WHAT REMAINS?

WHAT REMAINS?

We keep a focus

on what appears as the world:

the morning newspaper

checking email and 

Facebook and checkbook..

Perhaps we meditate

and notice the thoughts

interfering it seems

with meditating goals..

All of these outward

attractions and destinies

seem to claim somewhat

of what we are.. 

The question may assert:

What remains..?

The assertion arriving 

with fits of discomfort..

We might respond:

Nothing remains:

a frightening reply 

to some..calming to others..

This introduction

to what we are

is the real message

of this season...

Being of help

Being of help

It takes courage

to assert ourselves

claiming an identity

that has found fraud

in the seeming separate ego..

Oftentimes the ego clamor

with its many stories and facts

seems as a barrier unassailable..

Perhaps what is needed

is to relax

recognizing the answers

are embedded in the questions...

Science and Religion

and

The only reconciliation comes

from the recognition of the

Truth which illumines their

background..

It is the Perennial Truth

with a glow dimmed

as we immerse in 

either science or religion..

In religion is downloaded

an apparent separation

which is persistent 

in religious perception..

In science another download

and another separation..

These are prodigal journeys

and a return seems beaconing..

Science..in its quantum newness

seems slowly turning..

Religion..in non-dual awakening

may yet turn toward home..

Or..is each of us

by our own experience

marking the path...

Zig-Zag

Zig-Zag

Downtown or on the roadway

zig-zag searching

always for something..

Stopping at a coffeeshop 

reaching a place

seemingly removed..

An interruption in

a zig-zag map

with map forgotten..

The coffeeshop was not

a zig stop..or a zag

just momentary..a respite..

Might zig-zag dissolve

right here and now

 in this cup of coffee...?

Portal

Not noticed 

yet most nearly near

hiding in plain sight..

A portal to what all are seeking..

Seeking by plan and by process

awaiting the day and the time

for that which is sought
to appear..

That has many names

reduced to finding our portal..

Many findings on many paths

flare in the moment

announcing the search's end..

But those findings

very soon confess:

not here..now not..
It is close
much closer...

The chameleon's lesson

The chameleon's lesson

It is a lesson on time

taught by changing colors..

The external coloration

never really changing the

whole chameleon..

It seems that creations within

a whole being

simply color that being

with the colors

made only of that being..

This is our own Reality:

the external world

our chameleon colors..

An experience of wholeness

here and now

outside of time...

Intersection

Intersection

Where is the point

where consciousness meets

our conventional self..?

Seems as depending

on our point-of-view..

From the conventional point

there is a shining experience

available to all:

simply..I am..

From the consciousness point

a veil is drawn

to allow for the

conventional point..!
