A Simple Meditation to Quiet a busy Mind

July 24, 2008

Try using this for example if you’re having difficulty sleeping because of thoughts racing through your mind, or even during the day if you need to calm and destress.

It’s probably best to close your eyes as you imagine each setting.

Perhaps read through the whole thing a couple of times and then try to follow the path in your mind with your eyes closed.

Love Reading

July 9, 2008

It’s strange these lines of long and short,

These little symbols back and forth,

Can bring such meaning to your brain,

They run along just like a train.

In your head they join like dots,

Making pictures filled with lots,

Of faces, places, thoughts and times,

New worlds are made inside your mind.

Magic dwells inside each book,

And in you, if you chance to look.

Peruse these reams of black and white,

And your thoughts will fill with streams of light.

A book’s not just a thing you read,

It plants in you a magic seed,

And when the seed begins to grow,

Ideas, dreams and thoughts will flow!

Fear’s Trap

July 9, 2008

I want

to get out

of this dirty old skin.

I’m sure

there’s a heart

nestled within.

Fear will

no longer

fence in the truth.

Fear

is a barrier

to thoughts

running smooth.

Sum it all up

with

one single word,

Fear

makes living

an empty

world.

I

will not fornicate

with fear anymore.

Fear

we are over

I’ll see you no more.

But

when fear

is gone,

inside there’s a  gap

fill it up

quickly

or fall back in fear’s trap.

No Heart Ever Breaks

July 7, 2008

No heart ever breaks

It just falls and falls and falls,

because you didn’t take care of it

because you became so complacent and selfish,

you expected someone else to take care of it for you.

And then, when your heart did fall,

you sit and cry that that other person is not there anymore to take care of your heart,

and all the while,

your heart is fallen and alone in the dark…

I am?

July 5, 2008

I am feeling like a lost,

Like a lonely lonely lost.

I am hoping for a truth,

An easy, clear, and shattering truth.

I am told I want a chair,

But when I look there’s nothing there.

My mind is just not me,

I know there’s more but I can’t see.

I want to open up the door,

Release all this and numb no more.

Let it flow till I run dry,

Is all I need to do to cry?

Wake up, Dad…

July 5, 2008

Trapped in your realm of pain and fear,

You reflect it back on all who are near.

The closer we come, the more you fret,

If you can’t look in, you’ll lose us all yet.

You are so loved, more than you know,

But you can’t ever let your pain go.

Lay down your stick, open your fences,

See what is real, look with your senses.

You are so young, yet you feel old,

You keep locked away, your heart of gold.

Time to wake up, it’s not the end,

There’s still time yet for your life to mend.

Be True

June 28, 2008

I am of the moment that burns in us all,

I am of the finite behind the great wall.

I see through this vest to the ocean below,

The infinite burning is where i will go.

Dissolve this great nothing, destroy this foul fear,

Let us out in the open release all our tears.

This love trapped in me, this passion, this soul,

To be one with that is my ultimate goal.

My heart burns brightly to escape its great jail,

Cut away this void anchor and let us set sail.

We’ll light up this world with our love and our heart,

This small spark of passion is only the start.
