I’m for the nobody The outsider The misfit Who may be the mystic The one who sits in the shadows The quiet one The one who hides Their face in the crowd I’m for the broken-hearted Full of sorrow Still drinking From the well of life People I’m for those ones.
Eventually fate arrives At every door With the same invitation To return home Until then We must live boldly Tenderly, authentically Wisely and freely We must dance with tears in our eyes And the beauty of life In our blazing hearts Tasting the sweetness Even as it vanishes into emptiness.
What does this moment have to teach us We who are so full of ourselves Who arrive everywhere filled to the brim The moment can only teach those who are empty
If we are full where is the room for anything new?
The wisdom and intelligence of this moment Cannot compete with the fullness of self It’s a different kind of intelligence It can only be heard from emptiness
And so to really hear, to really be able To receive the deepest wisdom this moment Has to offer us, in its vastness and eternal depth We must enter this moment naked and empty
The moment has everything to teach us But our task must be the seemingly arduous one Of emptying and not filling up again.
—————-
To be available For divine intelligence To flow into us and through us We must become empty And silent.
We are dancing in an endless ocean of love Swimming with the beautiful ones Unlocking the door to eternity Feeling the breath of the ecstatic wind Catching a glimpse of the sun As it pours out its light For the lovers of the world
It’s like a riddle Made only for you You have to work it out No one can do it for you Others may point Inform and guide But only when truth Falls into you Into your belly Into your heart Into your blood and bones Will it make any sense
The journey is deep And the challenges many Emotions run hot Beliefs become entrenched The path of understanding Draws us inexorably But only when truth Falls into you Into your belly Into your heart Into your blood and bones Will it make any sense
We are perfectly imperfect Hurt and fragile Indomitable and courageous Tossed by the ocean Thrown upon the shore Desperate to make comprehend Yet terrified of our darkness But only when truth Falls into you Into your belly Into your heart Into your blood and bones Will it make any sense.
