THE BEACON OF LOVINGKINDNESS

THE BEACON OF LOVINGKINDNESS

.

.


The Path out of suffering


Is not more suffering


The Path out of suffering is kindness


The Path out of illusion


Is not new illusions


Only Sight can eliminate blindness


So study and learn and carefully observe


What precisely is disrupting your peace


Bit by bit, moment by moment


The grip of suffering can be released

Suddenly


One day


I just couldn't


Any more.

LIFE ALERT FOR LUCIFER

The Angel has fallen


And can't get up


What do we do?


Whatever can we do now?

DANCE OF INFINITE VEILS

 .

.

.

DANCE OF INFINITE VEILS

.

.


If we knew with absolute certainty


There was no one last final veil 


But that the veils go on and on


Forever and ever


Ad infinitum, ad nausea, ad inargute


Would we still keep whisking the veils away


As fast as humanly possible


From the naked form of the Truth?

THOUGHTS

THOUGHTS

.

.


Sometimes. when we respond to a situation


With panic, fear, worry or dread


It is because we are not responding to the situation


We are responding to our THOUGHTS 


About the situation


Which is an important distinction


Because our thoughts can encompass


Every possible negative outcome


And even some nearly impossible negative outcomes


While the situation itself  rarely


If ever


Ends with every possible disastrous outcome


Occurring at once


Or at all, except in our fevered


THOUGHTS

HIS FAULT

 .

.

.

HIS FAULT

.

.


Oh how she wanted to blame him


For everything


To connect the dots in such a way


That they draw a glaring arrow of blame


Pointing right at him


Every unfortunate turn of events


His fault


Every breakdown of healthy communication


His fault


Debt, unhappiness, running out of toothpaste


His fault


Because he could have, he would have, he should have


But he didn't


So it was all his fault


Which is most unfortunate


Because without objective review


We don't see our own big glaring weaknesses


Much less attempt to fix them


She is moving on from Mr. Awful


With all her character defects intact


Unchallenged


Because she insists it was all


His fault

INNER RESOUCES

 .

.

.

INNER RESOURCES

.

.


Your thoughts are your servants


Not your boss


So if a thought isn't working


Give it a toss


Interview some new thoughts to see


Which ones make you feel calm and free.
