Pull of Silence




















Pull of Silence

If I do not
Stop writing
The Truth which
I wish to express
May well be more
Submerged..
Might I stop now
And allow the 
Dimmed light to
Remain as glimmer..?
Or might a few 
Words more
Serve to cleanse
What is already
Said...?

Bowl and Wax

























Bowl and Wax

Imagine
If you can 
A bowl encased in wax.
And the bowl one day
Discovers that wax
And finds no end to it..
It covers all sides and
Of thickness forever..
Lonely at first
Until this Aware bowl
Discovers her own
Makeup of Wax...

The Vow


























The Vow

Ruth and Naomi
Embraced the Grace of
Their common Self..
The one Self within
Which all journeys
Take place..and so
Ruth famously vowed
To go where you go and
Stay where you stay..
This wedding promise
Pointed to a Vastness
Unfolding into those
Religious stories which
We know so well..

(See the Book of Ruth)

No "doer"




























No "doer"

How so..?
Our conditioning
(Some say baggage)
Demands a doer..
I work in my garden
And clocked the time
To fit a schedule..
These assumptions
Bow to the seeming
Reality of time..
But time melts
When recognized as
A mind's facade..
Rendering a "doing" 
Without a doer...!


Start Here








Start Here

In the clarity
The stillness of
One Self..
Start Here
Then the unfolding
The iteration
The creation
All made of 
Only Here..
Seek ye first..

Wipe the slate clean








Wipe the slate clean

This default
When complexities bind..
The knowing of
The Placeless place
Eternally transparent
Where separation dissolves
And a surge of Joy
With new Understanding
Wipes our slate clean...
