for the love....

 

walking in a sacred manner: for the love

for love of the universe...of this world...of this life...of family...of her...of me.

I do it for life. I do it because i know who and what i am.

Because i do not just love myself.

I do it because when you can see and live in the pathway...

it becomes responsibility and duty to do the right thing.

Because in this world their right and wrong is wrong no matter what.

I do what i do because i love to be loved by everything...

the flowers, bees, the grasses and trees...

i love the wind and the rain...the way the sun warms my skin.

I love to know i am part of it all...making me whole!

I know that by simply being there is a chain reaction...

good medicine flowing in and out...to spread like wildfire...a cultural wildfire...

So in order for me to live...to simply be...the love has to flow...

the realization that we are connected to everything...my love grows.

Wow...a thousand times a day i become that which becomes my thoughts...

I am not man apart...i am man immersed, with respect and honor...

in place...in this sacred place. Nothing is object...stands alone...

when you see something you see everything...

the bee is nothing without the flower, without the soil,

without the rain, without the sun.

This is why i do what i do...

because everything is connected, everything is a deep basic natural truth.

My life falls in place...place knows me...there is reciprocity.

I know my blood belongs to everything...my love is everything.

There in the deepness of the natural community...

the spirit that moves thru all things...is the heart of all that is.

Thats why i live the way i do...loving everything at once,

all the time...open my heart in acceptance of what is.

I do it to stop the clearcuts, stop animal abuse, to stop mass enslavement,

stop the inhumanity...if i can do this within myself, then so can everyone else.

I know love doesnt imply pacifism...

i love life more than enough to defend and die for that which nurtures me.

I live in this world...with this world...I live in whats hapenning now.

Place is identity, i am everything this place is...i am everything every place is.

I live for the love of the universe, of this world, of my fellow beings,

the tribe...of her!.....

truth at its core II

 

This is the truth. Humanity is an animal,

born of this earth in the womb of this universe.

Forever being born into a living sacrament within the web of life.

To be equal, no more, no less. To live in a unique way,

 but that way forever to be lived,

immersed and embedded as just another subject

in the sacred web of being.

Humanity having been nourished thru this biological,

ecological, spiritual umbilical that is basic natural truth

as all other beings have done since the beginning of life itself.

From this way life has brought forth gorgeous manifestations of itself

and we see this thru all the diverse complex ways of being that surround us,

in and out. Everything lives, everything dies.

Nothing will stand outside these laws. Basic natural truth.

truth at its core

 


Truth is a wildfire, it consumes the void, melting away the shell of ego.

Truth is a tidal wave, crashing against the walls of denial,

washing away the soil that is untruth,

cleansing the spirit of the blackened hand.

Truth is an earthquake, swallowing the foundation of all evil.

Forever entombing the wicked ways of a human culture gone mad.

Truth is the hurricane battering down the illusions

that man thinketh makes him the ruler of the universe.

Truth is the tornado that spins the web into being by bringing death,

but also life.

Truth is the sunrise, the start of a new day full of the truth that so

permeates the universe, manifested in the hearts of all.

Truth is in the eyes of all that is life,

it is the reflection we see in its heart.

In death there is life and in life there is death.

basic natural truth.

SACRED PSYCHOLOGY

Anger is a mood,
an emotion .
Experience it and let it go.
Like a wave of the ocean,
it moves over the surface, breaks
and dissolves against the shore.
The ocean does not say,
"I am a wave."
The way of the ocean is expansive plenum
and not reduction. The ocean knows
that every ripple is in transition.

Love is a condition.
Love and the ocean are one.
Only a fool
tries to hold back a wave,
identifies with ripples,
ignores the stillness
behind ephemeral motion.
The fool does not know
the nature of nature
or the core of creation.

The one who says,
"I am anger," rather than saying,
"Anger passes through me,"
knows only the surface,
is propelled by illusions.

Such a person
is pushed and driven
by the waves of emotions,
but ignores the profundity
of the constant sea.

Love is a condition and is eternal.
It accepts all things in transition,
yet contains the depth
transcending reason.
Love and depth are one;
God and ocean coequal.
Two choices
lead to joy and inner peace:
The first is letting go,
the second is abiding.

Abide in love.
Then all things
of heaven and earth
pass through you
in their quest for blessing.
This is the power
behind myriad forces.
This the reality
beyond the rippling
play of illusion.

The ocean dissolves
the ego of the shipwrecked
and the "I" of the drowning.
Among the merfolk,
there is no distinction
between themselves
and the kingdom of love

YOUR MY REFUGE

 

Your my poem

my inspiration,

you fill my

day-dreams

with burning

desires.

 

In the stillness

of the night

I seek you out.

 

Your my refuge

in the storm,

the beat of my

heart.

 

Without you

I would not be.
