The black walnut tree
Stands in majestic silence
Awaiting winter

Knowing that the falling leaves
Protect its fallen seed fruit

Borning Prayer

Mother-Father
Blessed Universal Presence
Residing in the Eternal Now
Let your Presence be Known
Within this physical vehicle
Purifying and aligning
The seven energy centers
In each and every one of its bodies
Lighting the Vertical Pathway
Firing the Cross of Creation (more…)

The Swinging Pendulum

When the fairy tale finally ends
Our dreams become discordant
And we find ourselves wandering
Nakedly alone through the nightmare
Of knowingly created Existence.

We return guilt ridden to one hour Sundays
And sing with mechanistic certitude
The songs rotely learned as absolute,
Further atrophying our Essence,
While rejoicing at being saved
From ourselves.

Paths IA, vii

At the river today we stand
   In newfound unity of life,
   Prepared to cross its rough waters,
   Leaving behind yin and yang’s strife
For Brahman’s universal hand.
   The initiates come ashore
      Greeted by the forces of Light
      And are given the Love scepter
      After Baptism’s holy right.
   The lessons of eternal splendor
Are taught by Masters from all lands
   To any ready to explore
   The Kingdom through Truth’s open door.

“Nasturtiums slow dance”

Nasturtiums slow dance
In the soft summer breezes
To Nature’s rhythms

Pulsing through the Milky Way
And stones on the garden path

A Dream

I am with Child
I sense its presence
I feel its movement
I know its thoughts

Finally I understand
The Cosmic Child is within me
Restlessly waiting to be Birthed
Into the Light of a New Day

Hunting for Answers to Autumnal Questions
```
Within your sights is Life,
Breathing.  
       Can it be seen?
Can this miracle be felt
In a heart beating fast,
Or a breath being held?

The tree in the seed
Knows its full maturity
As our Cosmic Self

Knows its Immortality
In the zero of silence
