Safe in Mother’s Arms

Safe in Mother’s Arms In a womb of loving compassion And bountiful Mercy, You were conceived. You chose to be here, this time. You are safe, Here in Mother’s Loving arms. The Angels danced in Praise of The Creator When you were born. Christ within you, Never stopped singing Your hope-filled song. Becoming is a journey taken, Confident, that All will join in singing. The word made flesh is fresh now. The song of Life continues on. Shams says, “You need no invitation; Just join in singing And make... Sign in to see full entry.

The Song

The Song Joy, unspeakable fills me. The mathematics is beyond phenomenal. The exquisite, harmonious balance of all Creation Plays on the breath. The voices of Life Join with my own, Every time I sing. Once Shams discovered this, He could not stop singing. Beloved, shut your eyes and listen. The harmony of the spheres is seducing you. Surrender and be filled With the same joy that fills me. Shams says, “Rejoice and sing out!” Sign in to see full entry.

There Is No This

There Is No This There is no this That can make you happy; No goal that will not die. Ah, Sweet Soulmate, You are not the answer, Lovely though you be. I, no longer play the dancer. The moment is enough. Your Presence is Divine. We’ll never find the answer. Is that Okay? Nothing to loose is Freedom, So is, nothing to gain. “I do not know.”, is Truth’s freedom. Shams says, “Listen to the abyss.” Sign in to see full entry.

This Is Not My Body

This Is Not My Body Creator breathes Life into this Temple We call the body. ***** “Be!” It is the only commandment carried on every breath. “Beware!”, Once you know this life-breath, You can never go back. Being is its own validation. ***** So fragile, this Gift. Miss one in-breath And it is over. Life follows the leaving-breath. Be ready. Learn to follow every breath so closely, That you are with it, Lest it fail to return. Shams says, “Take this breath like it’s your last.” Sign in to see full entry.

Conspiracy

Conspiracy Conspiracies are so seductive. They are easy to create. Salacious titillations, Draw our twisted interest. Let’s be honest, Sisters and Brothers, We are the ones who conceive these plots. We are the ones who feed them. ***** There is really only one conspiracy, And it is true. All Creation is the ever growing, Ever flowing Evolution Of Love’s yearning to express. So simple the plot, So delicate, the balance. Life thriving, Deep diving From Light to Light, the same. We are the ones we... Sign in to see full entry.

Feed My Sheep

Feed My Sheep Jesus asked, “Do you love me?” “Feed my sheep.” Who among us, Would turn away from our own dinner table, our own children? ***** We are the Human Tribe. None of our members Should go to bed hungry. No human child Is not our own. All demand our care. We have failed Our Tribal duty. Our shame is our disgrace. We call upon the powers Of the Four Directions. The time has come To unite as one. Did it take pandemic To shake us, ….. to wake us? To remind us, We are one? Fathers and...

Jesus Saves

Jesus Saves Saved from what? That is my rude question. The truth that I do not know, Has saved me from the prison of my mind. Not knowing is redemption from The torture of true believers, Nagging with their words. Dear friend and neighbor, far and near. Come close to hear my whisper, “In every generation, Jesus saves.” Sign in to see full entry.

Morning Light

Morning Light The Torah says that dawn begins The moment when One can see the outline of One’s hand at arm’s length. Dawn is a mystic time. The light is magical. Details of the surrounding world, Appear as pigments Brushed in subtle strokes Upon the blank canvass of the daily dawn. As light grows brighter, Thoughts spring up like new born sprouts. ***** So few of any consequence, So few connect to now or here. Oh auto-mind be silent, Let Silent Truth arise. Shams says, “The secrets of dawn’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Born with the Light

Born with the Light You came here from the Light. No need to cover its brilliance. The light can be hidden Only for so long. When you stop trying To Be someone, Your Light will burst forth. Then, all will see The Beauty you are. ***** Let the Beauty you Are, Be what you do. No longer, can you hide The bloom in the thorn. The fragrance of your Love To show importance, Is all you really need or have to show. Shams says, “Here is your diploma, You have graduated. Now grow!” Sign in to see full entry.

NEWS-Worthy

NEWS-Worthy We are the consumers of the NEWS. Why do we accept political drivel? Why have we never seen reports On things like Tesla inspired generators That can harvest energy anywhere By interacting with our Earth’s magnetic field? Why are inventor harassments and murders Left uncovered? Who is running this NEWS shit-show? Friends, we are getting what we pay for. Our hunger for the trivial and inane Drives the pursuit of the sensational. Why when 95% of the Earth’s population Hungers to just... Sign in to see full entry.

Twice Upon Eternity

Twice Upon Eternity Twice in a life, Comes a moment, Pregnate with the freedom to decide. The first moment May appear to be random. The truth: We chose it As we do every moment. ***** The second moment Preceeds one’s passing. This precious moment Is filled with Angelic singing, A hymn of “Welcome home!” ***** Because of our Cosmic Christ, We have a third moment to choose. In the pit of hell, Christ prevaileth. With your ticket Home. Shams says, “Drink a cup of Truth with me, Dear One.” Sign in to see full entry.

Do Not Piss Where You …

Do Not Piss Where You … Eat. Sleep. Cook. Relax. When the bladder fills, The need for relief arises. Sometimes, it manifests slowly, Offering plenty of time to decide Where and when. ***** Everyone know a moment When urgency dictates one’s relief. We are friends, All who share these words. We pledge to keep your secrets. When this moment Demands decision, We all understand. Shams says, “Relax, Dear Friend; This tavern serves only Love. Tip your glass,, drink hearty, Here there are no secrets, No... Sign in to see full entry.

Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time Once upon a time, The day began like any other day. The Sun smiled upon the whole earth. A child awoke, Alone in the forest. She smiled to be alive. Bolt-upright, she drew in a deep breath. Today was the day of her Translation into Womanhood. She had managed to survive Her vision quest, Four days and nights, In prayer, With no water or food. The Spirit had come, Offered a Vision, And kindled another light. In a sacred Medicine Wheel, She has danced and sung, Day and Night. From... Sign in to see full entry.

Be More

Be More From the moment of my birth, I was baptized in the message, “Be more!” I graduated 11th in a class of 435. In college, the be-more-bubble burst. Friends, this be-more-cult Is a slap in the Face of God. We are saying to The Almighty, “You could have done a better job.” We presume to make our puny selves, God. How presumptuous! Brother, Sister, Let it go. You are enough. You have always been enough. What a Prefect expression of Love! Shams says, “You are unrepeatable, Unrepeatable,... Sign in to see full entry.
