One Path

The Hindu Path,
Awakens direct Knowledge,
Of Godhead and Beyond.

The Buddhist Path,
Lets go of all knowledge,
And returns to the Beyond.

These two paths,
Appear to be different,
Yet, the goal is the same.

~Dedicated to my friends who practice the Dharma.

Awaken!

Awaken!
O! Ruler of consciousness,
Witness of All!

~Dedicated to awakened consciousness.

Meditation

Derived meaning is the culprit,
Direct presence is the savior.

~Dedicated to the living presence.

The Buddha Womb

Born of the womb,
Of the Buddha,
Returning to the womb,
Of the Buddha,
Where is the separation,
Of life and death?

~Dedicated to Oneness.

Nityananda of Ganeshpuri

O! Nityananda!
A crow came and a crow went,
Yet! Your love remains!

~Dedicated to Avadhoot Nityananda

Crows

Crows in a tree top,
Laughing at the Universe,
Ca-caw! Ca-caw!

~Dedicated to One Love.

Taos Drum

A drum for my feet,
Plays the rhythm of the world,
Best when I'm still.

~Heather Ann Keller. Written in Taos Valley, July 2008.

Bliss

Divine bliss,
The union of perception,
And expression.

~Dedicated to awakening.
