Suddenly past memories
Rose up as turbulent waves
In the ocean of my heart

An avalanche of tears
Arrived as showers
Upon my eyes

Old tears mixed with the new ones
Leaving me
Wondering
Which ones are more salty?

I wonder what secret
The trees whisper to the breeze?
Do the birds hear that secret
And announce it in their song?

Does the wind hold it
And drop it in the seas?
Does the sea speak it out
And share it with the stars?

Do the heavens then resound
With the secret of the trees?

And the clouds,
Oh yes! Those clouds
Blue, black and grey
Is that why come rushing?

Across the seas to caress
With gentle rain the trees
And whisper,
"Heaven knows your heart,
There are no secrets from God."

The trees smile and sway
Fulfilled and complete in love.

In the cradle of nature
With blooming flowers
And moon beams
Shimmering sun rays
and
butterflies

We too were planted
As seeds of love

By the Universal Being
Of all that is
That was
and
That ever will be.

We travel the world
searching
book to book, blog to blog
Guru to guru, mentor to trainer
Looking, finding, losing

Ultimately return
Empty handed

Only to find it all
And then some more
In the secret
smile
of the heart

There is a place high
Up, up above
In the vast blue sky
Yet deep, deep within
The cavern of my being

Silence, light and smiles
Dance together
Nothing happens
Just Is

In giving
Is expansiveness
Truth within

In fear
Is contraction
The mind world
Of desire
Control
And illusion

Let all fade
In the blue ocean
Of silent love

Sometimes you smile at the universe
Offer love, sweetness
Pure energy

Sometimes life smiles back,
Sometimes not

You still keep smiling
In the knowing
That the flower in your heart
Smiles with you

The river of love
from deep within
bubbles with joy
to join
The unending ocean
Of truth, purity and stillness
Eternal silence
In love
In smiles
In sweet gratitude

Stay safe
They say
Yet
How to hide?
From the source
Of all danger

My mind

Churning memories
Whipping up dreams
Dancing jumping
Agonizing, laughing

How to stay safe?

A single breath
A smile
Your name
Lifts me
To silence
Beyond all

Safe
In the embrace
Of Your love

Pitter-patter on parched soil
They don't sit pretty
Like dew drops
On flowers at dawn
They just appear
And
keep on appearing
In the silence of sorrow

The longer the silence
The deeper the sorrow
The saltier the tears

Who can understand or fill
The cracks in my desperate heart?
Broken in love
Cracked open with longing
Except those little streams
Of salty tears
Not pretty like dew drops
Not strong like rain drops

Just salty
Just tears
That share
The silence of sorrow

The best version
Of this moment
happens when we
accept this moment
Just as it is

The smiles and tears
Anger and fears
Arrive and display
The palette of life
We watch and let go
Let the moment be
As still and as best
As only it knows
To be

We remain observers
In the silent stillness
Of love

Watching and accepting
Responding if need be
From love, for love

Come relax and enjoy
Moment by moment
The best version of life
In the silent sweetness of love.

The human heart
Seeks understanding
"There,there, there...."
"Now, now, now...."

The human heart,
Seeks forgiveness,
"It's not your fault."
"I would have done the same."

The human heart,
Seeks love
hugs, smiles and chocolate

The human heart,
Breaks with what is seeks

The human heart
Mends with what it gives

Understanding and love
Forgiveness and hugs
Smiles and flowers

Oh yes!
And chocolates too!

The season of love
My heart blooms
A hundred million jasmine flowers
Rain from heaven
My Lord Hath come

The universe holds me
Tenderly in her arms
Gently caressing me with
What i desire
With holding from me
That which i yearn

Taking away and giving
Life, people, circumstances
Dreams, disappointments, hope
Music, tears and catastrophe

Each a stroke
A melody
A whisper of sweetness
Eternal expansive
A drop of pure love

When i want to have
something
i realize
i lose something
i have

The sun takes the moon away
Youth grabs childhood
Smiles take away tears
And love?
Love the entire universe

Take this universe, my love
And give me
Just once
Your smile divine

The tall tree
with a thousand branches
wishes it was free
to fly
like the birds.

The birds in the sky
wish they could be still
In one place, every day
Get nourished
and grow effortlessly
like the tall tree
with a thousand branches

To be rooted and yet free
To be free and yet centered

The desire of all life
Begins with awareness
And ends in love.

I unclutch
Let go
Of the people, places
And circumstances
In my life

I bless them
To fly
In the horizon of their dreams

I return
To my heart
Silence
Peace
At last

I am a hammer
In your tool shed
You may use me
To hit
one nail or a hundred
or maybe none…

i am waiting
For You
To be in Your hands
Whenever you like
For whatever you need
For something
Or nothing

i am here
Waiting for You
In eternity

We ring bells
Clap our hands
Pray and give thanks

To doctors and nurses
Vegetable sellers
Delivery boys
Tourists and travelers
Urban poor
Rural rich
Railways and buses
Security personnel
Customs officials
Airlines and stewardesses
Everybody, everywhere

May they be safe
May peace prevail

In all hearts with fear
In all eyes with tears
May they be safe
May peace prevail

May love encircle
Our blue planet
Once more
With life
Enfolded
In her gentle grace.

We make up our stories
Our logic and rationalizations
For what happened
That shouldn't have
And
For what didn't happen
That should have

We say
God is benevelont
The universe is your friend
Don't worry
All is well and always has been

Yes, these are good stories
And maybe they are true

But what can i tell my tears?
The arise from a deep well
within
my heart
The well of tears

They cry as they wait
For the moment and day
When this friendly universe
Makes up its own mind
To bless my clouded eyes
with the vision
of Thine Feet

Blue Feet, Bamboo flute
My life, my love
My refuge eternal

What does it take?
To sit in silence

What does it take?
To inhale a breath of love

What does it take?
To hug the universe

What does it take?
To breath out peace to all

What does it take?
To accept this moment,
As it is.

A deep breath
A smile
A single drop of gratitude

All is well and always will be
In Grace Eternal

Is life a journey
A seeking
A destination
Almost there, but always
Just a little far
Away
In the near horizon

Or

Is life a song?
Music with highs and lows
We dance fast or slow
With a smile or tears
But dance, nevertheless
Each moment is
What it is – a destination
Complete and fulfilled

Like each note of music
And each step of dance

Tell me beloved friend
What do you think of life?
A journey or a dance?

When i think
of my love
for You
Nothing matters.

Not my work
nor my family
Not this world
nor eternity

i am
you are
love is

And that is the beginning
and the end

Be silent my mind
So we can hear
The whispers of the soul
No thoughts,
No feelings,
No ups and no downs
Just this
As it is
A silence
A knowing
A being
I am with Him
In Him, for Him
In the lap of infinity

I release my words
    Into this universe
        Like a peace pigeon

They have no goals
No desire
      To change or teach
No targets
       To impact or reach

Just a message of love
       From my heart to yours

Smile, my beloved
       In the sweetness
            Of this moment

Will we change
After this?

Stop rushing so much?
Chasing money and things?
Name, fame, game?

Will we change
After this?

Stepping into
Our heart
Loving, caring
Smiling and hugging
Realising
Life is not meant
Just to be caught in traffic?
Grabbing the changing world?

Will we change
After this?

Hold each moment
With a smile
A place to abide
In silent gratitude
To all around
The trees, stars and planet

Will we change
After this?

Choose a life
Of balance
Centred within
In love and light

Someday in the future
A few years hence
Or maybe decades
You will look at your pic
From today and say,
“Wow! How young I looked!
How charming!”

Why wait for that day?
Look in the mirror
Today and say,
“Wow! How young I am now!
How charming!”

Smile!
You look great – inside and out.

The thought of you crosses my mind
I smile
Thinking of your eyes
In mine
Magic
