“Art is the conversation between lovers.
Art offers an opening for the heart.
True art makes the divine silence in the soul break into applause.”
“I wish I could show you,
When you are lonely or in darkness,
The Astonishing Light
Of your own Being!”
“Light will someday split you open; even if your life is now a cage.”
Hafiz
"I have learned so much from God that
I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.
The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that
I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul.
Love has befriended me so completely it has
turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known."

Only
That Illumined
One
Who keeps
Seducing the formless into form
Had the charm to win my
Heart.
Only a Perfect One
Who is always
Laughing at the word
Two
Can make you know
Of
Love.

falling through
reading Basho’s
haiku from 1667
listening to the snow
falling softly
right through
this
shining
shell of a body,
so delicate,
filled with light.
A fiery red leaf
surrenders to
wind and
perfect gravity
with a sigh
the stream below
waiting with
open arms for
this long lost
love
so much intimate tenderness
holding this fragile,
infinite creation
as One.
the tree
the leaf
the stream
the cloud
the snow
the starry firmament
this silent
bowing earth
all
profoundly in love
with each other,
with your luminous body
and
this simple
radiant
Presence.
if
if I were to tell you
the truth of
who you are
whisper absolutely
Nothing
in your sweet ear
it would break
your tender heart
wide-open
and all your fear,
longing, belief,
and fractured joy
would fly wild
out of your mouth
like bright
silver ash
floating skyward
weightless
taking their place
as shimmering stars
i would do that
with my dying breath
leave this
husk
of bone and
blood
behind
but I can’t...
no combination of words
or sweet singing
will set beautiful
and free
you
who have never
been bound, nor
apart
always radiant,
always
completely
One
with all This.

Awakening or enlightenment is not an understanding of the mind.
In fact, it is beyond the mind and all the tools of the intellect, like words and concepts.
Awakening is a fundamental shift in the perceptual framework of how Being, Infinite Consciousness, experiences itself through a flavor or point that prior appeared as a limited individual, but now is the One presence, which has always been.
Nothing has changed. Everything has changed. Changed beyond words.
Sunday Silent Satsang
Please join us for a silent sitting in presence
Sundays, at 430. via Zoom.
A simple thirty minute meditation in the infinite Oneness, that you are, beyond time and space.
No teaching, no techniques, just simple Allowing of what Is, to simply be, together.
Now, more than ever we need to connect and celebrate the love and stillness that is our essential nature.
We begin sitting at 430 and end around 5 with a bell.
Please sign up for the newsletter to receive the details weekly
See you on Sunday.
in
Joy

This simple moment, this beautiful Now, that we are sharing, is the only time that has ever been, or will ever be. ... Your true Nature is here. Always. Awakened consciousness is all there is.
Winter, spring summer, fall...what never changes? The stillness, the silence that you are.
Simple grace.
Just as you are.
Be with that.
"The impulse to create art is the same impulse that created this magnificent world.
It is the exact same force that creates universe, planet, tree, poem, song, painting, dance.
This deep-rooted desire to create and express within us is the impulse of Awareness,
our True Nature, to know itself through becoming, expansion, and Joy.
All art is this Joy in action; from the finite to the infinite and back again,
from silence to symphony and back to stillness.
From the deeply personal to the universal."
Scott Morgan
This is a repost about my work from the breathtaking blog by Miriam Louisa Simons;
Miriam has created the most beautiful, deep, passionate and well-researched treasure chest of writing and art, about Awakening, Nonduality and the artistic process on the planet. It is a continual inspiration to thousands of seekers around the globe.
