A Chance to Meet God

 

I see each meeting, one with the other, as a chance to meet God.

I believe the Lords reside within us, each and every one of us,

The good, the bad, the saintly and the liars.

Each person I meet holds the keys to eternity in their inner being, they  belong inside the shelter of

The essence of Krishna consciousness, Christ consciousness, and God consciousness that lives within them whether they know it or believe it or not.

When I look for it – in their eyes- I can see that spark of belonging in even the darkest of souls and know

Know that I am meeting the God consciousness within them and

Maybe really seeing them for the first time.

The Love and Stillness of Forever

Our destiny is love,

In its form of being and nonbeing.

It flows from the source,

From the beginnings of timelessness.

From the place of no time or deception as time is limiting and

Deception is the extinguisher of love.

Loves lies around the edges of our worldly existence,

Waiting for its chance, for an opening to flow in.

It is patient and forgiving but is not to

Be taken for a fool.

Love cries with agony watching our abuse of and unkindness towards each other

But it will never walk away or give up on us.

It sees and is the stillness in me and

Recognizes itself in you and all beings and nonbeings.

There is a lack of labeling in love, no separateness of one from the other.

It does not merely exist in some abstract form as it has no form and is alive in the stillness of all things.

Love seeps into existence in fragrant vapors of stillness and

Frames the portal to eternity.

Isness and non-duality are the very essence of love, the connection of being and nonbeing,

The beginning and the end, the beginingless and endless formlessness of all form.

Love is the essential formlessness of me and you and

The non-separate nature of us all.

So  forget my name but remember when you and I were the formless within each other.

And when you again feel that deep stillness  and

Have found your remembered place in me,

Come and  we will reside there together

In the love and stillness of forever.

 

Deep

Shallow people hurt shallowly,

Deep people hurt deeply.

Content people hurt with acceptance and

Complete people hurt with their whole being.

But what of the false people?

Their hurt is just an act.

Just the product of an end to a false relationship and

An opening to yet another false start.

I’d rather be deep and continue to hurt deeply than to

Never experience the truth that says 

A hurt that runs this deeply is just more proof of

The joy of having loved the same.
