Free of all agenda, unshackled and free,
And flowing like a winding river
Over shoals,...

     Au Natural, our first birthday suits
       soon obscured by zip-up rompers and baby boots

    Baby’s not embarrassed by her appearance
       insecure parents run interference

Some people say we must be at peace
within ourselves and with the world,
as if we should all become Zen monks,
with serenity our precious pearl.
But folks at peace don’t strive and seek,
since they feel no apprehension.
Perhaps it’s best to always be
in a natural state of tension.

Arrogance does reign
hoisting human nature’s gain ---
notwithstanding, we are led toward downfall pain.

Beyond towering pride
that offers us jubilant ride---
nevertheless, there awaits fatal stride.

Admitting weakness blight
we seek God’s help for righteous plight---
now, we walk along divine light.

Freed from selfishness-guile
we are braced to walk along kindness’ mile---
negating...

The sun begins the day,
Providing light to guide my way.
Yet still, I stumble upon
The weight of customs, illusions drawn.
I break each chain, one by one,
Unveiling life self-woven, undone.

Free from the weight of old deceits,
I walk where truth and freedom meet.
Vibrant as the flame within my...

I am naturally friendly,  or so I’ve been told
But that feels like bragging, exceedingly bold
A bit embarrassing, I tell you no lie
To tell you the truth, I’m naturally shy

When meeting new people I tend to clam up
So I smile and I nod and sip...

Life!
Can it be figured out in one’s entire life span?
Come with no preoccupied goals and aspirations
The moment we come, we‘re entangled in the web of desires. 
Desires lead to all predicaments.
Scriptures preach not to stoop down to wants!
Simultaneously, rituals take us into their hands.
They proclaim...

Ebullient ecstasy cascades in the rolling valley of time,
changes tenor with the reflection of the chromatic sky 
on the parchment of delightful dawn and dulcet dusk. 
On the sensuous cerulean canvas the emotive artist 
paints the poignant panorama of the unseen dreams,
perceiving the lively spirit...

“free from conditioned belief 

no agenda on our shelf

vibrant as the light of Self

life flows on all by itself”
 
Love of raw self is liberating
It is a beautiful thing to esteem
Self actualization is emancipating 
Flow within it as healthy blue stream

Tis no accident you are...

Pavlov’s dogs are salivating
bells of nature ring as
every action yields consequences
stimuli evoke a response and
primeval instincts dance with evolution

‘I think therefore I am’ jingles in the mind
while valid emotions seek freedom
from primordial shackles and chainsaws 

‘progress not perfection’ I hear you say
a cornerstone headway and...

If age is a constant then daydreams and nightmares 
will cease to exist when the best of life is achieved
as maturity stabilizes at a level of immaturity favors
the innocence in confidence-mired ill-retrieved
those hopelessly enwrapped by rhetorical triggers
stemmed by the proposer amongst the ill-believed
'tis liken a...

Free from the world’s stress,
Away from its nonsense and mess,
The mind is free from distress,
Nothing suppresses the soul’s access.

Free to embrace the light,
There are no tendrils of the night,
The pathway is radiant and bright,
This is the soul’s might.

Unbound by gloom,
Sunlight pervades the room,
Hope arises from...
