faith and fire the drumbeat of the earth

keep the fires burning 

for whatever god you love the most

the most private of prayers 

burns in the most quiet of hours

you and the flame 

faith and fire 

the drumbeat of the earth

the whispers of heaven 

in the quiet folds of your ears

you have a secret name

and you speak it in the firelight

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Zhen-Zhen, my doggo

--

there is a field far away 

where I once buried a diamond

it was so long ago 

that I cannot remember exactly where the field is

or where on the field I did my digging

come sunrise let's go and search together

and until then let us count the seconds 

as if they too were jewels

who can sleep when dawn is coming

and somewhere out there 

a diamond is waiting

Step out of the circle of time and into the circle of love.

Midnight, the full moon, and a breeze blows down the valley. After sleeping for an hour I rise, sit on my meditation cushion, and pray. I to the universe, not to any god; you can laugh if you want to, or think I am foolish. I love science. I know the science of the moon, of the world, the solar system, creation. How humans developed from previous species. And I there's something lacking there, perhaps a science we have not yet discovered, a mystery we will solve one day, someday, that explains the spiritual connection of everything, because I know it exists. I feel it inside of me, this connection. I feel it when I see the moon, the stars, when another person touches my life. When the breeze blows down the valley at midnight. And I pray. The great mystery is my center, and I give thanks.

I’d say go to hell, but I never want to see you again.
