THE DETRITUS OF OUR IGNORANCE
As we sweep aside the detritus of Ignorance
And allow the truth to flow,
unimpeded and unrestricted through our energetic being,
we liberate a unimagined potential to rebuild the new infrastructure,
to incubate and grow by living together in Love, respect and freedom.
The cloak, smoke, veil, wool pulled-over-our-eyes (whatever you call it) gig is up!
Awareness has been tripped, the tipping point into we-ness, transpersonal… Continue

WHY AREN’T YOU MORE *#!@*~! EMOTIONAL
I was with a friend the other night and she was recounting a story of her best friend, who’s son was having repeated difficulties in his long-term romantic relationship. It seems his long standing live-in girl friend would occasionally leave him to try on greener pastures. Thus far, she has always come back.
My friend became very enrapt in telling this tale. She was very emotionally involved and spoke on and on about the debilitating stress this… Continue

DESERT BEDOUIN ROSE
AaaaaaOOOOooooMmmmm ...
Oh sacred Bedouin [1] spirit,
wrapped in colorful shawl,
you gaze out from your desert of desolation,
stripped down to your beauty, essential and raw.
Your intoxicating, percolating spirit
pooling in the darkness of your eyes,
immersed so deeply,
steeped in dark, brooding Mystery.
The rose, tucked away in a book of fine desert prose,
one thousand years… Continue

ONENESS ALWAYS ALLOWING
Opposition
to oppose
to counter balance
Juxtaposed
The Oneness ALLOWS,
does not judge
Therefore sees all sides
of the fleeting faces of paradox

RAPTURE OF VOLCANO
Such rapture and beauty
held at bay.
The heart of your volcano,
smouldering,
wanting to erupt with such force
it takes the breath away.
Thus in my own way
I root for thee to be released
from your bondage
and secret vows with Grief.

BAKED IN FULL SPECTRUM RADIANCE
It makes a difference sometimes,
being four thousand feet
closer to the
hydrogen-fusion reactor
we call Our Sun, old sol,
warming us,
ninety-three million miles away.
Blue Skies and the Red Rocks of Sedona,
these ancient carved landscapes
are encouraging and provoking me
to step off the trails
to wake up well ahead of the dawn
to really drink in and appreciate the freedoms ...
Plenty… Continue

TECTONIC QUAKES FROM THE PAST
This past week, I was witness to
a rugged, self-reliant, beautiful woman,
successful artist, loving wife (etc. rich life resume ...)
Completely break down
into great bouts of sobbing,
deep weeping from an inner despair.
A current friend of hers was not finding any footing
and constantly sliding away from love,
when this lady's love was close enough to be felt seemingly everywhere.
This beautiful… Continue

A PARTING WITH REMORSE
A friend called me last night,
drowning in her mix of sadness and remorse.
An eighty three year old dear friend
of her now departed mom had died this afternoon
in her bed in the assisted living home.
My friend had been a devoted visitor and friend to this lady just passed.
My friend chose the path of biting her tongue
in the face of the chafing cynicism and wit
this now passed woman had nursed… Continue

GETTING TO KNOW THE EXQUISITE
Get it touch with the feeling
this inner knowing
at the center of your heart
that,
Being is something exquisite.
Re-partner and repatriate
so you may take up residence and fully manifest this life.
Everything else is just playing with shadows
listening to echoes, old habits,
nothing to do with naming and experiencing energetic Love.

THE NURTURER'S DESPAIR
The abyss of despair
You're already F'Ked.
Hope completely lost
then found in holding the
vulnerable other and consoling them.
Consoling, nurturing energies
practiced in-the-moment, on-demand,
always for someone else's welfare.
Make room for love
as it has come back home
to finally roost within you.

CONTAINER, NOT CONTAINMENT
We delight in playing in the light.
Come join me, finding some playfulness
in the mud and murkiness of the primitive swamp
The strength of our Container of fellowship and family
when built from the full spectrum of energies
brings a fullness of empowerment
an extra sturdiness of backbone
to stand still and face the unknowing.

POSTER BOY, PINNED TO THE WALL
I am sitting here on the hot seat
in the spotlight I have now transformed
into an interrogation room.
I squirm with my anxiety,
a circle full of people watching.
Quit F'King laughing and staring at this shrinking me.
Truthfully, I'm having a dickins of a time
connecting in this moment to my heart.
In my swollen pride, I am not finding the pathway
or handle to add wings to the heart-feltness of… Continue

BREAKFASTING ON DEMONS
Eat your demons at breakfast today
Else they shall just be 24-hour-a-day
Parasites,
snacking on your essence,
stealing your thunder,
strapping on their hi-jacking charges
to collapse your backbone.
Their destructive nature is insidious and relentless
as they work diligently to encourage you to cover over and encase your heart.

I've recently reconnected to my Buddhist acupuncturist. His recent… Continue

THE RACE TO BE HUMAN?
If we take a look a the state of the Human condition,
it certainly looks like we are caught up in some sort of race.
To cover over with distortions, deceptions,
cosmetic redirections
mechanistic reflections
our inner authenticity.
Expanded and condensed truths are waiting to be defined.
What a massive un-Education Project
is being readied
to restore spirit,
authenticity and
expressions of… Continue

DARK JUGGERNAUT
To shift and transform this seemingly dark juggernaut.
Here is how I am seeing it unfold
If there was not an equivalent
aliveness of Grace
and her attendants, forgiveness, compassion, ...
We would have long ago
wiped this earth clean
of all traces of
Humanity.
We have, at our disposal, our ancestral lineage,
a bounty of energies to pull from.
Know that you are not… Continue

OUTSIDE OF IMPORTANCE
What do you attach importance to,
outside of yourself?
Take an inventory!

VISCERAL DISCOMFORT
Let me please have a double order
of visceral discomfort
accompanied with an in-depth understanding
by directly experiencing these energies at play.
And, slow it way down,
so I can feel and observe it emerge
and blossom in my imagination.
Ah, so this is one of the trigger points
that cranks up my propensity towards contraction.
Without this new found awareness,
I'd keep caving in to the… Continue

EMERGENCE
In the silent nothingness
a hatchling breaks through
her brittle shell

BAPTISM IN EACH DAY

TAVERN OF ANNIHILATION
So, you've walked into
the Tavern of Annihilation
but you're still talking
like you're holding out
for some concoction
or cocktail of salvation.
Take a long sip from the depth of the Silence
and let everything you know be taken away,
especially all that talk and chatter about spirituality.
