Extending Onways
Extending onways
Full of praise
Continuous movement
Thru the days
Capture a moment
Dissolve it too
Savour the taste
The sweetness hue
Blessed are they
Who live this way
A gentleness there
Living aware
The extension of life
A mysterious road
Paved with love
The most precious gold
The journey on
The Way untold
Mastering navigation
As the maps unfold
Grateful always
For the guidance given
Sign posts appearing
‘til we reach the ribbon

Oppression and the Surfer
It’s a time of oppression, repression, depression
A time of recession, turmoil and greed
Recognize the symptoms are churning and burning
And the storm’s path is building – to where will it lead?
The waves that are rising and building and rolling
Are fed by the desperate ones who’re in need
Those who need water and clothing and shelter
Those who have families they’re wanting to feed
And if their call is unanswered, ignored or denied
The storms will keep building, keep spreading wide
All will be in its path, be ready, expect it
Be ready to receive it for there’s nowhere to hide
The storm of destruction, laying waste, creating change
Has a purpose of taking, levelling the field where we play
To experience in this lifetime what others are living
From this storm there’s no shelter – is there no other way?
It is the way of the surfer who rides the waves of oppression
Surfing waves of repression, of depression and greed
It takes a skilled surfer to ride it out, to stay balanced, heart-centred
As the storm waves increase, fuelled by the need
These waves are the big ones; they’re here to be mastered
The surfer has waited for them, waited many lifetimes
The surfer doesn’t consider the wave before or one after
This one’s to be surfed as the wall of water climbs
The water holds the info, the emotions, our journeys
The water has accumulated it, all is combined
The surfer can see it, can feel it, understand it
These are the emotions that can’t be confined
Know that the surfer will ride out the big one
The surfer is riding for all of mankind
The surfer is strengthened by courage and compassion
The surfer intends to leave no one behind
Cheer on the surfer, take a lesson, become one
Or at the very least intend to do no one harm
Give away… share… return to the basics
We’re all responsible for what’s fuelling this storm
As the storm clouds are building and the waves are increasing
Somewhere the sun’s shining and the waters are calm
There Surfer has reached the shoreline – the journey has ended
Surfer has returned and rests now on the Palm

Justice by Doing
Justice and not doing is
like a volcano spewing
Pressure builds up
and something erupts
If you’ve been on your journey
and you’re not an attorney
you will understand what we say
Go deep in your hearts
to discover your charts
that will guide you to the Way
The further you travel
the past will unravel
so travelling back is unsafe
And as you continue
that that has been you
will also dissolve by the day
Guided by truth
enables a tooth
to bite into only what’s palatable
That which is created
by intentions orchestrated
by other than Spirit can’t last
We’re transitioning now –
as you’d say, “Holy Cow!”
A glimpse of the new we can see
It’s impossible to continue
if anything you bring with you
is out of integrity so –
Ask questions to understand
Make choices – not by demand
Your hearts’ guidance will lead the Way
You’ve talked of observing
You’ve talked of allowing
Yet justice by doing must be
Fear not consequences
when you run into fences
There’s no barrier to the free
Incidents accruing
potential volcano spewing
build up when not dealt with one by one
Simply adjust
set the rocket thrust
and blast through all that’s unjust
No need to surrender
to explanations and ponder
once clarity is found in your hearts
Ask Spirit for guidance
Ask – don’t take a chance
Be clear in reading your charts
You’ll find the difference
when not being on defence
Set out and go for the goal
If you don’t mark it
you may miss the target
Seek Oneness in all that you do
Ask what is good for me?
Then what is good for you?
It’s the same when you focus on One
Fly and see like the Eagle
Come together like Seagulls
when seeking safety from the storm
Descend like the Dove
landing with Love
on Gaia – she’s waiting for you
If you haven’t addressed
the wrongs you’ve confessed
take time now to do and complete
For a heart that is open
there’s no law that is broken
if innocence or remorse was involved
When we are judging of others
our reflection’s uncovered
Look closely – is it you that you see?
The ups and the downs
for those who wear crowns
can be more extreme than for others
Each of you is a Star
and you’re always at par
with another who shines their light
Please brighten dear Stars
so you’re seen from afar
for others to navigate through the night
This time is important
Remember why you were sent
Your participation will bring in the New
If we are your equal
and you are the sequel
together our love is renewed
Cherish all of creation
Don’t be deterred by temptation
And don’t engage in battles unless
It’s a battle fought with love
a battle fought with joy
A battle for peace is with love
Be grateful to all
they’re sometimes here to call
to your attention
something you’ve missed
You are the tools,
the means and the way
We love you
We bless you
We are you
Let us complete
the journey of One
like each ray returning
to the centre of the Sun
The Heart of the Sun
the Heart of the One
Justice by doing’s then done
