I make no room
In my heart
For hate
In my heart
For hate

Unconfined Light
I remind myself
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is only light
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is only light
And the tunnel
Is only the sum of my fears
Confining me
Devotion
I wonder
Sometimes
At my devotions
Sometimes
At my devotions
Could I have been better
At this or at that
Had I offered more devotion
But of all the this
And all the that
Just two devotions have mattered
Mountain Climbing
And there they are
The fabled range
Faded in the distant haze
Peaks too far to reach today
The fabled range
Faded in the distant haze
Peaks too far to reach today
More this:
The journey here
Intends to scale
The mountains of
My inner life
In these foothills, at Rishikesh
Being Home
On the journey home
I began to understand
How much, in that moment
Home was where I wanted to be
I began to understand
How much, in that moment
Home was where I wanted to be
Not for its familiarity
Nor for its comforts
Nor even its dull grey beauty
But for its being
An integral part
Of my being
Going Light
My power drained
The darkness came
And in this isolated
Night of the soul
I must seek the light
Within
The darkness came
And in this isolated
Night of the soul
I must seek the light
Within
Tenuous ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #70
I walk the tenuous path
Connecting here and now to other
Mindful of the tides
And time
Knowing
Not all explorations bear fruit
So I plan my return
With equal care
Connecting here and now to other
Mindful of the tides
And time
Knowing
Not all explorations bear fruit
So I plan my return
With equal care
Moving forward, sometimes
Requires stepping backward
To reconnoitre
To reconsider
To recenter on the here and now
So the paths to possible others
May emerge
Clarity
Most days
Cloud obscures the sun
Wind unsettles the landscape
Rain douses the spirit
Cloud obscures the sun
Wind unsettles the landscape
Rain douses the spirit
On such days
I strive for clarity
For the deepest answers
For the deepest questions
For the deepest experience
Balance and a Friendly Light
I find balance
In a complex sky
Above a simple sea
In a complex sky
Above a simple sea
I find my way
Through the narrow channel
Guided by a friendly light
The Entangled Path
I seek the path to awareness
Reminding myself
The way through
Entanglement and attachment
Is not easily cleared
Reminding myself
The way through
Entanglement and attachment
Is not easily cleared
I carry compassion
A torch to light my way
Through the darkness of unseeing
I wield mindfulness
A blade to cut my way
Through the brambles of being
