Anam Cara

Anam Cara

a Celtic formula

a longing response..

a friendship

of soul

with the Other..

a constriction first

perhaps a limit

within solitude

allowing the soul

a gathering strength

preserving one's light

in secret..

then the journey

immersion in life

and return..

remembering

Anam Cara...

a descent 

1000 feet down

to pristine silence

a Silence

on surface unknown..
guide speaks there of
miners and animals
struggling to eke
in candlelight
daily bread from
earth's stubborn veins..
encasement:
gold in rocks
ounces in tons..
and that Silence
encasing life's
 suffering and toil..

Grocery list

Grocery list

this question filters

in job interviews..

let's ask ourselves:

finding a basket

then how to shop..?

does sequence rule

aisle by aisle..

 with that prepared

grocery list..

no list at all

simply a walk

down the aisle..

right or wrong

answers

or is job seeker
Self-Awareness

the only Answer...?

Wild eye

Wild eye

a fortunate photo

towhee up close

sentimental bird..

red eye warns

 nature's wild

constricted point..

seeing here

what one sees

in restless tiger's

fearsome eye...

an Orgasmic burst

an Orgasmic burst

of flavor

in an A-ha moment..

at these differences

we smile.. :)

fractals are about

similarity and difference..

connectedness rules..

Let us inquire 

of the similarity

in the bursts above..

all similarities 

 find Torus shape..

Torus is formula

 iterating creating all

differences we find..

On a vertical column
curved surface surrounds

a hidden black hole..

at a Point

 black hole turns white..

now our bursts

all are as One..!

The Torus needs

 motivation to move

arousal and stimulation

below and above..

all this Similarity

iterates the differences

so striking we see..

More differences now:

 succulent juices

pulses and flow

DMT liquid light..

all these differences..

really..?

we smile again.. :)

OK, Mae...

Omnivore Love

Omnivore Love

You stand before the cutting board,
excited appetite
juices flowing in your mouth
and in the tender meat.
Hungry man, do turn your gaze
Devour me too !

The Plain

The Plain

Looking back at

youth's energy field..

the formative Plain

belongs to him

and to me..

There penetrating

notes and words

imagine each day

a long gray line..

Songs instilled then

 return often in

memory's moments..

an entanglement

Plain and cadet

a grip and

a far off hold..

A grip of 

youthful strength

courage in war.. 

the Plain's gift

sustains special

belonging

through earthly life..

Also are found

in lurking shadows

voices crying out

for new resolution

new perspectives

longings of 

advancing years..

A new journey

not to the Plain..

a road of ascent

a path resurrecting..

with signpost mottos

to remind and replace

those cased in gold..

Now with pause

a glance backward

in joy reveals

new Clarity of that

formative field..

the Plain's shadow

grips and holds..
grounding a 

dim yet searching
 inner light...


for Paul
and for me

As above

As above

Greenstone bridge

Greenstone bridge

Creek trickles under

an old arched bridge

trees rooted feet

have their plenty

What is meaning

or simply wordless

Swiss rifles and bayonets

Swiss rifles and bayonets

no poetry

he said

but guns today..

a friend's fixation

military weapons

Swiss are these:

famous Schmidt-Rubin group

Model 1911 infantry rifle

Model 1911 carbine

and others..

Now for bayonets:

Model 1914 Pioneer 

(awesome he exclaims..!)

Model 1918

(zzzzzingg when from 

scabbard pulled..!)

weapons sound of

craftsmanship unbound..!

Enough for you

my dear reader..?

Swiss are these

to him they please..

This poem a

difficult write..

so did a quick

Google meander..

Also that forced

So might we pause 

 admire Greg's guns

with some spin...?

this will have to do,

Theory of Every-thing

Theory of Every-thing

for science

an illusive goal

try and fail..

 Every-thing is shrunk

 energy and matter

hidden and dark..

with added surprise:

Every-thing is

accelerating away..
notable here in
science frustration:
their outward focus
Every-thing out there..
might we ask
What is out there..?
with holistic sense
our holograph brains
processing waves
interference patterns
making apparent
Every-thing seen..
Might this seed
blossom one day
 looking for that
Theory of 
EVERYTHING...?

Prokaryote

Prokaryote

Single cells no organelles
with membranes permeable
respond with will to live

Prokaryote so simple
no nucleus  no lack
nearing food evading harm
Membrane assures survival
  expanding one to two

Membranes of the human
process mystery
When shall we admit
our brains do not direct
our intricate survival

understand membrane as membrain, Bruce Lipton, The Biology of Belief

Pineal

Pineal

A minute gland

pinecone resemblance

a mid-brain singularity..

perhaps dimensional

transition..

Secretions of fluid

some call sacred..

New realities revealed

emotional reports exclaim:

more real than real..!

New century questions:

a final frontier..?

is this contact

of extra dimensions..?

a liquid light

of prophecies

our identities

our futures now

 in sight...?

Group for Understanding

Group for Understanding

Trying to en-vision
a group's Self..
A profound necessity:
preserve at once
Each and All..
locating similarity
sensing the group's
 one Name..
yet relish each 
 difference surprise..
two dimensions
each member 
in Awareness
should own..

Still insufficient
the mapping above..
departure is next..
find our location
this morning
or at nightfall
this very moment..
A new venture
just Now begins..
paths in Ocean's
 oneness..
 on each path
Awareness remains...

Unmasking

Unmasking

Of success

masks of deeds

degrees well earned

ladders ascended

heroism one time..

all of these

each one's own..

masks of success

hiding ourselves

from ourselves..

Of failure

in mirror image

with extra power

hiding ourselves 

from ourselves..

Unmasking

throws questions..

venerate success..?

castigate failure..?

Success 

masks itself..?

and failure too..?

now breathing:

ego unmasking

as we go...

Now? (Robert Moss)

Now..?

Robert Moss Dreams

"The time is always now, but when the passions of the soul are at work the time is also go. I know this as a writer. Often my best work is done when I am in a state of great turmoil, when my passions are running strong but my heart and mind are also conflicted. Such moments give us an edge." - Robert Moss, The Three Only Things.

Mr. Magpie

Mr. Magpie

Bird of duality

distinct black

and white..

but then:

a high perch

seeing all..

in swooping flight

separates join and

one body soars..

Mr. Magpie retorts

I'm two in one..

Then this from
a friend:
you are forgetting
the thievery..
How about thievery
 Mr. Magpie..?
collecting and
hoarding of
shiny objects..?
Mr. M. once more:
black is thievery
shiny is white..
I'm two in one..!

Thanks ERB!

A shutter in-sight:

photos as art

in picture taking..

internal awareness

find this first..

then peering out

coaxing out symmetries

eye for surprise..!

ubiquitous torus shapes 

image plus shadow..

these friendly allies

identify us and
properly  focus

A poetry in-sight:
find blank sheet
and follow with
all the above...!

Hole in the Sun (NASA)

Hole in the Sun

A Hole in the SunCredit: NASA/SDO/AIAFriday, June 7, 2013: An extensive coronal hole on the sun rotated towards the Earth during the week of May 28-31, 2013. The massive coronal area represents one of the largest in a year or more. Coronal holes produce strong solar wind gusts that carry solar particles out to the Earth’s magnetosphere and beyond. These holes appear darker in extreme ultraviolet light images (as in this photo, which combines three wavelengths of UV light) because less matter exists at the temperatures observed. The coronal hole may generate some auroral displays on Earth.

Morning sun

Morning sun

In morning sun

yellow-green leaves

black branches

such contrasts flow..

yellow sun warmth

seems to pull..

pulls the sensations

fullness and growth

and makes nature
 luxuriant once more..

hidden chirpers note

the dawning of

summer...

Finding ourselves

Finding ourselves

Two or three

gathered

or more..

tribes and nations

families

June lilac petals

the universe..

Each is searching

for illusive identity..

Then into our

organs and cells

the joining somehow

of local and large..

Quietly listening now

to holo-gram whispers

from each and all..

all contains each

and each all..

Whispers ask us

to find ourselves

on roadways with

two destinations

always arriving 

and departing from

ports of call:

Each and All... 

A gray day

A gray day

subdued clouded

Scaling of light

we respond

our internal scales

mirroring..

downcast some are

What matters though

are relational things

 darkened contrasts..

A Wakened

relational spirit

may bring reward:

Dimensions

Dimensions

Science

has searched for

those extra dimensions..

Fiction

imagines spaceship travel

wormholes as tunnels

to other worlds..

Perhaps your search

and mine should

turn around toward

vast innerspace..

Locate our center

as the place

 all dimensions meet..

and our growth

frequent recognition of

a relational whole

lower and upper

edges and spirit...

 for Phil

First in memory

his joyous life..

life on earth

down here midst

plant animal and us..

Peace and wartime

his proud traditions

military and flag..

yet with discoveries

visions of more..

His mention recalled:

Mystery of Three

in One..

this faith nourished

his energy lifelong..

To many seeming

larger than life..

A family filled

his patterns of love..

 Those sporting fields

of friendly strife..

For my part:

A remarkable depth

his reaching insight

of rich difference

uniqueness of each..

Missions accomplished

before even begun..

With pause now

from remembered years

I have reached

my Point of 
joy with tears...

the Point of tears

the Point of tears

the Point

hovers between

joy and sorrow..

and it contains

a precious revelation

two emotions one..

Such fullness awakens

a birdsong rises

living creation unfolds..

and tears then

begin to flow...
