I am telling you right now: if I ever see you, you NEVER EVER EVER EVER have to explain or justify yourself to me. I am not waiting for us to connect over concepts, images, beliefs or ideas. We are already beyond connected. ~ Benjamin Smythe on Facebook ------------------------------ Bob I don't know what this is, This Warmth in the Heart, This Bliss bubbling up from the wellspring of Being, This Radiance that heals and blesses, And intoxicates myself and others. Confused by “spirituality”, All the descriptions of Dharma, All the stories of who, what, when, where, why, and how, All the do's and don'ts, I sit in Myself, and breathe Bliss. “I can't meditate anymore with you,” I said, “For I don't know what any of this is or what it means.” And my friend replied, “But… it just feels good. Let's be simple-minded, And let that be reason enough to sit together in Stillness?” “Why do you trouble yourself, With the whys and wherefores? Let's be simple-minded, And forget ‘Shiva’, ‘Shakti’, And all that cosmic hoo-hah. If the Magic is real, It will Bless us, Even if we call it… Bob, And haven't a clue what it is, Or what it all means.” ~ Chuck Surface http://members.cox.net/chex.5/ ------------------------------ Chuck Surface: The Way of the Heart You have been Graced into the Secret Way, The Way of the Heart. “Understanding”, However diamond-like However impactful on the Experience of Being, Will never again satisfy you. The bee has done its job, And the pollen of knowledge Has been transmuted by Mystical Alchemy Into Anandam. Now… the bee dies, Understanding and knowledge, Turn from soft parchment to dust, And you Live wide-eyed, in Awe and Wonder, In And as The Great Mystery. You drink from Living Waters now, Flowing from the Wellspring of the Heart. All is changed. All is changed. Oh mind, oh mind, I leave you here. Only words Wet, Will find resonance, In one already drenched. The Emanation of Love, Will only touch your Heart, If you are already pregnant with Longing. How will you know? The baby will kick. You are now… Alone, And never again Alone. While you may Long to find Fellow Idiots, thus Imbued, Finding none, You remain Full and Complete. Now Your Heart Will look Lovingly for itself In all that is seen, smelled, tasted, heard, touched, All that is thought of, And all who are met. http://chucksurface.stillnessspeaks.com/ssblog/nondual_poetry_the_way_of_the_heart_chuck_surface/ ------------------------------ If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they will kill you. ~ Oscar Wilde ------------------------------ The Shared Experience of Absurdity, by Improv Everywhere Charlie Todd causes bizarre, hilarious, and unexpected public scenes: Seventy synchronized dancers in storefront windows, "ghostbusters" running through the New York Public Library, and the annual no-pants subway ride. At TEDxBloomington he shows how his group, Improv Everywhere, uses these scenes to bring people together. http://www.ted.com/talks/charlie_todd_the_shared_experience_of_absurdity.html?utm_source=newsletter_weekly_2011-11-11 ____________________________________________ FAIR USE NOTICE This site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
