When your parents are occupied..

when your children are sleeping or at play..

and when you're without anything pressing to do..

practice becoming one with God, with yourself.

Therein lies and therein you find your eternal and constant connection to the Divine.

When I grew up, I saw that, of my prayers, they traveled only to the walls surrounding me. I was not praying to anyone who could hear. So began the greatest lonely.

And so, in heartbreak, I grew silent. Indignant even of this new. I had rage for the thoughts of my beliefs, for everything I was told, for all the truths I didn't know.

In my silence, I was left alone with my thoughts. Oh, what a dangerous thing that could be. For, I knew there was nothing there. And then I saw there was nothing there..

Oh, I cried inside until my temples hurt--Until these fathoms could no more be contained. Then, I knew that I would still be okay if I cried out into the night again.

On the day that I began to speak again, I spoke out into the nothingness. And the walls, they disappeared! And my words, they traveled far into no ears.

I rejoice, on this day, to tell you that my voice did not return unto me void. It returned from the void that is beyond me. To fill my empty. In my belly. Complete.

Maybe my head really is in the clouds, and if it is, my body is left behind.

With all the floating numbness up here, I forget that my spine is misaligned. I forget my wounds and the abrasive surfaces of the skins of people and their minds.

Large, heavy bones made bare from muscles torn and loose

give creatures their turn to feast. This corporal thing is me.

With all the joyous dreams up here, there’s an ever-presence in my ears. Sometimes I wake to ask: What are those sounds? I hear my ragged bones dragging across the ground.

”Your life is insignificant,” says the fool, “because there’s an entire planet, a whole universe larger and greater than little you.”

Ha! Tell that to The Bee, and erase him here and now. We will see how quickly The Kingdoms of mighty Earth come crumbling down.

”Your life is insignificant,“ says the fool..

I am broken, and I'm

Without energy. I need

Something different

To go to...

Water falls from heaven

And the Earth is dampened.

I'm standing there with a blank stare...

And I...run, I run

And I...stumble, oh

And I...fall, I fall

And I crawl...

I am muddy, and it

Doesn't bother me. And I

Find a body

Of water up ahead.

As I near the water, I can

Feel the power, and I

Cry out, "Mother,

Can you help me?"

Then my body gives way; I am submerged.

With eyes wide open, I care not that I am of Earth.

And I drown and I breathe.. in and out.

Without pain, I surrender; I am sustained.

And the trees reach to the water to lend me their fragrant flowers and oils.

And the fires down below reach up to boil.

When I reach the bottom, the roots

Take hold of me, and the

Soil surrounds me

And buries me..

There in my tomb, in my

Earthly cocoon, there I

Incubate;

I am re-made.

And the water is no more; it is absorbed.

When the fire recedes, air hardens the soil.

Time to wake

The Earth quakes

I emerge...

Unlearned.

One of a kind Each has to share. Is it the same or different? Reach to the sky. Reach for the soil. Is it the same or different? Balanced Heart Mind. Seeking through prayer. Is it the same or different? One of a kind Each has to share..

I come with great love and understanding.

He said he would treat me like a Queen. I believed him, and I followed him. I waited until I understood that he would not take me AS his Queen.

“I do not understand you,” I said, and he remained as he was.

When he first found me, he told me that we would know each other. I believed him, I followed him, and I allowed him to know me in the most intimate way.

We knew each other. Together we discovered someone for whom we had tender love and passion for–someone for whom we had great respect for who they are and for who they have been. My heart is heavy.

I know this man. I’ve watched his eyes fill with water at the thought of turning me away. I found love in him, and he found love in me. And he would not let me go. I know this man, and so I know that he comes with love and the understanding that it comes with great difficulty for me from him to turn away..

“The eyes are windows to the soul.” Ever stopped to think that this is why there is love at first sight? Or wonder why you feel like you’ve known certain people your whole life?
Souls connect, and then they connect through the body.
This is why you can love a new person by staring into his eyes.
This is why you have known them your entire life..
