I will write peace on your wings
and you will fly all over the world...

says love
It is nonsense,
says reason.
It is what it is,
says love.
It is a misfortune,
says calculation.
It is nothing but pain,
says fear.
It is hopeless,
says examination.
It is what is it,
says love.
It is ridiculous,
says pride.
It is careless,
says care.
It is impossible,
says experience.
It is what it is,
says love.
(Erich Fried)

Spacious
"Impermanence is a cause for celebration. Impermanence is our opportunity to discover presence. Present moments are infinite. They will never end. We will never cease to have opportunities to start again. We will never cease to have opportunities to experience presence."
Spacious Passion, Ngakma Nor’dzin

Coming and Going
I am going off into the sunset,
Their will never be a time that your not inside of me.
For no matter how far I leave, I always come back to you.
The sun rises and sets, my love for you never left.
There is a journey and a path I must take.
The travels of a monk is lonely and hard to take.
With only a robe and a bowl and my love in hand.
My only wish is to see this land live in love and light
Said Sadmonk
There is only arriving for now!

from nowhere to everywhere
today is another very hot Summer day
and the garden is all dried up
still who is living in your hearts place
at the place which only knows highest love?
there is always a universe of change
and wherever we are
all thoughts and images only come to fade away
and we don't really know
how appearances rise and fade
like an ocean wave or a kind breeze in the wind
the birds of the Summer do sing along kindly
expressing their welcome to one and all life
in this creation of immense beauty
we all shine in this overflowing effulgence
can you in your own presence sense total agreement?
today, in the sweet flow of subtle thoughts
lovingness spreads to all and everywhere
soft eyes look out in total amazement
towards this place of ever ending flowing devotion
this love keeps creating beauty in silence
can you see how these words come and go -
from nowhere to everywhere
all at once?
Om Shanti
Just be at Peace!

Just This
in a dream
a vibrational flower field appeared
here were the flowers always bloom
and the clouds drift along in peace
absorbed in slow moving compassion
we all meet again and again -
without speaking
people come to stay together in silence
to gaze into a far horizon
towards a distant place
with no reference point
many wanted to say something
something that has caused a deep wound
but without telling
they usually all leave in silence
these unspoken words
will melt away one day
like a snowflake in the ocean
only the flowers will know
about THAT which cannot be spoken about
about THAT which is without words
About THAT which JUST IS
JUST THIS

Thin Mind
the ever thinning mind
will now become infinite
nothing left to understand
keep hiding - or show up
hidden in deep ocean
or traveling the endless skies
for the thinning mind
all coming and going stops
hidden in every grain of sand
and in the melody of dancing clouds
the rising and falling of all emotions
and in the unconditional universal mind
for the thinning mind
all coming and going stops
with in the heart's sun
the thinning mind expands
tell me, even after knowing THIS
why do we forget?
here...
we cannot look away

sweet
You don't have to do anything with your mind,
just let it naturally rest in it's essential nature.
Your own mind, unagitated, is reality.
Meditate on this without distraction.
Know the Truth beyond all opposites.
Thoughts are like bubbles that form and dissolve in clear water.
Thoughts are not distinct from the absolute Reality,
so relax, there is no need to be critical.
Whatever arises, whatever occurs,
simply don't cling to it, but immediately let it go.
What you see, hear, and touch are your own mind.
There is nothing but mind.
Mind transcends birth and death.
The essence of mind is pure Consciousness that never leaves reality,
even though it experiences the things of the senses.
In the equanimity of the Absolute, there is nothing to renounce or attain.
-Niguma

he teaches us to face everything
http://www.live365.com/stations/michael2013/schedule
How to resolve the impact of childhood trauma now affecting our adult experience without pharmaceuticals or verbal therapy.
He teaches us to face everything with courage.
Yogis are of all kinds
Vajrayogini dances on the ego.
Devotional Tantra
people who live in ancient lands
are rich at heart but poor otherwise
my friend, come and visit the poorest of the poor
your family with a rich heart is waiting for you
please take rest here for a while and eat with them
and listen to the pains and pleasures
the song and stories
of the people of the heart
they all are the kings and queens
of the unconditional kingdom
as you have been a father
as you have been a mother
as you have been a beloved child
you know the longing and the truth
of the people of the heart
is the same longing as your own
so many have given their body and mind
to the unconditional loving mind
their breath rises into the sky
so vast and so open and free
my dear friend
please listen to their songs
they people of the heart know...
they know the songs
of the heart's victory sun
This too is tantra... caring tantra... where darkness is removed by a glimpse of the victory sun's devotional love light.
Here too yogis dance on their ego... by doing loving service, sadhana (service to the universe) and unconditional offering to all beings alike.

More Of THIS - Heaven And Earth Are Also Trustwrothy
Chogyam Trungpa’s recipes for the “Heaven and Earth Sandwich” - (Share)
“Imagine,” wrote Chogyam Trungpa, “that you are sitting naked on the ground, with your bare bottom touching the earth. Since you are not wearing a scarf or hat, you are also exposed to heaven above.
“You are sandwiched between heaven and earth: a naked man or woman, sitting between heaven and earth… - “Earth is always earth. The earth will let anyone sit on it, and earth never gives way. It never lets you go — you don’t drop off this earth and go flying through outer space. Likewise, sky is always sky; heaven is always heaven above you. Whether it is snowing or raining or the sun is shining, whether it is daytime or nighttime, the sky is always there. In that sense, we know that heaven and earth are trustworthy.” –from “The Genuine Heart of Sadness,” in Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior (Shambhala Library Edition), page 28.
And maybe, Trungpa Rinpoche suggested in this conversation with a student, you needn’t “imagine” at all:
Student: Could you say something about what you mean by heaven and earth?
Chogyam Trungpa: What do you think it could be? Do you have any ideas?… What’s earth?
Student: Well, that’s where I’m sitting.
Chogyam Trungpa: Good. From that, you can tell what heaven is. It’s our reference point with each other.
Student: But that sounds like being in the middle of a sandwich.
Chogyam Trungpa: Well, maybe you are in a sandwich. We’re always sandwiched because we have a past, we have a present, and we have a future. We are sandwiched by our father, our mother, our child. Even timewise, we are sandwiched. We are sandwiched between breakfast, lunch and dinner.
From “How to Cultivate the Great Eastern Sun,” in Great Eastern Sun: The Wisdom of Shambhala, pages 112 to 113.
--------------
on the day of union
bathed in the rays of the morning sun
no ill feeling lingered
the fragrance of flowers
and the smile of life
removed all mental afflictions
between heaven and earth
amidst dry desert
rain peace
between the crimson hue of the morning sun
and the tender red color of the evening sky
the fragrance of ca’mpa’ and ketakii fills the air
blows a heavenly fragrance
between heaven and earth
(some words translated from Bengali from my mentor's lovely song poetry)
