A Card Game: It will not happen this way... partly only -

Enjoy the cowboy's code of conduct! Perhaps when cowboys eat a balanced diet and stay out of the heat it will help them to harmonize the unwanted warrior temper. One could add, "a progressive cowboy is really a universalist and cares for people, animals, and plants wholeheartedly - locally and globally."

Watch this 2 hr must see movie. The end is specially important as it is like an initiation into a now paradigm of relating to one another. In view of the movie and the above cowboy code of conduct let's hope that some will be good at a time when it really counts? Peace to the cowboys! Just kidding here in general!

and the wise man asked me today:

for whom is meant your hearts love?
for whom do you write your poetry?
when you sing who hears your song?
your world is just a playful smile
your charming tears a rainbows fall
now tell me...
what takes place in your mind now?
you can't deny the reality of the moment
why is your life long dream an illusion?
why would we dwell in fleeting impressions?
no one knows today
about what will unfold tomorrow
you can continue to request
and invite your friends
again and again
to speak their mind freely
and open their heart - when ready
they will understand
one day - they will know more
all we can know is what is HERE
or perhaps even... NOT? :-)



So lovely... indeed!

it was a magefile... and is a megalife :-)

I love how she explores what she thinks of what is her "inner child." Aspects of emotional maturity, immaturity, playfulness, joy is often expressed here.

this narrative is also called "I'll Fly Away"

this was (is perhaps still) the centerstage...♡... I forgot to place this in the below collage... yet, it matters little. Perhaps one day, this will not be a centerstage any longer. This is only a possibility. Nothing has any reality or substance. Yet, love is what keeps the centerstage shifting into the light and beyond.


Here deconstructive impermanence is my friend and true love...
Here you can see how big the pic beneath would be if printed in proportion. The above card is really the center piece of life here. It's as if one does not know where to go and turn. Nothing turns out to be right. Placed into the big picture however, we find all is good, always.... and love never stops either, not for once even. Still, it is perhaps patience which is the key, and with patience comes resting in awareness, which will bring forth that which is to become, eventually... that which will be... and we know of it to come true. In the meantime, we are always complete.

a megafile with a story to telll

when we cry...
we water the flowers
of the next morning
in our heart
they grow
and they shine
and they are soft

I'll Fly Away - Observe the Arising

observe the arising
... of unconditioned
and conditioned awareness
without separation
see what you do now?
what grabs our attention?
rest here and reconnect
what happens now... share it
deny not the reality of the moment
it cannot be any different than what it is
allow... always allow...

In process of dissolving impressions there is an activation of unconditioned awareness.
We can ask, how can we be complete and not be tight around ourselves? There is lots of suffering in being tight. Striving for excellence is suffering. There is, however, excellence, in non striving.

This collage, was made with the help of a combination of various cards I assembled to create a symbolic story with no substance. It will fly away into an ever new form. Yet, unconditioned love will always stay as it cannot be made into something.

coming

Yes... it has been here already
It is inside already
only time, place, and person varies

an affirmation came today

we love and sometimes walk along a dusty road
after a long walk we talk to ourselves wondrous stories
... of an end to the path and...
... that we never even walked a path...
we tell ourselves also... what matters right NOW
... now, a thought came to me which said
..."the universe us made of thought waves"...
then, when we meet someone - we ask no questions
we know, all are together inside a singular life boat
intertwined in our intention and goodwill
we speak of a singular love only then
and share a thread of love as one ...and not even one
then, when the polestar touches us
we grow another lotus flower of love
...in our heart... you will see...
...soon enough... dear friend
...soon enough...

My friend made a card and it says, "believe in yourself... you are a special person with all your strength and weaknesses."

arising of form...

so many colors and attractions
when in quiet observation...
how can we ignore what we see?
not even a single flower on earth
can be ignored and neglected then
and even without talking
we shall all be carried away by love
deep within we can then talk freely
sing songs of love and affection
if we want

those hats
are filled
with new smiling thoughts
throw all love into a flowing waterfall
old things pass away soon enough
the new day is here now
let us see what comes

songs can fly

sing songs
just look
clear sky
painted with flowers
painted with the touch of love
for all those who love
will you create a song too?
your songs can fly high
into our hearts

holding the patchwork of life

"My heart tells me we can never have too many songbirds, too many empty spaces filled with natural beauty, or too much diversity of plant and animal species as our companions. We can never have too much time spent studying and learning about the wonders of the Creation that gave birth to us, or meditatively reflecting on the presence of the Spirit that animates all within it.

We can never have too much fertility of soil, purity of water, freshness of air, and never too much abundance from organic farms and gardens. We can never have too much knowledge of how to care for our families with healthy food and natural medicines, and never have too many friends in nourishing and supportive communities." (by David Crow)

the ocean of forms is filled with sound of color
yes, there can never be enough fresh air and clean water
the sky and the air are full of space and light
and in the ocean lies our fate and our life
looking back to materialism and limited insights
we find so much darkness and so much dogma
perhaps in our future there there will be benevolence
but right HERE, we find that what can't be found
the mystery of all life... then...
shall we protect the patchwork of life?
shall we together learn to really love?
shall we know what it means to really die
into that which is eternally true?
die, into that which is not graspable
we always can hold a bird in hour hearts
drink clean water and share food with all
live a life of peace with other beings
we are becoming tired of not helping the earth
but HERE ... right HERE .... there is always peace
not even peace...

Love... compassion... action... help... metta... we are all one body... the pain of all beings is our pain and so is their love... can we make the planet into a real star... can we make a planet filled with happy beings one day? We all must keep trying... we must!

movement towards limitlessness

many march a path of bliss
which casts light into darkness
we think we know what path is right
notice that those who walk in front
have not arrived the imagined goal
well... as we all exist right NOW
HERE, we may forget all about a path
we live, we give and co-exist
when we smile together, who then can cry?
we learn that even hopelessness is wisdom
we sure are then beyond any pessimism
in our eyes we reflect the rainbow
when there is nothing to attain
then we may as well attain everything
what limitations can there be when we are HERE?
tell me what do you know...

are these really skills states of being?

unconditional

"Subtle and refined contents of awareness create supporting conditions to rest in the unconditional. Even when conditions are not conducive and challenges do arise, we learn to rest in unconditional awareness more and more frequently and for longer periods of time." (paraphrased from Peter F.)

The unconditional feels like a really non existing shelter for all life, as we cannot put the HERE ever into words.

We must adapt

Listen to song by REM, "it's the end of the world as we know it." You can read the article too. It is time to adapt... And - I feel fine! :-) - peace...

sweet

when songs and music carry spirit
all atoms and particles also rush forward
they gather together - and want to feel good
likewise, we, absorbed in sweet intention
feel the vibrant songs touch like a fresh breeze
we all then dance, sing and play together
and some even listen from their own home
now spread happiness, please, will you?
can you see how we are all right HERE
even if unknown and from afar?

one of the better articles

about the oil spill

the sky and the air are full of poison
the rainbow colors of the sky remains distorted
creating ever darker prisons for the living and dying
now, when will we crush the prison of greed?
and can we even wipe the ocean off red tears?..
we can look back to understand the future
now, was it the way we seek to grow our profits
that starts all the dark ways of wanting... - ?
but we know that deep within all of us
another ocean of emerges in time
shining brilliantly like a sun in the center of space
then we know we are here for the giving
and taking and sharing of hearts
we move along the ocean of forms
to enrich the ever new earth
and we create even stars
from within----
from so deep within
wishing to sing a song of such kind
to become real and true
creating a world - so endlessly sweet


Oh, sweet world... your are mine, so near and dear, a love divine...

invite

shall we invite all beings
to move together as the one unconditional force
beings suffer on land, the air and the oceans
have we forgotten their pain - and... do we even care?
we want to move towards less suffering
but when we cannot see the stars on a clear night
and when the sea is black and thick with pollution
when the flowers are covered with dust
and the screams of the beings of the sea...
cannot be heard... hence, are forgotten...
shall we get a ship ready then...
and work all together...
row with the strong arms and determination
take into the boat all beings who suffer
bring them into a save shore?
with strong hands and strong hearts?
we can do this task of love
but, will we love so much?

we are one body

"humans are members of the same body
all created from the same essence
if one limb is in pain others cannot be at ease
if you are indifferent to other people's pain
you cannot be called a human"
-Saadi- (13th century Persian poet)

(think about all beings sadness and happiness are part of our loving heart)

change

watch all time and space
and see how nothing can be hidden
not an open love and not even a secret
whatever the circumstance may be
we are being pervaded by the unknown
and when the heart is gentle
and it beats to rhythm and dance
within a rainbow of colors
were all that is... exists together
ever combined as 1 AND 2
all lights shine next to one another
and radiate in mystic unison
beyond even the greatest of lights
still, what can we know when we shine?
do we even know that we radiate at all?
what can we really say and share from HERE?
what if we do not know what we are talking about?
what if that which we say does not make any sense?
can we still just let this be
we know that this perhaps sounds crazy
what if the paradox cannot to be grasped?
sometimes the unconditional just seems so upside down

to encourage

when your songs touch our dreams
our life surges with a new found force
vibrating melodious words
open to a panoramas - of a sweeter world

and when your song touches our hearts
beyond all bounds and limitations
the air becomes was filled and dense
overflows with rhythm and dance... (or inner peace)

within your own star field of music
remember all those who lost something they loved
those songs bring the World a new momentum
just watch how this magic wants to become

whatever comes - just feel the blessing
your life surges with magic and energy
your deepest feelings have found expression
can you see how you filled in this way...
...our hurting earth with your subtle love?
(TOTALLY!)


One can hear love through songs!

positive thinking? But how?

here

last nights flowers

they were honest
reflecting the light
utterly open
to receive the rain
the light
the night
admired for their beauty
forgotten when vanished
they are what they they are
honest...

tell me everything

for whom are meant
our loving feelings?
for whom are meant
all music, dance and songs?

what is it that takes place in awareness itself?
why does life's mystery remain unknown?
and, how can a heart then be shaken?
it is so easy to shatter a mind into pieces
why can we not know what IT is - to be HERE?

how can we even know of something
or about what will rise tomorrow
why does awareness play hide and seek
and why is there such secrecy?

how can we even ask the unconditioned
to speak to us at all?
is NOT KNOWING really an answer?
and how cruel is it to tell the mind
"TO JUST GET LOST" -
and, are these words even wise?
tell me, what then is compassion?
is even deepest wisdom love nothing?
--------------------
I don't know...

we can not say this is of THIS either

so many sounds travel through infinity
tell, who comes up with this ever new song?
streams of love are flooding through space
the earth and the stars shiver in beauty
and as the birds sing with you
of the quiet secrets of the flowers
the fresh air of awareness
caresses the world into sweetness
subtle vibrations flow ceaselessly
sink into the a deep distance
of such a blissful near and dear
yet empty vast void
who cannot help but wonder
how can that even be?

this

(tonight, a double rainbow)

playing with thoughts
hear the sound of silence
the boat is sinking
who has stolen this mind?

it comes when not called
and then it is gone again
and when we try to zoom in
there is no knower to know

being here or being HERE
one knows it only later
that one was somewhere
we can't know where

some effects are clear for some
refreshed cells or a clear brain
perhaps less suffering or no pain
well rested - everything comes to be near

then the world becomes beauty
in ever new fresh arising ways
we know that the waves of the ocean
will have to absorb the rain


(outside)

art

we shall make art
just look or listen to the sharing

pour all heart flowers
onto your star field

through the touch of love
create music and art

your music is fun
and light hearted spirit

melodies come through
some songs are sung from far

just dance and shine
in your a star field

you are all so near

sing

coming untimely
casually
playing with illusion
weaving confusion
still connecting the subtle
...silver lines

listening to music
even with limitations
this too... a mutual acquaintance
between the possible and impossible

your songs
...a craft
...an impulse
...a touch
more than just a rush

mutual knowing and listening
the taking and giving
the sharing of friendship
all parts move along
at the banks of the ocean
of form

our knowing in this life
took place only one or two ages ago
remaining oblivious to circumstance
and forgetting forever
are not the same thing
and forgetting won't happen either
when our mind becomes restless
and observes all pain and pleasure
with a calm and open heart
then there will be peace

just love anyway

thinking about the sun
days pass by in hunger
the sun still did not shine
perhaps... just imagine a sun
and then the light must come

on the the way to deeper love
passing ocean shores and forest paths
when interacting with circumstance
so many busy people come by
still, a full river is afraid to dry

at an unknown place inside
the sun was still not rising
how can the boat pass through the dark?
how can a boat row on waves too high?
how can the lost boat know answers?

who will come to row this boat?
is it at all wise to wait?
is patience really an answer?
and why wait - when time just passes by anyway?
why dwell in this earthly limitation?

a fainting heart will overcome the shaking
this fine place inside must not listen to mere words
only when loving words become reality -
perhaps then one can choose and act wisely
still, spread love - no matter what happens

fill all beings up
swing all love and hunger
into a single light beam
old things came up
to laugh again
to worry and lament
over non existing realities
shed tears over nothing
why not sing the song
of liberation
the load will be gone
just look onto the morning sun
