The sun
setting
Fills the universe with light
Beyond understanding |
|
 |
|
|
Restless
wind
Encircling
Cave of silence |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
God is
Love, Life, Spirit
And in the giving of Jesus Christ
Lies all life worth living |
|
|
|
|
Green
still island
Floating
On veils of cloud |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The pomegranate
crown
Bursts forth
Its seeds to nourish |
|
|
|
|
The walnut
embryos wait
Tucked and enfolded
In the hard womb case |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The wild
cyclamen
Thrusts through the friendly earth
And tastes the cloudless sky |
|
|
|
|
Ripening
grapes ferment
And flow and in the celebration
Transforming all |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Hearts
beat steadily
Aware but unconcerned, ever present
Mind looks in |
|
|
|
|
Spaghetti
Must be eaten mindfully
Great attention to each strand |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| Nettles
only sting when grasped |
|
|
|
|
Stark
tree-form limbs reach
Out and speak of what once was -
What is, what might have been |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
(On seeing
child’s photo)
In your clear gaze
I find clearness
Your still image
Leads me to silence |
|
|
|
|
Adagio
On the heart strings
Pouring love |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The birds
are
Chirping their love songs
Exultation |
|
|
|
|
Winds
howling
The mountains are sitting
in meditation |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The acorns
fall from the tree
And hold within life
The promise of fruitfulness |
|
|
|
|
Olive
branch
waving in the wind
symbol of peace |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Clouds
passing
Revealing - obscuring
Life force |
|
|
|
|
Look at
me
Jesus says, in everything
Not yourself |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The eyes
that stare
Love demands
Rubbing legs gently |
|
|
|
|
Just one
stone was moved,
Flowing, expanding, the stream
Irrepressibly |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The howling
wind
Gusts energy
Breathing life and attention |
|
|
|
|
Everything
that is
Blooms as a flower
On the tree that is God |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
A tear
Rolls down and says
Thank you -
Adieu |
|
|
|
|
Wind
Earth exhales
And the clouds run for cover
From within the silence of the monastery
I am at one with the silence
Of nature without |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Autumn
trees
Give everything
Knowing there is more |
|
|
|
|
Intention,
Energy, Blood
Mantra returns to the heart
In returning, sustaining |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
One
Attention, Intention, Being
Love |
|
|
|
|
O great
mountains
Sheltering in your bosom
All of creation - plants, animals, humans |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
O little
stone
You may not be part of castle or monastery
But you are a member
Of the family of being |
|
|
|
|
The sun
gleams
The oak beams back |
|
|
|
