The Field of Love





















I am the Field
On which the gods and goddesses play;
The sacred temple of Light
Hidden in the deeps of the heart.
I am the Mother sending her emissaries of Love
Into the dense fog of forgetfulness
I am the Father, eternal sky,
Always present.
I am the cat in the tall grass…
And the dew on the grass…
And the mouse who innocently
goes about her business.
Come, enter the Temple of This.
There is nothing that is not Me.
Come,come and dance.

Sacred Vessel






Empty 
Yourself
Of yourself.
Open,
And let 
The
Universe
Fill
You.

Chanting the Mystery



Dark of night
Owl in the pine tree
Chants his seed mantra
Hu Hu Hu Hu Huuuuu



The Land of Dreams


After falling through the rabbit hole
Into the Land of Dreams
You say you want to return Home.

And immediately you begin to imagine
All the ways you could return.

You could...
Find those magical red dream shoes, 
Build a dream ladder,
Fly a dream plane,
Hop on on a dream rocket ship.

And if you do, you will have
No shortage of adventures,
All designed to keep you ever more enchanted
With the dream.

After falling through the rabbit hole
Into the Land of light and dark
Of war and peace, and endless becoming,
You say you want to go Home.

But I tell you,
You don’t need to go anywhere.
Just be still.

The Ocean of This Love




Blessed Mother Divine
I melt in your sacredness.
Floating in this pool of nectar,
All boundaries disappear
And your Call, 
like a homing signal
pulls me deep into this Mystery.
Om Devi, Eternal One,
I am lost
In the Ocean of this Love.

Garland of Letters





Dancing by the fire
I hear the voices of the Ancients
Chanting sacred seed sounds;
Each one an illuminated prayer,
Each one carrying the Name of the One
Who lives inside my chest.

Pure Abandon





















The grasshopper knows how to celebrate!

While white clouds glide across a sky of sapphire blue
And golden leaves float gently to the ground;

As the earthen trail is warmed by afternoon sun,
These long legged pranksters
Abandon their grass houses, run wild into the streets, and…
Dance!

Leaping with great abandon
Sometimes sideways, almost backward,
They fling themselves through the sunlit silence that is
Laced with a gentle rat-a-tat-tat of a hidden sister winged thing,
Sharing purple flowers that sway in the gentle breeze,
With soft yellow butterflies and bees that look like fairies.

Everything here
Dancing.
Everything offering itself completely
To the Infinity
In this season of letting go
And letting come.
