I sit beneath a sacred tree. Seeking no meaning. I just am
Stillness gives way to clarity.
I vow to awaken us all
Searching for nothing. Waiting to rise above this earthly realm
Detaching from this body’s natural state of chaos
Bombarding all senses, numb
Dharma is obtainable, I vow to obtain it

Nature of Mind
This state, not the external one
Of time and place, but the natural state
That knows no in or out, one or many,
Is our true home. And yet we wander
Endlessly searching for what is already here.
What is this state?
Open, welcoming, forgiving, peaceful,
Without causes and conditions
Thus unborn and undying,
The simply spacious nature of our mind.
Relax now in this state, this home
This very moment
To embody its changeless nature,
And so renewed,
To share the joy.

The purest souls
glide on wings of light.
Illumination is not necessarily
the effect but,
a soul’s calling to enlightenment.
You awaken when you
see beyond mortality
a Bodhisattva I be,
come join me.
Awaken to the
ecstasy of flight,
the light calls
and I will teach you;
Nirvana is yours.

In Mahayana Buddhism, a bodhisattva is an enlightened person who gives up his personal salvation in order to save all living beings through mercy.
To hear, to ignore the consequences,
to give up everything, to sever ties
with common sense, to go along with senses
which choose the bumpy roads to the skies,
to bare yourself, to strip away enigmas
of body, to expose private parts
of soul and, notwithstanding norms and stigmas,
to answer the last call for lonely hearts.
That’s bodhisattva’s way. It's pretty hard
to answer calls of every lonely heart.

I met a Bodhisattva yesterday.
It was, of course, by pure accident.
He helped me with my luggage on the way.
Waiting for the train with bored intent,
I walked aimlessly around the station,
checking out ads and bulletin boards,
found an article with illustration
of a man, who, for many years, unloads
passenger's baggage, helps loved ones
find each other, soothed rumpled feelings,
allayed young ones fears of the train that comes,
all things done as unpaid volunteering's.
An enlightened life of service without ego.
Who will take his place so he can go?

Soulful
searching
natural embrace
under a tree
Spellbound
drawn in
aura
captures me
Sit down
in a zone
sense nothing
just be
River flowing
tranquil thought
Quiet mind
I am free.

So REAL E
Ashlee Woman
please meet me
Half the Way,
and I’ll make sure
That it’s Me
you want to
Consummately lay
with
Under soley shoefull
Jacuzzi whirlpool
Sunder Bluefull
Showers
Where together
We’ll unleash our
wonderful & wiccan powers, and
You know...
I never want anyone
To be in pain;
I’ve had enough
for all of Us
To put it very plain,
to deliver such
Rich message,
As though from above,
So hear me Ashlee,
And this time
Listen good,
I’d give You my
Heart and being
If I only could
Encased with
Silly simple songs
Of sincerity, peace, and love.
