You are the picture god paints
The divine’s brush stroke
Brought into being
On the canvas of lifeWhat you do
Matters less than
Who you are
In your being

Love Is The Garden
Love is the breath of God
Its purpose is to fill the lungs and heart
With divine resonance
Love is the gift we are given
From infinite intelligence
It is our communion with the divine
While we are here in form
It is our connection, our memory of home
It is the garden
And the bridge between the worlds
Set love free from bondage friend
Let it fly and find it’s own way
Don’t trap it and lock it up
Open the doors and windows
And throw away the cage
And see what freedom arises
In your heart and soul
Don’t let your fragile ego
Claim love as its own
You are vaster than that, remember?

The Artist Saves The World
The artist reminds the world of beauty
Without beauty the world will die
Without love the artist will die
Without the artist everything will die
Show the artist show love
They are more important than the politician
Or the activist.

The Hidden Jewel
Come close and listen
Oh tender one
It is fine to be a jewel
That few see
Some flowers
Are hidden from view
Deep in the forest
Some diamonds
Are never discovered
Don’t polish your mirror
So you can be seen
Polish it so you can see.

The Artist Saves Humanity From A Dry Existence
The linearity of this level of consciousness
Preoccupied by past, present, future
By the rational, practical and ordered mind
By survival and shelter
Is so dry and barren
When left to it’s own devices
It is only salvaged by creativity
By the artist
The poet
The mystic
The wild one
Who goes beyond
Who stumbles into the unknown
Who goes beyond the limit
They bring meaning
Something extraordinary
They shine a light
Remind us of our mystery
Our fragility
Vulnerability
They show us our own soul
And our broken hearts
They cry for us and with us
The artist
The beautiful, crazy ones,
Fit for nothing reasonable
And mostly hopeless
At fitting into anything
Save us from
Rigidity
And the constant sameness
Of things
For god’s sake
Buy their stuff
Share it, rave about it
Love them, tell them you love them
You may be all they have
You may be what stands between them
And giving up
And if you are one of them
Know this
What you do is of value
It doesn’t matter who sees it
Who hears it
Who reads it
What matters is your soul
What matters is you do it
Just do it anyway
Give up on the reason why
Or the outcome
What you do matters
On levels of consciousness
Unseen and invisible
If you get reward on this plane
Great
If you don’t
Great
Do what you must
And do it with your brazen
Broken
Wounded
Wild
Crazy heart wide open.

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.

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.
