A Cup Half Full


The assortment of colors all moving in their rightful place
The roads of love pave the way for relaxed walking
The garden of fresh fruit and sweet smelling flowers all around
Seeking a piece of understanding, surpassing material knowledge

Feeling good and encouraged even in the face of contradiction
The winds of variation pouring out the foremost breath
Wonder and amazement skipping the lines of manifested appearance
Playing out the pastime of dissolution and rejuvenation

A Cup Half Empty


Emptiness, doubt and low self worth
These are the seeds of a heart half grown in stature
The waves crashing along the shoreline
The complete collapse of a vital life system

Here are the words of despair and rage
Singing like a bird caught in the blooming flower of life
The gardener sows as the wind blows down onto the plains
Life springs forth and consumes all manner of materials

Dancing To The Beat Of Life

How does it feel to dance? The joy and excitement of moving your body to the rhythm of the beat. Your heart beat is synced with the beat of the music, and then something happens to you and makes you get lost in the song. You let your body move without you even thinking about what to do next. You all have a favorite song or melody and when you hear it, it makes you lose control and give in to the beat. This is the story of your eternal play with manifested creation. This is your story of how you take lemons and make lemonade.

You are remembering now how it feels to let go and let the music of life determine how you make your decisions. Life is always there whispering into your ear, telling you to go this way or go that way. This guidance system talks to you through your senses and your emotions. Actually all of life is this guidance system, set up here long, long ago. The practice of acceptance and non- judgment are ways to train yourself to see into this wider reality of life. These levels of consciousness or awareness are like different windows in a building looking outside onto the world.
