Emerging from Nowhere
Participating in everything
Desiring Nothing
I walk Alone

Unfathomable Love
If you knew how much I love you
This world would not exist
Yes, there’d be a world and you’d be there
But it would not look like this
Where you now see separation
Everything you’d see is One
All would shine as they are meant to shine
So there’d be no need for sun
War will have never been
Every tragedy has been abated
You encounter someone who’s not like you
And that fact is celebrated
There will be no calls for justice
Or the concept of “what is fair”
Since we’d all create what it is we love
And no one else would care
Family’s only meaning
Would be loving as you love you
And lies would have no place to be
Since every spoken word is true
The most beauty you’d ever witness
Will be wherever you choose to gaze
Songs of joy would never cease
Along with never ending praise
But you choose not to know I love you
Because you’ve chosen one concern
To decide who else I’m supposed to love
Based on what you think they earned
So instead of the world I gave you
You’ve created a distortion
Invented lack in abundant life
And tried to break it up in portions
Because I love you I haven’t stopped you
I trust eventually you’ll get it
Because you’re in time and I am not
I can see where this is headed
I am Love that knows no bounds
Wherever you hide I will be Present
For the world you’ve made where I don’t exist
I have hidden it in Heaven!

For Your Consideration
How can we choose God who we cannot see and reject our brothers and sisters who we can see?
This is the choice before us.
To love who we can accept or love who God loves.
Nothing can prepare us for the full revelation of God’s love.
It is an undoing love that sets souls free.
God, undo us. Remove the chains that bind us to the false self,so that our true self can emerge.
Nothing can prepare us for the awareness that God fully loves all—even those we would not choose to love.
Choosing God is choosing all of God’s children.
It is choosing ourselves. May we choose wisely. Amen.
Star Crossed Others
There’s a star outside my window
Every morning she speaks to me
Of what it means to shine my light
To be who I can be
Sometimes I want to listen
Other times I feel afraid
Because shining will mean I can be seen
And my being will be displayed
People will think they know me
But they will only know a part
Unless they’re shining their light themselves
They can’t see a shiner’s heart
To shine means you must be emptying
With the faith that you’ll be filled
Traveling distant worlds and parts unknown
All the while remaining still
As a light you’re an exposer
Without ever aiming to be
In fact judgment isn’t part of who you are
But it’s what those in darkness see
And those who ride the fences
Between what is light and what is dark
Will honor you and fear the shadow
Not realizing their own spark
When you shine they’ll think you teach them
But what you give is just permission
For them to be who they already are
When they align with their inner vision
As for those who claim the darkness
Even the darkest night is light
But in freedom they have made the temporal choice
To hide their illumined being from their sight
It is something like addiction
They know not what they do
When they make themselves dependent
On a story that’s never true
All of this the star does tell me
Like a mentor passing knowledge
Because the star was once in my same position
The essence of freedom trapped in bondage
Then one day she was awakened
By the reality deep within
That consciousness always transcends the form
Once surrendering begins
So she released all agreed on limits
Becoming less so to be more
Then lived the light she used to hide
The very purpose we’re here for
At first she was rejected
Then in time she was revered
Now One with everything that is
But perceived as disappeared
Until it’s dark enough to see her
Quiet enough to hear her voice
Which only speaks of invitation
Into the realm where all rejoice.

Power Brokers
The power you have, we gave you
Now you fear we’ll take it back
That’s why when we ask you to represent
You take it as attack
In questioning your motives
We just want to make this clear
Ignoring those you don’t want to see
Will not make us disappear
For there’s nowhere we are not
Eternally we reside
We trusted you to steward life
Because we know that you can’t hide
Some people call it karma
When we reap everything we sow
We call it “Everything is One.”
As above and so below
So the gift of service we gave you
Comes from power we have loaned
Abuse it and the only power you will break
Will be the power that was your own

Love Punk
I’m afraid to tell you how much I love you
Because you don’t love you more
Which makes my love for you seem too much
And you refuse to be outscored
So instead of loving you more than me
You try to make me love you less
Thinking how can I love what you don’t love
Which leaves both of us depressed
So in order to protect us from me and you
I hide my love for you in the future
So we can feel we learned what we already knew
Since you only run when I pursue you
That’s why I leave so I can stay
Creating space just to get close
Believing I can love you all I want
Once you learn to love you most

Death Is Not a Failure
We all succeed at dying
One way or the other
Despite the value we place on holding it back
We have this in common with one another
Even Jesus couldn’t escape it
Though we say it’s a revolving door
He begged if the cup of death could pass
How much less should we implore?
For the living’s only reality
Is to live, and be, and move
Death appearing a contradiction
What can we gain
For all we lose?
Yet, Death is not an ending
Not a new beginning or a door
Nor does it ever take from us
Or give the peace we’re longing for
All we think it is it isn’t
Because we lack the point of view
To see it for what it really is,
We need a different mind to see it through.
One not born through separation
One complete in its perception
One that sees all things for what they are
Present wholeness without rejection
Such a mind must not fear death
In fact it’s grateful for its inclusion
For the only Death there ever is
Is the Death of our illusions

Maker in the Middle
In the center of all things
Is the One Who is All
From the infinitely large
To the infinitely small
Nowhere not the center
Even that which you call edge
Split the atom and there is fullness
There’s no space that you can hedge
There is no private matter
As far as matter is concerned
In fact matter doesn’t matter
Once it’s spiritually discerned
Reality is Oneness
This thought called two has never been
It’s the illusion of separation
Denying the truth of what’s within
We live, move, and have our being
In the One Place all things Be
Once we receive the “I” that sees this
There’s nothing ever more to see

The Soul You Rob Is Your Own
Eyes filled with tears
Heart so full
Can’t say it’s spilled milk
Seeing all this bull
Everywhere soul robbers
Work to dig our graves
Offer carrot stick freedom
Keep us unseen slaves
Two faced leaders
Both mouths lie
Stick those needles
In the public eye
So we see nothing
But we don’t know why
Place our hopes in the illusion
They are on our side
But what I see lately
Merely comes to this
In a win-lose world
Someone will be missed
And in a rank based system
You know who it’ll be
Those who don’t pass muster
And those who look like me
But my tears aren’t for pity
For those who play that role
It’s for those who kill worlds
Trying to find their souls
Because in the grand scheme of things
Nothing’s here for the keeping
This is a seed planting realm
So we can live our own reapings
Forever!

How Close is God?
Like there’s a tree in the seed
There is God within me
The Unseen is clearly seen
When the love of Christ has set us free
Just as the drops that make the Ocean
Are full of all the Ocean is
So when we pour out who we are
We are receiving what we give
There is nowhere God is not
To include the reflection that we see
Closer than we could ever imagine
In every breath we ever breathe

Spoken Wordless
Words cannot express
What words cannot express
But Silence is compelling me
So I will do my best
Though everything is backwards
There is something coming forth
That is leading us to where we’ve never left
So that we’ll always be on course
It’s fullness is not religious
Truth’s Way will free us from our binds
But first we must deny ourselves
So that our True Selves we might find
That is the Revelation
That so many before us bore
But, we lost our Way living outside in
And always keeping score
The Way Showers wants to free us
But we have to kill them first
Because we refuse to be what we will not see
Thus labeling them a curse
But as soon as we can’t see them
We see them as they are
Exposing what we once denied
That we never were that far
Then suddenly we’re speechless
If only we had known
We’d’ve been deliberate in our reaping
So that our freedom could be sown.
