To our conditioned selves
The proposition of our
Thoughts originating beyond
Our limited body and brain
Seems..well..preposterous..
It remains preposterous
Until life circumstances
Render a new Recognition
Slowly or quantum quick
Of What we are...

words
will be made
available as needed..
when understood and
experienced..this is
our unique voice..
trust and silence
in this moment..will
bring fresh words or
fresh patterns..
true artists know this
and are grateful for
their teachers..but know
they have graduated...!

a poem enters
is recorded and exits..
recorded Now..and
in readings afterward
the reading colors the Now
but not in the colors
of the recorded poem..
yet both the
writing and reading
express the
ever-present Now...

First the suffering which
Is our many disguises is
Hiding our Self..
It is Grace attempting
To Awaken our Self
To our true Identity..
Grace in the circumstance
And in the conditioning
And in the distress
Calling us home..

A king's experience
Of Self discovery..
In a waking.. perhaps
A sleeping dream..
That doesn't matter..
His dream character
Daniel announced in
The midst of the king's
Anguish..of living forever..
The king's real Self
Recognized..with the
Dissolving of the lions
And the den and Daniel...
