Conversation between Monk and People
“Nothing Real can be threatened
Nothing unReal exists
Herein lies the Peace of God”
from : A Course in Miracles
_______________________
aah, dear people, know Reality !
this path is no path at all, yet every
path lead heretofore, a surety
as alpha and omega swings
it swirls in whirly winds, calling
bringing sting or bling as Exalted
ignites every shadow stalling
narrow or wide in kind
blissfully fine ~
choose whichever path as way
to brook the truth from struth
testaments or wisdom books —
Void, though Heartful, material
and immaterial, holds no cobbles
tracks, sermons, gurus or mantras
quarks attune to All’s voiceless
unseen buoys ________reflect
oh, people, know Reality !
veracity lets you plunge so deep
dreams shatter, lids bleep, Awake —
to begin is breath within breath
under nostrils, mere observation
will energise, sing not vicissitudes
sensations within rising and passing
transmute without, like driblets in ocean
Release ! for on its own gently sows
as essence to dust bring pumpkins to
reap or lonely weeds, it matters not
Reverence triumphant above, below
integration of opposites rattles mettle
to burnish furnishes spirit, grid free
circular into pyramid, then merkaba
pentagon temples bare, pathless
path contains them all in stall
moving sanguine smooth, ungrooved
rise the wise who know that they
know, lean is fat, crown a hat —
all garbs we wear to aware, tear
in despair, seasons cycle ripe pears
withers, rebirth __spiral up, limpid
Exalted knows every umbrage
for it is His to witness choices
dwell present precious, surrendered
His Will kills not any mocking bird in
vain, sane is pathless path ordained
….reflect
oh monk ! we know we have
heretofore begun, virtues embraced
wholly our spirits will ascend, refine
all was chosen before we journeyed
on moving sands, dined, mourned
searching —
aah, dear monk, our living light within
unfolds steady ______we reflect (...)
by and by pure thousand petalled lotus
culminate — we nurture, imbue, exude
Reality’s path certainly is pathless !
