BROKEN OPEN

BROKEN OPEN HEARTED

The proof of a God
is not found in faith
but in an experience of divinity.

This experience is available
any time or place
when you view this world
through the eyes of others.

Come to know your holiness,
admit that you and every aspect
of this world is sacred.



You don't need to part the seas,
to find a miracle.
Miracles are every where and ordinary
when you see from your heart.

Be fearless,
Trust in a loving universe,
Begin to live from a heart 
completely broken open.

    Buddha Knows 

    At the end of all your endless wanting 
    there is peace
but you cannot need this peace
because your need
will keep it from you. 
  
   Nothing outside yourself can bring you peace, 
    peace is within you and it is simply
the absence of the “you”
you think you are.

BE PATIENT LIKE A ROCK

BE PATIENT LIKE A ROCK

Be patient like a rock,
Life will wear away your jaggedness
and smooth you like a river stone.

Be uncertain like a river
and meander to the sea,
The route of least resistance
will speed your emptiness to me,

Use courage like a fist
 break  thru what holds you back,
Persevere, friends will support you
with the strength you think you lack,



Pray when all else fails,
and be lifted from your knees, 
Light and love and faith
 will carry you to me.

  THE GARDEN

Fear fuels our legs so we walk
And wander and wonder what 
We’re looking for and yet
We come home disappointed again
That we have not found “it”.


The feet take a beating 
As does hope.
The mind will never find
What the soul yearns for,

As scary as it is…

Open up your heart,
Risk pain and grief 
For surely they will visit
To teach you compassion 
For yourself and for all the rest

The many “you’s” you see
With the eyes of your heart
Consoles and fills that lonely 
Empty hole in the center 
Of your soul,
Out of which the force of love
And source of light 

Once again the Garden grows.
