Driftwood Music
Water running over stones makes a subtle kind of music as it wears the hardness down. Recognizing my own heartlessness, the fruit of habitual self-absorption, made me suddenly stop and weep. The sound of these tears flowing freely down my … Continue reading
Surrender
No one knows the reason for any of this – why even make it a question? Death doesn’t. The unleashed wonder of that moment is sufficient to still any speculation. This is not a metaphor – it will be the … Continue reading
It Just Burns
Fire goes where there’s fuel. We claim the truth is what we want, but resist the burning away of the false. We seek consolation in borrowed beliefs and are quick to defend our own self-images, even though none of them … Continue reading

Toll Booths
In the dream it’s late, and I am travelingover deeper waters, so I stay awake. There are many toll booths already behind me,but this road I’m driving never seems to end. Still, there’s mercy in these wheels,while across the vaulted … Continue reading
Love Talk
I came here seeking lovers and friends with whom to share this Mystery, to wonder and touch and drown in it. All are the Beloved, at heart we are the same — this is what the heart knows, … Continue reading
