I Bow to the Mystery

I bow to the Mystery 

That lies within 

And around me.

I bow to this Call 

That cannot be denied,

Even as I often find myself

Walking in the wilderness

Of the Unknown.

I bow to this “Yes!” that 

Answers the Call, and

Knows Itself 

As the way 

Home.

Beyond Categories

Being present to what is Here.

Softening,

Allowing,

Opening;

Seeing and feeling it all fully.

No longer moving toward,  or away-from,

All categories

That were holding it it in place…

Dissolve,

Revealing

The luminous and spacious

Ground of all Existence.

Return to Wholeness

 

My Beloved

Reveals

Himself...

Slowly.

Gently.

With each inhalation,

He invites me

To ride this wave of ecstasy

Back to Its Source...

Then to linger for a moment

In Silence,

Before riding exhalation

slowly, effortlessly, back

Out into Infinity.

Each Inhalation… Immersion

Every Exhalation… Dissolution, Emptiness

Each breath an invitation

To join Him in

This eternal dance

Of revelation.

Om purnam-adah purnam-idam



Purnaat purnam-udachyate



Purnasya purnam-aadaaya



Purnameva-a va shishyate

Sat Guru

I have always been here.

Breathing as you.

Laughing as you.

Crying as you.

Dancing as you.

Shouting as you.

Grieving as you.

Meditating as you.

Being unholy as you.

Singing as you.

Losing the way as you.

Getting found as you.

There is no need to make a special pilgrimage

To the Holy of Holies.

Just leave your shoes

At the door of your Heart.

I am here

Closer than breathing,

Nearer than hands and feet.

Om Namah Shivaya

Beloved Reflection

His glance,

His touch,

His laughter,

Reveal the fathomless depths

Of my Heart,

In the arms of my Beloved,

The infinite universe is revealed

Within me,

And I am Home.
