    An Earthly love

    As I wake from sleep
    and dreams, happiness
    and so much joy,
    simply that you exist
    my darling;
    as I stand,
    peace in my heart,
    and happiness, my love,
    my world is transformed
    and new.
    As sure as
    my heart and breath's rhythm,
    my soul deathless, my heart boundless,
    I am connected to the earth,
    connected to you.
    There is none for me but earth,
    and none for me but you.

    People are born soft and supple. Dead, they are stiff and hard.
    Plants are born tender and pliant. Dead, they are brittle and dry.
    Thus whomever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death.
    Whomever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. - Tao Te Ching

    love as transcendental and transformational — you said it so well you almost got me believing it.

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    well I wrote this just after waking.. and got it just as it was in my mind, which is lucky.

    Really appreciate your comment!

    My life's rhythm finally took me
    beyond the world;
    I cannot be but that I am, to say
    where I have been,
    what I have seen.

    My life's rhythm finally took me
    where I am;
    My heart's secret my lips will not breathe,
    but will stay where it is,
    what it is.

    Life's beauty is a dancing of particles,
    dancing of opposites.
    dark, light, unknown, knowing,
    finite, infinite,
    divine.

    My life's rhythm brought me to "I am."
    And where I am now, seems so far from "I am."
    But I know now, it is not far from "I am."
    In the final place, I have known that I am.
    In my resting place, I will know that I am.
    People are born soft and supple. Dead, they are stiff and hard.
    Plants are born tender and pliant. Dead, they are brittle and dry.
    Thus whomever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death.

    Sorry, my bad!

    She is the luckiest lass no matter who she is, I mean.


    For what it's worth, the older I grow, the more I believe--Art is the tree of life!

    Brave the new world!

    elder Native

    elder Native,
    I know not what to call you.
    you stand upon this hill,
    in the spirit's solitude.
    You have met the Great Spirit,
    and nature swirls about you.
    You emphasize the holiness of all life with your smile,
    and your grace,
    and you make joyful all who know you.
    There is peace and holiness in you,
    I cannot salute you,
    but the trees and branches in every sacred place salutes you.
    I do not know what to call you,
    but I remember you,
    and the Great Spirit.
    I am alone with you.
    People are born soft and supple. Dead, they are stiff and hard.
    Plants are born tender and pliant. Dead, they are brittle and dry.
    Thus whomever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death.
    Whomever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. - Tao Te Ching

    darling one

    divine soul,
    perfect one,
    Tathagata.

    This cloudy day is
    just too muddy
    for my mind.

    in a pool of clear water
    I seek reality.

    In my heart's core,
    Tathagata
    divine soul,
    darling one.
