From my Archive

A Seed of God Grows into God To everyone of us there must come a time when the whole universe will be found to have been a dream, when we find the soul is infinitely better than the surroundings. It is only a question of time, and time is nothing in the infinite. -Sai Baba Just a twinkle from your eyes, But, it contained a light, Royal and profound. You must stop hiding soon. Shams says, "Unholy thoughts: Judgment, Worry, Anger, Fear. They will come, unbidden; They cannot touch you Unless you... Sign in to see full entry.

False Conspiracy

False Conspiracy A falsehood of certaindinity,* On fear, it’s foundation, built; This is my definition of False conspiracies. “Only what is Real exists. Nothing Real can be threatened. Herein, lies The Peace of God.” – ACIM (A Course in Miracles) Discerning the Real is important. Calling out the counterfeit, Just as important. Jesus warned about leading the innocent Down a garden path. “Woe to those who lead the innocent astray,” Jesus told his beloved church Through the submitted heart of Paul....

Letting Go, Letting God

Letting Go, Letting God It’s a paradox: Utter dependence and surrender to The Divine, Verses Mastery, being the captain of our souls. These two seemingly divergent paths Are reconciled easily, But only in the deep silence Of the eternal now. It is a Mystery known by mystics everywhere. It is a Mastery sought by the heart of every human soul. It is caught, not taught. “Oh Beloved, Divine Creator, How I hunger for Thy Presence! Burning, Yearning; Keep this hunger alive in me! Let me Know Thee in... Sign in to see full entry.

When Racism Ends

When Racism Ends When, not if… Sooner, not later … When we all realize and manifest Our common humanity, On that day, we shall all be free. On that day, the Earth, itself will rejoice. Many, there are, who claim Racism will never end completely. Shams says perhaps, but it is possible that One day a critical mass of realized beings Will cause an instant shift in consciousness. Our common Human race will then be all we know. A nuclear fusion of souls will bless all With the Truth of our Oneness.... Sign in to see full entry.

Pandemic Possibilities

Pandemic Possibilities For the first time in human history, A common threat, globally experienced Holds us all in its dis-eased grip. It has taken our ease away. No surprise, The dis-ease of our species psychosis, The dis-ease of our fevered planet Manifests in a novel virus. No surprise. So, what to do? Or, in this case, what not to do? Our world has been changed Forever. It is not all so awful. Nature is rejoicing; The Himalayas can be seen from India For the first time in fifties of years.... Sign in to see full entry.

Skybird Tree

Skybird Tree I looked into the Northwest sky. A Skybird sang in a tree to the Southwest. I lofted a smile on the out-breath. I think it is still floating there, Ready and able to surround the next frown. Tobacco is offered with a prayer. The breathe in, Lifts the heart, On every out breathing, Love flows freely. The prayer expresses the heart. The heart yearns to be reunited. Shams says, “I love to pray in this Way. “ Sign in to see full entry.

Morning Silhouettes

Morning Silhouettes There is a magic time As dawn unfolds its blanket of light, When the majestic trees emerge Silhouetted softly against the dawning sky. The wingeds have already been singing For an hour, In heart felt hope of another day. The mind quiet moments Of this magic flow, Grow in brightness and in colors, Verdantly Green. Life begins again And we are truly blessed. Shams says, “Pass these blessings on.” Sign in to see full entry.

Sermon to Mysel

Sermon to Myself I am the one Watching me, Loving me, Guiding me, Creating me. I swallowed the green pill. Now, my eyes observe only love. Friend, sit here next to me. I will not bite. I will do The only thing I know to do. I will love, accept, and bless you. No, I will not bite, But, I may kiss you On the forehead. I will see in you, Only the perfect expression Of Creator, God/dess. Shams says, “Welcome to my world.” Sign in to see full entry.

I Hear the Morning Birds

I Hear the Morning Birds Before dawn, the Birds begin Singing their hopeful songs. “Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun,” How do they know? Can they see The darkest hour? Does some internal clock Awaken them? Idle speculation, These thoughts at morning-tide. For truth be known, What matters Is faith in Sun’s return. Oh earthly chorus before the Dawn, I join in morning’s joy. This daily celebration, A new day dawns with Pregnant possibilities. Shams says, “All hail Earth’s Faithful turning And...

Powerful Addiction

From my newly published poetry book, The Breeze at Dawn, now available on Amazon. Powerful Addiction Underneath our calm pretense, A cauldron of anxiety simmers. We were born condemned By the very humanity that defines us. Like denizens of Plato’s cave, We are mesmerized by the shadows Playing on the wall. Our dilemma is this: We are at once, the most noble of creatures, And, capable of the most heinous atrocities. Why? Highest love and basest hate Define our species. Hero’s, Dupes, or Villians;...

Surrogate

Surrogate I have stepped up in quiet boldness To continue the teachings and practices Of my Murshid. In his light, His holy presence, I speak his Truth. Take this breath Like it’s your last. It like tomorrow Begins Holy fast. Kiss your mother As your holy guide. Step beyond your father’s garden To the garden prepared for you. “ rejoice and rest there,” Spirit whispers from within. I listened and obeyed, And lo, from beyond the grave, I heard my Murshid speak; Not in words But bubbles from the... Sign in to see full entry.
