this moment in daylight
In my living room
observing trees in the backyard
beyond living room and deck

sensing a connection to nature
hearing the sound of the typing
sounds of the air and nature
intermingled with shades of sight

fingers moving thoughts converging
bringing me to the presence
shadows of tree trunks on my deck
dancing with the light

critters chirping airplanes soaring
vehicles raging by on the street
sending me the sounds
of their existence

thus i am content to be sharing
this moment with all who are
being in the moment on their own
may all be well with all beings

Seven has followed me all along
Seven loves unrolling to reveal
Seven  doesn't leave my body
Seven doesn't leave my soul

Seven energy centers
Seven blocks of the centers
Seven virtues that open them
Seven times seventy opportunities

Contemplating on Seven
Complete surrender comes
Carrying this forward
Caring to uphold the lessons

Seven, from you I may yet learn
Seven, it is to you I owe
Seventy times Seven expanded
Serene is the understanding

Relative are relations
Relations evolve over time
Relations permeate into other relations
Relations relative to the relations

Fleeting are these relations
Life giving are these relations
Eye opening are these relations
Knowing of self through these relations

Ask questions in relations
Seek meaning in relations
View discerning in relations
Enter into communion in relations

Maintain relations with honor
Modify relations when there is dishonor
Marvel at relations when they teach
Magnify the self knowing through relations

There are those who terrorize
There are those victims
There are those who ignore
There are those who love less

If more people loved
If more people awoke
The terrorists will put down weapon
The victims will shift pattern

What are we waiting for
We have this moment
To send a thought
To send a prayer

To end this madness
To end this dual
That blinded humanity
To not see within the divinity

Longing to be loved
Longing to be touched
Longing to be caressed
Longing to be held

Breathing to be alive
Breathing to be calmed
Breathing to be blessed
Breathing to be found

Permitting to be loved
Permitting to be touched
Permitting to be caressed
Permitting to be held

Knowing I was always loved
Knowing I was always touched
Knowing I was always caressed
Knowing I was always held

Accepting the experience of love
Accepting the experience of touch
Accepting the experience of caress
Accepting the experience of being held
