shaman's thoughts

When something fits it fits every where I go, sharing it just makes it that much more real! Noosh Jaan!  Old Sweet Beggar This Path to God Made me such an old sweet beggar. I was starving until one night My love tricked God Himself To fall into my bowl. Now Hafez is infinitely rich, But all I ever want to do ls keep emptying out My emerald,filled Pockets Upon This tear,stained world. ***************************************************************** Out of the Mouths of a Thousand Birds Listen more carefully to what is around you Right now. In my world There are the bells from the clanks Of the morning milk drums, And a wagon wheel outside my window Just hit a bump Which turned into an ecstatic chorus Of the Beloved's Name. There is the Prayer Call Rising up like the sun Out of the mouths of a thousand birds. There is an astonishing vastness Of movement and Life Emanating sound and light From my folded ha

: Where I may fail, LOVE, will succeed most assuredly!  When its all said and done its "aalll up to me" because if I fall short, then I've fallen short! Deep inside I know when that is and what it looks like, (when I fall short) if I am totally honest with myself. Why do we do the things we do? And why do we not do the things that we do not do? Somethings we know we need to do and don't do! This not doing business, why is that?  And all that I think I Do, do, ends up being together with what I don't do, the story of my life! So it begs to ask the question, WHY? Why do we do the things we do, and not do the things we don't do? If we know that thoughts become things(proven physics now, OK?), right? Anything I end up doing or not doing starts with a thought, then I sound the thought out, I am now seeding the field of possibilities and without fail, every action starts out with a thought. Whether I am aware of the thoughts or I am reacting to an

ُُ Salaam(peace) Most of us were raised thinking that prayer/meditation was for God's sake. That somehow we were obligated to do so or else we'd incur the wrath of this God or at the least get him angry and not get our goodies when we die. This way of thinking has caused more harm and done more damage to our spiritual growth and freedom from pain and anxiety than all the Hitler's of the world put together. It is a joy to see that we are now much more awakened humans on this planet. More and more of us are questioning the wisdom of our forefathers who told us all those horror stories about God and Heaven and Hell. More and more we are realizing the wisdom of the true messengers and prophets who like Christ "NEVER TALKED ABOUT A PLACE CALLED HELL, NEVER ONCE!". Instead they all encouraged the human race to seek peace and grace through kindness and giving and forgiving. These time travelers spoke of "you shall reap what you sow" which is the same as say

Knowing and experiencing perhaps are the two most misunderstood words after love and Oneness! /when considering the experience of a wild animal in the back yard of a human dwelling one has to see that much like a kiss, not even a thousand pictures will do.  IN THE COUNTRY, WE SHARE THE BOUNTY WITH THE WILD! So, we say we know of the “Alpha” and the Omega” the beginning and the end of all that is. Of course its not true, NOT ONE, NONE, NO any DEFINABLE IN HUMAN TERMS, HAS ANY CLUE AS TO THE IDENTITY OF THE ALPHA AND THE OMEA, NOT A ONE In fact allow this shaman to be the bearer of good/bad news folks. If all that we “know” of life’s origins or possible endings, was 1 bit of data, the infinite bits needed for the actual answer would seem more UNfathomable. There are no secrets friends, not between the “alpha” and the “omega” part, it is all knowable to us humans. Yep, not the in between stuff but the Alpha and the Omega of it all is,what’s not for knowing ! So then what’s th

EARTH DAY:ELDERS FART GET USED TO IT(you'll be farting soon enough)! Maybe not the best way to get a friendly start, but true non-the less! We the “baby boomers” are getting closer and closer to realizing that we are the ONES we have been waiting for, while at the same time having to accept that becoming grumpy grandpas (or Grumpas) ain't the way forward either! Nor would any amount of complaining bring the kids around. By golly I tell you I've lived long enough to know better and still can't figure this one out. Why is it that every generation has to cut a new path to living life and being human? Bleeding, yelling, music, art,whatcha got..  every generation seems to say “let me hit my head against that rock, bleed and learn for myself, but don't tell me I'm doing it wrong” Simply put, we learn from history that we don't learn from history, is that it? Are we done now? Can I be wordy without loosing the reader, the listener or the critic?
