When I Was the Forest
When I was the stream, when I was the forest, when I was still the field, when I was every hoof, foot, fin and wing, when I was the sky itself, no one ever asked me did I have a purpose, no one ever wondered was there anything I might need, for there was nothing I could not love. It was when I left all we once were that the agony began, the fear and questions came; and I wept; I wept. And tears I...

Read MoreAre You looking for me?
Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat. My shoulder is against yours. You will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals: Not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but vegetables. When you really look for me you will see me Instantly— You will find me in the tiniest house of...
Read MoreBrave New Words
The hardest thing is getting started and why is that exactly? Imagine God a few moments before the Big Bang, mincing around behind the stage in a petticoat with wine-tipped cigar - the anxiety! Have we rehearsed well enough? Are the atoms all in their correct costumes? Is there enough gas in the tank? Enough light in the urn? God prancing with a Martini, upending his gums with...
Read MorePLACE
Interesting that this writing from around the late 1800s echoes much of what we hear in the new age literature (i.e. “law of attraction” in the last paragraph.) If the word God bothers you be sure to replace with synonym of your choice and instead of He – use She. The message works from whatever gender and or ‘higher power label’ works for you. “The...

Read MoreListen, O Drop
Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret, and in exchange gain the Ocean. Listen, O drop, bestow upon yourself this honor, and in the arms of the Sea be secure. Who indeed should be so fortunate? An Ocean wooing a drop! In God’s name, in God’s name, sell and buy at once! Give a drop, and take this Sea full of pearls.” ―...
Read MoreSo Many Gifts
There are so many gifts Still unopened from your birthday, There are so many hand-crafted presents that have been sent to you by God. The Beloved does not mind repeating, “Everything I have is also yours.” Please forgive Hafiz and the Friend If we break into a sweet laughter When your heart complains of being thirsty When ages ago Every cell in your soul Capsized forever Into this...
Read MoreWhat should it be……
Now, the presumption here, for some of you, is you will not feel things. You will become an idea of your spiritual self. And that is not this teaching. This is not about becoming emotionless — far from it. It’s about not being reactive at a level of agreement that creates separation. You may cry, you may laugh, you may enjoy, you may grieve in what we call...

I said to a squirrel, “What’s that you are carrying?” and he said, “It is my lucky rock; isn’t it pretty?” I held it and said, “Indeed.” I said to God, What is this earth?” And He said, “it is my lucky rock; isn’t it wondrous?” Yes, indeed. ...
