can we cleanse our inner vision until we see only the light?

~

practice not-doing and everything falls into place…

~

yes, after a day of wandering into wonder, i have arrived, i am home… in the present moment, the enspirited soulful self…

~

in the present moment, the only moment

free of  fear, opinion, judgement, rigidity, history…

open, a hollow reed one with creativity creating creation

on fire with curiosity, loving unfolding mystery, listening to still waters drawing us deeper and deeper, witnessing vast  cosmic sky more and more expansively

home to the heart of presence

the stillpoint of creation

where there’s only

dancing mystery

~

thanks for walking home together…

Named Freely Flowing 20 Arriving Home Metolius River 11-7 and 11-8-15 051

i have arrived, i am home in the eternal now, this present moment…

 to live simply and wholeheartedly in a willow tree who offers her branches freely as resting space for great mystery to breathe us sacredly…

here, in this home of flow, this openhearted place of welcome, perch and listen for the hum, vibrational tune of whispering wind, spirit waves of spiraling notes… singing of love and devotion across the many splendored vast wild ocean of ever changing being… always different, always the same…

in this place of deep repose, i hear waters falling home, singing of a secret joy deep within, always present in the moment, listen to source and tune within to the music of the spheres, haunting melody animating all, cosmic harmony ringing out a call…

in this moment, our one heart’s a tree providing belonging space for you and for me to sing our soul song of mystery… many voices, one frequency… multiversed universiddhi…  shanti, shanti, shantihi…

Do not dwell in the past, do not do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

today is the quintessential celebration of arriving home in the present moment… a journey that’s sixty-six years of moments in the making… a journey of realeyesing the journey is the destination, the desined place of being home in the present moment wherever we are….

thousandfold thanks, beloveds, for our walking home together in this moment, this beautiful moment, this one and only moment, this eternal moment…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 327 – 11/8/2015

Named Namaste November 8 Metolius River 11-7 and 11-8-15 051

this weekend i was treated to a re-treat weekend on the metolius river by and with my beautiful daughter… divinely orchestrated, we traveled down valley on route 22, the number of grace, through clouds pouring forth waterfalls of life until we began ascending the cascades… we traveled as if we were going to a come as you are party with only the clothes on our back and an open attitude of organic presence in the emptiness of now…

we reach the headwaters of the metolius at wizard falls in the early afternoon and it’s amazing to see this river flowing from a hill and to join in the rhythm of the rushing waters lulled by the lapping of the current to coming home to this moment, this beautiful moment…

crossing the threshold of our cabin in the woods on the banks of the metolius and entering our home sweet home, we are met with messages to enjoy this moment and simplify… what a pleasure and joy to swim in this stream in this moment, in every moment, always arriving home…
