LOVE’S INVITATION IS EVERYWHERE

We must never doubt the power of love as it moves through us and through our world. It is the fragrance of the garden. It holds everything, even in the suffering and division. It is beyond time. It is our true breath.
Thanks for reading.

Kavi

Become one who never forgets
Their eternal nature
Who who allows the waves to be as they are
And stays at peace
Even in the turbulence.

Love destroyed all falseness
And left me open and tender
No self left to defend

Slowly I adjusted to life
And learned to live fully
From this deepest place
In the world
But not of the world

The beloved is alive
Everywhere and always
What death is there
To be afraid of?

The lover lays down his ego
And bathes in surrender and humility
He gave up the idea of a world
Separate or outside him
And willingly, if painfully, yielded to life
In existence he saw the beloved
His true lover
And as he offered himself naked
So he was reborn as existence itself

You are a portal
Through which
The cosmic universe
Awakens and manifests.

Become a master of your inner world
But it does not happen by accident
It happens through endeavor and willingness
It happens through inquiry and humility
Through opening the heart when it feels closed
And meeting all the demons and ghosts
That have haunted us for years.

The greatest trick of all
Is the one that says
The world
Is something outside us.

Love’s invitation
Is everywhere
Stop wondering
Whether you are worthy
The invitation includes you
No need to wait any more.

Heart wide open
Mind empty as sky
Deep as the ocean
High as the heavens
No limit and no resistance
In grief, sorrow and suffering
In joy and delight
He danced
Knowing he was already home.

Be the facilitator
Not the doer
Realize that
The universe is intelligent.

Surf the phenomenal world
With great tenderness
And compassion
You and the world are one
And the way you treat it
Is the way you treat yourself.

WEAR YOUR WOUNDS WELL

Why hide what gives you your uniqueness?
The tree grows majestically
With its knots and gnarls
And you cannot tell what is wound
And what is beauty

Be unafraid of your cracks and wounds
They are your account of growth
Wear them with dignity and humble majesty.

THE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

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.

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.
