This Love

This Love 

is your most essential knowing.  

Allow it to meet everything 

on your path as Itself.  

This is living as you Are.    

What is Looking

Relinquish certainty. 

In every encounter, 

ask yourself 

"what is it I think 

I see here?" 

Then be willing 

to look directly 

at What is looking 

back at you.

Pema's Love Letters

Pema is finding love letters

Scattered in the most unexpected places;

Hidden just behind the sneer of the critic,

And in the stack of unpaid bills,

In the pool of moon glow on her bed,

And in the most blissful corner of her heart.

He leaves his letters

Everywhere in plain sight

Just in case

The Sacred Dance

Leaving the obligatory line dance 

I move now with the rhythm of the tides.

Larger patterns call me.

A heavenly kaleidoscope turns…revealing patterns within patterns,

All moving

All interconnected

All singing...

Om Namo Shivaya.

Freedom

Freedom is not about creating 
a new or better story;
it is about relinquishing 
story 
altogether,
in favor of 
What has always been 
Here.
