As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is AUTHENTICITY. As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody as I try to force my desires on this person, even […]
Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times… In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever. Whenever […]
Ode
We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;— World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems. With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world’s great cities, […]
Security is mostly…
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. God Himself is not secure, having given man dominion over His works! Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. […]
Presence
As I drive up the hill, I notice this old couple coming down the hill towards me. He, the driver, seems to be in his mid eighties. She, the passenger in the attached carriage, about the same age. The vehicle, a motorcycle from the time of their youth. They are taking their time, about half […]
The Valuable Time Of Maturity
I counted my years and discovered that I have fewer years left to live compared to the time I have lived until now.I feel like a boy who won a package of treats. The first he eats with pleasure, but when he realizes that there are a few left, he then starts to contemplate upon […]
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height.
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger […]
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and […]
Faith
Walking on the moonlit path, An open sky, a field of flowers The crickets are singing their never-ending song of mating, The breeze is light, softly kissing my lips The trees murmur – Go, do not stop! The stars agree – We will show you the way The moon, silently – I am there How […]
Don’t go back to sleep
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn’t decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside. The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go […]
Intellect is a Shackle
O my child, intellect is a shackle on the foot of one who walks the Path. Break the bond; the Way is open! The intellect is a chain, the heart may be deceptive, and even your soul is a veil – the Path is hidden from all three. When you lift the intellect, soul, and […]
Do you remember when You and I
Do you remember when You and I Have travelled through the stars as One? Do you remember when You and I Enjoyed the stillness of the Universe? Do you remember when You and I Desired to grow endlessly? Do you remember when You and I Became two separates from One? Do you remember when You […]
