presence unresistant
transmutes as the flame
living light self-existent
that has no name

Wisdom scriptures speak of imbibed,
simply being unresistant
and as bliss on heart is inscribed,
God’s light no longer seems distant.
As bliss burns in mind-body urn,
pristine presence awaits its turn
to assimilate the knowing,
doing nothing, gently flowing.

neither negating nor accepting
wait for clear light to dawn within
mind unresistant and heart receptive
poised thus in silence God search begin
attention animated in its native element
awareness awake devoid of thought
discarding even memory imagery
path taken by those self-taught
not a practice but an orientation
void centric clinging not to any object
sans thought ego as subject too recedes
emptiness simply viewing energies intersect

Spherical vision
Little by little,
see how fears whittle
away at our soul;
joy that ego stole.
We are not body
nor dark thoughts shoddy;
rather, living light,
throb of bliss delight.
Ego’s agenda,
desire addenda,
we hold in contempt,
as impulse unkempt.
Exit hypnosis,
is our prognosis ~
soul unresistant,
to the bliss current.

THE CUTTING EDGE*
salt and salt assault
their wrists can’t resist
the attack, the zip
their skates sizzle
on the salty ice
sniffervescent**
cold and fresh
unresistant
chained back to back
in escapades
hearts a-beating
threatening to give them away
so they turn
a-way and away
‘til an I love you
is dropped onto the ice
like a lady’s lacy handkerchief
the olympians trace
a myriad of hearts
on the transparent rink
the rush of applause
the comeuppance of audience*** —
loves pink-glazed cheeks

*The Cutting Edge - 1992 Movie tribute
**Sniffervescent - The effervescence of sniffing the ice,
the enjoyment of being on the ice
***comeuppance - I’ve used here as a reversal of its original meaning -
the crowd comes to its feet, instead of penalty, a reward.

they fall into my lap, unresistant.
chocolate, the size of a silver dollar.
sensation of mint betwixt my fingers.
I bite into each one, its cool breath
second to none. Godiva
ceased production of these tongue trinkets.
love pales with petals and Russell Stover…
my husband and I hold hands,
press our temples together and sigh
with the sprightly rush of memory.

especially tasty at Fisherman’s Wharf.
still I gladly accept tulips in a väse,
its life-giving water, and caramel dreams.
my heartthrob beams awaiting the verdict —
it’s Valentine’s Day. he’s pretty sure I am his.
holding daisy by the stem —
she loves me, she loves me not
just to be sure, he’s counted each petal beforehand.
eleven flowers on the floor — for pity sake.

That
that was
hitherto
hidden from us,
in time is revealed.
The ego impatient,
as a doer, interferes,
impeding flow of the current,
thereby delaying our soul progress.
The path clear: we must vaporise ego!
Unable to use mind to transcend mind.
we melt into the void of stillness,
going within in quietude;
in tranquil joy solitude.
No one here resident,
save child innocent,
unresistant,
allowing
bliss to
flow.

Seizing the moment, yet quick to release,
that essence of elixir be retained,
as we flow on thus in nonchalant ease,
each subtle nuance within is sustained
by our childlike presence, pure and unstained.
Is-ness of life, in the now is aglow,
incomprehensible to ego thoughts slow.
We simply flow wherever love takes us,
in the continuum soft and mellow,
joyous and unresistant without fuss.

The here & now continuum complete
On an as is where is basis suffused with bliss replete
Caveat being no thought interference
Attention flow unfettered in divine entwined parlance
On relinquishing desire for attainment
Knowing maya conjures illusions without abatement
There remains resident no doer within
Our hollowed out body drawing in divine magnetism
Flowing unresistant in trust & wonder
We embrace, hold & release each pulse in surrender
Free of both anticipation & stagnation
Gently imbibing and celebrating throb of bliss elation
Nestled thus in thought rested silence
Integrated with the divine sublime in playful parlance
We are as we are content & complete
The child within in exuberance each pulse does greet
At Gods lotus feet

Seeking blissful joy in permanence
The deluded yet engage in mind body parlance
Our astonishment thus knows no bounds
As spiralling fears and desires do twirl us around
Recognition not liberation
Until suffused with love as our orientation
Nestled in stillness we are centred
Imbibing the bliss current which within us canters
Inner and outer in alignment
We flow on unresistant in blissful contentment

Taking each occurrence as perfect
although it may not be apparent
ceasing to weigh or measure or size
we flow in the current unresistant
Each doing that is done is with gusto
there being no stupor phlegmatic
for unendingly throbbing with rapture
bliss in renewal has us all ecstatic
We may say that we do not really exist
as the word is usually interpreted
for our identityless presence emptiness
frivolous ego agendas deselected

She slow- slips feet in poems
Tears trickle from sky- high eyes
down earth's cheeks to find the stream
I love your long water veils
abseiling splashed self down,
streaming gently life's sheer sails
Father shows me a true source-
Tugela springs from plateau
spread out with windblown scrub.
Symbiosis exists here.
Vague thoughts of Virginia
wading, stone-weighted pockets
dragged her down deep to depths...
A mind burst by selfdoubt's clouds
touch my unresistant heart.
There's only one way to go,
trained by firmament's full flow-
downpour your loyal consort
sending mind subservient-
twisting those transcendant traits
through trails of least resistance
Aah, River! You flow fullsome
as you rush, rapids gushing
roughshod through brim-filled banks.
Thunder hails soaking cloudbursts-
Storms suit well- recessed levels-
Overflow forms new outlets
shaped by pushing poweshift.

Tis a hollowed place
This maze of hidden alleyways
Which in blackness bonds
To these rat infested cobble streets
Where the gas lit lamps betwixt the corners stand
With the lone Bobbies, statues upon their beat
London, a smoldering city of ashes
Falls, tranquil within the first of lunar light
But, looming darkness transforms
Becomes the she, of accomplice
As we, the brutes are once again
Reanimating in the midst of twilight
Kings on our own
With daggers and a flask of scotches
Domains amid the sacred ruin
And greed with gain
We are home among our friends
And in the dank corner pitch kingdom, we anticipate
From a realm dubbed “The Dead End”
Lush stumblers, streetwalkers or the naïve
To enter here, our law says you must pay the toll
Or pay the piper before you leave
Then, spirits bestow a courage
As my bony fingers raise with the blade
Unresistant to the temptation of foot fall innocence
That soon comes unto this way
Tis a lonely hollowed place
This maze…
Of streets and alleyways…
