You Are the Source

Part III
I know it
I have been there to
Being lost and homeless
The way back …, back to where?

Or, for that matter despite
What the GPS locator says
Where exactly
            Is here?

For a moment
Consider this—
            It is not possible to
            Become lost or separated
            From a place we never left

This place we all search for
A place we can call home
Has never left us
It moves as we move
Indeed it travels with us

            Always

So …, back to our sitting

Breathe freely
Choose to allow yourself
            This simple pleasure
                                                            Just                              Breathe

For a moment or two
Allow it further
For a few more seconds

Just a reminder:
Remember to breathe in …, and …, out
(Sometimes we forget the simple things)
Allow it further
Expand to a comfortable few minutes
            Each day
                                    In                                 out
            Just                                                                  Breathe

For someone special

The song of your voice echos in my heart, each time I say your name. I see two elder tress. Over time we have grown close together, each in our own different part of the Great forest. The leaves and the tiniest of our branches have discovered each other. It will take time for our branches to fully intertwine. I want to savor and enjoy each moment of that with, YOU!

My Place

Naked             I like rain. There is sublime joy from walking in it. Unique is the passion play between warm, fragrant earth as it opens to receive the powerful spring rainstorm. To me it sounds like homemade Fajitas with peppers, onions and fresh spices sizzling in a cast iron frying pan. There is however, a particular kind rain at the Oregon coast, specifically in Newport Oregon, when wind and rain combine, such that, within a half a mile of the coast that it will rain in a curious sideways fashion. As if the world had been tilted ninety degrees. This horizontal rain has its own beauty, but after three straight days of it, I too was ready for some change. It was, after all, the second week of June. Nearly summer. I was jittery. Jumpy. Though not a coffee drinker, which I know in Oregon, is just plain wrong, but nevertheless, it was like I was on my fifth double mochaccino. Whatever that is. I needed to get out of the hous...

Metric or Imperial Poem version

Metric or Imperial It is those experiences with the infinite, those divine moments that continue to bless us and the world around us. Any attempt to contain them or make our experience of the Divine or that of another conform to some predetermined standard only diminishes the blessed gift we receive and our ability to share that gift with others. The Divine experience is neither imperial or metric. Does it really make sense to try and measure something that is infinite? Our appreciation and experience of beauty and love is not improved by the search for dividers that mark out the points of beauty, the yardstick that calculates compassion, or the measured flask that dispenses the correct amount of love. There is no protractor precise enough or tape measure long enough to describe all the Divine and Infinite beauty that surrounds us, flows through us and fills us with each breath we take. Together, let us rejoice in this.
