...

if ever you come here
missing your own path to the heart
then rest for a while with me
if ever you look at me
then look at me with kindness
ages have passed
lives have passed
the silence is uneasy
and the flowers slowly open
inside

Divine Play

what message will be given today?
in quiet shyness
see how the Spring flowers shine
we understand and yet we don't
games of confusion overtake the mind
a heavy rain keeps puring within
see, when the heart is captured
then YOU, who has captured my heart
tell me now:
how can a heart be so lost?

What is this?

The point is, according to the speaker, is If we care for the moment we do not have the wrong priorities, there are no expectations. The care we give into the moment, the process and the welfare of others matters! The point is not to like, be liked or being the best but caring for the process. Trying your best in the moment, the relationship with what you do, your suroundings and the people do get better. The point is to care for EVERYTHING moment by moment!

Care and kindness in the moment is the real success in life! The most important thing to do is to care right now and care for the person who you are with in this moment.
Love and CARE!

from HERE

many years ago
there was a talk
about an unknown friend
who enters into people
in his absence
the heart became silent
the kind of silence
which sometimes produces tears
time passed - distance increased
we played the games of the world
trying not to notice the fatigue
then after eons
this friend returned
he came to pour out his presence
then all exhaustion went away
peace emerged out of nothing
an ocean of beauty
burst open
from where?

Peace

song

catch a new song
a melody floats along
from this unique cloud
and from a sparkling star
which glows in the dark
a string of light arises
it absorbs experience
those songs become garland of flowers
to be given to a stream of water
which glitters through a dry desert
life giving water melodies fill us
we rush forward to listen closely
then, when we truly listen together
no one remains alone -
we drink songs together
song and melody unite
and all good intentions
ancient and ever new
are you with your song?



Peace!

the puzzle

so many beings have broken down
the earth is still filled with blood
not just human blood...
many beings have lost all
many are still lost without their light
then we will eventually rise up again
and merge back into the light ocean
when all needs are fulfilled
when all deprivations are removed
when all dignity remains restored
our hearts will overflow once more
then we pour our love into each other
our suffering will be shared
and so will be our joys
in this shared universe
we carry each other along
as no one lives in isolation
we all live together
for this earth and the water
and the fire and the air
belongs to all of us
we all are a family
not just for humans...
needing nothing... and in our humanity...
we share everything we own
as we really then...
do need nothing any more

The riddles of koans are fascinating -



LOVE!

must read

more than ever

Another must read, about everything humanity goes through right now.
Impoverishment - also read part I.

The last part of the article was new to me... the description of the new superclass. Still, spiritually speaking, humans are here for dharmic reasons, and not for wasting time on senseless unsustainable accumulation of wealth only to impress their neighbors. We really do not need the rich to evolve but we need people to evolve and teach spirituality the poor, if they are so inclined. In this way they can be happy anyway if healthy food, cloth and medicine still can be delivered. Living an uncomplicated healthy zen life style and be rich from the heart is so much better for everybody and the planet anyway. Inner riches from meditation will be enough soul food to make great yogis and devotee divine lovers out of people. Hence many may very well be happier than some rather unaware folks from the new super-ueber-upper-class, obviously being clueless about the value of service and compassion. How could they close their eyes to the people who suffer because of their doing? One cannot help but wonder, who has a true poverty mentality?

peace!

Never forget

there is a divine truth within
that seeks to be known to you
this is the part of who you are
this is the part that knows more than
your thoughts, emotions, experience
it is the part that knows you forever
this LOVE is the greatest of all
it is the part of you that also knows
that you are a limitless, powerful,
precious, and divine being of everlasting
eternal LOVE



So then, what is this LOVE? :-)

observe this -

what is this
when this is IT
and then IT isn't IT?

what is a moment
when need is not known
and then we become attached?

how can we know
that we are really THERE
but when we return - we don't know from where?

when I think - and therefore I am
but when I think NOT -
then I really AM? - Crazy it is

when you see - a paradox
that plays hide and seek with relative love
whatever rises - that must fall - is it just a trick?

when impermanence and relative truth
is setting the stage to run the news
just watch how thoughts become your way
reality forms to what you say

here we go - receive and give
see how we link to - LOVE to all there IS
nothing is nothing - as love becomes IT
Love is all there is

we can see how THAT is ALL there IS -
and listen for a while to love is all there is
become JUST THAT - the THAT which IS -
become the love that really is

Is it YOU - that is of THIS?
embrace what is - as a moment to be
if all is part - of what is really you
which knows you just as - love is all there is to be?
...then just LOVE! (2x or so)
...just be LOVE!(2x)
...then just LOVE! (3x) JUST LOVE... JUST LOVE... JUST LOVE (fade out)

another sea

look at a rainbow of many colors and hues
dance of attachment... attraction... aversion
thoughts and emotions rule what is to be
when affection fills space
full hearts can't become empty
overflow with what you hold close
the subtle love -
behind all of that...
...just another sea

just speak openly

what is within the cosmic mind
for whom do the galaxies spin
why are ancient melodies lost in space
for whom does a bird spread its wings

what is it what is being thought by us
why can we not know things for sure
why play with creation as if a toy
and what can we do to truly serve

nobody today knows about tomorrow
what will come to pass when we plant seeds
what seed will rise and what seed will fall
not every seed can grow tall

why is there such a secrecy
what does it take to be open
why not just request a frank word
an then let things go as they must

Please let me know!

No matter where we go the path is always right - Just this ancient ever new love.

path of no preference

the inner sloth needs to wake up
the calls are loud and clear
in this stagnant environment
dynamism becomes the light to overcome fear

closed eyes relax into subtle meditation
here... sitting with no preference
there is no search and no path
all determination turns into love

the music of the heart does resonate
to the rays of the friendly sun
overcomes floating thoughts and emotions
outer beauty merges into inner one

ever more light carries through all limits
and comforts, beauty or shame have no place to rest
why worry about this or that and daydreams
a no preference stance arises - and brings out nothing but the best!


Peace

here

we will travel on light beams
encounter for sure that what has to become
we melt away into the softness of our hearts
and through this union become fearless
a time will come when we resonate in one song
move along the easy path on melodies
and if we think just one moment clearly
we know that the time always arrives
right now - we are HERE



"To the degree that you listen within the hearts intimacy there is the space where revelation begins taking root into creation." (a friend)

practice with words

limitless thoughts flow through space
unnumbered melodies come to you this day
endless words display another song
inspire to share, create and care

when nobody is looking
and all just listen to your song
the powers of your word transports
the flow of your heart transforms

when thoughts resonate to environments
words sing of your perceptions
actions can follow what inspires you
now feel what creates - what resonates

now tell me who you are!
tell me whom you love!
tell me what you want!
tell me how this world is true!

show what excits in your life!
is this a show to be remembered!
is it a moment on stage that will do!
tell me what flows through your mind!

let me follow your thoughts just once more
let me listen your silent words in peace
let me see how your acttions create what you love
let me feel how your heart flows and beats

tell me what we think right now
that will be true tomorrow
how creating inner bliss in you
was felt as what you knew was love!
