YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE

Wherever I turn, I see You.

In heavy, rolling clouds You are present.

And as the wind, whipping and tearing through the day, it is only You.

I feel You too.

Shining through the faces of those I know and those I am meeting for the first time.

We recognize one another, You and I.

We know in an instant who has boldly taken a sip.

Imbibed the wine of the Self,

And become drunkenly lost in the embrace of You.

IN THE LIGHT

You call to me in the light, sparkling and shimmering, as dew on the soft grass.

Here too, as wide leaves opening to receive, I see you.

In thorny branches twisting and turning to find their way, I feel your longing.

We believe we are seeking.

In Truth, you wait patiently. All you desire is to draw us into your great heart, to hold us close and to whisper,

''I Am Here Always.''

RADIANT YOU

The joy of your fragrant, soft touch is beckoning me once more, whispering to turn and gaze into your heart, so wide and deep, I feel it beating as my own.

Petals arched back, reaching to the soft, pale blue sky, you give everything.

Sharing your beauty and light, you are a lovely gift, reminding us all to be still for just a moment and to let go, falling into the vast radiance that we are.

THE BEAUTIFUL WARNING

You did warn me, many lifetimes ago, how I had to be strong and wide enough to contain everything.

Now joy spills out, so vast, it tears at the skin and bursts through this little form, wrapping itself in and around the wide world.

And pain too. I know every sorrow as my own.

Each crevice and fold of it, presses into tissue and bone.

When I believed myself separate from you many, many moons ago, you whispered:

''Are you strong enough to contain everything?''

Now I Am looking through your eyes and you are looking through mine.

I know your secrets.

I know you soothe pain, and you whip joy into wild, ecstatic delight, making it so complete there is no room for anything else.
