Long Spaciousness Poems

Fr. Time, thanks for coming back again today.

Well now, you know I always have plenty of time
for Ms. Integrity!

Thank you for that rather cloying and creepy response.
I talked to FireGod a few days ago,

Beyond the Realm of Wishes
In sun-scorched dunes 
beside a weathered sentinel 
a glint ensnared his weary gaze.
A tarnished lamp / 
grazed / its secrets unknown / 
a genie unbound.... 
a muted haze.

Three worldly desires danced...

One individual called "she" stepped into the sheets of a life story
Sheets that used to be occupied
She walked back and stopped at a chapter which tell the story of an obsolete chamber
A space which stands...

It is so lonely
having all time
and only spaciousness 
to themselves.

Bored with Other
after so many millennia
planning future events
to finally get even for ungrateful behavior 
that pissed them off
when they were even younger
in their co-evolving relationships
as not...

~Tonight A Free Ride ~

Tonight my thoughts are running towards 
my healing ocean, becoming the place 
where voluntarily I am convinced to watch 
the thousands of stars in the sky, illuminating 
my shore on arrival,...

You say
you need,
we need,
to regain control.

Control to overwhelm me?

Or control together
discussed and planned
and then implemented
as a partnership
or team?

And, later, re-evaluated
for meeting win/win GoldRule Standards
co-governing healthy democracies
of resilient
non-violent communication,
self/other internal
and external mediation
open to seasonally appropriate climates
of...

The naturally arising
The magic of your mind
Effortlessly recognize it
Your inner peace is yours forever
None can teach it to you
Your compassion is yours forever
None can give it to you
Your spaciousness is yours forever
None can hold it

We all have had worst days and best days,
good and bad days and nights
works and plays.

My own largest part of learning to forgive myself
for bad days
of WholeEarth neglect
and win/lose interpersonal compromises,
for bad historic days
of letting...

how I wish I can note them all
this poem will be a record of sorts

I watched them - as in the first STARS in the sky,...

Fire catches fast, then sweeps through grass and trees.
The lion of the elements, it roars,
and burning hot, displays its awesome might.
Fire signs are one of four triplicities.
Bravely, like lions, those of fire will fight.
A fire-born...

The mug, warm in my hands,
not needing to be a goblet
overflowing with grand ambition,
but simply this familiar weight,
this gentle heat seeping in.

The rain outside,
not a storm demanding attention,
but a soft curtain blurring the edges,
a lullaby...

A mansion of little dreams with big hearts
Smiling faces seen to all the bypassers there
A night of evil vanquished the honest larks
Who knew the pain will penetrate to walls.
Merciless killings just for pieces of jewels

(“Nonbinary”, 2023, original encaustic)

Who Are The Good Guys?

It’s a simple question and obvious assumption
But the “good guys” are always “us”
And not them.

And yet all around us, all the time
We see people changing sides
Growing up, becoming...

DEDICATION: PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP AND THE USA.

 For spacious skies, from His Spaciousness
For amber waves of grain
Wave upon wave of graciousness
The Gap, the "Emptiness," think again -
Emptiness is not empty (Formless Bounty!)
There is more...

like stylus pen on punctured paper,
I move to move my Self
in silent form across the slippery 
sanctuary of being.

Why are we here?
my oppositional daughter 
defiantly asks.

Because we're not over there?
her appositional dad
too often
and frustratingly
responds.

Sogyal Rinpoche writes
"To embody the transcendent
is why we are here."
I doubt my daughter
would find this more satisfactory,
sounds like more patriarchal...

Pay attention to the silence
The pause right before words are spoken
The future exists in that holy space

Pay attention to the pause
The second of stillness before you draw your next breath
Your life exists in the gratitude...

("Mind's Eye", 2017, original encaustic)

Mind’s Eye

Within the crystal palace
of mind’s eye
what is small is large
and large is small;
no distance separates objects,
nor time moments.

Instead everything is light
reflecting and refracting
endlessly in a hall of mirrors.

At play, mind...
