the heartmind's traveller

the soul
is never truly lost
as the real goods
are never really damaged,
the real relations
never truly broken,
and our real appointments
are in all ways forever kept

  -------------------

before giving
be forgiving
and so simply
be for giving

  --------------------

evolution spelled backwards
is actually four words:
no "it" (yo)u love;
it is no "it" that we love
who began us, loving...

  --------------------

this world is truth
swaddled in illusion
for it is always being born

to know and love this child
is to be a free man or woman
or child

   --------------------

let us R.I.D. ourselves:
Relax, Intuit, Do it

  ---------------------

God of our hearts
master within
speak unto self
wisdom begin

teach us to love
lovingly serve
being this breath
of the inifinite Word

  ---------------

bluebirds pause
sipping their own reflections
from an apparent azure sky

the bowl comes clean
so swiftly
when not left to harden

   ----------------

when we deny anything or anyone
we are denying what and who we are
together

the lover's understanding is to gather
only to give way to the lovers' understanding
which is the only heaven that can be
on this Earth

  ------------------

fewer roads, more trails
fewer words, less sales
larger minds, bigger hearts
more completion from the start

  -------------------
a spiritual economy

amongst the rise of hothouse flowers
the Fall
of humankind en masse
into chaotic teenage
or into re-birthing
for some that's all the rage,
but the truly new is ever now
and the newly true
is written on every page
for us to know and let go
and be the actor
as well the sage

it's our willing, humble imperfection
together
that alone will return us all to
a living, perfect wage

   -------------------

to love
and know we are loved
being bared of all parting desires
sets full sail our relation ships
with the vertical axis and friend
who first and last invites us all
to become this free-moving cross
whose compass rose now grows
horizons wide as the sky in possibility
and resolute as can be in feeling-purpose

our infinite source "above"
our fathomless ground "below"

do we dare let our spirit's response be?

the healing of time's shipwrecking sea
into beings' feeling transparent we

    --------------------

our truths without our God's love
expressed through truly touching
one another
doesn't mean a blessed thing

   ----------------------

lovers are the teachers to whom
all hearts aspire
tending the gift they are given;
gardeners whose earth is fire

growing the vine of trust
which marries all desire
into one who is Life eternal
transcending each birth and pyre

what then is left for us to fear?
except the little self-will that would
make both God and nature liars

only we can make ourselves feel small
denying the infinity that is our true sire

      ----------------------

the most vulnerable person is one who
believes he or she has no choice in life
but to pretend invulnerability

this person really asks our deepest love
and compassion
and no addition of anothers' punishment

     -------------------------

life may be set up so that each person's dream
is his and her's alone,
but the source of dreaming is by all sane estimate
unimaginably large and connected

if we surrender, not to one another, but to this
in-tuition
we can begin to know our differences not as threats,
but as true signs of Life

in modern situations which seem so life-threatening
and chaotic beyond most human memory and analogy
we can become more pratical than ever before
in accepting peace within and with our neighbors,
friends and enemies alike to see inviolate
this diamond-faceted face shining through
every mask and style of armor we all put-on

is our swaddling time at last in our past?

the relatively few brothers and sisters of our race
who've gained the maturity to see face-to-face

are They now calling on us to embrace?
even as we call on Them to give us God's grace
