The singing bell
vibrating freely
sending its energy of love
out into the atmosphere
to dance and
land where it is needed.
May I live a clean
intentional life
just like the bell.
Giving freely
the peace that flows
through me
not of me.
Let the peace dance
out into the atmosphere
and land where it is needed.

We are beings of wisdom
wearing a coat of delusion
all too often.
Slough it off, don’t take it up.
The wisdom being has no need
of this coat.
We are not here to sort out the
troubles of the world (mine and yours)
in order to experience future happiness.
We are here to know and realise
happiness here
in every moment.
We are here to know and realise
freedom available
in every situation.
We are not here to collect moments
of enlightenment
like spiritual shopping.
We are here to know Oneness
is the essence in which everything
moves, behaves, rises and falls.
We are beings of wisdom
shaking off our coats of delusion.

A woodland burial
a joyful celebration
a hay barn full of love
a hay barn full of grief
a request to wear purple
a bell and a poem
a favourite piece of music
a hillside full of space
a family in loss
a family held in love
a clear bright sky
a gorgeous setting sun
a cry of geese
a symbol of Sangha
a flowering cherry tree
a joyful celebration
a reminder to live
a reminder to love

What will emerge?
Whatever it is
trust
all will be well.
I'm eager to meet you
eager to hear you
to discover our connection
our mutual understanding.
I feel your eagerness too.
We stand together
in a place of love
listening to the open silence
in which everything is held
nothing can harm it
or interrupt it.
We stand together
in an endless, limitless
place of love.
