Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 10 – Day 208 – 7/12/2023

THE INNER IS FOUNDATION OF THE OUTER
THE STILL IS MASTER OF THE RESTLESS
THE SAGE TRAVELS ALL DAY
YET NEVER LEAVES HER INNER TREASURE.”

“Empty yourself of everything.  Let the mind rest at peace.  The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return… Returning to the Source is stillness, which is the way of Nature.”

  ~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching ~

in this sacred moment of eternity celebrating the astonishing light of our interbeing and honoring the movement of great turning calling us to come home to the silence of our one heart, i am re-treating around the eternal flame in a dark dream cave where a peaceful stream flows… it is as if i’m in a float tank sans outer sensory stimulation… i re-member five decades ago experiencing a great awakening after real-eye-sing original sin is separation and immediately seeing a clear vision of true reality as the original blessing of oneness… yes, LaoTzu, many thousands and thousands of miles have i traveled in the intervening turns ‘round the sun yet never leaving this inner treasure…

eight years ago on this very day, i am in a parallel rhythm metaphorically floating in the dark in a flotation tank where i begin a lucid cycling journey following behind on my bike the divine child named bliss and her father on their bicycles… i carry my singing bowl in one of my arms and i come to a space where i must stop… here, i begin a wondrous journey exploring open heart u, a dream i’ve been incubating many moons… how much fun to wander these grounds. to meet people who are drawn to be in beloved community, a sangha of the one heart of boundless love where i connect with so many other dog star offspring here on planet in this moment to guide in the opening of inner vision, intuition, to truly serve metaphorically as seeing eye dogs shining light along the pathless path…

holy synchronicity, batwoman! now, 8 years later i am living the same dream albeit this time around it is in an awakened dreamweave as today begins my 11 days of stopping the world and being wu wei to explore and surrender ever more deeply to open heart u… and like the bat people, i hang upside down in the pose of rebirth as still as pythia, the psychedelphic serpent, whispered to me to be as the way of being one with rainbow mystery… it is done, blessed bee, we are humming our way into rainbow mystery…
