The Substance You Taste

 

The sky-wheel turns us into dawn

and fills creation again with color.

 

Let it be our weakness, this thirst-love

for the world, the sun coming up

like red-gold being poured!

 

The potter's wheel moves,

and shapes change quickly

 

Let the jar I am becoming

turn to a wine cup

Fill me with your love

for being awake.

 

I'm no hypocrite renunciate.

Call me this delicious substance

you taste when you create new beauty.

 

Be strong, Hafiz!

Work here inside time,

where we fail, catch hold

again, and climb.

Thanks Khelaya, how sweet of you! Missed several days, when I was actually not

able to even get online! Oh, the horror, eh? With all that free time on my

hands, I was actually reduced to washing windows. Anyway, been trying to read

the archives and catch up a bit, lots of good messages there. They were able to

transfer the old hard drive to the new, so have all my stuff. Whew!

 

Love,

Glo

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean,

all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does

not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is.

Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee

relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into

It Self. Welcome all to a.
