On the way a happy knight

wearing armour for a fight.

meeting demons with sharp sword,

riding his horse in name of lord.

Now to this brave knight's great dismay

soon he himself became the prey.

Every time the sharp sword blows

the grinning demon stronger grows.

An inexperienced surrender.

Like an offer frail and tender

towards the feet of nameless falling

help and mercy he was calling.

His body turned to earth and clay.

Drying too fast this sunny day,

cracking like a breaking jar.

Protection gone, he won't get far.

But falling bits of clay revealed.

Himself, a golden form unsealed,

appearing under fractured skin.

Motionless and calm within.

When humble demons disappeared

the plot was gone and stage cleared.

No question did I have to ask,

even if it happened quick

as if done by a smart trick,

since I am the writer of this play

about the cracking mask.

A week ago I had these lines

I thought it was no good

the story was untold

I turned them into gold

with too few words

I guessed nobody understood.

Once

Dear Friends,

i read a story on a Hallmark card, and how fitting to be

called "Hallmark," for it is so. This is what it says:

Once,

a group of Siamese monks

covered their precious golden Buddha

with an outer covering of clay

to keep their treasure

from being looted.

The golden figure lay hidden for centuries.

We are all like the clay Buddha

covered with a shell of hardness

created out of fear,

and yet underneath is a "golden essence,"

our real self.

Sometime along the way

we began to cover up our natural self.

Our task now is to discover

our true essence once again.

Jack Canfield (adapted)

"You've always had a Heart of Gold."

Love,

Mazie/join

 

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.
