Fortunate One

Sometimes we recieve that little glimmer of a realization like the flash of fire that a novice creates to his surprise. Honor this spark,and its deep and powerful igniting potential.How fortunate i am to be alive.This opportunity,this grace, this proof of our Creator. For this is no mere coincidence, this is life.

close as i get to measuring-mostly eyeballing

today begins the sunrise of Srimad Bhagvatam
once again i ask for help in my work
all my guardian angels
particularily, you sanskrit speaking ones
and spelling ones , and proportion ones ,
like visvakarma ki jai!
and beautiful ones all
help me!

inner director of arts

ease into a scetch or two, hands , feet, letters......on what?

nothing profound save reality

through the rain filled summer morning
answers come nay almost storming
from the heavens above
can we not remember
what we were asking
what desperate plea
we were begging for
may my heart be laced
with gratitude
like newly grown grass
on the stable floor
sweet freshness
escape me no more
see protection all around
ask now for remembrance
for where we've gone
bow to your beautiful crown
how can i serve Thee?

he deva bhavantam vande

Allowing the mind to circle around the most beautiful topic which is so exalted, so breathtaking
is the highest priviledge bestowed upon one.Admittance is rare......but, we may beg permission

" He Deva Bhavantam Vande"

The Nature of Brilliance

This Bhagavaat Purana

is as brilliant as the sun

and it has arisen

just after the departure of Lord Krsna to His own abode,

accompanied by religion, knowledge, etc.

Persons who have lost their vision

due to the dense darkness of ignorance

of the age of Kali

shall get light

from this Purana

• of ignorance of the age of Kal

seeds of opportunities

you have given me
teach me to grow them
responsibly
a seed hold a universe
and i am unawarest
of immplications
of opportunities so fair
You be the keeper
when the magnitude
is so high
i'll do the bidding
as You cast the die
i only walk
but You make
us fly

This Day

Phosphorescent seas of tears

lakes of unfulfilled desires

devoured in a transcendental fire

crackle in the roar of a funeral pyre

burn away this ancient phoenix bird

Life begins in Your Holy Word

allow me this one time to beg

Your Hari Nam descend upon my head

Sleep comes to take you deep my friend

Dive into the darkness
inside there still is light
your guide awaits you
ready for your flight
practice makes perfect
and so we begin
the art of departure
a glorious fin
where are you going?
i follow a sound
it reveals truth
it destroys wrong

unfold your thoughts dewey rose

the treasures that awaiten thee
no longer can conceal
the sun it comes
and will all things reveal

Place Your Confidence in the Beautiful Eternal One

The blissful and merciful guardian of the soul.Who knows the genuine purpose of everyone, who will make everything pleasing, who actually knows what you need.

What if you did the Right thing?

You'de know. You will dream with your eyes open or closed ,either way.You will sense purpose flowing through your veins.Visions will guide you and books will fall open as the words jump out at your glance upon the page. You will be holding a paint brush and sweep it across the palatte, and then across the canvas, and the line will move like a ballet performance,..you'de know.

Bathe My Spirit

Maybe i am telling myself to take a shower....................

distracted ,again....

Living in a land of forgotten dreams and patchy highways

i encounter apparitions that ,really , i should know by now

If i had a fire to burn this dross away

immediately id'e torch this mess of unfulfilled desire

burn them savagely cast their ashes in the sea

and breath air annointed in pure sunlight

and the freshness of rain that bathes this earth

that is the place i would call home

The Sun Willingly Sets

When the day is over
And the sun has set
Remind me Lord to awaken
Remembering one intent

Arise before the sunrise
Your Divine Names to Call
All obstacles destroy
Let the darkness fall

Seal this in my mind
before i fall asleep
tell me to call upon You
And Your Council keep

How do You Get There?

The way is simple
to get there ,not.
It takes a notice,
directed to the heart .

The Search Is On

In order to keep a clear sense of direction every step must be carefully prayed out.

About Zen

It is an equipoise of the interior and the exterior.
The atmosphere is gently restrained,
as to not jar the attention outward.
The mind may reflect , and
the exterior suggests one to look inside .
This is a conducive opportunity to chant,
finding within ,the quality of less is a universe of more.

Invocation to Now

At the adjunct to a new adventure

Om tad visno paramam padam sada pasyanti suraya diviva caksur atatam

"Above my consciousness is Superconciousness ;the vigilant guardian's eye is always watching over me
