whether ever never

repeated trials of me-anderings
finally real eyes ing
all the ways
I put the he
(the me)
before the she
forgetting the beauty
that exists in the
male/female marriage
internal eternal prayer
of the emotions and the senses
ever never mind's eye lenses

seeing the path
(walking it too)
occasional detours
healing journeys
soul-baring sojourns
feeling forsaken
and then
awaken
to this bliss again
cleansing rains
releasing forgotten forms
soothing calm, after the storm

why try
to make happiness the only way
when every day
whether i cry
or whether i play
whether the weather
is sunny or grey
my angels call out
to light the way
candles in the darkness
never extinguished
never distinguished
from this love that i feel
in every deepening breath
so divine
so real

always remember
never forget
this presence i feel
when i let go of regret

eye and i

born into blindness
into this world, cast from be-ing
all that is,
into a reality of polarity,
duality, seeing
observer and observed

these little blinds
(much like the blinds you see in many windows)
manifestations within this 3 dimensional world
and necessary to its existence
and mine...


if i chose to
i could close the blinds completely
seeing only the blinds
and nothing beyond

yet eye am compelled
by the nature of my humanity
to peer through these blinds

were eye to open all the blinds at once
i would be dazzled
consumed
by the brilliance
of
p u r e b e i n g

so i pull back the layers
bit by bit
blind by blind
gazing into that
all-embracing loving lightness

through my actions,
my meritorious and painful deeds
each step of growth i take..

as i create works of beauty
and art
as i exemplify
human passion
curiousity
courage...

through these actions
eye acknowledge this
inherent
divinity
and eye open the blinds
action by action

o n e b y o n e

and as eye gather with others
and we share this brightness
through the windows of our souls
we open many blinds at once
eye and eye basking in celebration
of our mutual recognition
of each
other's
divine nature

namasté

i
and
eye

eye
the observer
eye and i
the observer and the observed

within this duality
the two are one
for neither could exist
without the other
the observed cannot exist
without the observer...
the reverse also being true.

within this union
interdependence
necessity for being
is evidence
for the existence of the paradox
of a single total oneness of being,
experienced only through duality.

that which is
this
human
experience

Crossing the Border?

I know a lot of people are confused about the border,
I was too, so i looked it up.

Apparently we Canadians can still cross to the US
over land (not by air) with two pieces of valid ID

There's no set date on their site, but the general understanding seems to be that before or by June 2009, we will all likely need chip-enabled passports to do the same:

renewal

i smelled the trees today
it felt like it could have been
a thousand years
since that musky earth footprint dusted my nose
when really, only a heartbeat in time away
the frozen white veil no longer
dividing me
from my mother's
divine fragrance

birth
life
renewal
growth

in an instant
my years have come undone
rendering me a playful child
befriending stray hounds, and
dancing along the beaches of my dreams
happily embracing this
continuous
abundance
of be ing

in spr ing

The one that got away

remembering you is ointment to
that
wound

"which one?"

you know.
the one when my heart was so full
it burst wide open
and all my insides spilled out for you to see?

i think of you, here, now
this apparition of loving kindness
as if you melted into the floor
seeped into the cracks
of my longing
lost, but not forgotten...

remembering the times when we walked together
and when we laughed along with your parents
and those times spent crying in the night,
wondering if your neighbors were listening
to our willful tales of misspent youth

and though you escaped
whatever misery we surely would have faced together
I still ache for that capturing,
that moment in time,
(the two of us, frozen in romantic ecstacy,
as if it were a prize to be kept...)

still yearning for that misspent truth

and still looking at you
as I do, as
The one that got away

silly,
hey?

form less

winding in this spiraling way
on another phantom sidestep day
when all the world is rosey clear
and crystal mind-sets fill the air
cloudy still, seeming incomplete
these words as actions still sometimes sleep

...yet in the fits and starts so filled
with devotion and joy, love and will
letting go of all i knew
to learn it all again, anew

in each moment
i breathe
living essence to each leaf
each flower, each branch,
each root below
beneath the soil, beneath the snow
melting, seeping, nurturing seeds
of friendship, honour, loving deeds
and in each step upon this path
i find i have all i thought i lacked
watered with gratitude,
i see the rows
of abundant beauty
as forth it grows,
never ceasing, stopping,
this four ever flow...

seeing who "I" Am
after letting go.

"Dreaming" ~ Image by Johannus Boots - www.edjo.com/forever/gallery/boots/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


in a state
of grace
on this blessed land
pouring out into the water
reaching hands
wanting, waiting
for the end to draw nearer
and still clearer

another
dream...

a dream of becoming
kings and queens
in our own minds
our own hearts
and all
we all gain
when king and queen
are together again

another dream awakens
from the world's mind it's born
taking me back to before i had form
in the time of no time
i'm vibrations
sublime
with this spark of devotion
creation, emotion
there is that beneath all
that i feel when i call
out the name of our mother
in loving embrace.....
gaia!


how bout we all give up?
and let up,
and share
how bout we deliver with
gratitude and care
for the new ways,
the new days
in the present
p r e s i d e
when we put all our egos
and worries aside

...how do you feel?
do you need to decide?

oh it's so complex
says the mind to the mind
if you feel that confusion
peel back the illusion..
see the power in knowing
from where we are born
is that which gives glory
to this miraculous form

in the skin..
from within...
in this true s'elf
i play.

and wonder
sometimes
what the world might say....




.

Prayer to our Mother

Thank you
Mother
Gaia
Goddess
Creator
Divine Intelligence
for This moment
for this Blessing of being Alive
and human
and aware

and loved

may i forever be in your service
may i continue to walk with grace

may i embody...

abundance

compassion

courage

discipline

humility

honesty

integrity

patience

purity


may i always recognize and appreciate
the sacredness of all beings

may this planet be healed
may the balance be restored

may all my actions be
guided by spirit
for the benefit of all beings
in harmony with divine will

all my relations
aho

Man has eaten God

"...you are what you eat"


YOUR words they flow
you seem to show the
truth
involved with Letting go,
the process of
forgetting the preconception
embracing the inception
of infinity
incarnate in a breath.

a moment
so fleeting
greeting the unknown with a savouring...
amidst it all a flavouring
of the life unlived, the stone unturned
this is the life I've yearned
for
and now find myself
surrounded by

oh how this love of life
finds itself, in me, in you
yes it finds itself
within and on the internet too
and it finds it's way out,
to
the lonely meanderings through
the trails and lookouts of gyro park
or the whining of street lamps
alone in the half dark
quietude

wandering, wondering
waiting for
another
dreamer of a
freshly-baked-cookie-space
with mouth watering
for
just
a
taste?

Listening to the moon, chillin' a bit...

I was going to take the bus home to nelson this morning, yet i was feeling stress about it... I felt this in my bones, and then I was late calling the cab and one company said half an hour at minimum, and the other put me on hold for 5 minutes...

So I decided to see where the moon was at...


according to :

www.cafeastrology.com/timingw...oon.html

the moon went void of course today at 3:35am and stays that way till 5:08pm:

""""""""""""
Jan 31, 2008 3:35 AM Moon Sqr Mer V/C
Jan 31, 2008 5:08 PM Moon enters Sagittarius
""""""""""""

I decided I will wait and catch the 10pm bus, instead of the 6:30 am to 5:05pm one...I'm in Calgary and I feel good.


"According to theory, most activities should be initiated when the Moon is not Void of Course. Activities started during the void period generally don't work out to our liking, or they need some serious adjustment in order for them to meet any success. Therefore, if possible, one should avoid going on a first date, a job interview, starting a business or project, and so forth, during the Void of Course Moon. In Horary Astrology, in which a person asks a question and then the astrologer draws a chart of that moment in order to find an answer, if the Moon is Void of Course, we generally consider that "nothing will come of the matter...

...Another important timing factor involves the phase of the Moon. As a general principle, starting a project is more favorable during the waxing period of the Moon (from New Moon to Full Moon). You will want to conclude projects or do preparation work for a new project (not start a new one) during the waning phase of the Moon (from Full Moon to New Moon)."


NOTE : It is waning now

This article brings up a lot to consider if you were planning big actions or projects today, might be a better day to do the dishes, or organize your desk, or fold laundry, or hang out in the snow....
