As it is

As it is

Oneness

that is the experience

of your Self..

your real Self..

not the bifurcation

which you and others

have always thought

you to be...

tree roots

tree roots

they penetrate the pipes
irrigation and sewers..and are ever
seeking it seems..new paths to 
water fulfillment..
(some patching this morning of
irrigation line by our friend, Jeremy..)
this is a seeking which seems to promise 
that seeking will bring a reward..
these roots are as we..also seeking
water or ocean or that which denies
limitation..we see in the root's seeking
a similarity confirming a truth..
so..we need to turn..and find
the roots also turn..to discover now
search paths never end..and more:
the water we seek..we and the roots
is not to be sought..but what we Are...

appearance

We need to get used

to the truth of this word..!

it provides entry

into the new paradigm:

mind over matter..

consulting our experience

amazingly we find

appearance is all we know

or can know about

everything out there

in our household..world..

or universe...

fascism...briefly

fascism...briefly

it lies at the core of each of us..
the root..is the appearance of
fundamental separation arriving
soon after birth
and continuing strongly..or weakly..
in life..until it is known..
ego is the modern name given to
this primal experience which
is a necessity for health and growth..
ego reality is that of the body
as observer of that outer world..
which is our cultural consensus 
our view of things..most of us seem to
live and die in this unquestioned
consensus of who we are..
ego unleashed can become more than
positive personal identity..a tool for
a unique self engaging a troubled world.. 
the ego can compound the suffering of
separation..reaching for any means
to end the suffering..which increases
our dangers..dangers to self and others..
the only solution and remedy
lies close at hand..yet distant it seems
in our consensus reality..
we must identify the ego's reality
as insufficient for a life well lived
and recognize that it simply veils
something much more:
an identity unbounded and filled
with  peace and grace...

synecdoche

synecdoche
[si-nek-duh-kee]
ExamplesWord Origin

a figure of speech in which a part is used for the whole or the whole for a part, the special for the general or the general for the special, as in ten sail for ten ships or a Croesus for a rich man.

synecdoche

it is metaphoric
with holographic meaning
assuming a relationship
between part and whole..and part..
and by extension:
a polarity.. in which
the part lies within
is known by
(and this is the leap to be made
for truth and one's happiness)
made of the whole..

Nevermore

Nevermore

gently tapping 

at my chamber door

came this bird

as one word..

the word seemed to say

not your old booklore

not some visitor

not the darkness there

not the whispered name..

but simply perching

and waiting..this word in

 my silence..terrified..

I sat on my cushion

with my imaginings

with my memories

some perfumed..

and the word repeated

not these..not these..

a question arose

of biblical import

and in desperation

 I implored about the

balm in Gilead..?

 the word repeated..

upstarted I demanded

departure..leaving my

loneliness unbroken..

and even to this

the word repeated..

the word still sits

above my chamber door

awaiting my waking

from my life in shadow

floating on the floor...

  

Poe...The Raven

Words

appear discretely

but seem to grasp us

by the throat

insisting they are

most fleeting

and simply point

to the thing

to which they

point..

What is that thing..?

it seems as

something between

something dancing

and shouting:

don't pin me down...!
