
now breathing:
ego unmasking
as we go...

Now? (Robert Moss)



Now..?

"The time is always now, but when the passions of the soul are at work the time is also go. I know this as a writer. Often my best work is done when I am in a state of great turmoil, when my passions are running strong but my heart and mind are also conflicted. Such moments give us an edge." - Robert Moss, The Three Only Things.

Mr. Magpie


Mr. Magpie

Bird of duality
distinct black
and white..
but then:
a high perch
seeing all..
in swooping flight
separates join and
one body soars..
Mr. Magpie retorts
I'm two in one..

Then this from
a friend:
you are forgetting
the thievery..
How about thievery
 Mr. Magpie..?
collecting and
hoarding of
shiny objects..?
Mr. M. once more:
black is thievery
shiny is white..
I'm two in one..!

Thanks ERB!

Photo projections


Photo projections

A shutter in-sight:
photos as art
in picture taking..
internal awareness
find this first..
then peering out
coaxing out symmetries
eye for surprise..!
fractal pattern alerts
ubiquitous torus shapes 
image plus shadow..
these friendly allies
identify us and
properly  focus 
our One lens..

A poetry in-sight:
find blank sheet
and follow with
all the above...!






Hole in the Sun (NASA)


Hole in the Sun


A Hole in the SunCredit: NASA/SDO/AIAFriday, June 7, 2013: An extensive coronal hole on the sun rotated towards the Earth during the week of May 28-31, 2013. The massive coronal area represents one of the largest in a year or more. Coronal holes produce strong solar wind gusts that carry solar particles out to the Earth’s magnetosphere and beyond. These holes appear darker in extreme ultraviolet light images (as in this photo, which combines three wavelengths of UV light) because less matter exists at the temperatures observed. The coronal hole may generate some auroral displays on Earth.

— Tom Chao

Morning sun



Morning sun

In morning sun
yellow-green leaves
black branches
such contrasts flow..
yellow sun warmth
seems to pull..
pulls the sensations
fullness and growth
and makes nature
 luxuriant once more..
hidden chirpers note
the dawning of
summer...

Finding ourselves


Finding ourselves

Two or three
gathered
or more..
tribes and nations
families
June lilac petals
the universe..
Each is searching
for illusive identity..
Then into our
organs and cells
the joining somehow
of local and large..

Quietly listening now
to holo-gram whispers
from each and all..
all contains each
and each all..
Whispers ask us
to find ourselves
on roadways with
two destinations
always arriving 
and departing from
ports of call:
Each and All...

A gray day



A gray day

Sun hidden
subdued clouded
rays on this
June day..
Scaling of light
we respond
our internal scales
mirroring..
downcast some are
What matters though
are relational things
 darkened contrasts..
A Wakened
relational spirit
may bring reward:
 yesterday Sun...

Dimensions



Dimensions

Science
has searched for
those extra dimensions..
Fiction
imagines spaceship travel
wormholes as tunnels
to other worlds..
Perhaps your search
and mine should
turn around toward
vast innerspace..
Locate our center
as the place
 all dimensions meet..
and our growth
frequent recognition of
a relational whole
lower and upper
edges and spirit...

for Phil




 for Phil

First in memory
his joyous life..
life on earth
down here midst
plant animal and us..
Peace and wartime
his proud traditions
military and flag..
yet with discoveries
visions of more..

His mention recalled:
Mystery of Three
in One..
this faith nourished
his energy lifelong..
To many seeming
larger than life..
A family filled
his patterns of love..
 Those sporting fields
of friendly strife..

For my part:
A remarkable depth
his reaching insight
of rich difference
uniqueness of each..
Missions accomplished
before even begun..
With pause now
from remembered years
I have reached
my Point of 
joy with tears...









the Point of tears


the Point of tears

the Point
hovers between
joy and sorrow..
and it contains
a precious revelation
two emotions one..
Such fullness awakens
a birdsong rises
living creation unfolds..
and tears then
begin to flow...
