Such an immense privilege this life!

What an honor to know
this unspeakable Truth
and what a cosmic joke
to want to speak of nothing else!

Is there a limit
to this fullness
constantly flowing,
replenishing waves of life?

Surging and merging
fluid yet solid
full yet empty
unifying duality.

Life is so beautiful!
Each breath a gift.
Every moment a priceless treasure.
Each heartbeat a holy song.

April 2002

In service to The One
who possesses this life,
this life is offered
again and again and again
in eternal gratitude and joy.

I am prostrate at
Love’s lotus feet
where there is no end
to this deepening surrender.

The limitless river of Grace
overflows this vessel
with exquisite fulfillment
not of this world.

Neither fame nor fortune
will ever compare to the
supreme wealth of this living
Presence.

Flames like you and I
are never content
to smolder
inside the finite walls
of the lying mind
knowing our heart roars
and is kindled with
the bones of dead beliefs.

Flames like you and I
are pulled dancing
into the infinite wildfire
of Truth
where the heat
ascends beyond limited,
suffocating concepts
and consumes all that is
in the blazing holy fire of
The Self.

Flames like you and I
will never be extinguished
being fueled directly
by the breath of God
we burn
in eternal tribute to
The One
who began this
ecstatic combustion.

There are Angels in strange places

and they take us by surprise.

You know for sure you’ve met one

but the sparkle in their eyes.

They seem to look right through us

and beyond our weak facade.

They recognize and honor

that we’re all a part of God.

Their duty here is truly one

of love and guidance strong.

They help us to remember

our beautiful soul song.

When once again you’re filled with Light

and feel a sense of knowing,

it’s quite possible you’ve met an Angel

whose wings were just not showing.

October 1991

I Am the I Am that knows.
I Am The Great Perceiver.
Vast, limitless awareness behind and within
all that is perceivable and invisible.
I have come through all life to find my Self everywhere.
Open the eyes of the heart and see
Love is here wearing your name
and all names ever spoken throughout and beyond time.
The Beloved is called all things, named and nameless. 
There is no “you” ~ only I Am.
The One to be discovered behind the cloak of mirrors
and the translucent veil of this
Great Mystery.

October 2011

My soul dissolves

like sugar

sweetly melting in

the warm

water of Love…

causing a union

that makes honey

taste sour in comparison.

I sip this intoxicating tea

and I am

enveloped in bliss.

August 2011

This day is ripe with the fruits of insight and wisdom.
This moment is like an abundant orchard, fragrant and full. 
Be welcome here in this blessed Garden of Grace,
illuminated with Truth’s pure Light. 
Partake of this generous offering with every breath and know that this splendor is eternally available as your very Self. 
There is no escaping this magnificent bounty, \for there is nowhere but here and no time but now.

Receive!

Beloved One who never rests
how sweet of you
to push me from
my comfortable nest
of conformity and pretense.

Now at last I know I have landed
even as I free fall
into your arms
I hear you laughing at
my last remnants of doubt.

You have pushed me
and you have caught me
but you have never
begged me
to embrace you.

I have come
into your arms
of my own accord
the only way
to arrive at the core of  Being.

Beloved One who never rests
how sweet
this graceful fall
into your eternal embrace
where I have been all along.

December 1999

Hand of God rest upon me
and warm my longing heart with the
memory of your Love.

Touch me deeply so I may awaken
and remember that I am your
child, above all else.

Plant peaceful thoughts in my
mind so they may bloom in the
garden of my life.

Fill my body with health and vitality
so I may have strength to create
beauty on earth.

Surround me with Your Radiant Light
so I may clearly reflect The Divine
in all I think, say and do.

Work through my humble hands,
using them as an instrument to heal
for the highest good of all concerned.

Call my name softly and
I will to do Thy Will, for unto Thy Hands
I commit my spirit for all eternity.

August 1995

Free me, oh Flame of Divine Fire
for I am the temporal candle
and you are the Eternal Sun. . .I am melted.

Reshape me, oh Hand of Divine Creation
for I am no thing
and you are The Designer. . .I am reborn.

Guide me, oh Light of Divine Truth
for I am blind
and you are The Illuminator. . .I am seeing.

Lift me, oh Wings of Divine Power
for I am lifeless
and you are The Animator. . .I am flying.

Penetrate me, oh Heart of Divine Love
for I am willing
and you are The Lover. . .I am Love.
