deepest blue

Hello, hello
To you
Deepest blue,
Hello to you.

   Hello, hello
   To you
   Deepest blue,
   May I swim into you?

Wrap me in your velvet embrace,
Take me down through frozen space,
Where all remains as it is now created and
Dissolve my soul into the mind of God.

   And who are you
   Deepest blue?
   Who are you
   Deepest blue?

Hello, hello
To you
Deepest blue,
Hello to you.

   Hello, hello
   To you
   Deepest blue,
   May I swim into you?

Wrap me in your velvet touch,
Carry my soul to where the angels brush
The pains away from these mortal bones and
Carry me softly to my eternal home.

   Yes, who are you
   Deepest blue?
   Who are you
   Deepest blue?

strange fate

It is the strange fate of man, that even in the greatest of evils the fear of the worst continues to haunt him.

   −Johann Wolfgang von Goethe  

wrong way round

And we, spectators always, everywhere, looking at, never out of anything. Who's turned us round like this?

   −Rainer Maria Rilke  

seeking the light

When someone asks me who they are or what God is I smile inside and whisper to the Light: "there you go again, pretending".

   −Adyashanti

true fulfillment

Ram Tzu knows this ...

There is a hole
Inside you that
You try desperately
To fill up.

You pour in
Various satisfactions
To make yourself
Feel alright.

Sometimes,
If you can get enough,
The hole fills to the brim
And there is a
Blissful moment of evenness.

But your hole is open
At the bottom.
Its contents always leak through
Leaving you empty
Again
And desperate
For more.

Ram Tzu knows what must be done ...

You must be thrown in the hole.

   −Ram Tzu (Wayne Liquorman)

bursting open

Light will someday split you open;
even if your life is now a cage ...
Love will surely burst you wide open
into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy.

   −Hafiz  

true happiness

True happiness is uncaused, and this cannot disappear for lack of stimulation. It is not the opposite of sorrow, it includes all sorrow and suffering.

   −Nisargadatta Maharaj
