Privacy

Privacy

stay away
let me be
i want my freedom
to retreat from we

and then there is oneness
where all are the same
each their part of expressing
the wholeness frame

able to feel, observe and allow
able to share and to others endow
their authentic presence, their perspectives
contributing to collaborative directives

privacy has its place
to know oneself with loving grace
to sit in solitude
to feel and be
letting go disturbances at the periphery
to empty out
to be still and silent
to communicate from the inner realms
to receive guidance, support
from our creative cohorts
to heal, to learn
to spend time to discern
what our feelings mean
how to turn up with our team
and grow the love

the artist will say
they oft need to stay away
from the confusion and illusion
of the chaos around them
to create from within
and then to begin
to be open to share
their art and to dare
to merge with the outer
with the beauty they give
that all may live
in true wholeness

Conscious Conversations

Conscious Conversations
a total awareness of who we are
as unique expressions of a single star
each a radiant ray of the one
each shining their contribution
this is how it is done
to sit in circle from wherever we are
to enter the field conscious of being the Mar
thru a meditative practice or the ringing of a bowl
to then enter a conversation
soul to soul
a conscious conversation at a soular level
releases the need for a planned agenda
whatever comes forth is honoured and shared
sharing perspectives without being compared
a piece is added to the continuing thread
woven carefully by the way its said
gaps of silence as we feel into the expressions
moments of laughter are welcomed digressions
the more we share, the more we are aware
recognizing we know nothing as we are the continuum
a flash of wisdom, an understanding
erasing old attachments as new perspectives are viewed
aware our knowingness is constantly renewed
the brilliance and power of coming together
sharing emotion and words right down to the letter
celebrating our oneness in such a palatable way
often so eager to share our say
and now what’s emerging as a powerful surging
as we continue our practice with its releasing and purging
emergent is the power of oneness, this powerful energy
that’s the co-creative force of our group’s active synergy
we are constantly aware of the presence that’s with us
we are tapping in to the multiverse megaplus
speaking beyond our remembered experience
eloquent
surprising ourselves in our deliverance
and choosing the power of words, each has an energy
we recognize the collapse of our field when out of alignment
what is this awareness of words, their use and assignment?
and here we explore:
*seldom is there the use of the word “i”
we express our perspectives from the oneness of we
group consciousness, one heart
*we avoid being the teacher where our personal experience is the truth – sharing one’s perspective is only part of the proof – we may say “my experience has been”
*we do not declare that another is wrong
but can alter a perspective by figuratively ringing the gong
and inserting with clarity another reflection
changing our direction without it being a correction
*we use the words “i feel” rather than “i think”
honouring where we are speaking from
heart coherence, heart intelligence
*and perhaps most importantly, we arrive to be totally present
committed to sharing, to speaking, to listening thru our hearts
for only by being authentically present no matter our physical/emotional state
can we turn up, wanting to be part of what we might discover, co-create
in our conscious conversation
blessed be this feeling of oneness
we seek it, we crave it and will recognize its doneness
we will be fully conscious when all can speak and listen this way
for communication from the heart is living the Way

The New Currency

The New Currency

dollars and cents really don’t make sense
what is their history?
a basic exchange, a way to rearrange
simplicity

an expression of gratitude
a measure of value
an offer to help
a sharing of abundance

whole economies and global mistrust
have evolved from a manipulation
of currencies, investments, lending
and borrowing – a created illusion

what is the solution?
let’s try inclusion
from a place of no ego
and no owing

the currency of love
what if our focus was on giving not receiving?
what if we totally investigated our believing
that money matters?

does not our true joy
come from loving kindness?
can a sharing economy be created
from generosity dissolving our blindness
acknowledging the suffering of others
celebrating the gifts we can share
educating, elevating others
to a place of simple comfort
simple sustainable co-existence
on this beautiful planet of co-habitation

can we live from a place of “no rules for me”
simply doing our work as:
an expression of gratitude
a measure of value
an offer to help
a sharing of abundance?

a life long investment
in the circling spiral
of life
and of love

this is and always has been
our primary currency
all other currencies and exchanges
can be subsets of the above
if they simply fit
