Solitude’s Presence
Alone with the Divine Space
A Tone Sung within your Bones

The Silence of Being
Within Sacred Space Embracing you
Suspended within an All Encompassing Heart

In the Snow Fall of a Windows Solitude
A Rhythmic pattern Felt
The Illumination of a snowflake’s past

The Sacred Time of Solitude’s Presence
Soundless Moments of Endless Space
Beyond the Temporal Scenes of Mind

A Fallen Leaf’s Trailing Path
A Presence Open Divine

A Swayed Space of a Branch
A Tone having Sounded into a Presence

The Trace of a Rain Drop
To A Circle’s Concentric Wave

The Space of Holy Breath let out
The Vanquished Cloud in an Endless Blue

Simple Extracts of Experience
Opens Beyond the Ordinary Walls
Becoming a Sanctuary of Sacred Presence

Full Moon Blessing

As Earth’s wounds glow into the Night
The Trail of Beauty
Holds the Pain that Breathes into your Skin
As you Rest on the Sea of Unknowing

Upon Moon’s subtle Sea
Healing flows
Rise in your Heart’s Tears
In the Beginning Growing Effulgent Decline

The Moon’s Holy Prayer
Blends with the Heart of Origin
And the Vast Inner Moon
That Illuminates All Being

Follow the Light of the Moon’s Prayer
Within the Burning of the Sacred Ground
And Blend with the Aware Stars
To Heal with Waves of Light

The Wonder and Blessings
Of the Full Moon and Light’s Eternal Poem

Who will Walk in the Rhythm’s Beauty
To Live in Patience of a Solitude in Union
And Allow your Wings to Burn
And the Walls to Fall Away
To Be within the View of Spacial Being

In the Coming Days that Cry Tears of Blood
Even as you Grieve the Fall
Walk the Bridge from Ordinary Perception
To the Heart of Origin
The Transcendence of Great Love

For within Origin’s Heart Beats the Prayer
The Offering
The Sacrifice
Where Rainbow’s Circle Arises
Singing a Spherical Tone of Being

Spiritual Bridge of Transcendent Light and Space
The Extraordinary Path lost among the Blind
That Links the Flow of Original Heart
Revealing a Relational Openness
And a Living Sacred Vision

Within a Radiant Becoming
A Pulse of Intuitive Knowing
Allowing the Vision to Burn your very Being to Ash
Letting Go into the Guidance of Color
To Become an Echo in the Wind

I

To Walk in Beauty
As Mystic’s Breathe
Is to See from the Heart
To Lead a Creative Intuitive Life
Following Tracks in the Snow to Origin’s Heart
In a Movement and a Dance within Letting Go

To Listen to the Earth Speak
Calling in their Hearts
With a Burning Desire
To Blend the Aware Perception
Breathing within the Breath of All
To Free Float in Mother’s Grace

II

Be the Breeze in the drying Leaves of Fall
The Demand of a Cicada Calling in Summer
The Sound of a dry Snow Fall
The Melodious Call of a Meadow Lark
Or the Silence Alone in the Desert Wind

Move with the Flow of the Mother
Walk in the Way of the Fox
Listen with the Ear of the Owl
Be the Movement of Water
And ‘See’ the Lucidity of Heart Light

The Mystic Floating within the Rhythm
Seeing through Origin’s Eyes
Being the Stream of Joy Calling
And Let it All Go
Within the Flowing Intent of All

A Solstice Poem

Singing a Song of Morning Light

The Ancient Holy One’s followed their Hearts
Like a Leaf turning toward the Light of the Morning Sun
The Singing Waves within the Field of Liquid Light
Whose Journey carries the Vale of Unbounded Depth

The Plant People Sing with the Light
Within their Leaves and Roots
Blending the Nurturing Earth
In the Primordial Waters of Light’s Blessings

The Plant People’s Singing their Joy
The Moment when the Sun and the Sprout Meet
An Active Presence of Joy
Shines within each Blade of Grass

The Seed of Light Sings
A Divine Thread throughout the Universe
A Reflection of Pure Teachings within this Living Vision
A Reflection of utter Beauty in your Heart

There is a Sacred Demand in Morning Light
Dedicated to an Unencumbered Soul of Flowering Light
The Seed of Joy that Waits
For the Divine Intent Responds through All Existence

Live within the Sacred Song of Morning Light
Pray for Our Earth Mother to Breathe Freely Again
Pray to keep the Vibrance of Sacred Light
Ringing through Our Mother’s Sphere

To Be the Prayer for All Being
Is to Return to the Living world of Our Mother
Released from the Walls
To Fluidly Respond within this Vision

Awash in the Depth of Origin’s Expanse
You Pray within the Primordial Intent
A Living Wholeness
That Sings the Song of Morning Light

The Desert The Aloneness
To Hear the Voice of Origin
To be Blind To be Deaf To be Alone
To Cry Tears of Dust
And Breathe Not
With a Voice that has Ceased
As the days turn into Memories Forgotten
Lost in their Remembrance
And then to Hear the Calling
That is Silent
To Feel the Presence of All
That is Unknowable
And Breathe in the Holy Wonder
That is Mist in the Sun
To Step past the Solitude
And Become the Aloneness
As a Breath of Wind
And the Silent Voice of Origin
Wafting in the Desert Breeze

Stream of Snowmelt
Flowing Tears of Being

Dotted in brilliant Stars of the Sun
And the Face of Death Shimmering

Brilliant Flares of Awareness
Of the Teacher’s Blessings

Calling to Let go
Of the Past and a Place to Go

Realizing Death as the Shimmering Flow
And Origin’s Whisper

To Disengage from the Ordinary Mind
And Learn the Opening to Death’s teachings

The Brilliant Passage from Being
With no where to go among the Leaves

With Aware Knowing of the Teacher
Comes the Circle

Where every Breath Shines
As a Spectrum upon the Stream

Towards a Living Ongoing Vision
Becoming the Movement

Upon the Circle’s Stream
That Breathes Eternity

An individual’s spiritual life flowing in rhythm with the primordial intent is a blended existence in original heart. In this wholeness of being, teachings arise within a personal heart to heart connection like a crisp breeze in the space of one’s heart, a movement of knowing. This is the natural flow and play of life, allowing and opening with an initiating force.

This vibrant rhythm can be witnessed and experienced most clearly in the desert wilderness, laying bare the rhythm and hum of our Mother. Similarly, the desert of one’s heart is a stark open space stripped of boundaries with a fluid knowing. In the desert wilderness and the desert of your heart, you can learn to allow an embrace, wearing away the borders of our defined culture and tunnel vision perception. Behind all the conceptual elaborations, the titles
of authority, and the roles we play, lies the embrace of what naturally is, just as it is. It is a solitude of quiet, opening out like the sky after a storm, and so profound it is shocking the moment you first come to acknowledge it, leaving you open and aware, transcending your ordinary tunneled in perception. Go to the desert, go to the desert of one’s heart and return to the vibrancy and resonant force of radiance.

Entering the rhythm of this vision of life is where everything comes alive and sings, playing out the story of your personal journey. The whole experience of life is then charged with a living intent pulsing through the veins of your life, moving you, guiding you.

May Full Moon

“Being receptive is not being passive: it is an active willingness to relate with the radiance of the essence that is manifesting ceaselessly, outwardly and inwardly. It is a direct response from your heart, a direct involvement with the very fabric of our world, a blended acknowledgement. Responding is a relational empathic experience, participating with the call and response that is ongoing and fluid all around you, not a construct of the mind but a surrender of the mind’s control over the heart, a surrender that allows an open dance within your heart and the heart of all.”
