i’m back

 just here to say,

the process of writing,

and its associated beauty,

is back,

poetry, hopefully many,

will follow.

permanent satisfaction

nothing
in this world
can give you permanent satisfaction,
only accepting this fact
gives you permanent satisfaction.

ideal state

humans keep searching
for an ideal state
in thoughts, structures, patterns, tricks
only to realize
that it is not in any of those,
it's in silence.

9/25/19

looking

only
pain
looks
if pain
is still there,
don't look,
just be.

9/23/19

nature beckons

the natural world ---
the plants, the squirrel, the wind, the birds
are constantly telling you
that life is so much more
than just your puny little thought-world. 

allow

time to
allow,
whatever is happening,
wherever it is happening,
do, do, do to your full content.

from rm

all life
is the result
of the sun,
but would it
make sense
to hold the sun
responsible
for all life?

once you're in self

once you're in
self
there's no question
of nonacceptance
of what is.  

9/20/19

how to know

if you don't
push it
instead
seek stillness
you know
what to do
when to do. 

9/16/19

work and fulfilment

any work
can only bring
fulfilment
when there is
no compulsive need
to gain
to achieve
to become
to show. 

9/15/19

enemy

your ego
will make
enemy
out of anyone,
in fact,
the closer the other
in your vicinity,
the more the chances
of them becoming
enemy,
so it's really not
the other, that is the problem,
it's the ego. 

in the moment

it makes
no difference
what you do, where you are
if you are
not in the moment,
if you are not
in the moment,
suffering will indubitably ensue.

hate

if you
perceive
the other
in the same
light
you perceive
yourself
hate
does not arise. 

love

there's
love
in this
universe,
but there's
nothing emotional about it. 

9/12/19

clingy

there is
something in you
that is
clingy, sticky, pulling, blocking, breath-denying
and
there is
something in you
that is
free-flowing, liberating, joyous, alive.

abide in the free-flowing.

act

act,
act from
whatever level of
consciousness
you inhabit,
but act,
don't get stuck
in thoughts.
don't rev on neutral.

9/11/19

just be

don't force
yourself
to seek out
anything, including beauty.
just be. it's enough

source

wherever perception is
source is.
in the plants in front,
in the sky afar,
in the voice of K behind,
in the wind of the fan above,
in the appearance of the body,
in the appearance of the mother,
wherever perception falls
source is.
