Currents

Let the currents take you

your mind set free

forward you go

on your endless journey

The Mirror

Let us be the mirror of the universe

carefree and full of joy

at one with all creation

Stop Looking

Stop looking and you'll find happiness

The still mind

The still mind is the mirror of the universe

Listen

Listen to the waters

there awaits the answer to all

within the subtle sounds

Yield to the silence

The teachings of the world

illusions cast by jesters and magicians

incantations from serpent's tounges

that part when we yield to the silence

Cleansed

Our tears cleanse the soul

all troubles washed away

Taking Tea

Each moment a ceremony

to be lived as fully as possible

Temples

Temples and shrines

monuments of folly

fading beliefs

make them so

Tech, Made Easy

If it makes your life easier, good

If not, move on

Ageless

The spirit is ageless and free

Clear and Free

Reflections of the mind

show us our true selves...

let this mirror be clear

and free from distortion

All Clear Ahead

A clear mind opens up the road of our journey

The Mist

When the mist lifts

we will find our path

right before us

Transformation

Transformation begins within

with open heart we transcend

Who we were

We Mourn

captured glimpses of the past

flashing by in fleeting moments

in their wake

we struggle to remember

who we were

Obstacles of Youth

Caught in the obstacles of youth

a tangled web of wishful dreams

that will only bring unhappiness

and decades of suffering

We've got it all wrong

Our priorities are often wrong

and simply not what's best for us

Figments of the past

Our memories

figments of imagination

there for us to forget

The world within

We reflect the world within

Following Others

We won't get to where we need to go following others

Up to us

It's up to us to make our journey matter

In the middle

The bridge between the past and present

is now, in the middle

where we always find ourselves

Blooms

All blooms fade away

Punishment

Learn to let go

or suffer from the punishment

of not doing so

From the Void

The truth of who you are

is found in unattached moments

void of observation

Accident

Fate is no accident

it is in the nature of things

Ruin

Memory is ruin,

anticipation futile....

let them not steal the now

Swim

Awaken to the moment

swim in it

Bound to fall

Chasing the illusion of happiness

one is bound to fall

rather than transcend

and be at peace
