Nothing New

Thought. An energy that needs to express itself in some way. The answers are simple. Found with the basics. Being far away from that which is so close causes the mind to wander, to create complexities, complications. The solutions can be so simple, they seem too much so and are dismissed by an overactive logic. The mess we live in is our doing, inside and out. We are the makers of our reality. If only we understood the simple truths. If only we had the eyes to see. If only we could stop pretending. The formulae have already been discovered. How unnecessary and unnecessarily tangled we are. The profound is found in the simplicity. We are to re-learn what has been lost. It's a need if we are to become who are actually are.

The Road

Your vulnerability had me

Your longing kept me in chains

It's not that I agreed to support this

It's just I could not run away

As wise sounds rang in my ear

Believe what you know at the start

My tired and worn out bones

Looked for the light on the dark side of the track

Time keeps on rapidly running

The space between words becomes wide

I wish we all knew the road

To that which we so want to find

A Prayer

To live as an offering is a way to live the life of truth. And to live the life in truth.

When you are full, when you need nothing. When your life is no longer about you. 

Every act is about you and nothing but you and when you are everything, you become nothing. The paradox of life is that it's all about you until there is no more you. You disappear. Then everything else is. You build yourself up just to become smaller. In this disappearance, simplicity appears. Freedom is that much closer. 

To be available. For the grace to enter and spread its will through the tiny hands of life's servant.

Let that be the one and only prayer.

So Close

Earth, one of the five elements, and all other elements are "on" when you're outdoors

Working with one's body in a truly physical way settles the mind and raises life energy

From there, meditation, stillness and yoga arise naturally

Joy follows suit

We have lost the basics, the fundamentals of what makes our lives stable

We are so far away from truth, and yet, the truth is so close

An Impact

And I see your name

As my heart jumps up

The fight and the flight

Fueled by the past

Still the cells remember

The punches of the fright

I am still to master

The matters of my life

And I want some answers

To draw an erased line

In disappearing waiting

Needing to arrive
