Loving Intoxication


 

Loving Intoxication

I Daydreamed
that The Veil
drawn between
This World and
The One
Our Souls call
Home,

Parted,

Enough for
a Hand
to Beckon
My Imagination
to Go
Hand-In-Hand
Through The Veil,

Into a
Cosmic Theater
where Thousands of
Wide-Eyed
Souls

Awaited the Arrival of
an Ascended Master

Whose Love
for Us
Who Waited

Compelled Him
to Teach Us
Something

More Precious than
can be Measured,
except by The Same
Adoration
That Holds Us
in Eternal
Embrace.

The Murmuring of
Souls
grew Silent as

The Master Appeared.

He Grinned and
Bowed to Us,
then Spoke
for Hours of

The Holiness of
Humor,
The Loving Intoxication of
Laughter.

His Name was
Robin Williams.

Gangsters


 

Gangsters

A Gang of
Lab-Coated
Gurus,
the Sort that
Arm Themselves with
Electron Microscopes and
Build Raceways for
Particles of Light,

Astonished Themselves
Awake
to the Reality that
If They
Poked a Particle
“Here,”
Another Particle
“There,”
at an Infinite Distance,
Felt the Poke
and Giggled.

And
“Time” and “Space”
Disappeared
Into
Oneness.

Another Gang of
Starry-Eyed Contemplatives
Deduced that
there Is No Force that
Binds Oneness that
Compares with
Love.

How Better to
Imagine
Divinity
than That?

What could Possibly
Be
More True than
This:

It’s All Divine.

Blockbuster


 

Blockbuster

Hear me out,
This is a
Blockbuster:

Do You have
Control Issues,
attempting to
Micro-Manage,
using Your
muscular Brain,
every Action, or
too often,
Inaction,

in Order to
Preserve and Protect
Your Precious Self?

Warning:
You may End up
Building Walls
that mutate into
Immovable Objects
that will Trick You into
Believing You’re a
Lazy Loser,
that protect You
by Training You to
Resist Whatever Requires
Real Effort.

Here’s the Blockbuster:

Send Your Brain
some Flowers and
a Thank-You Note,
then Bow to
Your Intuition,
Your True Guide.

Bump Fists and Lock Arms,
Walk Together into
That Scary Thing
You’ve Micro-Managed into
Safe Resistance and Denial,
wrapped up as
Laziness.

Stride In with
Throbbing Curiosity
about What Might Happen –
It’s an Adventure! –
Knowing
You can Trust
Your Guide.

Don’t be Surprised by
Joy,
Unless You Enjoy
Surprises.

It’s Fun to
Bust Blocks.

Kids Will Be Kids


 

Kids Will Be Kids

A Wise One –
Okay, Jesus –
Said that if
We want to Enter
What He called
Heaven,
(Who Doesn’t?)

It’s Necessary to
Become a Kid
Again.

I used to Think
that’s because
Kids are All
Innocent and
Untarnished by
Sin, but
I don’t Think It’s That.

I Think It’s Because
Kids Believe in
Magic
and Have
Imaginary Friends
and Believe
Play
is an Inalienable Right
and Imagine
They Can
Be Anything
They Want To Be.

You probably don’t
want to Know
What Jesus said
Should Happen to
Grownups Who Try to
Convince Them
Otherwise.
