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!
