Be Silent ~ Be True ~ Just Be Vestiges of a manifest self,      Long forgotten, Writes words      Better left           Unsaid. Some truths are better left untold,      Or risk obscuring the true           That cannot be told. True is an act of being      Not telling. So I remind the vestigial self,      ”Be silent.” Be silent      Be true [...]

Be Mindful Be mindful of what you think;      your thoughts will be spoken. Be mindful of what you speak;      your words become action. Be mindful of what you do;      your deeds reveal your character. Be mindful of who you are      and discover the fate you have created. ~ paraphrased from a lesson learned. Had I [...]

Voices Intuition is not critical. Critical is the mind’s voice. The master understands The origin of every voice; Its intentions, Desires; Its weakness And strength. In most of us there is a conflict of voices. In many a cacophony. In some a war. Between the master’s voices There is peace, Understanding, Loving kindness, Cooperation and [...]

A few friends of mine and I were having a rough go of it. Love, work, friends and family — circumstances — all these and more seemed to be making every effort to diminish us. The wisdom of loving brilliance When your wisdom is lost on the fool,      Do not become one to ease his [...]

This poem began with just the first line and the idea that being a spiritual being comes down to ‘bridging the gaps’ between body, mind and soul. As three became one, One grew into a paean to the ongoing global spiritual awakening.

Some random thoughts on truth and being true… I no longer put much stock in "the truth". That phrase predisposes us to notions of an objective reality (one that exists without imagination , one that is permanent, unchanging, eternal. Truth is a fiction established as fact through reason. On the other hand, i put all [...]

Glad you understood and appreciate The Butterfly , Peter. I found this today on the 11:11 site, perhaps its timing is as pertinent THE PATH OF EMERGENCY If we continue walking on the crumbling road of duality, we will experience a continual state of emergency. If we are still working at a job we hate, [...]

by Kazantzakis from Zorba the Greek I remember one morning when I discovered a cocoon in the back of a tree just as a butterfly was making a hole in its case and preparing to come out. I waited awhile, but it was too long appearing and I was impatient. I bent over it and [...]

A rumination on Steely Dan’s "Green Book". (Lyrics ) A fantasy — the Green Book — a tome of loves had, and loves lost, and loves never known — and from them a conglomerate, a creation of iconic love, Marilyn 4.0…a vision of nostalgia that never was, before him, there, all Kiss Me Deadly. My [...]

Here’s something for "Perfection ", Peter. It’s a superbly spiritual passage from Mark Helprin, a writer whose fiction I love, though whose politics I loathe.  Life hands out challenges like that, doesn’t it? Beauty is found in the most unusual places. Had I known his politics before having read most of his books, I might [...]
