These Incredible Threads
Read MoreThese incredible Threads
In the Garment you Weave
Have been tangled in my Heart
Since the Begining of Time
Their color is Deep and Rich and Sincere;
Their intention is Good, Their disposition,
Fair and Gentle.
Intention
There is only one place where there are no disturbances. As long as I remain
Still in the center, peace will settle the ripples, creating a continued flow of balance.
Remaining steadfast to the strength that ever upholds me, I can relax, assured
Of my ability to maintain in clarity regardless of those energies not in alliance
Surrounded by Certainty
In photography contrast is important, light illuminating the focused sector,with perhaps the rest in varying degrees of shadow.
This understanding of light and dark, clarity and confusion, illustrates that not only do both occupy our space, but that we have choice which to give our attention to.
I can sit down to the inner practice that has been revealed, to those who have received this Knowledge, and in the beginning the likelihood of being distracted by thoughts is fairly standard.
However there comes a point where peace occupies the field and I am no longer thinking, for I have entered the state of feeling.
When this occurs you can rest, for you see that the barrage of your thoughts has nothing to do with reality, for eventually your ideas and concerns dissolve back into the ethers, and you are left simply breathing in beauty.

“This is how a living master opens the inner eye,
so when words are heard
they can be seen through a lens.â€Â
(Coleman Barks, The Soul of Rumi)
Is this conversation going on always, this remembrance,
whether I know it or not?
Sometimes I think of you and the phone rings.
Someone reminds me I can do some tangible thing for you.
You are form and not form.
Those who have seen you know this is possible.
Listening to you, the heart opens.
Eyes can’t stay dry but weep as if overflowing.
A full moon, a field of coloured water, cleansing, sparkled blessings.
Holi. Play.
No right words, but this quest for words,
to express the longing, fulfillment.
After the lens has been cleaned,
the eye has been opened,
why do I search in darkness for a switch?
Diamond Dust
The fact of the diamond
seperates the jeweller
from the junk-man
for the return of pennies
the other collects diamonds
for the return of life itself
at a price unmentionable
Know that piece of cut glass
you find in your heart
is not the broken
bottle of life
It is the engagment ring
of the eternal lover
