Dream-like

Dream-like

Reflecting this moment

on what we call

our waking world..

from rising sun

to setting of dark..

some are asking:

is this a dream..?

some of scientists

are also asking:

observer and observed

are these contained like

 dreamer and dream..?

then we are asking:

if all is dreamer and dream

what would waking

reveal...?

True Story

True Story

a flow

of many forks

one river source

end in beginning

beginning in end

 wholeness transcends..

the river much more

with similar forks

reflecting the source..

this river story

perhaps it's location
 unclear:  out there

or in here..?

if no answer 

a True Story...

Third Eye

Third Eye

Four eyes

in soft contact

contact lost

and regained..

separate in merge

in this moment

four Now one..

finding the

shared illusive

Third Eye...

(Third Eye as

pineal gland..

small singular
organ behind

our eyes..)

Welcome

Welcome

Into our space

life varieties penetrate

many are those

greeted with joy..

yet many others

find our unwelcome

depositing a wish

to flee or fight..

and questions of Why?

darken the wish..

perhaps the Taproom

or the PastryPantry

answers the wish..

Her advice arrived

simply one day:

enclose each invasion

with a Welcome..!

then watch for

a Light display...!

Sixteen Swans

Sixteen Swans

Rising in our morning
might we find a theme
an image which gathers 
 ragged edges of  day..

Before engaging take pains
 reject defective creations..
 surrender to one theme
 emerging from shadow..

Then to survey many
mosaic pieces fallen..
and find on the floor
theme patterns reflect..

Must know our theme
is well hidden
arrives in variations
through ambiguous day..

Then in our depths
in ecstasy we know
the theme we created
is our creator also..

Recapitulation at evening
a symphony complete..
we explosively repeat:
Now it is good...!

"Today I saw sixteen swans.

God, what beauty!  They 

circled over me for a long

time.  Disappeared into the

solar haze like a silver

ribbon."

--Jean Sibelius
while composing his
5th Symphony..
the ascending swans 
his theme...

Magpie

Magpie

plaintive in treetop

faces all directions..

now there are two

 connection uncertain

a plaintive connection...?

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom

A rock enclosure

 horseshoe formed..

walls display 

eyes-faces-images

 an animal kingdom:

serpent and tortoise

elephant and frog

a swift trout..

guarded by a

human appearing..

images stimulate

mind's search for

similarity without..

in finds out..

out is in and...
