What does "I" stand for..??

 













The "I" word..

The most common word in every language

For centuries has stood for the person reading these words..

Sages are known to possess a much larger I..but the

Secret..that you and I might claim an expanded

Version..has found its home only on fringes..hiding a

Reckless bounteous Freedom..yet..there are those who 

In desperate times..found the Joy of this delicious word..

But..alas..have settled for a mirrored image..reflected 

Most clearly on their driver's licenses...


‘I’ stands for indivisible, infinite, intimate and innocent. It is the substance of all experience.~~Rupert Spira

The Tao that can be told..

 












“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.

The name that can be named is not the eternal name.

The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.

The named is the mother of ten thousand things.

Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.

Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.

These two spring from the same source but differ in name;

this appears as darkness.

Darkness within darkness.

The gate to all mystery.”

~Laozi, Tao Te Ching.

Appearance w/o an Opposite..

 







Appearance w/o an Opposite..

Oppositions

We observe today with expectation

In that stretch of the future..

But in a new time..as time is exposed

Oppositions are also exposed..and the

Seamless sounds..quivering and revealing:

Appearances..beauty expressing

Nothing at all..



Karma..

 













Karma..

Springs from the separation thing

Which says that we need improve

In this life..so not to be recycled..or 

Leastwise recycled in a more 

Comfortable way..

So..apparently..we need go back to

That separation thing..and excavate.. 

Unearth our illusion..putting an end to

The Karma thing...





Searchers...

 

















Thought for the day....... “There seem to be two kinds of searchers: those who seek to make their ego something other than it is, i.e. holy, happy, unselfish (as though you could make a fish unfish), and those who understand that all such attempts are just gesticulation and play-acting, that there is only one thing that can be done, which is to disidentify themselves with the ego, by realizing its unreality, and by becoming aware of their eternal identity with pure being.” Wei Wu Wei

Pandemic Walks..

 










Pandemic Walks..

Daily walking and taking photos during this pandemic, has been for me 

a fulfilling experience.  The kind of walks I enjoyed most are sometimes 

called a "Saunter," that is,  slowing down, removing a destination, and 

allowing a spontaneity in the discovery of new photo possibilities.  I 

learned there is nothing I observe out there that is unimportant,

which made the same walk  always somehow different.  The use of the 

camera on my iPhone, with several amazing photo apps, allowed much 

surprising variation and combination.   All in All..these walks revealed

that Amazing Grace appears as every-thing...
