The Compassionate Mind<\/h2>\n

To think that the compassionate mind, the fully compassionate mind can effect healing to all sentient beings in ceaseless space is an idea beyond intellect.<\/p>\n

To realise that by practising the fully compassionate nature of mind, that natural nature of mind we come into this world with (yet it is hidden within the dualising conceptual mind), to realise that such unsurpassable compassionate practise benefits uncountable beings, is astonishing.<\/p>\n

To attain the fully compassionate nature of mind, is something every being has the potential to do.<\/p>\n

To see, meet or converse with such a \u2018realised\u2019 one moving through this planet is a privilege beyond explanation.<\/p>\n

To see meet, hear or converse with such a one, is the technical physical description of the term ‘blessing’. One could not be more fortunate than this, since immediately the seed awakens, the blessings water the seed and primordial mind stirs.\u00a0 In a vital sign, the subtle wind of memory brushes against the stirring seed and one’s journey toward the heart of the matter.\u00a0 The pith inner imprint begins to arise, and one is on the trail, one has entered ‘The Way’. . . even though one may not know. . . one is warming to the outrageous, stupendous, impossibly fantastic notion of our becoming a being of a different ethereal fabric without description via one’s wisdom and compassion marrying one’s own awareness.<\/p>\n

IF ONLY<\/h2>\n

If my tears, if only that<\/em><\/p>\n

Could bathe all the harm done<\/em><\/p>\n

Of all those who have, are or will suffer<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If only my voice, if only that<\/em><\/p>\n

Could caress away all the hurt done<\/em><\/p>\n

Of all those who have, are or will suffer<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If only my jokes, if only that<\/em><\/p>\n

Could forgive all the wounds inflicted<\/em><\/p>\n

Of all of those who have, are or will suffer<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If only my thoughts, if only that<\/em><\/p>\n

Could soothe the tattered minds<\/em><\/p>\n

Of all of us who have, are or will suffer<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If only my every action, if all of that<\/em><\/p>\n

Could enlighten all living beings<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then I could suffer my suffering with pure clarity<\/em><\/p>\n

NOW<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There is no choice<\/em><\/p>\n

One must<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Dance and fall: laugh and cry<\/em><\/p>\n

Love, be loved and left: joy and tears<\/em><\/p>\n

Frolic and stumble: swan and fly<\/em><\/p>\n

Link and be alone<\/em><\/p>\n

Not yesterday nor tomorrow<\/em><\/p>\n

All of the above and below<\/em><\/p>\n

One day rich, another not<\/em><\/p>\n

Cry and hold<\/em><\/p>\n

Bejewel and bedeck<\/em><\/p>\n

One must<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Tiptoe and thump: spin and sprawl<\/em><\/p>\n

Bedazzle<\/em><\/p>\n

Fall down: get up<\/em><\/p>\n

Yell and shout<\/em><\/p>\n

Hold on: let go<\/em><\/p>\n

Slinky and saucy<\/em><\/p>\n

Lippy and laugh<\/em><\/p>\n

Blunder and brilliant<\/em><\/p>\n

Not before or after<\/em><\/p>\n

One must <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

NOW!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
