Nonduality Highlights: Issue #3302, Saturday, September 27, 2008, Editor: Mark
There is in the body a current of energy, affection and
intelligence, which guides, maintains and energizes the body.
Discover that current and stay with it.

Autumn at Kincraig
Yellow birch leaves fall like flakes
on rooted rutted forest tracks
rain splatters
on plastic hoods among the woods.
Tawny oaks and bronzy bracken
beech leaves thickly dark and molten
as we walk
in single rank along the bank.
The living river far below
a dark brownish steady flow
then shower of sun
gently catches golden larches.
Tessa Ransford, from Not Just Moonshine: New and Selected
Poems
The Freshness
When it's cold and raining,
you are more beautiful.
And the snow brings me
even closer to your lips.
The inner secret, that which was never born,
you are that freshness, and I am with you now.
I can't explain the goings,
or the comings. You enter suddenly,
and I am nowhere again.
Inside the majesty.
- Rumi, version by Coleman Barks
Oceans of Bliss
Lord God
of my Being
this endless becoming...
like rain
falling
into
my Heart...

Ceann Tràigh Breige
tender flesh to sit
foolish & hoping
to be
come mountain
the sun bides in
the loch surfacing
cormorants can't
look in its void eye
- Gerry Loose
TO MY OLD BROWN EARTH
To my old brown earth
And to my old blue sky
I'll now give these last few molecules of "I."
And you who sing,
And you who stand nearby,
I do charge you not to cry.
Guard well our human chain,
Watch well you keep it strong,
As long as sun will shine.
And this our home,
Keep pure and sweet and green,
For now I'm yours
And you are also mine.
