Connected to the roots of my being
I am strong

Now I can dance in the wind
giving in to its playful caresses
And when the rains pour
I can let myself be drenched

Now I can be the leaf that falls
and the branch that withers
And when spring rolls around
I can let myself be reborn

Knowing, being, what I am
I am stable
Now this body can be supple
and sweet

Stillness and movement as one

Birthing and dying as one

Knowing myself as the unknown

AFTERNOON

There Is Room in the Heart
- Ameeta

What distresses you
my friend?

Isn't it mostly
what your mind says
should not be?

The mind says
it should not be
and yet it is.

There is room
you know
there is room
in the heart
for what the mind
won't allow.

(no people on beach either direction
the whole time i was there this afternoon!)

There is room
in the heart
for what the mind
can't understand.

There is room
in the heart
for every
contradiction
and conflict
for every pair
of opposites
to co-exist.

No no
shouts the mind again
it is wrong
and I won't allow it.

There is room
in the heart
for all of
shouting mind.

There is room
in the heart
for reality
as it is.

Recognize
your open heart
my friend
and receive life here.

Receive life
in this home of love
and know your heart
as the birthplace
of everything.

The Sandōkai
The Mind of the Great Sage of India
Flowed unseen from west to east.
And kept true to the source -- a clear stream unsullied.
By variables of wit and dullness:
The true way has no patriarch of south or north.

Born, we clutch at things
And later compound our delusion by following ideals.
Each sense gate and its object:
Dependence and nondependence --
Entering together into mutual relations
And yet standing apart in their own uniqueness.

Component things differing deeply in form and feel,
The voices -- soft and harsh in inherent isolation.
High and middle are words matching the darkness,
And light separates the murky phrase from the pure.

The characteristics of the four elements draw together
Like a child returning to its mother.

The heat of fire, the moving wind,
The water, wet, and the solid earth;
Eyes to see, sounds to hear, and smells --
The sour and salty taste on the tongue.

But in each related thing,
As leaves grow from roots,
End and beginning return to the source.

"High" and "low" are used respectively:
Within light there is darkness,
But you cannot explain it by one-sided darkness alone;
Within darkness there is light,
But you cannot understand it only by one-sided light.

Light and darkness go with each other
Like the sequence of steps in walking.

All things have inherent potentiality:
Both function and rest reside within.

With the actual comes the ideal
Like a box and its lid;
With the ideal comes the actual
Like two arrows meeting in mid-air.

Understand the basic truth from these words
And do not set up your own standards.

In sense experience,
if you do not know the basic truth,
How can you find the right path
no matter how much you walk?

As you walk further
the distinction between near and far disappears,
And if you become lost,
obstructing mountains and rivers arise.

This I offer to the seekers of truth:
Waste no time.

AFTERNOON

A Little Kick in Thought’s Arse
I watched
A thought collapse
Like a deflated
Christmas decoration
I didn’t re-inflate that one
But soon
Others drifted through

I see my head
More as a sieve
Than a lidded saucepan
A variably temporary
Repository
For the restlessness
Of thoughts
Until....

Bored with insufficient attention
They ignominiously
Wander off

This and That

I have felt like Alice, tumbling down the well
Grabbing at what is offered
Trying a bit of this
Then countering
The unexpected consequences
With a little bit of that
Directionless, distraction filled
Inconsequential life
Dragged through various emotions
by random thought fragments
Painful, shameful, anxiety ridden
Glimpses of inner peace with the exquisiteness of nature
Or sitting with friends in silent witnessing
Or an occasional random gift of grace
filling with light and joy
I don’t want to isolate myself from the outer
Somehow a simultaneous living in both
Has to be
Not a shuffling back and forth or even a quick step
Some kind of silent infusion of inner to outer
Center to periphery
So all is absorbed

Like a plop
In a pond

Was looking for something else in Archived Word Files.....and THIS below re: Chameleons Surfaced......
...................so TIMELY for today, too!!!!
Excerpt from dmm PC Word Files...:
Documents/1 Evils Tender Kiss Addendums 2015.11.29
***********

Chameleons embody that famous quote
by Ralph Waldo Emerson,
"Adopt the pace of Nature. Her secret is patience."

How so?
Well, as far as lizards go, the chameleon is quite slow.
It doesn't skitter around in a flash,
but rather takes its own pace.
It doesn't rush, it doesn't scramble.
Why not?
Well, it seems the chameleon instinctively knows
that all things come in their own good time.

Chameleons are known for going long periods without food. Their slower pace allows them to conserve energy.
In essence, this quaint creature understands
that the next opportunity is coming - so why rush?

This is a huge symbolic lesson for us modern-day humans. The chameleon reminds us that Nature provides.
It reminds us to stop pushing and rushing to grab and get. Rather, be connected,
stay tuned with the rhythms of Nature
- our opportunity will come -
if only we are patient and confident
our reward will come to us
in that perfect moment of calm expectancy.

4:29 AM-12/2/2019

Within, past all that was not my Essence I Journeyed,
Until I, and all that existed, Vanished utterly,
And somehow, impossibly…
I Remained, not as “I”, but Existence Itself.
And Returning, I saw that it had been as I’d thought,
For the Ecstasy of Being is simply the Nature,
Of
what we Are, before we are.

In the Garden of The Beloved

You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving."
The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in
your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold
is to perish. Surely he who is worthy to receive his days
and his nights, is worthy of all else from you.
And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life
deserves to fill his cup from your little stream.

See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver,
and an instrument of giving.
For in truth it is life that gives unto life while you,
who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.

AFTERNOON

The principle of life and the principle of death
constantly manifest themselves
throughout all of nature and,
consequently, in human beings too.

As soon as a foetus is formed
within a mother’s womb,
the principle of death begins to fight against
the principle of life.
Its action is limited at first –
it is the spirit that triumphs.

But later on,
once the spirit has succeeded
in carrying out its projects within a person,
it gradually leaves their body.

Everything that is born must die,
this is a law.
It is impossible to conquer
the principle of destruction,
but we are not obliged to submit to it.

When old age is upon us,
when we lose our strength and our physical means,
we must tell ourselves that now, more than ever,
is the time to seek out other activities.

For there are always other tasks
and other sources of joy
for those who know how
to dig deep within themselves
in order to bring forth
their spiritual energy,
and
this energy is boundless.

The great thing is, or should be, love of truth.
I know there is nothing more precious
than the bond of charity
created by communicating and sharing the truth.
This is my whole life.

3:16 AM-12/1/19

You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come to take you back.
Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.
Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.
Be excessively gentle with yourself.

AFTERNOON

JUST TO THE RIGHT OF SAND DUNES PATH TO BEACH

How the Day Keeps Us - John O'Donohue

No one knew the name of this day;
Born quietly from deepest night.
It hid its face in light,
Demanded nothing for itself,
opened out to offer each of us
A field of brightness that traveled ahead,
Providing in time, ground to hold our footsteps
And the light of thought to show the way.

The mind of the day draws attention;
It dwells within the silence with elegance
To create a space for all our words,
Drawing us to listen inward and outward.

We seldom notice now each day is a holy place
Where the Eucharist of the ordinary happens,
Transforming our broken fragments
into an eternal continuity that keeps us.

Somewhere in us a dignity presides
That is more gracious than the smallness
That fuels us with fear and force,
A dignity that trusts the form a day takes.

So at the end of this day, we give thanks
For being betrothed to the unknown
And for the secret work
Through which the mind of the day
And wisdom of the soul become one.

There is greater comfort in the substance of silence
than in the the answer to a question.

Carl Gustav Jung:
The Red Book, Liber Novus
How an existential crisis
precipitated an artistic masterpiece

*******

Despite the emotional turmoil that plagued Jung,
forcing him to resort to yoga practices
and even clinging on to the table
in order to keep himself together,
he persevered in compiling
his artistic and literary magnum opus,
knowing that the very salvation
of his own soul was at stake.
(excerpts below)

My soul spoke to me in a whisper, urgently and alarmingly: ‘Word, words, do not make too many words.
Be silent and listen:
have you recognized your madness
and do you admit it?

Have you noticed that all your foundations
are completely mired in madness?
Do you not want to recognize your madness
and welcome it in a friendly manner?
You wanted to accept everything.
So accept madness too.

Let the light of your madness shine,
and it will suddenly dawn on you.
Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared,
but instead you should give it life …

If you want to find paths,
you should also not spurn madness,
since it makes up such a great part of your nature …
Be glad that you can recognize it,
for you will thus avoid becoming its victim.

Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings
to all teachings and philosophies,
but even more to daily life,
since life itself is full of craziness
and at bottom utterly illogical.

Man strives toward reason
only so that he can make rules for himself.

Life itself has no rules.
That is its mystery and its unknown law.
What you call knowledge
is an attempt to impose
something comprehensible on life.
--C. G. Jung,
The Red Book, Liber Novus
