Consciousness expansion invisible
Entwined with all of divine creation
Nestled in our hearts love...

wonder what is their design and their goal?

Multiverse
Distant jewels of night inthrall my eye.

Inside I feel alien to humankind...
With their fruitless efforts to quantify-
eternity and shape reality.
They place limits on...

Cross cirrus sky swift brush strokes paint mares' tails
Tree tops are in restless susurration,
While cumbrous clouds traverse in vapour trails

Fearless in the void
Rapid currents; we know not how to swim
What is at stake, is life of fleeting form
We let go, celebrating outcome grim

Peaceful Contentment of the MindThat we could dance upon the dew dry grass
beneath a bluish sky with little cloud,
we listen to the music grand as brass
as clapping cheered us from the evening crowd.

The Last OneA pale man lay in an old peoples' home,
And told his story to a nurse's aid.
From time to time his mind did seem to roam -

Vibrant inner silence
Allowing each pulse to be felt within
Without perceptional interference
Silencing ego borne stuporous din

In childlike trust, we melt into the void
In clear light, we behold...

To celebrate the faith's loveliest child,
Who never...
