Let's

[Guest guest]

My Pearl, tonight

let's get fetal with each other

let's curl up in that

womb of emptiness

wound together in the

wonder of our loving

afloat in the amniotic fluids of

this joyousness around us

dizzy in the vernal perfume of our

unborn bliss, the transparency of

simple revelation that we are

that, that dharma of

desire flowered into

letting go what's gone,

gone beyond any letting go,

never was,

just rolling in the gone-ness of

getting, grasping nothing,

smiling that smile You

smile when You

see me, i see You,

Beloved

Seeing, being

Seen

 

like now

 

a time when there really weren't

all that many concepts around yet,

the world was as it is,

just that, and

you place the bowl before me

we smile, the same smile,

glance of Guru revealed tonight in

archival Sri Ramana video

you played for us just now

 

Jai Guru!

 

Jai Guru!

 

Jai Guru!

 

Such Bliss is not elsewhere.

Such Bliss is not apart from

Your Liberating Glance!

Your Liberating Glance!

 

Your Liberating Glance

Is not apart from This!

 

It never ends

It has no limit,

The Heart!

 

Tears and Laughter!

 

You placed the bowl before me,

as you do now, as

You have always done,

Beloved,

Darling,

the Bowl tonight was

Filled with Arunachala!

 

Yes, we are still there,

which is to say,

it never left us.

 

How could it?

 

An ancient time, and yet

here it is now.

 

You and bowls and Open-bowled Heads –

Gratitude and Devotion!

 

It is the same Smile.

As then, now.

As now, always.

 

When we take each other's hand

around the table, poets suddenly

become speechless.

 

Being listens in.

Many beings surround us.

Happy beings, happy for us.

 

We bless them as

they bless us.

 

It's all Blessing, and

It's all good.

 

Serene compassion

expanding infinitely in place,

Radiant upon your Face.

 

Last night I watched You

with the raccoon.

 

Then we walked on,

You were laughing.

 

 

 

LoveAlways,
