the sound of no hands clapping
'the art of self sufficiency'

chapter two
celebrating

stand steadfast
you are not going to be anything else
other than you

amazingly the dna refuses to listen to our mind
amazingly you will wake up ‘you’ every day

something bigger or more in charge
than the ego is running the vehicle

notice the roads you have taken
look at the allies you have met
look at the things you have seen not work
without even having to participate

stand steadfast
you are you for a purpose
we need you as much as you need us

enjoy the reality of it all
it all works

only the ego
dwells in a broken home

love is a matriarchal process
admiration is a patriarchal process

love gives a foundation for softness
admiration guides like a light
toward strength and courage

having both requires being a self responsible lover

with the courage to execute your highest ideals

to give -to share -to care
all point to softness

detachment - adventure - liberation
require strength and courage
having both

choice
is no longer a process

discernment
is an aspect of knowing
which is present
while working toward
a functional outcome

entertain the delights of the soul

attend to these delights with adornment and excitement

enter the mystery with a taste for delight
and expose your nature

removal of doubt and insecurity gives space for
acceptance
trust
attention to the divine

removal of doubt exposes our trust
trust you made it this far
on wings and prayers

spread your wings and share your prayers
indulge the divine

explore the unknown
not in fear
in delight

leading isn’t as expressive
as just dancing
leading is your choice
not the way

getting what we want is child’s play
compared to realizing our destiny

exhibiting this choice
we work or we celebrate

working for what we want
forces everyone else to participate

our destiny reflects
the universal unfolding
manifesting every thing needed
to get us here

the difference is
wanting invests in others re-actions
destiny invests in the divine play

at the outcome we have
delusion or celebration

delusion is fleeting as the moment it was wanted

celebration leaves us in a divine ever present state
reflecting our satisfaction and delight

define the state you are in
rather than making it a place

the state of nature calls us to explore

what is a regret? –a rainy day?

exploring the options
we see the negative fall away
then the positive presents itself

exploring nature’s gifts
our nature will expose us

exposing our selves we move into another state
a state of exploration and celebration

repeating moments past creates
a fragmented present
our cells find hard to enjoy

joy is in the present
not in suspended animation of the past

super natural
the state of exploration enjoys us

getting what is needed is happening!

getting what we want isn’t!

look into what is needed and find the source
finding the source every thing falls into place

what is here? what is not?

detach from the want and everything left
is available to work on your self
with your allies

going deeper into the source
we encounter the ever present – the divine

having encountered the divine – do you have a way to entertain the ever-present?

creatively
we work with creation
possessively
we fear our ability to care for ourselves and others

snap out of wanting
merge into the divine
where there is no thing
