Airport Love

I'm a traveling man
my carry-on strapped to my back
baby girl drops me off at the airport
so lifted by the love of my life

Consciously stepping to inner rhythms
energy of fellow travelers feels so fast
the center of all I can feel deep within
breathe in breathe out lets get high

I walk through security almost touching the rays
slowly moving as I witness my thoughts
I hear tears and such loss from a sweet soul
off with my shoes, belt, and jacket to be scanned

As I grab my things christmas music fills my being
awareness of suffering enters my domain
can I bring comfort to this good woman?
drop my discomfort and move with love in my heart

My father has also passed not too long ago
immediately we embrace and hold each other
a moment birthed in heartfelt compassion
never meeting before, never meeting again we are One

I feel wings spreading behind my body
at any moment a breeze would pick me from the ground
flying when I am ready touching all things
the universe full of surprises for creation

Moving through time also witnessing its demise
in slow thinking and moving will we find peace
today is the day of great happenings
stars continue aligning in favor of this great future

A big smile from the girl at caribou
patiently waiting for another to pay
slowly moving no rush what beauty may come
throw caution to the wind lets make love

Wisdom is living on such deep a level
brought by questions not surface talk
what is your passion can bring joy from the heart
Serving people and smiling for all time

With a beautiful smile she gently reveals her secret
It takes more energy to be angry all the time
this bright star serving coffee just lit up my world
Christ herself in the flesh hands me hot water for my tea

We cannot know god if we refuse even one soul
it takes every one of us to create heaven
as our individual hearts begin to break open
our collective experience breathes creation of paradise

I float on towards my departure gate
at peace with all things except for oil use
what a time to be born all over again
I find great adventure in the airport of love

Let Love Prevail

Times when I find that my insides are still dark
Pieces of my never-ending puzzle
opening doors which open to more space
working to find a message that will relate

Its an ever shifting game I continue to play
I am a new person today and continue to grow
Like a flower at the point before the colors sprout forth
I am relaxing and enjoying whatever the sun may bring

My eyes are towards the heavens
angels surround me day and night
softly toughing my skin reminders I'm alright
thank you blessed beings for the warmth of your love

Today is the only day I will ever see
what dreams may come are yet to be created
Centered in this chaos seeing beauty that it is
Joy sprout from the choices I make
I choose to be Love

Live to Grow

Its myself I see in my surroundings
brings new light to my hunger
Seth says the teacher is reality
my eyes begin to widen

Not my eyes but my awareness
universal flow through my veins
red mixed with fire and lightening
fingers tingle with the rights to dream

I give my all to the inner child
crying please I must be happy
no reminders needed just let it go
witness to the experience of flesh

I am not here nor am I there
its my limits that bind the soul
like hands tied behind a fighter's back
a couple swings create the blow

Gone with the sorrow of the world
great speed can take my center away
who is it that is lost at sea
Center point never gives up position

My questions persist until I have no more
many times I felt I'd reached the peak
no no no young sir much life to live
the soul is one hell of a coach

Tap in to the world you live
question always question all
the end my friend will never come
in this life we live to grow.

Feather Weight

Feels like rain is failing
my body is the drops
losing this sense of separation
I am spread out and alive

To touch the tree is to know
lost between bark and branch
forever I will continue to breathe
these boundaries shed like new season

Into the void I stepped and fell
this free fall bends my soul
Ive hung onto my sense of existance
only to meet experience I have outgrown

Am I way behind or ahead of the game
could be that I'm catching up
lost those measurements of space and time
sitting here and free like a falcon

Together we can build a bridge
the gap aint to far but rough
connected to you and you to me
lets get together and feel alright

Woah son thats heavy blame
judge less of yourself and be happy
we will carry the torch of light and love
in this world to shine from the heart

Singing words of understanding
this knowledge needs not be tested
I bow to you good child of gods
for now we are light as feathers

Beautiful Rabbit

He had no carrot in his hand
"what's up doc" was not his call
as River made his final push
parties of the game, they had a ball

To me death seems a funny thing
as I skin great River's kill
just an exchange of energy is the truth
Beautiful Rabbit enjoyed the thrill

The food chain seems so solid yes
biology will certainly agree
I thank the forces of Mother Earth
for this beautiful Rabbit brought to me

The connection so vital between We and Her
separation just illusionary
my hands show blood, guts and fleas for sure
next time maybe he'll be less hairy

My food came not from industrial farms
no corn was fed out of line
my dinner tonight was raised on herbs
and soaked in Earth and wine

My feet are rooted firm in Her
so grateful for the love
Mother nature has such great intentions
Beautiful Rabbit shows her touch

.....................................................................

There are many ways to reconnect with the Earth. Her wisdom is contained in the exchange of energy between dog (River) and the beautiful rabbit which sacrifices its life for the good of another. As we are pure energy, so are the characters in this true story. When we turn a blind eye to the mass production of food, we lose our roots, our connection, our lifeline to our Mother. It is her rhythms which enable us to relax and release the troubles which we grasp onto for proof of our own existence. Each animal, each leaf, each doughnut carries with it the energy with which it experienced life and when we allow our food to be treated disrespectfully, we become that disrespect. It lives inside of us and feeds our emotions and disconnections. Learn about your food. Learn how to eat locally, and thank your food for its life experience.

Love

Who's to Say

Who is to say what is right or wrong
no defense for my take on reality
just know that you can love
as I have loved

Thought pile on thoughts
no sleep for the moment
restless in bed wanting freedom
zendo under the sheets of motion

trust there is no future
past is fiction like Moby Dick
great tales make even better visions
we build dreams from what is felt on the heart

I stay lost like a ship at sea
paradise in the great storm
I believe there is much more
under the flesh of a wandering jew

We have more prophets than can be mentioned
some will touch and others fade
is anybody really important
breaking away from the circus of soap-box

I cannot be right nor wrong in my life
to prove my point defeats the purpose
tomorrow's wisdom remains unknown
centered in to feel this moment's gifts

Just a vessel in the sea of souls
waves slowly calm and reflect
doing my best to be quite honest
light breaks forth in emptiness

A man who sits and achieves great nothing
allow he will not amass a fortune
nor will man understand his questions
tranquility exists in the space of release

Away from the body and troubles of old
here awareness waits so patient
a blade of grass with magic thoughts
little children laugh with enlightenement

Dream on

Young man I understand that this world makes no sense
but in this life you will come to represent
the dreams that you hold and the truth you have seen
people stopped in the street minds all bent from your miracles

I've been told a million times that my dreams have been done
no way that can be true 'cause I am the dreamer
finding inspiration in the feats of my brethren
blessings upon you for living your dream

I cannot stop in the face of disappointment
gotta tweak my dream, learn from others
connected to everyone though impossible it may seem
here is the flesh that is pure creativity

Trust me in this that your energy is pure
don't let the naysayers drag you down
like the current you cannot see they will pull
but you are on a throne of wonder dreaming on

I get down plenty thinking I have missed my chance
but my soul leads like the tuxedo in a waltz
I am living my dream but there is no end
infinite motion in the ocean of the universe

When I know that I don't know I am free as a bird
untouched by the solid realms of material
who can touch what does not exist
follow your heart and wake up in your dream
