the moon is walking
in and out
the transparent layers of clouds
in an elegant dance
with shadows
calling the reality by its proper name
can sometimes be
a shaking experience
while the scaffold of illusions
is falling a part
eyes wide open
walking into the pain
through the night
eyes wide open
no longer searching to explain
nor to eradicate
just observing how suffering
undulates
like any other sort of emotion
there is no shame in suffering
even less
in setting it free
perhaps
when the sensation of being
fully alive
is no longer a faraway point
in the distance
but an actual state of mind
some sort of breakthrough
can be considered
to have happened
perhaps nothing measurable
perhaps just a slight shift
in the pattern of thoughts
leading towards flourishing pastures
of spring
hesitation
some sort of hesitation
knowing
that what used to be
no longer is
the cold nights
and glorious days
open into the golden span
of presence
observance
to celebrate the last full moon
before the equinox of spring
is another way to celebrate
this powerful shift by nature
from one state of awareness
to another
response
to release a whole long life
of fear
is nothing compared to the effort
it takes
to live a whole long life
of fear
though it seems
staying with fear
responds to our instinct
whereas releasing it
comes in a response
to our faith
fully
feeling fully alive
is a fabulous feeling indeed
the more than the outer framework
seems invariable
feeling fully alive
is a blessing beyond imagination
yet
only imagination seems to be
what can take us towards
fulfilment
birdsong
the song of the birds announces the sun
with such eager
that nothing can resist
such calling
for spring
the birth of a falling star
is something to celebrate
year after year after year
great many ways
there are great many ways
to tell a story
as there are great many ways
of hearing
what is being told
truth is to be found
everywhere
for the one
who hears
spirit
a slight tilt in the spine
and balance occur
in the body
as in the mind
allowing the spirit to pervade
every layers of a being
striving towards light
