To life, living, love.

I have stumbled across an old poem I wrote many years ago. I recall my surprise at how easily the words and feeling tones flowed through me to empty onto paper and take on a physical shape. Sometimes I think that we “effort” too much instead of just being open to being and flowing, which is really the difference between control and freedom of our mind. At least freedom for/of my mind is what I have been striving for.

There have been many a time when I have said something and both the listener and I hear it at the same time. This was how I began my first class. I was chatting to others and the next thing I knew I was telling them of this class I was planning on doing…I was not conscious of this thought until I heard my words. This poem is another example of this in a way. I feel I write to show my mind where I want to be…and then I spend time growing into my words.

I learn by living, by doing. This is the value of studying Spiritual Philosophy… to begin to understand patterns of my mind, my life--of life. Spiritual Philosophy offers me very practical ways of living. It offers me answers that resonate in deep and abiding tones within me as my mind awakens to itself. It feels like the synthesis of life coming together in a harmony and familiar rhythm within my emotional heart, mind and spirit senses. I do celebrate life and toast the love of life!

To Life!

To life
where no ego-protective shell
needs hide the passionate soul.

To living
where music harmonizes in colours
and voices speak in shapes.

To love, truth and equality
forming dimensions of consciousness where
time does not exist and space IS.

The art is in the living, internally
supported, reflecting the trinity.
The healing has begun.
