The Need for Practice (Revised-Ha!)

Loving yourself is the birth of romance,
Dancing alone is still dance,
Practicing augments one’s courage to try
Failure at worst brings a sigh!

Athletes learn early the secret of gain,
Find they can work through most pain,
Who cares in time they will likely get beat,
Masters...

Day in, day out… I’m here
softly walking down 
the corridors of your mind
a seductress in search of the room
where you hide your heart

The train of my lace gown trails behind me
my bare feet hardly making a sound
yet my scent…..
my scent alerts you to my presence
and...

Pruning to make good music
Growing notes of life...

Before you have affixed to anything a label.
Before you even have a single thought,
practice NDA when you are able
whether you’re “aware” of 
Non-Dual Awareness or not!

Relax and breathe; now SEE
an object – any object – as an ENTITY,
an entity which also is aware of YOU.
Move...

Each piano note 
Played skillfully with soothe hands 
No need for tension . . . 
It can heal the soul
The heart that's dying to ex-
Press those precious chords 
Piano Practice - 
Repairing my unstable 
Thoughts of distress...leading me to my ruins...
I have not achieved any...

When I mention my morning meditation practice,
many respond with wishes and hopes
they could
would
should discipline themselves
to also join in to this practice
practice
praxis
until fragmented uncommunicative ego/ecosystems
finally get life resiliently realistically right
more than ego-narcissistically wrong.

But this,
I ego-think and eco-feel,
reverses what is a more centrally profound point
of ZeroZone cosmic-organic...

There are many genuine , good and kind people in our world

Who’s  kindness, empathy and good deeds are apparent

Who give and help those in need without expectation

Their authentic , selfless, humble souls transparent


There are also those who voice all the right words

Yet their words...

When first we met, in sailor town,
the slim jim chased, and I was found.
His greedy lips did hold me down.
With me, he wed, and we were bound.

But leaves did crisp and we did fall
into set ways beneath old oak.
The charm and grace did hit a...

Oh the love of God so transforming
it brings such wholeness to a person
no barrier can stop it coming through
when you realise you're his special son

Give all your love to God on high
share that same love to one and all
show others what God's love is like

I write so when i'm wrong i'm still right, 
I fly words like planes the wright brothers rite?

This is nothing new you could of knew what i'd do.

Go to the store to get...

They Say practice makes perfect, 
But I'm only practicing Emptiness

They say it's because of heartbreak
But really I haven't had the privilege, 
The only reason for my heartache 
Is I haven't played life's cribbage...

The Golf Practice

By Elton Camp 


Sue hit the ball with a mighty swing 

Didn’t know problems it would bring 

Although Ms Sue had called out “Fore,”

It crashed through a window next door

The owner yelled at her, “Stupid thing.”...

Beautiful summer day. You know you're gonna die
that's why you know no joy.
Obsessed with self, there is no answer
unless religion, tv, stories, sports matter.
So what if nothing rhymes and I don't
bring my life into an expressible state
or fight purposelessness, anomie. No one writes.
Running the gauntlet...

Adulthood in Practice
(For Adult Contest)

There came a time when I began to see
That this life was about more than me.
And as that view sharpened in my sight
I saw a line separating wrong from right.

If by choice I placed myself in the wrong,
I knew I could...
