And in the end
The message was
To love it all
Not because you liked it
Or because it was easy
But because love
Is the fabric
Of the universe
And that is your nature.

Communion of Souls
There is a communion of souls
A place within where we meet
Where something deep is touched
Some essence beyond the reach of conditioned mind
When we meet in that sacred encounter
We may dare show our true face
A great trust will arise
Through our naked vulnerability
And love will manifest naturally
As our abiding state
We may never return
To the ordinary world
Of masks and cloaks
For we will have tasted life’s true beauty.
Divine Dance of Form
I have felt the sun rise
Inside my own body
Felt the waning moon
Weeping in my heart
I have had planets
And constellations
Of wild energy systems
Circulating up my spine
The whole universe
Has been inside me
And I have been
Inside the universe
But then something changed
And a new kind of peace arrived
Now I no longer know
Or care
Which is which
Or what is what
For all division
Between this and that
Between inside and outside
Between me and the vast
Has dissolved
There is only one thing
One intelligence
Emerging into form
As many
And disappearing
Back into itself
It is almost impossible
For the mind to grasp
But if you get just a hint
Of what I mean
It will be enough.

Intimacy – The Hidden Treasure
Intimacy is what happens
When the soul is laid bare
And received
With an open heart
It has nothing to do with sex
Intimacy is where
Openness meets itself
Beyond the walls of self protection
It is the ultimate display of rebellion
In a superficial world
But it has nothing to do with sex
To be intimate with anyone or anything
You have to be willing
To reveal your innermost
To explore your depths
And to hear without judgement
To be able to sit
In the complete unknown
Even as the fire might rage
Intimacy is being comfortable
In the discomfort
Of the unknown
Because this intimacy
Is where love lives
It is the secret treasure
Only the authentic explorer
Can discover.
Your Majestic Self
Lift up your heart
And show it to the SUN
Throw off the shackles
That have bound you
And blinded you
Truly you are MAJESTIC
But you have been told
You are small and powerless
Persuaded by fear
To play it safe
And fit right in
With all the others
But they are playing it small and safe
And are just as confused as you
You can feel it
Below all the conditioning
Underneath inherited beliefs
You can feel it
Your aliveness
Your raw power
Your freedom
Your radiance
You know it’s in there
But you’re scared
To unleash it
But friend it serves no one
To hide it
The whole point
Of the invitation of life
Is to be it
Come what may.
Let The Air In
Grace is all around you
In the details and experiences of your life
It may not be there
In the way you desire
And it may even feel
As though you are a victim of life
But if you keep the window open
Just a fraction
The healing wind of grace
Will surely blow in
And bring fresh air
To that airless room
Sooner or later
Grace will have its way.
Fall Into Grace
Though our time here is brief
And we are governed by the cruel hand
Of inevitability
It only takes a moment
A pause in the momentum of mind
To catch a glimpse of eternity
There, in the space between in breath
And out breath
Is the freedom we seek
There is a part of us
That is eternal
Call it soul, spirit or true nature
When we forget our essence
We feel so incredibly alone
And separate
Marooned
In time and space
Yet all it really takes
Is a simple stop
For us to open the door
And fall in to grace.
