going, going, gone

 

Watch the colors consecrate the sky

Like watercolors not allowed to dry

Crimson into indigo

A blush of pink at dawn

Going, going, gone

going, going, gone

 

i remember seeking refuge from some storm

Believing love lay with my lover's form

My arms reached for assurances

As if i could hold on

Going, going, gone

Going, going, gone

 

Like a kaleidoscope

The patterns change: they rise and fall

We can cling to the shape of things

Or find the hand that turns it all

 

When she died i tried, but i could not find

A trace of her in the body left behind

She danced awhile, and then the life

That lived her was withdrawn

Going, going, gone

Going, going, gone

 

Can you bear, can you bear the beauty

With the pain?

And face the truth, bittersweet,

That nothing will remain

Nothing but pure consciousness

Before, beneath, beyond

The going, going, gone

The going, going, gone

 

Like a kaleidoscope

The patterns shift and rearrange

We can cling to the shape of things

Or finally, ask, what does not change

 

So i must serve the eternal flame that burns

>From which we came, to which all of this returns

On the alter of the infinite

i lay my life, my song

Going, going, gone

going, going, gone

 

Going, going

Going, going...

 

 

Love,

Mazie

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.

.....Dear Shawn,

LoveAlways,

=================

Thank you, Bob!

And you are a laser as usual!

I was going to read the Wonder of Futility......but what's the point of that?

Oh yeah, PLAY! What a great paradox eh?....an essay entitled the Wonder of Futility.

The ones made happy by experience have no desire to look for

more....untill that pendulum swings round again and then WAM! GET ME

OUT OF HERE!! We must really "get it" that there is *no* *out*

love,

Shawn
