Homecoming

Image
  How many times must I hear Buddha say "breathe in, breathe out," before I can do it myself? I got tired of being spiritual so I came home, built a fire, made coffee, took out mother's cup and ran my fingers over its hair-thin crazing, threads of brown in blue. But mostly I came home to you, a hug of fur on fur. I got tired of being spiritual, so I came home to Being. Photo: still life in my kitchen 

Full Of My Self

Image
  I am so full of my Self, What an ego! Every sparrow is singing my name. The rain drops come down from heaven to search for my cheeks, like tears. Every  star longs to hear my wish. Rejoicing at my footsteps, the earth cries, "Take off your shoes!" Why does the world turn?  So that the moon can get a better view of my face. She won't tell you this,  but  my joy is what makes her full. The Milky Way is only a particle  of my bliss. What an ego I Am! It's your fault, Beloved. You made me this way,  ripe and sweet  and wildly in love  so that my heart could embrace  the whole creation, and offer it back to You with  this breath.     Painting: by Mahmoud Farshchian            

'Rest In The Heart' - A New Book

Image
Here is the link where you can order the book from Rashani's website, discounted for the month of May.  https://www.rashani.com/booksandjournals/p/rest-in-the-heart    This is a stunning, colorful, coffee-table art book, using words that Rashani Réa selected from my writings to weave into her art. Thank you, Rashani, for all the labor of love that went into these mandala/collages! The purpose of this book is to provide portals through which the mind may descend into the heart, for the New Earth will manifest through humanity's Hridaya chakra. Below is  a sample page from the book, along with  the back cover where you can read endorsements by some notable authors and teachers. Click photos to enlarge.

Kiss

Image
I have located the glow of pure silence. It is your face. I won't tell anyone. They will have to find it beyond oneness, beyond light, when their lips touch yours. I am not a jealous person. Love has a trillion faces but there is only one kiss. NOTE: " There is some kiss we want with our whole lives , the touch of Spirit on the body." ~ Rumi
