Paths IIA

Peek from ego’s cyclic wheel
To glimpse the eternal Light,
Which eclipses mortal appeal
And pleasure’s fleeting delight.
Leaving blind delusions behind
The treasure of life we’ll find
In lasting gifts of sight divine.

We hold the key
To see the light
Of our past failures,
Yet we stumble through the darkness
Of daylight
Without noticing
Our shortcomings.

I sit with autumn
Entering the prairie,
While spring is

Yet we wallow in the mud
Of our own making, like
Hogs.

Insects and birds sing
An autumnal opera
On Afton Mountain

Passionate in the moment
With no thought for tomorrow

Borning Prayer

Mother-Father
Blessed Universal Presence
Residing in the Eternal Now

Within this physical vehicle
Purifying and aligning
The seven energy centers
In each and every one of its bodies
Lighting the Vertical Pathway
Firing the Cross of Creation (more…)

To enter the new—
Cosmically.

The Dream Shelf

Reenter the Closet of Thought;
Sift through the forgotten debris
Left during many years of life,
And locate that special item
Buried somewhere on the Dream Shelf.
