Why let new tears drop to the ground

over over old events of the past?

Does sorrow live for ever?

Only grief would have you believe that

There comes a time when grief will pass away

and sorrow will no longer haunt the mind

or the actions of daily life

Why let new tears fall onto the ground?

Look up into the everness of the heart

look down, to the sides of your being

everywhere is the heart

The heart calls all those who wish for life

to come and bathe in the

light of wisdom and humour

why let old tears fall to the ground?

when all things pass away

and mankind is no more

when even the memory of starlight

loses its traces in the depths of space

the heart of all things

will still

beat

life’s rythymn

and sing

like a mother to a child

why let new tears drop to the ground?

each one, single, ample

pristine and full of life

holding history and potential

let your tears be ones of joy

joy for the sanctity of your being

and the beauty

of all that you have been

and shall be

When the sunlight falls upon the waves

carefree and glancing as they lap around the

last remains of a sky scraping tower

the young child from the little boat looks up with wondering eyes

‘who made these things?’ his mother catches his thoughts..

‘men who were like gods, men who fell to the earth and could not get up again’

the child wonders,sad thoughts

trawling a memory of what was once

another world, fingers trailing in water

as fish swirl around the little boat

as by thought it moves silently

across the great saltwater lake

deep in the refracted depths

white whales harvest the plankton

while a serrated moon

hangs tilted in the blue starred night

years pass the child now a man

goes past in a little boat

and his daughter wonders the very same as he once did

a hundred years go past

people pass by they do not see the ruins

they do not know what they are

the ruins

they have slipped

from memory and so they do not exist

The world is full of it…

of anger,

anger is the rage and shame of having no power

anger too can take you to a place of change when it is truly right to be angry

but anger though is impulse, it is not a destination for each of us needs to

go beyond it, to leave its power behind and embrace the power of Love

anger seeks its own demise, its own transformation but can lose

its way to healing

look to the anger within you, see how it moulds your life

and how the anger of others influences your state of being ,

anger can be glamourous, even kind, anger can be generous and also blind

anger seeks its own destruction and understanding

it is the light of extreme dissatisfaction and the voice of fear

ONE:

Wisdom has a sadness of its own, pensive like a cello playing in a soft snow fall

Compassion holds a knowingness that looks into all things with an unblinking eye

Anger seeks to include everyone in its rage of ignorance and self-defeat,

Greed seeks solace in having all it can to bury the oncoming fear

Lust craves a chance at halting mortality and believes in the tempoary as real

Illumination lights only what needs to be illuminated for the awakening of the Self happens in the dark

Loss and learning go together, and love and liberation are good friends.

TWO:

Love was within us before we came and went, love was in the first cosmic form
and fell in the first rainfall, love was within us and will be when we forget that we once dwelt
upon the Earth, love was within the first rising spark of Wisdom and the clear sight of Compassion
and Love took the journey willingly into the dark matter and confusion of the temporal world in order
to evolve back to its own recognition again.

THREE:

The human race is a pathway in which Love plies its course,
a river that flows through time and space
creating diversity and matter, consciousness and place,
perception and awakening and the nature of living light
Love has made the chance for Life
when it embraced itself openly with Light,

for Love and Life make Light and from that all things are:

for in Light, Consciousness takes form

shrouding Love’s constant breath
and in that come the two eternal seasons, mortal life and mortal death
two great teachings of Love and Light
by which the Cosmos and Consciousness descend and create form

Mystery,

our life is full of mystery

Beauty,

our life is full of beauty

the mystery brings us understanding

the beauty brings us vision

the mystery reminds us of the sanctity

the beauty calls us to be whole

the mystery is a prompt

the beauty a reminder

of how our humanity

is a pathway

to the divine

in each

of us

mystery and beauty

voices within

faces of

compassion

wisdom

and

humour

and you

can find

a direct

experience

of them

by knowing

the laughter

that dwells

in the

essence

of

everything

you experience

Take A Walk Across the Land

Take a walk across the land,

or down the street, extend your hands,

feel the human pulse in all that is there

step back do you feel fear?

Take a walk across your life, or down the memories that make

the landscapes in your mind, through the crowded market place of emotions

and through the long rememberings of the longing heart,

extend you hands

..feel the human pulse in all that is there…

do you feel love?

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

2

The Sound of a Single Note

Each of us remains too frightened in our daily lives,

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

there are harmonic rhapsodies in the faces of love and fear,

call to them,

like the Pied Piper of Hamlyn

or the Snake Charmer of Lucknapoor ,

they will come scuttling to the tune,

fear comes like a horde of rats

because fear is stronger in a crowd and more curious,

love will come willingly for love is willing

and not because the piper calls but that

love knows that piper in order to heard needs to be followed

until the day that the piper casts the pipe away

Love and fear harmonic interplay

you can travel world on a single note

from future to the past and

the illusion of now

extend your hands and feel the human pulse

3

The Finder is Not the Knower

we are born to meander through the human pulse

in search of meaning and the celebration of our Self

If you seek to look for God or the answers to your life

stop and feel the human pulse

for all the names of God are found

in the human world in the beating heart and it essence

if you seek to be comforted, the comfort that is

within is to be reflected in the creation of friendship

if you seek for answers to your life then stop to know

the way of how you love and why you do

then give it up and you

will find the truth

whatever you may search for will be found

but on finding it then you must understand

understanding is the discoverer and explorer too

been the finder is not the knower

You may find God, You may find Meaning

You may find Love, You may find fame

Finding is not the Knowing

to know we must give up what we have found

to understand we must give up meaning

to have meaning we must give up all our prejudice

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

Unknown

In the world and in our heart there is the

divine, unknown, we seek to find a way to love

which will lead to us been known.

but all things return to the unknown

and the emergent

when you feel alone and lonely

separate and unknown

pause and offer up these states of being

as imperfect prayers to the unknown

and you will find that the

Cosmos and its Descent

will be falling within and up

bathing you in the Unknown

We are the Unknown

the lonely and the content

we are the journey and the last coin spent

we are the meaning and dreaming

and the reflections through human experience

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

5

What We Have Now is Also This

All is offering and acceptance

seeking its own delight

all our bitterness is a call for this

all our love and suffering too

what we have now is also this

what we seek is in the seeking

we fall in love with ourselves

this is what we seek

what we have now in the essence of our being

is what we had in the first impulse of our coming into being

we are reflections through human experience

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

6

With a Single Constant Breath Make Ourselves Again

Give up the patterns of your thoughts

the past, wherefores and whys

go beyond comparisons

beyond truth and lies

through the furnace of awakening

through the glamour of illusion

go beyond to

the one unspoken word

there is no this or that

there is no us or them

there is no good or bad

for the Cosmos and its Descent

only moves to find its way

a sunset and sunrise

a moonset and moonrise

fleeting light on fleeting lives

starlight, lovelight, carlights

there is

Awake and be kind to your heart

look out around you

to the mind field, that pattern which you call your life

there the mind field is a vast skein of light

harmonic interludes that create day, birth, night, death

and eternity

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

when the world is at last, swept away ,we will gather up the dust

and with a single constant breath

make our selves again in the image of our being

our creation will be

reflections through human and divine experience

The First Fist is held high and states aloud, “If you enter into my territory I will defend myself and the consequence will be yours!’

This fist defends territory and the consequences engulf everyone. Territory eventually falls. Boundaries and borders may change but still keep their resilience.

The Second First is held high and states aloud, ” If you do not give me what I regard as mine I will take it from you!’

This fist is afraid and has no trust of the world.

This fist is afraid of aggression but is driven by what it fears most.

The Third Fist is held high and states aloud, ” If you try to take from others or from me I will use all reasonable force to protect my interests and those who I protect.”

This fist believes in the politics of the protector to get what is wants.

All of these three fists believe they are fair, just and compassionate. But all of exact huge costs, people, culture and environment, the present and the future are all altered.

The Fourth Fist is held high and states aloud , ” Look..my fist is unfolding to be a gesture of peace and friendship, join me.”

This fist seeks nothing but unity and cooperation.

It is stronger than the other three but has less attraction, for peace has no glamour or conquest, other than love for all that you fear the most and all that invades and seeks to change what you regard as yours.

Look at the World today, where do you see these four fists being held high?

Banners of human flesh on a strong and forceful wind.

What will You do when you can not put gas into your car?

What will You do when you can not buy your food at the supermarket?

What will you do if you can not find any water clean enough to drink?

What will you do when the lights go out?

What will you do if your software fails?

What will you do if all that you know suddenly falls apart?

What will you do?

What will you do when the rain fall burns your skin?

What will you do when the rain stops falling?

What will you do when the rain pours down day and night ?

What will you do when the last glacier evaporates?

What will you do when all the knowhow of all that you take for granted is meaningless and cannot save you?

What will you do?

Stand in the light of your own being and try not to be afraid, that is what you can do

When the Zoo gets raided for the meat in the cages what will you do?

When everyone around you is in despair what will you do?

Stand in the light of your being and try not to be afraid, that’s what you can do ..

Start now and learn how to know what to do,

Stand in the light of your being and try not to be afraid

Trust the cycle of spiritual unfoldment in the world

This is the sad time of the World versus the Earth, when there needs to be no competition

When the Earth asks you, and that day will come, what did you do? What will your answer be?

The World has no answer and no question. That is why many do not know what to do.

There are two species of humanity, one dwells within The World

The other dwells with the Earth..the choice is , what will you do?

Millions of people use e-mail and the internet, but do they understand how it works…?

Lives rise and fall on a virtual tide, an invisible process, one powered by thought, imagination and huge resources, which will not last forever.

People I think often feel disassociated in and by Internet use.

They hide behind aliases and false names

and do not really enter into communication..

communities are created on the web,

but they can be virtual ghettos.

We need to understand how to communicate and imagine

that we are in a face to face conversation with the person

we are communicating with,

even if its an organization or impersonal construct.

The Internet is full of fear, and Google is just a machine, it does not know what is true or not, it processes and replicates.

But what happens when the algorithms behind the web hit critical mass?

Yes a mathematical identity, which an algorithm is ,will come to an end.. the constructs of the Web are influenced by all the emotional forces that are poured into it.

Every time we use the web we also get a wash of those emotional forces.

Every internet user leaves their emotional mark.

Identity gets mixed up and mutated if we buy into the emotionality that pervades the net.

Ask your self how do you change when you send e-mails, use chat rooms or MySpace or Facebook, Bebo or anything similar.

Think how you change? Why do you use the Internet?

How has it made you view yourself and the world?

The Internet is a virtual world,

still unexplored in its full impact on societies everywhere,

and the pollution that is on it, in the form of hatred, pornography and bigotry will seep out through users and through its very existence into the everyday world .

The internet can be a good thing but at the same thing we need to respect it

as if were part of the Planet Earth otherwise like the Earth now,

having global warming and other forms of eco system collapse,

so to will this happen to the Internet.

Create something positive and put it out on the Net,

send out compassion, communication and humanity.
