From Las Vegas, Nevada As above, so below. The world is one big mirror. Look for the sameness in all things And things will get much clearer. In shapes you see the patterns. Lines and circles are repeated. Symbols of eternity Where nothing is deleted. In your very body You [...]
Sit down and do not move. Now quiet your brain. Release all negativity And all such thoughts which do remain. And when you’ve thus prepared, Place your focus on your heart. It’s there you will experience The fullness of which you’re part. So wrapped up you do become In your [...]

In a comment to poem #322, Bill asked, how do we reach enlightenment and achieve the things stated in poems 322 and 321. I realized I could ask the poets, but they would most likely ask me how many ways they need to answer that question. I don’t know that [...]
So many hurting souls… Such pain they carry in their heart. Seeking, always searching To feel not so much apart. They think the grand solution Will descend in one big burst. And so they go on seeking As if they suffer from great thirst. But oft there’s no one moment [...]
Awesome experience today. I was sitting outside to meditate with the rising sun behind me. It became so hot that it was burning my back (I had a protective shirt on). I had the fleeting thought to get up and move, when I was pushed back in my chair, my [...]

Since I’ve been in Sedona I’ve felt unsettlingly disconnected during my meditations. Before getting the poem today I was given the insight that it’s just like when a person takes golfing lessons and you try a bunch of new techniques at once – suddenly nothing works. I went back to [...]
Look into another’s eyes And what there do you see? A reflection of yourself, perhaps A glimpse into your own eternity. And if you look yet deeper You’d see there something more. An opening, of sorts – an entrance… A waiting, open door. Step in through that doorway. Do it [...]

I wasn't getting anything at first today, so I started to worry. Then I REALLY wasn't getting anything. Then I cleared my mind, and this is what I heard: This process of the poetry Works not when you do try. For only can we speak to you When your own [...]
Things may not always happen The way you think they should. You have your own perception Of what you think is good. But yours is one perspective. You see things from your eyes. But what would you see if you looked down From a viewpoint in the skies? You’d see [...]
Deep within there lies a treasure Like a vein of gold. In bygone days men mined for this Because of stories they’d been told. They spent all of their money Left their families and their home In search of this illusive gold. Quite far these seekers they did roam. But [...]
How few are they Who stop each day And take the time to pray. But if they knew They’d stop and say “Oh God, I come to you.” For it is in the silence That remembrance it returns Of whence you came and who you are And why the heart [...]
