In my heart's golden age
There is only one language;
And all hearts know it.
It's sung through the eyes
And the ears can see it.
In the golden eye of my heart
There is only one family:
Oh how lovely you are,
My dark skinned sister
From across the globe!
And love is the only worshipped
Through love for love's own sake.
Heretics melt before they reach
True love's devouring fire.
And you, my friend, are present
Whichever way we turn;
Without, within, beyond until –
There is no I nor thou

we close our eyes to see
we float in time
space has no meaning
our sight expands
as our minds meld
into the emptiness
our consciousness
rests on the shoulders
of generations past
echoes of that to come
are but shadows to things
yet to be experienced
artifacts of duality gone
pure land abounds
stillness of orders
follow the wholeness
imprints lasting eternally

freedom is waking up
abandoning
all feelings
of 'mine' and 'me',
illusions of separate
identity.
thus
forsaking hope and fear,
leaving behind
the need to be.
when there is
nothing but
this selfless existence –
who is there
to fear
or to be free?

Beauty, Beauty all around
In the air, on the ground
Beauty’s pleasure, Beauty’s joy
Inspiration for girl and boy
Teach your eyes to look around
See the beauty ~ it abounds
Love, Love all around
In our hearts, in each sound,
May we find how deep love is,
Deeper than romance, deeper than a kiss,
Open your heart, may you realize,
Love is constant ~ no surprise.
Love pervades Creations being
Love is more than all you’re seeing
Love is Creation’s finest glue,
Love is what’s surrounding you,
Call it God, Goddess or Buddha
It’s also Jesus, Inannah, Allah
Love and Beauty, know they’re there,
Waiting, inspiring everywhere
Watch this life ~ know Love’s there
Even when you feel despair
Love is flowing all around
Love is what holds you ~ to love you are bound.

Fear is the body's natural
reaction to conceived bodily harm
Let it be, watch it
fearlessly without identifying,
and thus without allowing it
to control your actions
or thoughts.
Observe fears rise and subside.
Do not try to control
'your' thoughts either
This will only enhance
the feeling of identification
with the illusory particular
self identity "ego".
Let them pass,
asking continuously
"whose fear/thought it is?"
and, accepting no answer,
allow breathing to go on,
deeply and effortlessly...
Someone said: pain is inevitable.
Suffering is optional.
who/what suffers?
In love, wishing you
perfect recovery
and no more suffering
or pain.

departed like dreams
left alone
i called upon
one friend
to become
my entire dream
this is the one
who soothes my heart
with endless
tenderness and love
the one who
one hour bestows
inner peace
and the next
the nectar of life
this dream too
as it arrives
i come alive and
as it departs
i'm helpless again
"RUMI, Fountain of Fire", ghazal number 1596,
translated June 1991 by Nader Khalili,
Burning Gate Press, Los Angeles, 1994.

What I see, seems to be a problem,
but this is not seeing.
When seeing is replaced with Vision
then I know the Peace of God
that passes all understanding.
The eyes cannot see what the heart
already knows. And Vision is
simple and clear.
Seeing is complicated and stained
with the thoughts of past and future;
tainted with judgement and perception.
Vision is spoken in wisdom and never
does harm to each other.
For love is the vehicle of sight and Vision
is the heart of our God.
