Forgotten Crosses

Will the flames consume us whole?

What is liberation?
What is freedom?
Are we striving towards
the ultimate in both?
Transcend body.
How? What path?

We are living in a time of lies and fear.

Doors opening and closing
We pass through and back
Yet what distances do we cross
I am here
I am here

Living with myself
Trying to be good
Trying to not fall into my own traps
Trying to not fall into despair
Reaching out
This world
Home and hell

The Human Need For Hate

Peace In These Modern Times

To walk the path is to live the path.

I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun
I have been waiting for the sun

Morning 11/10/17

Rested and awake yet

what do you think of?

What concerns you in

the earliest hours of day?

We can't escape the past recurring in our minds

from time to time. Failure and success, it haunts

us all the same. Old relationships and friendships,

intimate moments, public embarrassments, the 

specter of our own past lives. Speaking for my-

self, I'll get lost in thought as my mind wanders

through these times. At times I am overjoyed and

other times I am left in grief at what has come to

pass. The even hand of this life gives us all our

share of grief and joy. 

The silence between the notes is where the heart

of all music is. 

The inner journey will always find a way to express

itself outwardly. 

To awaken and feel gratitude

To feel the presence of a thousand small miracles

that make possible every moment

In a restless world 

find peace and stillness within

 

Power of Light / Power of Life

Power of Life / Power of Light 

How long must this eternity be?

i had to stop pretending to be
everything i've never been
everything gets old and outdated
even me even you

Bear & Wolf

The Bear & The Wolf

I don't need feathers to fly
or wings to flap

Modern Boredom
numbing me asleep

Lover whom I will never forget

Conscious thoughts given birth through
nailed digits This life of growth and decay
Your childhood left you stranded in this
strange place where all sights are familiar
and unrecognizable The path is revealed
and concealed at every step Let the mind
unfurl itself through an unclouded body

What is remembered

always lives on

Even this night will fade
Even this sun will rise

Why should a new age dawn
if we are not yet ready for a change?

Dawnbreaker

I'm hanging on until my fingers cannot grasp anymore

A better world starts with you.
A better world starts within.

Clarity can be attained but it must be held and built upon.

This struggle does not have to be forever.

Morning 5/8/17

The world falls apart
and begins again
and begins again
and again
again

Always be ready
for change
Change will be
Change is
Change

Remove unnecessary language
New thoughts from old words

We've come so far
Yet we must continue
Further still

Do your laundry
How much more normal
Can one be

Vision of the eternal
Glimpses through fleeting moments

Allowing oneself to feel again

Transcend these lives of petty worries

Recognize the journey
Allow yourself the freedom of honesty

Freedom from the unnecessary.

Learn to live in the essential truths of yourself.

Pastels gauzy and blending
into one another
Gentleness and softness
conveyed through color alone

Life exists within you
through all darkness.

I wake with your voice
in my ears
and fall in love
with the world
once more.

Thoughts from Morning Meditation

You who wish to dwell within hope and possibility.

To believe in more.

To see with our heart.

In our own way
we each feed
and grow from light.

Filling myself with the light of morning
I still my mind and feel essential vibrations

Peace. Chant. Peace. Om.

I am searching for the infinite light.

To be human is to seek.

Surrender the self.

See yourself as one part of a whole.
The whole is greater than any one of us can see.

Awaken to the possibility of how much
lies beneathe the surface of existence.

Finite self searching for the infinite self.

Still the mind and body.

To be closer to all of creation.

To create the better self through struggle.

To foster light and understanding in all creation.

How many miles to the sea?
How many miles until we are alone together?

Why do you wish to possess beauty?

We are but living dust.
