Premium Member The Impermanent
("Spinning Earth", 2016) The Impermanent What is impermanent, by definition, Doesn’t last and can’t remain, And what is not impermanent? Yet each of us has a lingering thought That something must be. So we habitually project this intuition, This inner knowing of the most holy, Onto the everyday and profane. We think maybe we are somehow permanent Or maybe what we create, what we...

Premium Member Dharma and Karma
Engaging in action, based on dharma, without anticipating an outcome, generates for the earth soul, no karma. Such desirelessness is found quite seldom, for all that monks yearn for, is God’s kingdom. Looking from afar, at their detachment, we secretly admire their contentment, wishing that one day we too do ascend, standing erect, blissful, luminescent but are loathe to let go, will to...

Premium Member Facing My Dharma
Marooned in that, wretched office cubicle; I went inside to see; I communed with my soul. An artist has to paint; a composer has to create; and a writer has to write; so my soul and I deduced, that I would never be happy until I lived my life. I tried so hard to please everyone else, but I was never pleased; I lost…me. Parent’s,...

You know who you really are when the soul’s eyes and ears are open to the oneness of all life. A Melding of universal mind bespeaks the dharma; silence is the harmony of the ethers within....

It is unclear whether or not she ever used a commode. Darlene worried about the weather, the time, aliens, space travel, ESP. She worried about sugar, cancer, diabetes, mice, snakes and...

Premium Member Drink the Elixir of Dharma
Song on the wind; an ethereal composition can penetrate the soul; a spark and combustion reveals the fire of enlightenment. Spirit awakens to face the universal mind, on its god-flight. Platinum wings unfold and against a background of golden light; spirit soaring, we morph into atomic particles. The spiritual “Transporter” engaged opens multiverses travel; intelligent life...
