THE FRAGRANCE OF BEING

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn Awakening, Divine, Existentialism, Freedom, Healing, Love, Nonduality, poetry, SpiritualityLeave a comment

Here is another selection of poems from this week’s outpouring. I hope they speak to you. There are many more and I am truly realizing that I must find a way to get them in book form. That will become my mission for 2023. I have also declared I will do a kind of poetry and music album and that is also being lined up for next year.

The tough thing is that this teaching with Amoda takes up time, there are so many behind the scenes and technical, administrative tasks, let alone the new 501c we have just set up! It’s a busy life, this (relatively) new life in USA. We are at growth point.

Anyway back to the poems.

Thanks for reading!

———————————————————–

Whatever it is within your heart
That longs to burst forth
Cherish it and nurture it

Don’t let the flame
Be dampened by any negativity
Yours or others

There is a garden inside each being
Don’t let it become barren
A simple turning towards it
Again and again
Is enough

If you have caught
The fragrance of love
In the air
You must serve that love
Be bold and unashamed
True and open
Aware and awake
Humble and ordinary
Wrathful and peaceful

There is no one else for the task
It is your time
You are the chosen one.

The lightness of being
Is a delicate fragrance
Unencumbered by the past

Throw away time’s demands
And remember the innocence
Of your true nature

This beauty is latent within all beings
But only those willing to remove their armor
Can know its light.

Allow yourself
To feel so deeply
The world pours in
And is resurrected
Into love.

Be beautiful for no reason
Shine because it is
Inherent in your nature
You are the sun
And the moon
Believing yourself
To be the clouds.

Master discomfort
Not by doing anything
But by falling deeper into being.

Real love cannot be cultivated
It can only be revealed
For it is the very heart of us
The core, the essence,
But we have completely
Overlooked our essence
In favor of our appearance.

When the fight with life is over
All that is left is loving what is

From that moment on
All you can do is love it all
Including your experience and the world
However it shows up

But first we must end the fight with life.

Transcend culture
Without rebellion
Leave your ancestry
Without rejecting its influence
Go beyond
All definitions of yourself
And find peace in not knowing
Who you really are
What beauty there is
Within the one who is simply here.

You are the doorway
Through which love
Can arrive in the world.

Thanks for reading.

LET ME DROWN

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn Awakening, Divine, Existentialism, Freedom, Healing, Love, Nonduality, poetry, Spirituality2 Comments

Today I am in love
With grief and sorrow
Don’t try and pull me away
Or cheer me up
There is nothing wrong

Let me drown a while
In this vast ocean
I will die ten thousand times
And feel the wave
Of suffering
And my own helplessness

It will be terrible
And beautiful
And, like all things,
Will pass in its own time
I am not the author of any of this
But I surrender into it.

THE LUMINOSITY OF BEING

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn Awakening, Divine, Ecstatic Poetry, Freedom, Healing, Love, Nonduality, poetry, Spirituality, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Here is another small collection of my various outpourings this week.

This week’s poems are dedicated to a beautiful man I worked with recently who I have just learned has passed away. The last words I heard from him said,’ Thank you for your friendship. I’m sure we will remain friends forever.’

I’m sure we will remain friends forever – yes Peter, beyond time’s knowing.

Down here
In the depths
Feeling everything
Holding onto nothing.

If you could see
The luminosity of your being
You would cease all your hostilities
Put down all destructive weapons
And instantly love all things
Beyond measure

It is only our blindness
To the truth
That keeps us at war.

When you let go of trying to control everything
A door opens into a vast new realm
And you are invited to trust life
And not fear it.

It’s the dance of the mystic
In the ordinariness of life
That delights me
The mystic untethered
Shines a light
On the darkness
Nudging those
Who have sought refuge
In the temporary
To remember
The ineffable mystery
Of existence.

Let us meet
Beyond our opinions or beliefs
Somewhere down in the deepest
As two naked beings
Raw and real
Living in the mystery
We call life
Prior to all this cover up
Of the self

We will call it
A meeting of souls
Celebrating the unknown.

You can’t find a place
You didn’t leave
You can only realize
You never left it.

Stop hiding your sacred light
Pretending you are unworthy of it
You are not unworthy of this glory
It’s what you are here for
And all this doubt is just a delaying
Of the inevitable.

Fall in love so deeply
With your existence
That everything
Melts into you.

Come to no conclusion
But walk with presence
In the unknown
Mind wide open
Heart as vast as the sky
You and the world
Become one thing.

Friend, you must fly into the sun
So the light burns off
Lifetimes of guilt and shame
If you really want what is true
You must stand naked and unashamed
Innocent and tender
Before the world
Only this humility will open the door
To love’s deepest truths.

I’m sure we will all be friends forever.
Love has no enemies.

Thank you for reading the words of my heart and soul.

UNCOVER YOUR SELF

You never stopped being your essential self
It just became covered over with layers
Of erroneous beliefs and conditioned ways
Hidden under the weight of trying to be a someone
And now the journey calls you to remove all those layers
And remember the essence.
