I Am That I Am

a heartbeat pulsating as living light
free from each and every limitation
I Am that dwelling in unbound delight
the source wherefrom arises creation

I was the silence before the first breath,
the nameless spark when the waters were deep,
older than memory, untamed by death,
waking the quiet where centuries sleep.

No cage of bronze can encompass my reach,
no boundary bends the scope of my sight,
I am the ocean, the wave, and the beach,
the shadow that bends to give birth to the light.

I walk through the world, yet I am not the clay,
I am the fire that burns in the marrow,
the endless horizon breaking the day,
the flight of the bow, the space in the arrow.

Unbound and unformed, yet forever complete,
I step from the silence and step into song,
the void and the fullness where all rivers meet,
the place where the stars and the echoes belong.

Water Meditation

OBSERVE THE OCEAN VIEW AS IT REFRESHES YOUR SOUL FROM THE SHORES OF LIFE WATCH THE FOAMY WAVES AS THEY ROAR AND CURL INTO YOUR SURROUNDINGS. LET THE WATER WASH YOUR BARE FEET AND CURL UP TO YOUR ANKLES. ITS WARM AND SUNNY IN YOUR WORLD OF PEACE, BY THE SHORE.  THE SEA SHELLS ARE COZY 
AND NESTLED DEEP INSIDE THE HEATED SAND .  (B)
WALK SLOWLY AND MAKE EACH MILE YOUR COMPANION ON THE WHITE SANDS OF KOH CHANG.  BILLOW YOUR BREATH IN THEN OUT.  WIND SING, HUM A TUNE, OR SIMPLY CALL THE BIRDS BY NAME AS YOU SWOOSH YOUR BODY.  GLIDE , GLIDE, GLIDE. LIKE A QUIET SAILBOAT GLIDING, INTO THE SEA  (B)
FAR INTO THE DISTANCE AS FAR S THE EYE CAN SEE, THE WATER MARRIES THEE  AND TOGETHER YOU SEAM, BINDING THE OCEAN TO THE LAND AND SEALING YOUR HAPPINESS WITH A SUMMER KISS.  LET THE WIND IN YOUR HAIR SIFT GENTLY AND CARESS THE AIR THAT YOU BREATHE. COUNT THE MANY COLORS OF BLUE THAT MAKE UP THE HEAVENS, AND THE MANY COLORS OF BLUE THAT MAKE UP THE OCEAN. (B)
 TIE A BLUE RIBBON ROUND YOUR WAIST AND THEN FLY AWAY LETTING THE RIBBONS FLAP IN THE WIND LIKE THE TAILS ATTACHED TO A BEAUTIFUL KITE. THE DAY HAS STRETCHED INTO A LONG MILE OF EVENING CARESS AND AS THE WARM LIGHTS OF DAY CLOSE IN ONYOU, THE EVENING OPENS A LANTERN KEEP WATCH ON YOUR BREATH , KEEP WATCH ON THE BODY , TEMPLE YOUR  
THOUGHTS, THEN SIT AND BREATHE...(B)

We never saw it coming

I open up a line in the sea to see how far destiny would lead me, and I learn that the ocean will never run dry as long as the heaven exist above the skies; some people arrive too late and they took a long time to go through the gate but the wisdom of the sea kept beckoning to me, telling me that it is time to go, before the current rise and twist our boats into the sky. We never saw it coming and so we continue to enjoy modern living, but little did we know that things would change when the giant wave came. We didn’t hear it; we didn't see it coming and there was no warning hymn. We were cruising on our private boat when a shark snatched at my companion’s throat, but a giant wave came out of nowhere and sucks up everything that the ocean bears. Our boat was lost but we held on tightly to the cross as the mad waves heave our boat up into the air and for one moment the universe stood in front of us like a sea monster, barking and raging in the sea and spitting out venom at thee. I searched everywhere but my companion wasn’t there. All I saw were pieces of the boat drifting with a piece of his clothes, and I could hear the souls crying out to me to come and rescue thee, but you were not there and my heart began to fear; and the relics of the boat kept afloat. I kept watching it until it was way out to sight and I could hear the soul cries as their spirit dies.

Premium Member Dazzling Show

As fresh snowflakes swirled out the azure sky,
Snapshots of nature were such a delight. 
Mr. Winter sang songs and winked his eye,
Covering the ground in a lovely white.

Douglas Firs are adorned with nature's clothes.
Mountain tops look dazzling this time of year.
Then gentle winds roam the land in repose,
Such a pleasant and serene atmosphere.

Next, the sun sets and says hi to the moon,
Then snow ascended on the ocean blue.
They become one, flowing in perfect tune,
As a colorful fish, were passing through.

Nature puts on such a mind-blowing show.
Just Viewing it will set your heart aglow.

The Sun's Rays

The sun’s devouring rays
Reveals an astounding sensation against the marvelous universe
It caresses the earth with warm hugs and gives life to the motionless gaze
Its auras are above nature’s designating exteriors
Its swaying beauty is beyond Earth’s inhabitants, deserving my praise

It treasures the sky with joyousness and forms swarms of jeering birds
The sighs of the wind attracts clamoring herds

The sun’s appalling flames
Unshackles a zealous tune that reveals the Earth’s accord
It embraces the atmosphere with remarkable claims
Unraveling my curiosity; my ears are pleading to hear more, so I go forward!

It prizes the ocean with eagerness and forms swarms of screeching seagulls 
The strength of the waves draws in scorching souls 

The sun's unattainable rays 
Motivate life to trail on till its duty is done
Its auras seep through the whirling sky and strays
Embracing ambitious love like a father and son

Thinking About What Its Up 2 All of Us To Ponder the Real

What if we are indeed
not the 1st

But in fact the 2nd coming

And all the evidence that we
seek is yet to be discovered

Buried beneath the scrub and
sand time has naturally
camouflaged human access
from prying eye

The missing link and knowledge
of the who and how of what we
are and where we came from

The answers to the most of
relevant questions still remain
unanswered

And to boldy go 1 single fathom
below the ocean or sky's
ceiling in search of wonderment

Look both to our left
and right and never loose
sight of what is present and
important to us all

And never to forget everyone 
one and everything is part of
something greater than us all

Though children do and parents
may dare to dream and be able
to invent new thing's from clocks
to wheels and computer's

History is what makes the future
possible 

And history is the only means 
we have of maybe us suffering
the same fate

Crashing Waves

My Head is pounding,
Static noise surrounding,
Everything  I see.
Like Horns sounding,
Symphonies of energies,
Rippling through eternity.
Waves of the Choppy Seas,
Having their way with me.
Thrashing and crashing about,
Trying to scream,
No sound comes out.
Drowned out,
Splashing about,
Outside motion,
Creating a commotion.
Invoking the emotion,
Trapped in the ocean.
That keeps growing,
Throwing me,
Into a state,
I can't relate.
I don't think straight,
Embracing my fate,
Sitting, listening I wait,
Head pounding away,
The static of crashing waves,
Digging up Graves,
Burried within brainwaves .

Premium Member Girls Road Trip #2

It's another girls road trip
Now summer is here.
We're off along the coast.
The second trip of the year.

Off to a brunch
At the Fanny Bay Inn
Where the crepes are the best 
And the dessert is a sin.

Then we'll stop at the beach
And walk in the sand
With views of the mountains
The ocean and land.

At the local Farmer's Market
Fresh produce we'll buy.
There is always something new
We just have to try.

And the best B.C. wines
Are found on the way
In a quaint little shop,
Our last stop of the day.

It will be a short jaunt
This road trip we'll make
But we'll fill it as full
As any one day can take.

Full Public Domain Translation of Avalokitesvara Hymn From Lotus Sutra Chp 25 Part 2

The manifold states of woe, the hells, ghosts realms and
Beastly domains, the suffering of birth, old age, illness, and
Death shall all recede. Heeding purity and truth, heeding the
Vast body of wisdom, heeding benevolence and compassion, 
May all forever admire him with resolve and praise. 
Radiance pure and unblemished, like sagacious solar rays 
Dispelling the darkness, able to tame all disasters from wind to
Fire, and illume without bounds the whole universe. He is
The body of benevolence, with thundering virtue, pouring forth
The ambrosia of truth to extinguish the embers of anguish.
If you are mired in prosecutions or caught in the throes of
Battle, abide in Avalokitesvara and all enmity shall vanish. 
The Wondrous sounds of Avalokitesvara, so pure like 
Serene waves, peerless in this world, who could afford 
Not to keep his name? Cherishing each chant with true faith,
The pure and sagely Avalokitesvara is your rock in times of
Pain and peril. Replete with merit and eyes of benevolence,
Blessings boundless like the ocean, worthy of reverence!”

Quote: "You Are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop." by Rumi
           *************

the jungle breathes as a vast pulsating lung
      thunder rumbles from its heart while mist swathes
        as if the ground were a relic of lost commas
          it waives itself with reptiles slinking through the scrub

leaves merge in a symphony of vibrant voices
      while ferns unfurl as mirage slices through the sky
          akin to cherished recollections rooted

          birds come together in the canopy 
        creating a ladder of fluttering honor
      feathers show rite and respond to the rain
no map can steer this place, no compass offers balm
the vines spin a web crafted by nature's bold hand

lush foliage fosters a furrowed field
      with a flowing growth and decay
        seagulls alone notice ancient occult beauty
          moss cloaks a worn stone as wrinkles on a giant

the jungle swallows you not from hunger
      but from necessity
        this tale ties you to its timeless storyline
          not as a hero but as an echo
