An Invitation

 

The words may be pointers

 

Fingers motioning

 

Directing the eyes

 

Back to the moon

 

On a winters night

 

In February

 

 

 

Here is an invitation

 

To take one small step

 

Into That

 

 

 

Let the unknowning be your guide

 

Back to the land that birthed you

 

 

Then

 

 

A symphony of strings all rejoice

 

From an unknown source

 

Somewhere in the void

 

Behind the clouds

 

That the sun has chosen

 

To poke through

 

With amber fingers of light

 

That sweetly caress

 

The mountain pines

 

 

Reach out

 

Be taken by the hand

 

Gently reminded how to whirl

 

Like the dervish

 

Caught in the mountain creek current

 

Of living water

 

Spinning eternally

 

In the heart wheel of God

Silent Illumination of the Mind – Seeing with Naked Awareness

  On July 4 th, 2025, I sat down in the evening to do my meditation practice. Typically, I would settle into my heart center, feel the divine presence there, and repeat the name of “Rama”. This was my most recent configuration of ‘meditation practice’ up until now: feeling into the central channel, bringing awareness into the heart, and feeling into the place where I felt divinity spring forth from within. This would often bring about a deep feeling of peace and bliss in my being, but there was still an element of seeking involved. I was seeking union with the divine and I desired the state of bliss that I had experienced so many times in the past. I wanted that bliss and nothing else. If I did my practice and did not land in the ecstatic realms of bliss I would often become disappointed. But this all changed on the evening of July 4 th . When I sat down that night I immediately knew something was different. There was no impetus or pull to do any practice. To my surprise I found ...

When sky opens blue

 When the sky opens blue, no other than Self. Just as plain as any ordinary day, every day as ordinary Self, no expression other than this, self-expression of the hum of being. What a Friend! this no-self Self, this Nothing, the best friend I’ve ever had.   The great Friend, is never far, in fact, always right here, closer than the phone in my pocket, closer than breath, closer than the blood that moves through veins, closer than the marrow of bone, more accessible than any thought or idea. Just laughter and dancing, these songs of Dharma. Nothing to put a put a finger on, no finger, Self alone. Don’t say it shines radiantly, don’t say it radiates anything at all. Nothing to distinguish it. The undistinguished one. One, only this. Nothing to contrast It. No light and no shadow. A floating dream arrives Nowhere, dissolves into Nothing. Seen through and No desires whatsoever. The sense world is burning, full of the fires of lust, anger, greed. This is maya, delusion. Seen throug...

Dried Up Branch of Birch on the Forest Floor

Love is a wasted flower field after harvest, blistering in the autumn wind. Winter brings dreams and visions of what’s to come. Storm clouds born in the deep hibernation sleep of winter longing for spring. There is magic in what takes birth through longing. Tell me how else would you explain it?    Deep in your heart the longing for union goes on burning and burning. The lover burns with longing for the Beloved. Fall deep into the aching cry of your own heart fire. Let the darkness in the chasm of your being swallow you up completely. How many eons have you let this burning in your heart go unrequited? How many lives has the mind cheated you out of your own birthright?    Quietly take your seat in the great fire of your own Being. Become the ash and unfurl with the smoke. All that is you. Then you can laugh and cry with Hafiz and Rumi. Become the annihilation of a galaxy swallowed up by the gravity of a black hole. Does it become anything less, or more, in its annihi...
