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 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.

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.

Right Thinking

Right Thinking Can your thinking ever be right? Can a thought be true? Or … Is truth beyond any thought? Is there something deeper than thought? Truth is the ether of now. Truth unfolds moment by moment. Tat Sat. No matter, your thoughts. Truth continues to exist Only now, independent of our thought Independent of our desire. What is, is inevitable. Tat Sat. Freedom lies in total surrender to now. Our only freedom is Fully accepting this reality Unfolding now. It is what it is. Shams says, “Take... Sign in to see full entry.

Killing Us Softly

Killing Us Softly There is a strand of RNA That wants to live a life. It needs a living host To pull this off. My friends, we have apparently volunteered. It is Love that calls us to remember, And to this Love, surrender. Fear not that which can kill the body, Rather, fear the fear that kills the soul. We did not come here To rest upon our laurels. We came to love, serve, and remember. To love and serve Love’s purpose; To remember who we are And Whose we are; This is our only reason to show up... Sign in to see full entry.

Last Breath

Last Breath Oh Dearly Beloved, Come rest in my embrace. I must share My Last Will and Testament. This Regal Virus Reminds us, “Live like you do not know If this be your last breath.” It may be! I have a friend Who dropped dead While walking on a wooded path With a dear friend. They were walking in Bliss As they returned from A Heavenly, Musical Zikr. In an instant, A massive stroke Released him from the shackles Of body and blood. In his experience, He merely went from bliss to Bliss. Lean... Sign in to see full entry.

Smile
