God Pod or Life, the Universe and Everything

A creative, open and playful discussion group on God, spirituality, art, politics… in other words, on life, the universe and everything. Yes, the answer is 42 but what is the question? All are welcome, and invited to engage in  dialogue with love, mindfulness, and respect.

Herbie's Beloved's Teahouse was a place of beautiful poems, pictures, sayings... maybe we can re-create part of it in miniature here by sharing what inspires and illumines us, including spiritual practices...

a daily offering

siafu said Jul 8, 2:24 PM:
 

I love the anticipation
prior to sitting.. 
a hard fought day,
twists and turns,
mountains and valleys,
darkness and light,
moments of laughter;
despair, anger
resolution..
incomprehension.
awakening and delusion..

all these and more,
so much more,
in the crowded,
yet inherently empty
passage of our daily round..

to offer all of these – everything - up..
offer it all
totally - unreservedly – up..
(for dissolution, disappearing into the
ether of time-gone-by) 
this is the moment
of utter redemption,
letting go of all conception,
opening to the unashamed nothingness
that is our fundamental
state of being..

this is indeed where I feel truly
at peace within my journey,
mishaps, triumphs
and open ended
faith..   


with bows

thank you,
