Like a secret,
or a smile,
this, being awake.
Like walking through a different hallway.
It is full of people, but they see something else.
Somewhere else,
At another time.
I am here,
but not for your mind
or thoughts.
If you stop,
I mean really stop,
so that you get a kind of whiplash,
as the past and the future whirl away,
you just might get a glimpse of me,
actually standing in the same hallway,
smiling,
and kissing God.

Interaction
rarely goes beyond noise.
When you look at me,
you only see a reflection of you,
at least at first,
till you realize you can’t see me at all.
Stillness doesn’t belong.
Silence will only mean surrender.
Truth,
only means vulnerability
when you see it from here.
I am decreasing,
becoming less,
till you can’t see me at all.
And,
it is quite ok.
I don’t need to be seen.
I don’t need to be heard.
I don’t need at all.
Love,
is ok,
just sitting,
and waiting
quietly.

When this life hurts,
I mean when it really, really hurts,
know that you are where you are,
by His hand.
By His love,
His amazing love,
and by His grace,
His amazing grace,
He has allowed you to be ,
right in the very center
of that oh so painful situation.
His gorgeous knowing eyes,
smile lovingly at you
through each painful moment.
You see,
you’re on a path.
That path is taking you home.
Every time you feel pain,
it is just you,
resisting the path.
It is just you,
resisting His love,
His grace.
We are not wrestling with flesh and blood,
in these tough situations.
Don’t blame man.
Blame God,
or rather,
blame yourself
or…………..
don’t blame at all.
Just relax.
Trust!
Go with the flow.
It will be ok.
He loves you,
so stop resisting.
Learn the lesson
of surrender
and acceptance,
and move on.
Its ok.
You are loved.
Just trust.
Don’t blame.
Just let go, and enjoy the ride.
The sooner you let go
and stop trying to control everything,
the sooner it will all be over.
You are the one
causing your pain.
So…………
STOP!!!!!!!!!
TRUST IS THE TREASURE!!!!!
Find it.

JUST WHAT ARE YOU REALLY LOOKING FOR?
GOD?
SO MANY BOOKS,
SO MANY WEBSITES,
SO MANY EMPTY OPINIONS,
LIKE RABBIT TRAILS THROUGH AN EMPTY DESERT.
TIME,
IS TOSSED AWAY,
AS YOU LOOK EVERYWHERE,
THAT IS EASY.
ARE YOU READY?
READY TO FIND GOD?
READY TO MEET HIM???????
I CAN TELL YOU HOW.
STOP!
STOP LOOKING!
STOP SEEKING!
STOP PACKING AROUND YOUR GUILT,
AND EXCUSES.
YOU HAVE BEEN SHIRKING RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU HAVE BEEN SKIRTING TRUTH,
AVOIDING YOUR OWN ACCOUNTABILITY.
YOU KNOW THAT ALL THAT
RUNNING AROUND,
SEEKING AROUND
JUST DOESN’T GET IT DONE.
CHASING THE NEXT NEW TEACHING,
OR THAT ANCIENT TEACHING,
JUST LEAVES YOU DANGLING
RIGHT WHERE YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.
SO,
MY LITTLE ONE,
PLEASE, PLEASE,
JUST STOP.
JUST STOP LOOKING…………….
If you really want to find God,
stop looking for Him.
and start looking for yourself.
you know,
your self.
that little one,
hidden
behind so many walls.
Hidden
behind so many defenses.
That vulnerable little angel.
That precious beauty.
That one you barely remember.
You, yes, you.
So protected that you can’t
remember who you are………….
Just stop.
Take the time.
Do the work.
When you break through all YOUR walls,
and knock down all your defenses,
you will really find
that happy little you,
and God.
You see,
He is in there too,
with you,
just waiting for you to lay down the fear,
and open the door.
The love you missed.
The love you’ve always looked for is only within.
So just give up the search.
You already are where you need to be.
Look within.
Find you.
The kingdom of God
is within.
Love you………
J
Where
are the children of God?
Who
are they?
I love you.
Each of you.
Each,
so beautiful
and perfect
in my eyes.
My love
is beyond
your understanding.
My grace,
my beautiful grace,
is greater than your perception of guilt
will let you accept.
My forgiveness,
is only a mask,
over my love,
to help you understand.
You know not,
what you do.
You know not,
who you are.
And you do not, yet,
know me.
Not as you should,
or will.
I love you so very much,
my beautiful,
beautiful babies.

JUST

I’m lost,
Or so I think.
But I’m not looking to get saved.
At least not the way you mean.
There would have to be substance,
And you don’t seem to offer that.
Lost in this world.
I’m tired of words,
And not just yours.
Jesus,
My dear Jesus,
I need help.
Sometimes I can’t see beyond the walls of the Church.
Like prison walls,
I’m told what to think,
And what not to think.
Church, prison,
Prison, Church.
I’m looking for that truth,
That makes me free.
It isn’t in the building.
I spent twenty years looking.
It isn’t allowed in.
It’s somewhere outside the walls,
With Jesus.
And now I’m out here.
Tired of words.
Tired of all the noise.
Just so desperately seeking truth.
Not your version…..
The real truth.
The one I find
only in
silence……….
J
WORLDLY MIND,
THIS MIND OF THOUGHT,
BASED ON JUST WHAT?????
YOU SEE,
YOU AND ME
WE BOUGHT A THOUGHT
BEING SOLD BY THE BRASH AND BOLD
OUR SOULS TO HOLD
THOUGHTS,
SO VERY COLD…….
ANOTHER MIND,
SO DEEP I FIND
ON THAT SOFT VELVET SHELF
OF SILENCE.
FORGET GUNS
AND GOVERNMENTS
AND YOUR SWEET VERSION OF JUSTICE…..
IT’S OK
LET IT ALL FLOAT AWAY
FIND THE TRUTH
OF THE ETERNAL SILENT MIND
AND STAY
QUIETER
QUIETER
SO VERY STILL
BE
SO VERY STILL
TRUTH AND POWER,
HIDDEN IN SO GENTLE
A SETTING.
J
JUST LIKE BAD MAGNETS,
THIS WORLD OF THINKING AND REASON
AND
THE ETERNAL SILENCE WITHIN.
NO RESOLVE
ONE IS REAL
JUST ONE IS TRUTH
SILENCE
JUST HANGING OVER EVERYTHING
WITH A SECRET SMILE

A rose
always shares
beauty
with all.
Then the blossom
withers,
fades,
and loses its color.
But it is
the same
flower.
An old
bent over woman
with a strange
scent.
Where has the desire
to kiss her gone?
Fifty years ago
her beauty
was world-renowned.
Too pretty
for common eyes.
The best girls
for the
best guys.
So pretty
she was.
Now just look.
No,
really look.
Look in her eyes.
It is her,
still her.
Still so very
beautiful.
The rose,
is still
the rose.
See the little boy
playing.
His innocence
is perfect.
He smiles
He laughs
He plays
He is vulnerable
and he doesn’t
even know it.
He is beautiful
and free.
A joy,
a true joy
to only
observe him.
But…..
that was sixty
years ago.
Now he sits
in a smokey
card room.
He weighs
three hundred pounds.
He takes the money
of those less savvy
than himself.
Horrible,
unpleasant,
a pig.
But look in his eyes
No,
really look………..

Love is such
a strange power.
It stands alone.
Like the snow
on the mountain top
sends water to the ocean,
I will continue
to love.
I don’t need
anything back.
Love is like that.
Misunderstood.
Labels and blame
are only
the panic
of a perceived
reality.
They can never
stop or control
love.
Love from me is like rain.
It is coming to you
no matter what.
Labels and blame.
Hate is only
the panic
of being
out of control.
Out of control.
Cool!
Know this.
But leave the panic behind.
You are ok.
Surrender.
You don’t
need the death
of being right.
Know
that you
are helpless.
Rest
No need
to panic.
I love you.
I always will.
No matter what.
J
You don’t have to any more,
I’ve taken care of everything.
So,
really,
don’t be afraid.
It’s only me,
and I love you.
I am the One you whisper to.
When you meditate,
I am your focus,
your center.
When you pray,
I am the One who hears.
And I always hear,
everything.
Everything!
And I still love you.
No matter what,
there is NOTHING to fear.
I have an eye on everything.
It is just not what you think.
You are just not what you think
Nothing can hurt you,
bulletproof.
Remember that word,
bulletproof.
So TRUST,
just trust.
Pray!
Get silent.
I am your center,
your silence.
You CAN trust Me,
I love you.
Do you know which questions to ask?
Knowing which questions to ask,
is the key to all the answers,
to all the questions.
So,
ask these questions……..
Who am I?
Or,
What am I?
They are the same question.
Next,
What do I want?
Not,
what does my worldly image want,
but the I within.
The last question in this list,
is to ask in the midst of every interaction,
What do you want?
Just get each person to the point.
What do you want??????
Answers to all your questions exist.
They can be found in one place.
All answers,
to all your questions.
One place.
Only,
live in the midst of these few questions.
Just narrow down your complex image
of yourself,
to these few questions.
Just take them within.
And if someone comes along to interupt your introspection,
just ask,
What do you want?????
All of life is just this simple.
So my love…….
Who are you?
What do you want?????
J

ETERNAL MIND

IT IS REAL,

SILENT
BREEZE
