Wonderful times
have wonderful rhymes
for all those wonderful laughs
reveal wonderful sunshine in our paths
and we write, we write it all..
down on paper..

In spite of all the things that go wrong,
there's so many things that go right.
So many friends that show us it's all alright.
So many fields, so many flowers,
so many years, so many memories
captured,
in the heart,
deep inside,
all those lovely ones
who spark such life,
in our minds
and help us become less stuck..

So many things come and go,
we get those who yell at us,
but they're just suffering.. I know..
Life is hard, a judgement here
a judgement there..
a threat to those who cannot even bear
to live this life, because it's hard..

But let us remind ourselves,
things do get old..
and wash away,
even thoughts,
they die after play..
It's all a play.
Impermanence is inevitable.

It is said
only essence lives on.
Our outer body dies and becomes dust along
a buried field of grass.
Our outer body can also be sprinkled after cremation
over the ocean's currents along with a prayer of reflection,
as our essence lives on.

This life force, does it even turn old,
or turn dead?
Many of us don't even know how to feel it, or
acknowledge if we're always in our head.

Many who have crossed over see that our light never dies,
it never sets.

So..

I prioritize today.

Everything and everything doesn't matter
as much as my time with my true nature inside that sways.
Can I allow my mind to still and allow myself to be free?

And the more I do makes its easier, it makes it easier to breathe.

I choose to feel that peace inside that never pushes me away.
It is gentle, it is kind, it is calm.
I feel it in my hand.

Its that pulsating feeling in my fingers, its so alive.
It's so alive.

I feel it in my feet, as if I were a tree deeply rooted to the earth..

I feel my legs and my arms filled with aliveness
and
the mind becomes more calm.

Then little by little,
I scan each part of me,
like my bottom,
my back,
my groin,
my abdomen,
my ribcage,
my chest,
my neck,
my face,
my scalp,
my head...
everywhere in my body I feel more space, with each breath.
And then no longer am I the thoughts or the emotions stuck inside..
I allow everything to pass..
I come back...
I am light.

I have stilled the mind and allow myself to be free.
I breathe.

Day off
Yet dispersed
One moment the TV is on
And one moment I thirst.

Yet the wandering mind comes and goes
It finds distractions
It’s all a show

And then I stop
I take it in
I take a breath
And with surrender, I give in.

The aliveness within
Is felt a little more and more.

It just takes connection
Divine reflection
A subtle notice
A subtle sound
From deep within
That says, “Stop somehow”

I used to get mad
When I’d ruin a perfect day
But not today,
I just catch whatever tendency
And know its okay
When I come back to a quiet place
Of deep peace within
That really truly feels this sacred day.

For it’s no longer what I do
That makes me happy-
But the peace and love in which I do it in.

I can catch it at any time,
After hours of mind struggle
Or after a sad honest cry,
I can catch any emotions or tensions
That are bottled up inside,
Or fears and misdirected perceptions
That are forcing this moment to become dry
And tasteless.

I rather connect to whatever pain within and kindly face it.
And as every wind is faced by the sun,
The sun showers the wind with light,
And the wind showers the sun,
with love.

It’s all a dance, this life, this love,
This strife, these doves that fly up in the air,
And remind us, with their grace,
That we too can fly, with freedom,
Once we drop the heaviness that no longer
Serves us

Anywhere

Anywhere we go,
Anyone we see
Can tell if we are carrying years of distress
And disease.
Sure we completely fool each other and act it out.

We pretend we are all happy,
Because our car is shiny,
We think that’s all they notice
It’s all about standing out.

But true happiness within
Is when the captain is not the mind,
But the inner endless wisdom that when I am
Quiet and still, can guide me deep inside.
I feel such bliss
I feel so light
I feel every single cell within me
Electrified with aliveness, and with peace.

I can use my mind when and how I want,
But I am no longer controlled by it
Each and every day of my life.


I don’t have to be doing anything special
For me to feel this hue.
This hue of colors, that like a rainbow
Bring me back to truth.
This love, which is felt within
And throughout me.

Oneness.
