the path of illumination
that is my only fixation

my focus for life's duration
is simply self-exploration

if i start to feel stagnation
it's a sign for deep meditation

watching the lungs respiration
awed by the entire creation

sami fills each inhalation
hucha leaves each exhalation

a disciple of divination
wounds open for transmutation

some times require concentration
others best used for relaxation

to be a master of manifestation
one must relinquish all separation

life is not as complicated
as it's made out to be

all problems are fabricated
life's simple in reality

it's only when one veers away
from the timeless truth of now

all confusion dissipates
as you focus between the brow

forget about the journey you've trekked
forget about the final destination
remember
there is only this step

forget about past grievances
forget about making amends
remember
there is only this moment

forget about your weight and age
forget and the bodies looming death
remember
there is only this breath

forget about the mistakes you've made
forget about reaching enlightenment
remember
there is only this choice

do you see how simple life can be?
when you strip away the falsity

consciousness undergirds all creation
like a hologram we're all in relation

when one part changes...the whole changes too
holding it all together...love bonds like glue

know who you are...that which is not fleeting
if you need a reminder...your heart inside is beating

know who you are...that which is not fleeting
if you need a reminder...your heart inside is beating

you are the question
and you are the answer

you are the music
and you are the dancer

you are the dreamer
of multi-faceted dreams

this outer world of maya
is more fluid than it seems

your soul has journeyed far
you are many layers deep

hence all the confusion
the truth can barely seep

this illusion is quite thick
the logos has done well

with faith choices are made
to break free from the spell

and once you pierce the veil
there is no going back

awakened from your slumber
responsibility replaces slack

your life becomes one of virtue
full of intention and a moral code

an awareness of what is immediate
helps to lighten the daily load

no longer do you worry
no obstacle makes you fret

in the here and now you remain
you don't look back in regret

there is a freshness in your eyes
others feel safe in your presence

all the gifts you came to share
flow effortlessly from your essence

not a morsel of misery gets rejected
a mirror doesn't pick and choose what's reflected

in the heart of great spirit all is accepted
each of us is loved, cherished and respected

for our explorations through time and space
what is invisible we have given a face

from cold dark nights we've learned to embrace
hiding and seeking in a circular race

the rings of being widen unto forever
the infinite creator is so very clever

such glorious patterns...such intelligent designs
plotting the points of symmetry and connecting the lines

geometry is sacred...a language far deeper than words
nests built in circles...no doubt it's known by the birds

the flowers are pure expressions...on display when its sunny
let's not forget the bees with their hexagonal combs of honey

drops of water freeze into intricate flakes of snow
to the fibonacci sequence all of nature does grow

the golden angle divides the spacing of the leaves
man is made of this proportion no matter what he believes

pinecones spiral forth as do the shells of the sea
mimicing biology is the next step for humanity

the structure of sound through cymatics revealed
implosion is how the one truth stays concealed

dive head first
don't just dip your feet

the truth for which you thirst
in the depths you finally meet

the surface creates much froth
which is quite enjoyable for awhile

but to transform a caterpillar into a moth
one must go below like a crocodile

to silence the ego succumbs
to a will that that is much greater

relax those opposable thumbs
there will be time for doing later

now you refuel with life's invigoration
enter the portal to the treasure inside

nature invokes the use of imagination
remember where you always reside

these rhymes that get written
are really seeds

feel free to plant them
nourish them into deeds

i hope they take root
i hope to see them bloom

the motive is to elevate
the help rise above all gloom

i want you to feel empowered
to be showered in love's glory

i want you to dream big
to script and act out a magical story

i want you to take the hero's journey
to be at peace when it gets rough

i want you to live in your element
to know yourself as whole and enough

every situation is an invitation
to open up wider your heart

increasing the love that you feel
that my friend is life's best part

will you rise to the occasion?
empathy growing towards each other

can you see opposites as complements?
can you embrace fully but not smother

thoughts are universal
not individually rooted

from silence they all come
into silence they get transmuted

the quiescent source we share
it is the link that forms the chain

the connection of the heart
is much stronger than the brain

always begin and always end
in the mystery of what creates

technique and service is helpful
but devotion opens the gates

love, light, unity and joy
the overarching lessons for all realms

the reason for materialization
is to release and heal all qualms

to be one is to be all
and with that great knowledge
come greater responsibility

everyone then becomes your child
each so worthy to receive affection
every choice has repercussions

building upon itself
just like harmonic waves
love multiplies exponentially

magicians molding reality
pure perception is the golden key
the seductively solid sense of touch

heavenly father
divine mother

help us to see all
as a sister or brother

friend, beloved god
saints and sages

masters and messiahs
of all the ages

we bow down to you
in humbleness and respect

the love you have lived
we hope in our lives to reflect

be with us today
upwards our thoughts please guide

may we stay in our hearts
where the creator does abide

meditation is not something one does
just like a bee doesn't try to cause a buzz

meditation is the natural state of being
when the mind is blank and there is pure seeing

without labels to judge and to compare
when nothing is held there is nothing to snare

be careful what you set into motion
every choice is a magical potion

be deliberate about the thoughts you think
all of creation awaits on the brink

the spiritual path is always under construction
the future moves closer by your instruction

no saint ever said, "it wasn't worth it"
plunging into the shadows...falling into a pit

indulge fully, battle with or rise above
always seek purer ways you can love

subtract what can be subtracted
awareness is what will be remaining

inseparable from this moment i am
always full with no waxing nor waning

there is an ever new freshness to life
that is what keeps it so exciting

eternally fascinated by what will come next
just like these words i am now writing

i have no idea where this poem is headed
it is steered by the whims of wonder

towards now is the general direction
beneath the naming i want to pull you under

presence is a constant that never falls away
our true identities are identical

every thought one has is an afterthought
can you see how your life is theatrical?

healing is built into everything
we are trying to escape

stop hiding...nor more running away
open the window...all curtains undrape

people will always confront you
with your own rejected waves

freedom comes with acceptance
where denial only enslaves

be on the lookout for your shadow
through projection it's most easily seen

the process of daily forgiveness
keeps the underlying screen clean

nobody can live up to an image
keep your expectations at bay

when temptation comes to greet you
bless and wish it well on its way

who you are cannot be practiced
it's more automatic than this breath

what has no beginning can have no end
transcending the cycles of birth and death

consciousness is the ultimate mystery
who can fathom how it all came to be?

all we ever know is this precious presence
the clear light of now is forever free

whatever life delivers
it's already been allowed in

there is a deeper acceptance
that gives one a permanent grin

when you know your very essence
you know you can't be touched or harmed

from this sure feeling of safety
you realize there is nothing to be alarmed

and so you relax into the flow
every knot becomes untied

rarely getting knocked off balance
when in the center you reside

as if there were an easy button
you've found the path to lasting joy

the only change was an undoing
the mind's need to accept was a ploy

thinking is actually guessing
when one thinks one does not know

share the subtle vibes of blessing
the secret language of silence will show

the sacredness of life in plain sight
and all you had to do was stop

acknowledging the source of all light
from the head to the heart now drop

every moment a spell is cast
by the blinding light of the sun

quit chewing over the past
spit it all out and be done

let go of the baggage you carry
it is only weighing you down

ask for help from the realm of the fairy
they'll give you shivers from toe to crown

call in your helper and guides
they're waiting to pick up the phone

when you're seeking to make great strides
you don't have to do it alone

yes, ring up your allies and friends
turn each day into a celebration

and just before the party ends
express your thanks with joy and elation

when you look at the sun
you are looking at a mirror

it is showing you a reflection
that is perfectly clear

don't shy away
you are that grand

and this planet called earth
is the promised land

remember when you were a flower?
your petals unfolded like dreams

remember how you felt in the morning?
as you welcomed the sun's first beams

remember how slowly you opened?
taking in more and more light

remember how many beings you touched?
just through your fragrance and sight

remember the intimate connection?
you had with the buzzing bees

remember the joyful music?
dancing to the birds melodies

remember the day you were picked?
as a gift for an unsuspecting girl

remember how dearly she loved you?
placing you between her ear and a curl

peace is like a weightless waterfall
washing away each pebble of concern

it is flowing...always in the background
from the crashing waves one must discern

what is permanent...what doesn't come and go
that is where calmness is to be found

it's not a secret...it's not even hidden
just listen for the soundless sound

below the stream of thoughts
deeper than the heart's steady pulse

beyond all depth and yet so near
who distinguishes what's true and false?

resonance is relative to each individual
just like no two snowflakes are the same

the absolute burns away the personal
like a moth that flies into a flame

learning to surf the rising and falling
we're here to cultivate our soul's calling

to be a leader requires power and strength
we must be willing to go any length

with the supreme virtues our characters get built
like a grandmother who stitches a warming quilt

sifting the righteous clay from the sand and silt
innocence replacing any residue of guilt

what if you left behind
any idea of worse or better?

a fish will never find
any water that is wetter

there is no final judge
determining what's right or wrong

if you feel a little budge
then with that push go along

release control for awhile
relax into where life is flowing

it is fine to be docile
to have no clue where one is going

the current knows the way
trust in life's guidance

when you see it turns out okay
it helps boost your confidence

when you feel super serene
there is much that one can glean
just by hearing the tone of your voice

before any words are spoke
how laughter ripples from a joke
heart emanations reach us first

the message is contained
the silent one's entrained
to the original thought of free choice

there is nothing to battle
all waves the ocean can straddle
novelty creates an unquenchable thirst

my strategy towards life
is to keep it super simple

meeting all with open arms
embracing both the beauty and the pimple

we're not here to pick out flaws
but to discover that we are whole

what we deem as imperfections
were chosen carefully by our soul

that is the work we came for
to transfigure and make ourselves anew

when forgiveness is you staple
then karma will not accrue

the heart is our true home
not the theater inside our head

pay attention to the feelings
not the clumsy words that get said
