Search of God, Search of Life

All this searching

Outside of Me

Travelling all over the world

Looking for Wholeness

Looking for God

Searching for Love

Broken heart

Broken hope

Failure after failure

Existence leading me out of this mess

Showing that my way is not the Real way.

Gently breaking all my Hopes

The God I worshipped was a replacement

For accepting Life as it Is.

Life - The God that isn't divided, but One with All.

Allowing Existence to be the Guide

Searching, searching, searching

Giving up the search

Finding, finding, finding

Deep Stillness and Contentment was Always Here

Here, Inside

Poem - Am I just missing Life by my fear of missing Life

So really what do I fear

What is it that I don't dare.

What is holding me back?

Am I afraid of a tear

Of going to Near

Of Closeness to what is Dear

Am I trying to persevere

Am I just missing Life

by my fear of missing Life

I have been here before.

I recognize the terrain.

Mountain of insecurity

Valley of attachments

Lake of fear

Accepting Life as it Is

Guided back to the Narrow Path of Contentment and Stillness

Existence is gently whispering in my ears:

Just embrace Life, again, and again.

And the more you embrace Life

The more Life will open Your heart.

Poem - A boat anchored to a safe harbour

What am I desiring.

What am I wanting

To be deeply embraced

To feel I am safe

To feel I am loved

To feel I am home

To be just like A boat anchored to a safe harbour

Embraced and loved by The Deep Blue Ocean

Caressed and cared for by the Soft breeze

Loved and shone upon by the Warming Sun

Being anchored to the firm ground of Existence.

Safely anchored in midst of the raging storm

Resting in midst of waves of stillness and tranquillity.

To be Open and Sensitive

To receive it all

Fully accepting without judging

Poem - Vulnerable Heart

Oh, this vulnerable heart

Longing for intimacy

Seeking comfort

Comfort from the pain

Diving deep within

Touching the innermost chambers

Heart pulsating

Aliveness circulating in the veins

Poem - Tears

Poem - Tears

As tears flow down my cheeks

As days turn into weeks

The ice slowly melts away

Rays of sun shines through the dark clouds

Frozen Heart slowly softens up.

Awakens from her winter slumber

Existence gently melts the many layers of ice

Spring of the Heart is Here

Shining through the dust

Under the treetops

Under the stars

A bird is singing her song

The sun is shining through the window

Shining through the dust

Immersing the Love from Existence

Her rays are shining

Shining through the Window of the Heart

Radiating through the Dust of dullness

Touching the Core

Abiding in her Gentle Arms

Limitless sky

A vast black sky of stars

An ocean full of opportunities

Shining up the skies

Speaking of the vastness

Guiding us into stillness

To listen to the Inner Voice

Go deep within

The vastness of the sky

Is the vastness of the Heart

The Stillness of the Deep Ocean of stars

Is the Stillness of Your True Self

Gently inviting you to go deeper

Poem, Dance along in this perfectly choreographed dance.

Put on the dance shoes.
Dance it out.
Bug with existence.
Holding hands.
Foots following each other.

Touching
Embracing
Making a circle
Under the arms of Existence.
All so warm
All so accepting
All so loving

Trust that existence will guide your steps.
She will take care of your needs.
Dress you
Feed you
Just take part
Dance along
In this perfectly choreographed dance.

Poem, Be real. Play your unique part with passion and with all your heart.

Stillness
Simplicity
Daring to be silent
To keep quiet
To not utter unnecessary words
Not to play a game
For popularity or fame

To be real.
To be who you are
Not someone else in order to win acceptance.

Feel into the moment
And act from the moment.
Not out of pressure
Not out of fear
Not in order to play out some role
Wearing a theatre mask

Play along
Flow along with the music
Play your unique part
With passion
With all your heart
Your very unique expression
It is your part
No one else can play it for you.
