HOMAGE TO VAJRA YOGINI O Yogini, in mine eyes, Dancing in naked ecstasy, O Victorious One, Traveller amongst the stars. O Yogini, that intense spacious fire, From the belly, To the heart, The intensity of clarity, burning white hot. O Yogini, dancing upon a stage, Your beauty is the nakedness of completely letting go, The union of heart, of vast illumination, Oh what happiness. O Yogini, you have a place in my heart, A love so rich, You bring tears, A melting of love into ripples of laughing energy. O Yogini, bringer of such peace, Dancing in Vajradhara's breath, The bell rings out to all beings, In all places. O Yogini, your nakedness is searing to behold, Clarity you wear, the alchemy of bliss, You stand firm on an empty sky, No place to go, but still you dance. O Yogini, you who refines the chemistry, So the rivers flow like ruby blood, At the heart is liquid gold, ringing, Sounding the declaration of Dharma. O Yogini, she who holds the soup of life, Swirling vortexes of blood, so rich you melt, To her heart is a dead cup, A receptacle of empty legends. O Yogini, the sexual one, What is your dance that quickens the pulse? Awake to life, Allow the percolating drops to seep, turn, divide and bubble. O Yogini, you who holds a staff, A life giving sword, Life comes from the impaling, the boring through, great determination, Transforming the three great poisons. O Yogini, you whose womb is ready, Rich in life giving blood, Supporter of the flask of transformation, Reflux the phenomena of mind. O Yogini, your breasts so full, Nourisher in the ocean of peace, Food for the journey, Sustenance for the fool. O Yogini, you who have laid bare, Nakedly pristine is your body like a blown glass, Nude is your voice that declares faith, Unclothed is your mind to reveal the essence. O Yogini, I pray you infect countless others, With your image of passion, A passion so overwhelming, so utterly no-where, You who fully embodies the Bodhicitta. AH HO!

"I served as a disciple one of the lovers of God, a gnostic, a lady of Seville called Fatimah bint Ibn al-Muthanna of Cordova. I served her for several years, she being over ninety-five years of age... She used to play on the tambourine and show great pleasure in it. She used to say to me, 'I am your spiritual mother and the light of your earthly mother.' Ibn Arabi, (1165-1240 A.D)

When the teacher's words enter your heart, it is like finding treasure in the palm of your hand!

Drive me out of my mind, O Mother! What use is esoteric knowledge Or philosophical knowledge. Transport me totally with the burning wine Of your all-embracing love. Mother of mystery, who imbues with mystery the hearts of those who love you, Immerse me irretrievably in the stormy ocean without boundary of pure love. To common perception some are laughing with your freedom,Others weep tears of your tenderness, still others dance, whirling with your bliss. Even your devoted Gautama, Moses, Krishna, Jesus, Nanak and Muhammad are lost in the rapture of pure love.

Divine Union

Layla and Majnun: May these vows and this marriage be blessed. May it be sweet milk, this marriage, like wine and halvah. May this marriage offer fruit and shade like the date palm. May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day a day in Paradise. May this marriage be a sign of compassion, a seal of happiness here and hereafter. May this marriage have a fair face and a good name, an omen as welcome as the moon in a clear blue sky. I am out of words to describe how Spirit mingles in this marriage. (Kulliyat-E Shams, 2667) (Kahlil Gibran):On Marriage You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

This night of Love so filled with longing, it contracts my heart, makes a glass thirsty for the Ruby of your wine, then more from your chastity pouring itself into the Form of this night of single pointed joy. You tease me with the golden feathers of your trembling hand, so intensely light. I rise up and drink Your Wine, confuse Myself and emerge in You, fusing mine with your own.

the love that binds us cannot be broken...as polish goes into gold, my heart has gone into you, ..as a lotus lives in water, i am rooted in you..

Love and devotion to the Divine is a path easily traveled to know or merge in the non-dual reality of God's infinite being. It is for all practitioners of every faith. It is the joy and bliss one encounters walking this path that makes it seem to be effortless!
