Love’s Body

The deeper love’s bond, the deeper 

the pain of loss.

Whether from death, abandonment,

betrayal, or abuse,

grief surges in the body,

at times unstoppable.

Yet the body incarnates God’s bliss-filled nature.

How to reconcile this contradiction?

You are not this dream of loss.

You are God watching you suffer

from a story you keep repeating.

One day, you will step out of your dream into Creation

to inhabit a body of love, joy, and wonder.

Perhaps one purpose of pain in this lifetime is

transcending the dream.

Was that part of your plan?

Choose Heaven

Be a mystic.

Choose Heaven on Earth.

Befriend the conscious beings

known as plants and animals, rocks and mountains.

Love unconditionally.

Dance with Creation.

Reach for the divine hidden behind walls of thought.

Transformed perception, 

not politics or religious belief,

will be our path home.

You Are Part of the Miracle

Countless billions of organisms inhabit the living Earth,

creating, birthing, evolving,

all nourished by

the sun’s energy,

in a cosmos of infinite proportions and inexplicable processes,

yet we argue about politics?

With a brain as miraculous as the cosmos,

stand still and witness this miracle before your eyes.

Creation is not hard to see.

You are an essential part of it.

To See Me, Be Me

To See Me, Be Me

Here’s the ultimate riddle:

“I am everyone,

but no one sees

me. Who am I?”

God.

How can this be?

We see what we imagine…

a “homeless person”

“police officer”

“mother”

“clerk”

“student”

“criminal”

“nurse”

 While we have a backstory for each, we never 

see God behind the masks.

Nor do the figures experience God in themselves.

But wipe clean the “doors of perception,”

remove masks and narratives,

and what a homecoming we would have.

One loving family  

awaking from a long nightmare.

What is the moral here?

God replies,

“You must be me to see me.”

Awaken divine consciousness and the 

face of God will shine in everyone you meet.
