Time / Timelessness

A battle is waged In the deep of me, An epic struggle 'Tween sand and sea, Where one resists The other, so free... Yet, no loss or gain Marks Eternity.

If all things are means, Then means are the end, Our pleasures and pains But a river's bend; So flow, flow on my soul, Let go . . . once again.

A great poem, a timeless stanza of thought, a true writing that stirs and swells the heart; what are these precious forms save a moment of Love plucked from Time to stand as testimony to a perfection briefly remembered as the living foundation of all things. The poet is presented the proposal, the moment where the Great Pain beckons him to marriage. He is awakened from a slumber to answer th...

We are, at our innermost core, instruments of the Divine... And the Divine is the Absolute: the total potential realms of all that is Light and Dark. We are unique creatures in the secret Essence of this unending expanse because not only are we the living instruments of all possible reflections along with their corresponding intonations, but we may know that we "sing " these colors; we may...

Some take the high road. Some take the low road. Some take the road with friends and family. Others take it alone. Some travel with clowns and animals. Some take only walking shoes. Some take the road with guru and saint, While others take the road with drunks. Some walk the road so slowly as to stand still, Even as some sprint toward a finish line as if it's in sight. Some...

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who passing over a certain ridge comes upon an unknown Mountain outside his country and there catches a glimpse of a valley within a valley..

Remastered Classic Talk: 07/06/16 - Calling on, and then allowing a spirit of unrest to help guide you to the peace that your heart of hearts seeks...Is like hoping that a stiff winter wind has come, just in time, to help you gather all the leaves that lay scattered across your lawn.

Classroom Talk: 10/30/2024 - The fear of what may lie just ahead does not exist without the unconscious parts of us clinging - painfully - to what no longer serves the purpose for which it was originally created.

Classroom Talk: 9/11/2024 - For anyone with ears to hear, there is but one question and one answer: will we wait patiently for a single moment of relationship with what is eternal and real? Where - by the ineffable touch of something as unknowable as it is timeless - all the moments of our life - past, present, and future - are forever changed? Otherwise, we waste the precious few moments of our life chasing the pleasure of an imagined time to come that recedes from our grasp in the same instant that we reach for it.

Classroom Talk: 1/10/2024 - Real life is change; it is creation revealing its endlessness. We can either realize our existence within its movement as a designated part of its Divine design, or can continue to struggle with unwanted moments in the false belief that our pain proves we know how the story of life is supposed to unfold.

Classroom Talk: 8/30/2023 - Part 1: Whatever is created in time... is a creation of time; and all creations -- in, and of time -- must pass when their time is up. Part 2: If we ever look closely, we would see that the fear we have of the future is always dressed as a beggar; but if we dared even a closer look, we'd see that not only does that beggar bear a striking resemblance to us...
