The whirlpool formidable
Danger inimical
But we are oblivious 
Relying on grace fortuitous 
Which resolves
Solves
All difficulties external & internal
At a time optimal for the miracle

Inevitable

Boomerang returns to doer
Karmic retribution 
Allow God to be the mover
Optimal solution 

Let not ego decoy 
Relax, have fun, enjoy
Embrace and imbibe joy

Desire sprang
Boomerang

summer red sunsets 
faded with the blue ocean 
hug a starry night 

above dark waters 
the stars' optimal moment
attract watching eyes 

~best twinkling instants~
a reverie to be kept
when grey winter shows

Amazing beauty, citrus delight, esteemed Florida growers,
Hoping irresistible juices kiss lips make nuances optimal.
Producing quality reared sweet tasting, universally
        very wanted, x-tra yum, zestfully.

Is it oval where
your aspirations and hopes scale
unscaleable walls,
seeking to meet in the middle?

Maybe--

a rectangle would
be optimal? Shorter
walls to climb, but if
successful, the realization
would appear to be
longer lasting, as the top and bottom of
the rectangle is much longer.

Maybe?...

i am a man
dressed in pink
diapers
she is a woman
we meet
we conjugate
million spermatozoa released
swim upstream in the fimbriated
tubes of love
one reaches and penetrates
maybe in the optimal conditions
ovum is the female egg
zygote is grown 
an embryo is born
we are delivered soon

memories recalled
are but wisps of smoke
because as the adage goes 
we cannot cross the river twice
and therefore the urge to look back
has its roots in narrow ego attachments 
which it is optimal for us to relinquish 
that the vibrancy of the moment 
be embraced and released
imbibed and assimilated 
to enrich our being...

noticing stupor
recognising delusion
and bondage to desire
we negate by observation
identification with body-mind
and so simply by our nonchalance 
there remain no limitations to transcend
accepting what is as is and optimal for soul
and thus in timeless time the fetters drop away
leaving presence in its pristine state as light of Self...

You don’t deal with the hand that you were dealt, its all in how you Play with the 
hand you were dealt.  

Optimal words “Deal” and “Play”.  

If you deal with it, you may never win, never overcome, never achieve higher 
levels.  

But if you play, you will lose some, you will win some, therefore you become a 
Player of life and not live a life whereby you are Played....

Lustrously youthful;
Lion-like in strength;
Fearless like an eagle;
Courageous;
Critical;
Optimal;
And emotional too…
O, young man!
You see the river flooding;
Currents whirling;
Depths expanding;
Young and old getting curled…
Jump!
Hump!
Swim with 
Full swing….
Bring, as a minimum,
One back to life…

External environ compelling
yet relaxes its merciless hold
unable to get our attention
that God everywhere beholds

Each manifestation appearing
accepted by us as optimal
in trust that for our soul growth
every breath is a divine miracle 

As we thus flow in staid stillness 
empty within and unexpectant
divine magnetism fills our being
making ego responses decadent

No sooner our mind accords preference
to an outcome imagined optimal,
fears boomerang, stifling heart’s radiance,
self-blocking onset of God’s miracle,
manifesting fate inhospitable.
Reworded, our power of creation
births consequence as of thought suggestion,
which being rooted in ego craving,
unwittingly chooses agitation,
whilst cessation enables elation.

In troubled times, we turn towards prayer
as optimal means, to restore balance.
Thus we recognise God, as our saviour,
even if a desperate dalliance,
surrendering our rigid ego stance.
Contemplating on these lines, we conclude
lower mind impulses, merely delude.
Our detached presence, is free and unbound,
devoid of fears and desires, thus unglued,
as rapturous bliss, within heart resounds.

“Let he who has never sinned, cast the first stone” 
~ John 8.7


To be love enabled
Earth life is optimal
We’re spoilt for choice
In this dualistic realm
Where sharp contrasts
Pose to us a question
That within the lucid dream
Do we resolve all conflicts
By love and love alone

If not, then we are reborn
Upon earth again and again
Until the lessons imbibed
Are within heart assimilated

We conjured a dream sequence 
Aimed to entertain
But our thought had potent power
So the demon had to be slain

We took a step backwards
To examine the cause
It was our stuporous awareness
A tendency to pause

Stagnation then our nemesis 
Caught in egoic glue
Mindfulness the path optimal
Deeming each breath as new

Emptying out mind-body form
Of feral instinct
In timeless time bliss energised heart
Soul at last, by love inked...

You work up the gigabyte of courage it takes 
one to cross the gigabit gulf that separates us
on this vast and coldly digital sea of loneliness

I ponder a terabyte's worth of polite words of
of reluctant decline that serve but to make the
depressing of a button, less depressing for me

Then, I precisely calculate the optimal phrase
that will satisfy my purpose and the data storage
required for a rejection, in 140 characters or less

In both manifestation
Or the dark void
We be in bliss elation
In stillness overjoyed

Interconnectedness 
To infinite expansion
Dissolved oneness 
Upon vaporisation

In vibrant emptiness
Divine is the mover
Bestowing aliveness
Enabling petals flower

Alignment of identity
With God consciousness 
Connection in continuity 
Single eye awareness

Distilling our attention
By surrender prayerful
Our optimal meditation 
To behold Gods miracle

Between action and inaction,
lies the optimal middle way,
of soul’s vibrance gaining traction,
invoking in time, divine grace.

With silence as our default mode,
feeling how polarities merge,
ineffable bliss fills our form
and as we sing to God an ode,
bliss magnetism begins to surge,
sweeping us away in love’s storm.

The simple shift from head to heart
and thereafter melding with space,
in time stretched stillness, a learnt art,
is how our soul invokes God’s grace....
