the silence
it can be full with the listening
  instead i reach for a thought
      which is backwards
it will take me backwards and lead me down a road i have been before
which has arrived
and brought me here

the tasks
i choose to perform
 bring
me to the simple
wash the clothes
in a bucket
hang the clothes on the line
wind and clothespins speak of a more simple
time

waves crash and sunset is far away in the distance

The silence here finds in me a most sincere place - there is no where to go I am with me and within me is all that sings with the birds 🦅 all that my breathe can muster to join the wind - already blinded within that blinding is christ dunbuat before me. I have knelt - cried - prayed for those I s as m confirming in sickness - my baked body wrapped in a S o r a n g as I kick puddles and to roam under god -

Shift

I connect most with these words when I release the "ego"mind

Whose values are A lie

And I hear tdjakes " the devil is a liar"

At some point, we need to stop identifying with our weaknesses and shift our allegiance to our basic goodness. It’s highly beneficial to understand that our limitations are not absolute and monolithic, but relative and removable. The wisdom of buddha nature is available to us at any time.

Birthday

Prayer this birthday morning

Is in the cry

For to release fear of the unknown

For this moment which is full enough

Of all life 

Can I just open a door

And slide my back against a wall

And watch a sleeping angel

And fill myself up with all the love the world has already blessed me with.

And the cry is a cry for peace

Amen and amen and amen

Acquainted with the Night

BY ROBERT FROST

I have been one acquainted with the night.

I have walked out in rain--and back in rain.

I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.

I have passed by the watchman on his beat

And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet

When far away an interrupted cry

Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;

And further still at an unearthly height,

One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. 

I have been one acquainted with the night.

Arrival

Travel day can be anything u want it to be- isn't it part of the adventure- plane on time plane delayed- is there really a difference when the arrical spans 20 nights- aren't we always arriving --- to the moment-

And the moments here are beautiful- gordon says time slows- I think he refers to it differently when he hears it then the gift of the words coming thru him.

I am present and I am caught- I love my children too much to not he egged in when their complaints arise of no electricity and no ac and yet they expect more then they are grateful for and isn't that my balance to offer not correct.

Peace is on this cove inthe dominican   republic and I pray that peace will and is residing in me.

Amen

Happiness

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS

by Burleigh

I followed happiness to make her mine, 

Past towering oak and swinging ivy vine. 

She fled, I chased, over slanting hill and dale, 

Over fields and meadows, in the purpling vale

Pursing rapidly over dashing stream, 

I scaled the dizzy cliffs where eagles scream; 

I traversed swiftly every land and sea, 

But always happiness eluded me. 

Exhausted, fainting, I pursued no more, 

But sank to rest upon the barren shore. 

One came and asked for food, and one for alms; 

I placed the bread and gold in bony palms; 

One came for sympathy, and one for rest; 

I shared with every needy one my best; 

When, lo! Sweet Happiness, with form divine, 

Stood by me, whispering softly, "I am thine."

KMG

How can one be measured or measure anything by the passing thoughts of this is good and this is not good.

Just last week at thanksgiving joy came thru as I felt in great closeness and love with all six of my sprawling-‎ just today two forthcomingly shunt me down- with words  that are like daggers yet remain someone unreal...

From a room with a view I live my day- ontop the mountains windows watch the snow and silence brings me within.

A candle and light that breaks thru the cloud pulls a chair with my hand to settle and time passes longer than the names I have to fill it with my prayers- as I'm torn away- 

In a knowing

That it's god who cares for me-

God who loves me

And God who brings all into my life

As I watch all my prayers unfolded in

A wil of time not my own.

I release and release all of what is deals towards me and give back only love-

Amen

Today

“Do not be deceived: God can not be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” 

Galatians 6:7. - and it’s my giving and suffering heart ❤️ god sees in spirit - always I am close to a tear of love and pain - loneliness and fullness - abased and abound - KMG
