1984-07-25 For Gerda

Wednesday, July 25th, 1984

 

                  For Gerda

 

      We walk by ...we touch ...we speak
        rivers form and merge, divide and entwine
        deep waters running
      like music with no beginning ...and no end.

 

      We are one thing ...and we are two, at once
        my sister, my lover, my mother, my friend
        we drink and the cup ...the cup never empties
      until we sleep.

 

      We talk and laugh ...and we cherish the ground
        like children who have found a magic place
        everything under our hands and eyes
      becoming God ...in us ...complete.

1984-10-23 Reading Elizabeth Haich

Tuesday, October 23rd, 1984

 

                  Reading Elizabeth Haich
                  ---------------

 

            Sometimes I imagine that by
            immersing myself in the lore
            of higher consciousness
            I will become enlightened.

 

            Like a child who puts on
            the clothes of the parent
            and parades about
            in a fantasy world.

 

            These things are only tools,
            choreographs of a dance,
            which cannot be experienced
            except by the dancer.

 

            Only paper and words to me
            unless I find the way
            to breath life into them
            in my dance of life.

1985-01-27

Sunday, January 27th, 1985 
               Every story or fable about the Masters
                 misleads us, subtly.
               We see how they are
                 and translate it to see ourselves, there.
               And, thus, when we imagine ourselves as they are,
                 we always see ourselves
                   through the eyes of others.
               It's again the difference between
                 being and trying to be.
               We must find the secret within us.
                 Utterly disconnected from
                   all imaginings, posings and motives.
               We must become the light of unity
                 unto ourselves,
                    born only of ourselves.
                                 gallagher
