Following Your Bliss

Following Your Bliss
c 2008

Close your eyes
Visualize
Observe as your dreams
And realities coincide

Dive the depths
Into the ocean
Far from all the senseless commotion

Into the sweetest of silence inside

We just need to remember this day
Remember it this way always

When we went to a place full of love
A space where there was nowhere else to go

Go see the world
You will never regret it
But don’t forget that
the limitlessness you seek

exists

inside

A Discourse on the Heart

A couple of days ago I was visiting the campus of a just completed junior college not far from my home to see some people and as I was walking thru the buildings noticing all the brand new stuff that had been installed – furniture, windows, water fountains, stair railings, vending machines it struck me that every class room and office also had a shiny new computer. I started thinking about it – how ubiquitous computers have become in our lives. They’re basically another appliance like a refrigerator or a dishwasher, it occurred to me, but instead of keeping the milk cool or washing the dishes this appliance “thinks”.

It also occurred to me that the computer is essentially a model of our own brain – that we have invented it to enhance and enlarge what goes on inside our own noggin – we instruct it to remember, calculate, send and receive data and do a myriad of tasks quickly and accurately.

In fact the argument could be made that our mind too is a digital device. It operates by comparing and contrasting. There are always two things – life and death, yes and no, light and dark, day and night and of course all the shades of conditionality in between.

Breath Within Breath

awesome sun
you cradle my brow
your soften my face
you breathe my name

majestic sky
you whisper my shape
you extend my vision
you guide my arms
you hug my heart

soft rain
you drench my skin
you fill my thirsty heart
you drown me in music
you moisten my parched smile

breath within breath
you guide me, ride me
inside me you slide me
along this majestic
tunnel of time
this tunnel of love
this surreal rainbow
that blesses my life
from above….

Time Will Say

Time Will Say

Time will say
the words

that neither you nor I
communicate

You know that love must win
either way

whether we decide this is the end..
or we find the inner strength to begin again..
time will say

Chorus

Patience has its own private toll road
History’s the price paid as the truth unfolds

in the natural order of living things
while changes spring in everything

Love won’t be intellectualized
in the fiery looks from familiar eyes

Love’s been there since my first sight of you
Since.. my first.. sight of you..

Bridge

Time has a language all its own
with dedicated lines we learn to follow it home

I hear the answers in the beating of my heart
I’d follow the road where we’d never part

This can go either way…
only time will say

Art Of The Eternal Sun

art of the eternal sun
you have touched me
music

all i can hold
all i can be
all i can contain

this spills from silent lips
to waiting ears
the palace of sound
the river of softness
the walkway of substance
the dance of ‘amazing’

art of the eternal sun
you have held me
for a million years
hold me now
hold me again
hold me forever

Moments With You
