This liquor I drink, the air I breathe,
Belong to the very way I exist:
I've never discovered how to resist
These hapless sensations I conceive.

Nor have I ever ascertained
If I really feel what I feel.
Am I what I seem to myselfe - the same?

We set forth to betray
lifes universal's bay

of life's long lasting bills

To learn a new fortune

is it all in our minds
that we all need to tame?

Do we exclude imperfection

and justify our defeate...
to alliances together
and love ever more...

here is a quote from Tilpoa, in his teachings to Naropa,

Do nought with the body but relax;
shut the mouth and silent remain;
empty your mind and think of nought.
Like a hollow bamboo rest at ease your body.
Giving not nor taking, put your mind at rest.
Mahamudra is like a mind that clings to nought.
Thus practicing, in time you will reach Buddhahood.

Vrksasana

Wintertrees stand in groups along the road, freeforming.
Unconscious of comparison, listening,
An infinite variety of shapes stretch to the sky.
Grounded deep in divinity, energy rises
Exhaling, releasing , awareness increasing
Second by second, expressing in changeless change
The movement of creation: God expressed.
Underground, the finest roots eventually entangle
Connection is inevitable.

Sitting in a booth,
miles from Yogic Enlightenment,
(it's so noisy there-)
chatter, and mats on shoulders, and shoes off, and yoga fashions.
A hundred and fifty dollars to carry fabric, not leather, dear.

Almost funny.
Very funny.

Here it's cozy and it comes with a Denver Omelet and motorcycle dudes with muscles, and
young kids with long hair, and a pot-bellied manager collecting cash.

God speaks to every individual through what happens to them moment by moment. These moments are stamped with the will of God and we find all that is needed. We are bored with the small happenings around us, yet it is these trivialities, which would do marvels for us if only we did not despise them or fail to notice them. If we abandon ourselves to God,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (simpleyogini) http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/4772 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 13:34:17 GMT http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/4773/t/The-Promotion.html by James Tate

I was a dog in my former life, a very good
dog, and, thus, I was promoted to a human being.
I liked being a dog. I worked for a poor farmer,
guarding and herding his sheep. Wolves and coyotes
tried to get past me almost every night, and not
once did I loose a sheep. The farmer rewarded me
with good food, food from his table. He may have
been poor, but he ate well. And his children
played with me, when they weren't in school... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (noswrite) http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/4773 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 00:10:34 GMT http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/4763/t/Love-.html or the way a key fits
in a lock.
In the same way there is
a place in my life
shaped like you.
Before you came,
I did not even know it was there.
But afterward, I knew
I had always had it,
this quiet and waiting space
in the middle of my heart
that you and only you
could fill.

where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;

it is in pardoning that we are... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (erichsprincess) http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/4776 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 08:19:19 GMT http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/4774/t/Everything-I-think-I-m-Missing.html
