where is your treasure?

where is your treasure?

your safety?

in the bank

or in You?

where is your Father?

your Source?

your Provider?

in the bank

or in You?

where is the eternal

the infinite

possibilities,

Life?

in the bank

or in You?

where is your faith placed?

in the bank

or in you?

where is love?

in things

in others

or in you?

where is God/Reality/Heaven?

faraway

in the future

or in You?

follow the simple directions...

all roads point to Home

all roads

point

to you

You,

the center of all that is

radiates outward

shining

the Star

of Truth

giving

giving

giving

no accident

glory is not a mistake

radiance is not an error

glory is strong

and bright

and beautiful

your radiant smile

is not

an error

it's not lucky

it's not something you can ever change

or that will ever end

it's not a misinterpretation

shining light is strong

luminous

it's only if you can't see it

it's only if you deny what is yours

that could possibly be

the mistake

is it one or is it two?

two strong candles

whose fire is the same

is this one

or is it two?

the same content

identical components

source

process

life

two strong candles

melt by the same fire

into one

next to you

in the flame

in the light

we both soften

bend

lose form

there is only the warmth

the only thing that ever dies

is the cold

the distance

the dark

coat of flesh

yes, i wear the coat of flesh

that reeks and vomits and blames and rages at what is

i've been a hypocrite

i own it all

who can deny he is human?

who can possibly claim he is more loving than another--

having hated less

and found nothing wanting?

only someone still scared to death of what is

of

complete honesty

truth

who wills but to turn from/avoid

the horrified mind

the insane confusion

dread

of anything

only here

can i finally be strong

i acknowledge

my mud

my confusion

it's simply a cloudy mind

and from here

no longer avoiding anything...

Clarity

dawns

dripping

ripe

juicy

the ruby red grapefruit

sits plump

in the sun

on the kitchen counter

its here now

full

ready

always

for me

the clay

our thoughts

are ripe

juicy

they appear

unendingly

falling

from the tree

simply arrive

serving themselves to us

no where to go

our door ever knocked at

Hi Joy

here i am

see me

question me

Self employed

working from Home

i need do nothing

but answer the door

the bushel basket

is brimming!

everything is a question

everything

is a question

what do you really believe?

do you really believe what you say?

do you really believe what you think?

is it true?

in the face of this "tragedy"

in the face of this "mistake"

in the face of this "event"

in the face of this "crisis" (opportunity in Chinese I think)

you never thought about it before?

well,

now

you have no choice!

this moment

and every instant

is the time

FOR

decision

that's why we're here

which side

are you on?

Love Life Abundance Spirit Vision Oneness Wholeness All Inclusive Defenseless Laughter Infinite Nature Reality Eternal

or

denial of Love...

nothing

black hole

fear

emptiness

scarcity

lack?

What are You?

Love

or

fear

and in the end....

in reality

there is no choice

no matter what you decide

no matter what you think

Love is

holding everything safely

rest now, dear Child,

in the silence

fossils don't know how to dance :-)

see

the fossils

buried

in your mind...

the ancient

lifeless

forms

taking up space

"i am a body"

"you are to blame"

"something is wrong"

"if only..."

these fossils

chain us to them

holding us tightly

in the past

to death

they hold no life

they are dead

and buried

see them!

and life is no longer

bound

by limits

of any kind

fossils

do not

keep us safe

fossils

do not

know how to dance!!!

they simply lay there

doing absolutely nothing

while we

worship them...

crazy!

unharmed

mommy mommy!

tommy beat me up!

(the ego still screams to me....)

oh

really,

are you sure?

are you breathing?

yes

are you walking?

yes

are you talking?

yes

are you still you

with all your gifts

and joy

and life

and thoughts

and poetry

and jokes

and friendship

and infinite possibilities?

yes

are you still Spirit

created by Spirit

forever unchangeable

no matter what your body looks like?

yes....

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

thank you...

loss

pain

suffering

is

only

the

imagining

we

are

no longer

what we are....

tommy/the world

can never

beat us up!

wordless

without pre-conception

i am born now

everything

brand new

awe

wonder...

without

pre conception

i have no substitute

for this

birth experience

now

no past

no luggage

birth

now

opening

to the new

world....

for giving

no pre conceptions....

hmmm...

????....

curious.....

interested...

unattached

totally connected...

floating

above and below equal

no pre conceptions

i watch

as the world is born ...

round trip ticket

before mo tion

before no tion

stillness

before body,

the thought of motion,

of going somewhere

else

leaving

stillness

calls for some con trap tion

to pick you up

and take you far away--

a vehicle

it's called

a daydream

because You

can never leave

what you are

Stillness

now we still the vehicle

use the vehicle

for the return trip

a dream is inherently

a round trip ticket

you eventually

simply

have to

wake up!

riding the crest...

who would i be

without the thought

something can happen at the wrong time?

i would but rest

in perfect stillness

to take in

the glory

of Heaven

having all that is right now

i would see

the Universe exists!!!

and is coming at me

and to me

all the time

thoughts/ideas

come to you

we don't go out to get an idea

we have ideas

that tell us

wht to do

thoughts are given

eternally appearing

no effort on our part

nor can we start them or stop them

creation is

regardless of our beliefs

we are lived

we are thought

we are breathed

relax

watch

enjoy

the ride

at the crest of the wave

balanced

poised

riding the peak experience

forever held

above the fray

the rumble

the wrestled and pinned down undertow

this froth for me

this light for me

this air, breeze, mist

for

God's Son

penetration of the divine

through and through

completely marinated

slopped and splashed with Love

dripping

rinsed

taken

in...ward

to Wholeness

(nothing can happen

at the wrong time...)

sailing!!!!

who would i be

without the thought

something can happen at the wrong time?

oh oh oh

i would see

the boat is always here

waiting for me

the moment i am ready

it is for me

and cannot leave

without me

the eternal ride

of peace

no friction at all

completely smoothe water

it glides

the boat simply waits

for you to leave the shore:

your solid misbeliefs

behind

step off the past

that held you for so long

leave the familiar

concepts

the old you

the ancient dreams of victim

wounded

missing parts

incompletion

and now!!!

the boat just walked through the door

the person in my life

is

my boat

he has come

and is here now and always

for me to board my love

to give/share my wholeness

that's how we sail

easily along

the holy relationship

is

but a boatride

without giving

we are sunk:

try to take

anything from a boat

and all you have is a hole

for the water to come in

and you both must go down

Boats/people are for-giving

herein lies all Peace

see the sailboats everywhere...it's really quite a ride:-)))

what do i really want for Xmas?

are you concerned

with the wrapping paper

or the contents?

God is

inside

the box

the fancy paper

will never satisfy you

Love is reflected

everywhere

you see it everywhere

or you don't see it at all

Everywhere is the mirror;

there is not a single mirror

for love

the whole world

is your mirror

how are you looking today?

open the box

look inside...

God is laughing there,

with you....

(all i want for Xmas

is God's laughter...:-)

See

be somebody

work hard

get somewhere

oh oh oh

what cruel unkind words

i am

so much more

than any one person

than any role

than any status

any income

any job description

career

any one position

oh oh oh

the dear innocent Child

Spirit

Enthusiasm

Life

is so so so much more

be something

no no, i say unto you but this,

SEE

what you are

all power in Heaven and earth is you

all glory

is

given you

you

are the Love

the real

the eternal

you

are the Song

that springs eternal

that is our very deepest love

the sweetest drink

the only quenching

we can ever know

know

thyself

know

what we are

let the call to be somebody

be what it is:

misguided meaningless nonsense

Only Spirit

is your Nature;

it is not

the bristle of a toothbrush (some specific title)

the Ocean

the Ocean

the Ocean,

Listen now

to the dearest Voice,

you are

and love it

with all your heart

spaciousness

we are

the stillness

the Space

for God

the open mind

be you spacious

open all the doors and windows

to the sun

the fresh air

the breath

freely in and out

open spaciousness

spacious skies

spacious mind

make room at the inn

simply

hold the space

allow space to be

between thoughts

words

actions

allow

allow

allow

space

to be

it is not the getting or filling

that nourishes us

but the space

give yourself lots of time

today

you have

all of it!
