This place-less place

The sound of the bell
flows on and on
and I follow.
It’s sound gently dissipates
into quiet emptiness
full of attention
and heartsease.
How to describe
this place-less place?
Feeling is not adequate.
The bell leads me home
where questions adorn the trees
as beautiful garlands.
Possibilities spring from the earth
as gorgeous flowers.
The qualities of contentment and ease
vibrate on the breeze.
The sound of the bell
gently tugs my heartstrings
opening, releasing, allowing.
Welcoming joyfulness sings
from every leaf.
This place-less place
immediately recognisable
completely comfortable
uncontainable.
This place-less place
where I am known
and know myself
whole
requiring nothing
absolutely free.

Arriving and completeness

 Here we are in the midst of both
growth and fullness.
No beginning, no end.
In this moment
there is both
arriving and completeness.
Each seed contains
the whole cosmos
both new life and fullness.
Conditions allow
a miracle to arise
so mundane we may miss it
without eyes to see
and hearts to acknowledge.
Each One contains everything
Each One contains All.
An indication of connectedness
and interconnection.
We are all woven into
a web of life
moving and growing together.
Inter-nourishing.

In this moment
there is both
arriving and completeness.

What is the song of today

What is the song of today?
Each day a new song
filled with kindness and ease.

What do I need to fulfil?
How do I nourish myself
this day?

What is the song of today?

It combines
silence, connection, understanding.
It ends resting in the knowledge
I am a free being
nothing to achieve
nothing to prove.

What is the song of today?
it’s refrain echoes
and repeats.
I am a free being.

Each day a new song
ending with silence.

All is well

 Joining in
with a body already breathing
joining in
with mediation always vibrating.

There is no doer
no being
to begin and end meditation.

Pure awareness is the essence
in which the world and all creation
moves, lives, flows.

Space is a description
of the quality present in meditation.

The space
alive, singing, vibrating
tangible in the heartspace
recognisable as peace and
deep contentment.

All is well.

Always returning to source

 Is it an arc or a circle?
Always returning to source
always beginning afresh.
Learning anew what heart already knows.
A secret whispered on the wind
shining in the light of the sun.
To see only an arc is not to achieve fullness.
The circle is a true descriptor
no beginning, no end.
Alive in each moment
always returning to source.

Enjoy a simple life

Go where the wind blows you.
Follow where the sun beckons you.
Hear the tempting fragrances calling you.
Heed the pull of hum and buzz.
Move with the arc of the sun.
Let the energies play.
Enjoy a simple life.

Go with the flow of energy
awakening, growth, stretching,
blossoming, fullness, ease
rest, sleep, new growth.

Lean into insights and wisdom.
Lean into joy, beauty, wonder.
Find ways of being at ease.
Enjoy a simple life.

I is always free

 I is always I
whether we clothe it as Me
or know it as I.
I is always free
the mind’s claims as me
reduces it to bondage.
I rests in being
open and spacious
mind creates a doer
bound and limited.
Let I do the work
play the many different parts
all the while remaining free
and uninvolved.
I is always free.
