So much to give away...
Tuesday, July 20, 2010
One can never truly receive until all has been given away
For only then can the centre vanish
And disappear into that from which it was born
If you can drop something completely
Never touching it again
The spirit will replace the space
And guide you safely home
I can see you on the dance floor right now
Wearing your favourite outfit and zoot shoes too
I can see you absorbed in the love that you are
And I swoon to the tune from afar
It matters not to me how anyone else describes it
For I am lost in the romantic pleasure of you now
There’s no reason to deny it nor to feel hesitant to say
How deeply I am in love with you
And how much I want to give away
I know that you will listen and absorb the sacred meaning
Lying deep beyond the word
Where the flow of the Divine is the only motion alive
As we join in the stream that is love
There can be no guardian at the gate to the heart
For its wisdom will always protect us
To fade into her embrace without time
Is the answer sung within her grace
And that’s where I want to meet you
Cheek to cheek face to face
When the rhythm of you comes my way
I have to glide across the floor
Being held lightly in your arms as on we twirl
Creating an extraordinary display
The most challenging thing to do
Is to give up the right of choice
But perhaps there’s a dimension somewhere in between
Where you’ll hear the Beloved’s voice
And know the rest is up to you
This is the path upon which I’ll meet you once again
For you are the sweet nectar from the garden
That is the essence of all things
And I am here devoted to that passion
To come naked before you now
And pledge myself in all ways I can
To be the answer to your sacred vow
And to be the knight in shining armour
Whose quest continues to be
Protecting you from all dragons and disbelievers
Until all lovers are set free
In the wings patiently awaiting your call...

a Lifetime" which Sachi and I have come to refer to this journey. But it
never really ends, just morphs along into something marvellous as it has
been doing all this time. I wish to thank you once again for allowing me
the privilege to carry you along with me throughout the trek from here to
there and back to here again and a special appreciation for those who shared
their feelings along the way. Over the next few days I will post some
photos of our time in Thailand up around Chiang Mai and of course Bali and
Hong Kong. You can check at my Flickr site
http://www.flickr.com/photos/elsagrado/ to catch the images. The blessing
continues and I leave you now with these few verses of gratitude the theme
that best describes my state of being.
The stars and all their constellations cannot be changed by you
The wind as it comes rushing out of the void
Is untouched by your confusion too
Return to the course of freedom
In everything you feel and do
And the grace that steers the heavenly firmaments and all that matters
Will be the gift that guides you home.
Leave not a single thing loosely undone within your realm
Instead embrace the sacred nature of each and every moment
As a glorious expression of the Divine
And through this reverence may you come
Face to face with who you truly are
This is the sacred stillness from which all things come and go
This is the source of love which is both the mother and the father
The place of no place
The point of no point
The dimension of all knowing
The wellspring of your heart.
You may love me as deeply as I love you
But the longing must end
The union we have created is the solution to it all
And will provide the sustenance for the endless journey
That ushers in the light
Let us stay peacefully within each others arms
Let us stay friends and lovers protecting each from all harms
And let us disappear together within this sacred kiss
That I now gently place upon your tender cheek.
Speeding beyond the jet stream with you as my guide...

There’s no singular perfect moment to receive the benediction
Other than the sweet delicacy that greets you now
You can’t discover it on the road or in the classroom by design
For it beckons to you from everywhere without reference to time.
There is only one direction that can take you there
And its invitation is awaiting you with every breath
Don’t waste your time in retrospection or projection
For the truth is naked without tense just like the song inside your heart.
I’ve stopped feeling silly about the way I care for you
What’s wrong with a love that knows no bounds
And when you awake to the warmth of the rising sun in the morning
I’ll be the one standing there smiling with open arms.
What happens when all that which once held meaning
Has become invisible or blurry at best
What is the answer when the question no longer arises
And you surrender to me at my bequest?
Is it possible to live a life without a speck of fear
Can you dive so deep within your heart
That the truth is all you hear
And can you feel the love that’s streaming from me now
As I share these words with you
And will you lie peacefully within my arms tonight
Knowing that everything is right and is your due?
Arms outstretched...

The magic’s always in the being never in the doing
But sometimes the doing can bring you to the being
With a bang
And then all the angels and the holy spirits
Assemble at the gate
And welcome you in your transcendence
Before it’s too late.
Give your self a shake if you dare to make the leap
From off the edge of this blessed cliff
My love and protection there to keep
You safe from all things outward
To be there for you when you fall
But you must promise to do the inner work
Whenever the Divine sends out the call.
There’s no question that we’ve been lovers true
Sometime long before all records had been kept
And now we find ourselves in this fond embrace
Sharing sweet tears that both have wept
For not only our own deliverance
But for all lovers near and far
For all the ones who await our compassion
That’s brighter than any star.
So now I lay this kiss upon your cheek
And place your hand upon my chest
So you can feel the surge within
That’s more powerful than all the rest
More comforting than anything I’ve known
Since my connection to the divine mother’s breast.
We’re together now my delicate sprite, we’re together now...
Let’s take wing and ride the sacred current of life...
Hasta pronto
