Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Nothing More Be here now Now be here Here and now be Ride the tide of the moment Savor the aliveness, the vitality Be with the subtlety of movement That simply is And nothing more -Bill 7-8-03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 A beautiful poem Bill. Such fluidity of movement. Like an arrow caught by the breeze... The very tip of the arrow Flying in perpetual newness Letting the breeze be empty Of assessment And of feelers To be this tip alone Moving in newness Flying within emptiness Here and now In the tide of the moment In love with what is Such subtlety of movement. > Nothing More > > > Be here now > Now be here > Here and now > be > Ride the tide of the moment > Savor the aliveness, the vitality > Be with the subtlety of movement > That simply is > > And nothing more -Bill > 7-8-03 > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And: Letting the breeze be empty Of assessment And of feelers empty of assessment and of feelers... Now isn't that lovely. Yes, this arrow is " comfortably numb " caught here in the breeze, and the bow... it does seem slack. And " no wind " is blowing a mighty gale, I see it following my vapor trail. Who am I, what am I, all that left behind. Hmmm... do you think space is curved? And where is the " no wind " blowing to do you think? Why I think it is blowing into my navel. And from there into my heart. And the curve of space unfolds from here. I think I'll descend into the Emptiness of Now, and quaff a cup of Light. Wow. Heady stuff! Yep! That's me. Unborn Again.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Scattered thoughts of the tip of an arrow... The arrow's tip! Not the arrow itself Are you regressing, receding, retreating Letting your mind and emotions make sure the way if safe? Best not to venture out in front In front of these baggaged issues Rather sit back behind them in safety Controlling the flow of what comes in I'll drive the ship And keep watch for the rocks Best be safe Only a fool lets the tide take his boat The very tip of this sharpened arrow Is a vulnerable, raw and defenseless place to be Who will protect me if I go there? Best to sit at the feathers and steer. Or I could venture out for a tiny peak I've come to wonder just what I'd see... Floating in softness A sea of calm Gently residing In God's nurturous palm That's enough! Enough! There's no control out there Phew! Back to safety I can not dare! Just to be the tip And the tip alone To find the answer To every koan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
