Having only woke just a few short minutes ago, from a night of dreamy sleep, I felt no need to meditate this morning when I read your poem. I was out in the stars, farther then my dreams dared to take me, one with you and God and all else. What a salute to our existence. Bravo!

Darina- As always your poems are so tasty and delicious complimented by a vision that just squeezes life all over the page. Thank you so much for extending this bliss first thing in the morning.

It will be a beautiful day.

Love,
Lisa

It is so refreshing to me to read this. So much of my effort is directed to this realization but I suffer from what I call spirtual ADD and mental constructs just don't stick. I "know ", but knowing and mentally conceptualizing and grounding this knowing into daily living is like having parts of me speaking two different languages that are not understood. This poem is grounding to me, and I plan on reading it over, and over, and over, and oh yeah, I just said that, didn't I?

Wonderful! You guys keep this up and I won't need my meditation later. I am already in that floaty, feel good, blissed out state! I was away from this pod for a couple of days, getting ready to homeschool on Tuesday. Now, I am back... plugged in and feeling your lovely juices flowing! Thanks for being you! Nicola

Sweet sounds of innocence resonate in and through my being. I dream. I imagine infinite immensity. I create like light, like stars burning within deep space, penetrating the darkness, the nothingness. I transcend myself and believe for you. I give up myself and surrender in you. I reveal the universe blazing from within us, burning as a sun in a sea of cosmic phosphorescence. I shine the warmth of you, the blanket of home. I breathe existence, extending out, searching, sharing myself, yourself, itself, the whole. I express the Fullness of everything conceivably and inconceivably known. I sacrifice myself in order to worship you, be you, participate in being you. I let go and fall and fly and soar into the all, the one. I burn out and fade away and complete myself in absolute freedom, in the ultimate creation. This is the galactic fire ablaze, illuminating your potential, the path I must now pursue. I leave my cage and enter your confines, and I remove your shackles, bear your burden, release your shame. It is here that I am God. I dream divine as the song of hope and faith and trust twinkle in the dark night. I no longer fear being free for I know myself. I know you. I find my home in you. I gather it all and bring it together in a boundless hug. I love. –––––I Am You (2004)
