poem – Page 5 – Feel with Neil

I am being loved (2). You. Your Power. A Christface

Each of you who has loved me has been God’s face for those moments

Contrast. Paradox. Fullness.

Light and shadows at once. The dark sides of trees against a lit up lawn and sky. The light and the shade both suck us in. And we suck in light and shadow. We are both. We are neither. We are the full scene. And more. A more without end.

Knots

There’s a phrase, “A knot in my chest.” It is not, “A knot in my heart.” Why?

Partly cloudy

A strange day of mixed messiness I see from my back porch while I sip. I see shadows, and the brightness of sunshine, but no blue sky. Lots of birds singing love songs to prospective mates, and a distant lawnmower’s soothing drone, human industry and imposition of neatness. Messy mix

Ear kiss in gray morn

Coffee before the sun comes up. But there was no sunrise today. The gray dawn grew merely more brightly gray

Dark Night of the Soul (1) – Mirabai Starr

“…the darkness is nothing but unutterable radiance… you are ready… to be annihilated in love.”
