Blog postCatch the Bird of Heaven,
Lock Him in a cage of gold.
Look again tomorrow
And He will be gone
Lock Him in religion,
Gold and frankincense and myrrh
Carry to His prison,
But He will be gone
All the things that man has made
Cannot hold Him anymore.
Still the Bird is flying as before.
Temple made of marble,
Beak and feather made of gold,
Bell and book and candle
Cannot hold Him anymore.
Still the Bird -
Blog postMy dear brothers and sisters,
May undeserved kindness be shown to you, and may you reach a peace of mind that surpasses all logic and reason. I wish these for you beyond all things, for I know you have been doing your absolute best in this world that seems to have gone mad with all manner of violence and hatefulness. You have not given up, despite your endless difficulties, and you hold your eyes to the things that remain beautiful even in the midst of these terrible times. You yourse -

I
have
come to this place in my life
I’m full
but
I’ve not satisfied
this
longing to have more of you.
And I
can
feel it, my heart is convinced
I’m
thirsty
my soul can’t be quenched—
you
already know this,
but still
come and do whatever you want to.
I’m standing knee-deep,
but I’m not where I’ve never been.
And I feel you coming,
and I hear your voic -

Blog postI THINK I AM figuring out that one of the root longings I feel ever-present deep inside is indeed for community…
I’ve always been—or thought of myself as—solitary, not needing others in order to be me or do what I do. This most likely came from the way I grew up, homeschooled and alone, even as the oldest of nine children. I would often be by myself in my bedroom reading or transcribing sections of what I’d read and loved into notebooks and journals.
I’ve never been very good -
Blog postI am not Christian.
I am one who will stand with the outcast and the judged
But I am not Christian.
I am one who has to defend the defenseless
But I am not Christian.
I am one who offers my hand to any color height size orientation caste
But I am not Christian.
I am one who speaks against inequality and discrimination
But I am not Christian.
I am one who will not speak slander or gossip
But I am not Christian.

Blog postLAST NIGHT, I WENT into a Christian book and supply store to try to find a gift for a couple family members who are getting baptized tomorrow, and the Spirit within me began to grieve.
Every item in there felt hollow, clichéd, fear-based, condescending, or arrogant, whether it was a trinket, a figurine, a wall hanging, or a book. Such a lack of inauthenticity or even the presence of God—which is Love, Grace, Gentleness, Peace—on every shelf brought tears to my eyes and made it -

Blog postThe wakened lover speaks directly to the beloved,
“You are the sky my spirit circles in,
the love inside love, the resurrection-place.
Let this window be your ear.
I have lost consciousness many times
with longing for your listening silence,
and your life-quickening smile.
You give attention to the smallest matters,
my suspicious doubts, and to the greatest.
You know my coins are counterfeit,
but you accept them anyway,

Blog postOn this Dia de los Muertos—Day of the Dead—it is the perfect time to pull out and begin re-reading the beautiful and inspiring Tibetan Book of the Dead, something I’ve been wanting to do again for a while now anyway.
The following is the opening chapter of my favorite translation by Gyurme Dorje, edited by Graham Coleman with Thupten Jinpa:
O, Alas! Alas! Fortunate Child of Buddha Nature,
Do not be oppressed by the forces of ignorance and delusion!

Blog post
When I was younger,
and first learning I could feel
the presence of the Earth,
I would get SO annoyed
and upset with concrete
blocking the way and covering up
so much of the ground
everywhere I went.
I became anti-cement
nearly to an extreme
anti-civilization frame of mind,
until I grew a bit more
and found
cement did not matter,
asphalt was no block to Mother
because it WAS the Mother, -
