inhale as Sky exhale as Earth

[Guest guest]

"What we call 'I' is just a swinging door

which moves when we inhale and when we exhale."

 

"When you do something, you should

burn yourself completely,

like a good bonfire,

leaving no trace of yourself."

 

~Shunryu Suzuki~

 

 

Each and every night i am Breathed In,

into some Mysterious Satsangh in the Heart.

Not my Heart alone, not Your Heart alone,

but into the Great Magnetic Center of OneHeart.

As OneBeing we exhale and are Zazen, Wall, Hai and Mu.

 

When our God-Light made Love so intensely,

so excitedly with ItSelf through you and i,

the Sublime Shout that scattered out in Joy,

across this idea of time and space,

It was reality in Bliss, as Love.

 

Each time we uttered these sacred sounds -

Shivallah, Shivallah, Shivallah,

the Sea rose in Rapturous Response,

and the Sky broke open in Radiant, rivers of Light.

The crash and roar of Aum swept away hours of time.

 

Then, speaking to You, answering a question about rocks,

i said, "When i see it, i will know i have found it."

We bowed our heads together, and looking at One Point,

The Buddha stared up at us with Eyes narrowed in Serenity.

"It is wisdom which is seeking for wisdom."

 

"To polish a stone, when you become you,

Zen becomes Zen. When you are you,

you see things as they are,

and you become one with your surroundings."

The sun, even if it were to rise from the west,

the Bodhisattva has only one way.

 

 

)))) Exquisite One, You

on the couch

inhaling, exhaling

 

i sit before You

watching You sleep

 

the sacred space

Heart manifest as

Bliss of Love

 

it is always here

we swing through doors

we meet again

 

nothing has changed

 

the need for any

verification, obsolete

 

where You recline to

disappear in sky,

the Traceless

sits

 

the space between us,

an old idea

 

You are leaned slightly

sideways,

newspaper still in

Your Hands of Loving Light

 

when i am Touched by

Those Hands

 

when i am Touched by

Those Hands

 

there is a candle i lit

on the table before You,

burning

 

dishes done,

kitchen swept,

this Worship

 

inhaling, exhaling

 

this is for everybody

breathing, not breathing

 

swinging doors

 

then You open Eyes

You Smile

 

we say

"I love You"

 

we always tell each other

the Truth

 

 

 

LoveAlways,
