who do you wish to be

when all is dark outdoors and in your room
all objects all forms vanish into darkness
yet their essence remains
you know that you can still stub your toe
and yet in pure darkness, our fixation with form is reduced
a stepping stone towards a new perspective
so in this darkness
between waking and sleep
drift with subtle intent towards your earliest memory
as a child in your mother’s arms
receiving unconditional love
a love so powerful, no thought, no distraction intrudes upon the care, attention and connection she offers
for when you don the gift of body and mind as a child
it is your first experience of your own form and the form of the world around you
and with that experience also comes a sense of separation
a realization that for the first time you seem no longer connected to the single consciousness that had always been…

One dark night

One dark night,
fired with love’s urgent longings
—ah, the sheer grace!—
I went out unseen,
my house being now all stilled.
In darkness, and secure,
by the secret ladder, disguised,
—ah, the sheer grace!—
in darkness and concealment,
my house being now all stilled.
On that glad night, in secret,
for no one saw me,
nor did I look at anything,
with no other light or guide
than the one that burned in my heart.
– St. John of the Cross
“Dark Night of the Soul was written in 2010, and premiered that year by the Phoenix Chorale. The text, three stanzas from St. John of the Cross’ magical poem Dark Night of the Soul, was suggested to me by Joel Rinsema, Executive Director of the Phoenix Chorale, and I fell in love with its passionate spirituality right away. One of the things I wanted to do in this piece was to make the choir and piano fairly equal, as if in a dialogue; often the piano is accompanying the choir, but sometimes the choir is accompanying the piano (or violin) as well, with the choir kind of taking the role of a soft, but rich “string orchestra” texture. I just love the sound of voices humming chords, it creates a sound that can be so evocative and warm, especially when doubled by a string quartet. To me, that sound combination has a similar effect to a great synth pad, only it perhaps feels more organic and alive.” – Ola Gjeilo

“from innocence to delusion and back again and beyond”
Gratitude, George!
as I wander through the graveyard of egoes
head stones disappear into the horizon by the millions
egoes all laid to rest
some hardened in battle
some hardened with great wealth and possessions
some hardened with abuse both given with emotion and received emotion
some hardened with great addiction and attachments
some hardened by great fear, anxiety and resistance
all tainted with the bloodstains of separation
still chained to their silenced yet aching soiled and bruised souls
yet the life blood of the ego evaporates back to the jinns who seeded the thoughts and feelings to which these beings unknowingly attached
the only hope of these lost souls is for those who may one day enter this place of lament to unfetter their chains with the wisdom and grace of loving compassion
yet so few enter the narrow opening in the rusted gate in their earthly lifetime to release these…

The Bad Guys

≈ Comments Off on The Bad Guys
The bad guys in life are a whole lot different than we might think they are. Once we see them truly we illuminate the roots of our own dysfunction, thereby giving ourselves and those we held responsible for wrongdoing the space to heal. From this healed place, we are inspired to do and say exactly what each situation requires.
Think of your mind. Now think of the bad guy’s mind. Now think of all the minds on Earth. Now think about all minds across time and space. They all share one big room. They all have the same ultimate destination–Home. Home is Love, true self awareness, harmony. If you stop, take a breath, and feel deep within, you carry the memory of it with you. The memory of Home is at the root of every desire you have.
Every desire you have to exert control within your life is actually…
