Soon the light will riseand the pale morning mist will roll down,through the pine trees and into the openwhere it will be dispersed by the warmth of the sun,thus night will end and so the day will dawn,what was hidden will be revealedand with it all that needs healing,look in your books, look to yourContinue reading “Dawn”

Once you are free,I mean owned by your soul,then the walls of your prison,the bars at the window, the door,the hinges, the lock and the keyall become your servantsand your jailers become your allies. DF. W-S 2005 XXXIX/XI

There’s a beautiful light,an indestructible light deep within usthat is both radiant and receptive,it doesn’t just shine, it can absorb, rejoice and weepbut more than just this, it can love, it is love,and now, as we stand on the edge of oblivion, united in fear,it wants to live, because this edge is the threshold toContinue reading “The age of love”

I feel your fingers trace my spine,my spine, the first part of me, the record keeper,and you pressing gently between the vertebra,as if they were the keys on a piano, finding the tune,the tune of my life, the dark places, the unfinished parts,the parts weary from work as well as the parts that will notContinue reading “My spine”

Better to press on and find the source,theContinue reading “Sooner or later”

All this disturbance,the wars we fight within ourselvesand with each other, the hatred and the bloodshed,it’s all happening within a pool of perfect peacethat glistens with light, vast and without end …what a terrible way to have to discover it! DF. W-S 2005 XXXIX/IV

I saw the winter frostsparkling in the moonlight this morning,walked under the buds on the trees,waiting for spring to unfold them,I heard the sound of my feetechoing on the pavementand felt my heart beating fasteras I climbed the hill towards our house.I don’t know if there really is a Godbut if there is, then letContinue reading “Creation”
