Memory of the Heart Warrior

Mind is matter. Doesn’t
The pitter patter of thought
Disrupt the glow and
The flow
Of inner light
Illuminated,

The witness watches
Beyond the clock, the eternal tickles
The hands of time
Are out of your control
The ebbs and furrows
Of your fretted brow
Dissolve in the power
Of now

And then, you open
The sanctuary door
Unfurls the way
With the crisp signature
Of truthfelt recollection

Aloof, the watcher witnesses
The reality of this predicament
The beauty of the illusion
The depth of the clarity
Shines,

From within, we see
The reflection, the connection
Inside, outside
The relationship merges
In confluence
The breath becomes awareness.

Awake, we breathe through
The veil
Disintegrates into integration
For the first time, again.

Grounded into reality
The floodgates come unwoven
Love streams inward
And flutters outward
The heart melts into completion
Hole once more
From nothing into all

A memory is restored.
A wisdom arouses.
The return of a journey
Through space-time,
Pain and paradox
Unites eternity in a moment.

The tapestry of life
Blossoms as you
Return home
Healed
To the luminary garden
Of ungodly divinity.

Grown down, blown up
And left sideways
Right from the fabric of infinity
Innocently,
Mind you
Become
A true warrior of the heart.

BEYOND THE WATCH

22nd March 2020

Your life…is your life.

Don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.

Beyond the watch there are ways out, there is a light.

Somewhere…

It may not be much light, but it beats the darkness.

Beyond the watch the gods will offer you chances.

Know them.

Take them.

You can’t beat death, but you can beat death in life, sometimes…

And the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be.

Your life…is your life.

Know it while you have it.

You are marvellous.

The gods wait to delight in you…

#YODA

August 2019

It is in our own awareness that we can see the most subtle fabric of all aspects of creation.

What is this fabric? Where does it come from? What is it made of? Is it vegan?

It is essence. It is pure. It is innate. It is clear. It is light. It is isness.

But, what is it?

It is what it is. It is all that is and everything in between.

It is the middle ground and the extremes. It is both and. Yet, it is more still. And less.

Understand this and you will have gained nothing. And everything simultaneously both before and after your realisation.

It may twist your tongue and confuddle your brain.

It will blow your hair right back and left forwards.

It’s force may be with you.

TIME

Time for breakfast
time for dinner
time for bed
the endless cycle endures.
Time.

A single thread
that we cut
divide
with the hands of a clock
and the sharpness of our dulled minds.

Edward’s scissors
a handy tool
for separation
of the unified
tapestry.

Weaving our ways along
fumbling to grasp
the complex intricacies 
of human existence
the simplicity of nature.

What times is it?
You might be wondering…
Now.
You might reply.

Each passing moment
transformed in the mind
to past, to future
to good, to bad
is permeated
and glowing
with the eternal
ever present
now

Indeed, the answer remains the same
always and forever.

Time for breakfast
time for dinner
time for bed

time for change
time for truth
time for timelessness
