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.
