Dear Participants on this Grand Adventure into Boundlessness!
We invite you to play with writing unfathomable poetry, as it stills the mind and awakens/evolves the body to its ability to dwell in the unfathomable–as bridge of no time and no space.
Below are verses from participants! Please feel free to join in at any time. Send me an email with your verses. To get into the ‘space’ read the verses and feel into the images and feelings they evoke in you.
We dedicate this effort to our Beloved Almine, whose blessings are eternally life-giving, in reverent appreciation and gratitude.
Days 1-3
The Masculine and Feminine Dance
Between the ocean he thrives
He plays, weaves, ducks, and dives
In awe he feels her rise
How high the ocean flies
Shane
* * * *
Cycles
The chaffinch flies through the cat’s clenched jaw
In to its soul domain
Purifying and dissolving the dream of life
Never to return in this form again
Shane
* * * *
REVELATION
Floating in glad expectations
I drop anchor in a moment –
caught by its unknowing,
Pausing, I meet with rising intensity
until suddenly,
revealed joy is flowing..
Sue B
* * * *
The sun lingers at the cross
Of inner and outer space
Before it dips into the shadows
As it whispers “come play”
Maureen
* * * *
FERTILITY
As my yearning sees the face of the Unfathomable
the finger of the Infinite in my pond
Stirs all Life…
Sue B
* * * *
HOME
Falling backwards into space that isn’t there,
Rolling over a body that is not
Bracing, for the annihilation of all that does not exist,
Arriving into Infinity
Returning,
To where I have never been, from where I have never left.
Within the symphony that is all Life
a single tone – that cannot exist alone,
is the urge in the breast of the bird
Seemingly sung, but is the song
that is my own…
Reading these poems
Delicious aromas from a cedar tree
Butterflies floating on quaffs of pristine air
A fleeting moment of total surrender
My eternal self, succumbs
Timelessness abounds, as all dissolves
Lynne
My leaves lean longingly into the sun
that hides within them
Watching puffy clouds suspended on high
Silence broken by barking dogs
Come to the cries of whining cats
Light glistens on the snow of trees
That stand closely by….listening
to the ever-present silence
Lynne S
* * * *
Just met the essence of me…
And took it in
???? Jannie
* * * *
EYES of the HEART
Watching without eyes
feeling the picture
hearing the words not spoken
I behold the miracle within my heart
Jannie
* * * *
I melt into inner spaces
As my senses imbibe
the beauty that in nature abounds.
Wild intoxicated dance ensues
heralding great change
as time with bated breath stands still, amused
Anita
* * * *
I carried her in my heart
The Moon and I played a game of hide and seek
She hid in a diamond glistening drop, one of many around the pond, all reflecting moon light
Laughter
The cosmos in a drop of dew
Frank
* * * *
Assimilating past dreams that never happened
Expands my horizonless being
Unique engagement in complete surrender
Sand spiralling up the hour glass
Eternal is the new dawn rising
from my Inner Child’s delight
Anita
* * * *
Grief
Grief’s shadow from a past existence yet to be
Casts its forgotten net in my vast heart of incorruptibility
The sadness of the dream that never was
A passing wisp of misty morning breath
Shane
* * * *
Afraid of school
In his sanctuary under the duvet
The young boy hides from himself
The phantom of school weighing heavy on his eyelids
Shane
* * * *
The First signs of Flourishing
As I walk out my front door
I hear a whisper in my ear from something growing on the floor
The crocus announces its arrival at the Spring Ball
It’s diverse beauty and depth of colour make the loudest call
The first to arrive and the stage is set
Adorn my garden, my eyes, and my heart as I gape
In awe at mutual flourishing of nature and I
The inseparable partners in the dance of life
The intricate dance of the one and the many
What a joy to behold the cells of my body
I water my garden with self-regard and reverence
I bring rays of sunshine through open hearted innocence
Appreciation of my beauty is the key
To unlocking the key of nature being me
Eternally flourishing in perpetual alchemy…
Shane
* * * *
When I tune in to your enlightened qualities I see snow peaked mountain tops of the Rockies. Still, majestic, immovable reference point for others, shining light (snow) communing with the heavens and the Earth simultaneously, eagle perspective, cradling of the valley below, almighty powerful, shelter for life, wild, stoic, diverse, portal of hidden treasures, wayshower, & beautiful.
I feel my own gifts as the elements that de-structure and nurture simultaneously.
My sun makes your snow shine brighter, wind to rustle the leaves on the mountain trees, water running together with yours in a fun race down the mountain side, fire for the campers and hikers you hold, and Earth that is our foundation.
Shane

A MOMENT
As the unfathomable dissolves within me..
I am ever the dissolved.
Sue B
BLADE OF GRASS
As I rest gently into the song of Life
I slip down the sound and find determined chatter,
Hearing without ears,
the grass growing itself.
Then ride curiosity as a snowflake
Sliding then into the song that is the wind,
receiving the decision to change direction
As we did..
Sue B
* * * *
Public Speaking
The young boy stands at the front of his class
Trembling as he reads out his homework to the ghosts of his past
Sitting surly at the front are judge and jury
In the back are shame, guilt, fear and fury
Each one scrutinising every word he says
He closes his eyes to keep them at bay
Just then a bolt of perception strikes all the others down
Only the boy left speaking aloud
Shane
* * * *
Remembering Wholeness
Mountain Goddess
Surrenders…
to a flow of low, slow moving clouds.
A reunion with the holy Source of my existence
arouses pleasure on my untouched skin.
Within the heart of the Goddess,
Boulders, still… from eons of frozen silence
Begin to sing.
Remembering Oneness, I weep…
Her luminous River flowing through my being.
An Eagle, soaring overhead, pierces the sky
with a high-pitched, orgasmic cry
sending exponential waves through my cells
as it disappears into the sun.
~Wendy
* * * *
I gasp with joy as I am flung into the depths of the ocean,
There is no fear as I sink into current…
My body surrenders profoundly as I bend, twist and turn,
In this surrendered dance,
I embrace the light breaching the waves and immense darkness below,
Fullness gathers fullness,
And I am embraced by the immensity of the vast expanse,
Trembling with the ice cold remembrance…
I am that.
Emily Cox
* * * *
Sails gliding on translucent waves,
Rhythmic rushing waters drumming,
Journey of excitement
Unfathomable beyond the horizon
that takes me home within
Lynne
ETERNAL URGE of INSPIRATION
Listening effortlessly to the voice that never speaks
compulsion awakening from where it never sleeps
Beingness transforming yet forever the same,
Awareness traversing nothingness, to this moment forever
chained..
Sue B
* * * *
DISSATISFACTION
The urge to withdraw from that which is not…
Sue B

Becoming a piece of paper
a clean white sheet
turned around and over
like a moebius
and
Becoming…

Be the One
to be
the One
Jannie
* * * *
a timeless moment and a child’s delight,
The Unfathomable discovers Eternity
As a Monarch Butterfly
floats
with effortless grace
over a Blue Lagoon…
Fluid unimaginable recognition…
Unmasking, unhooking,
the shattering of
that which was/is/should.
What was, is no more, and never was.
Sighing I gaze out my window—
In breathless abandon,
I yearn for what was never lost
But awaiting to be found.
At best, an outline of a Summer morning
All seemed well, all the shapes checked out
But something was missing I just found out
To fill in the colours and presence the trees
No longer just a sketch but imbued with physicality
The dream of eons has awoken to reality
All supposedly intangible qualities alive in me
Palpable tastes at the top of my throat
Clear as spring water or honey and toast
Love, praise, and gratitude I have already appreciated
Reverence, self-regard, and innocence are next in line
With joy, fun, and laughter waiting patiently behind
Lands and caresses my womb
It acknowledges my pain
It soothes and nurtures
it slips into the darkness of the unknowable
Then bursts forth into seeds of creativity
A hummingbird feels my calling
It signals and moves with purpose
Giving hints of the new reality
Yet to be, but also at this moment
Before it disappears into the white light
I swam to the sea floor today
where I met a sea horse
Entranced by each other’s magic
We became one
Then nothing
Then everything
We disappeared into the ocean
Flowing with the in and out breath
The wind, swirling outside the window, inviting, calling…
The little fern sways to the wind’s tune, happy to be close to the rock that offers it shade
A paper, filled with written words from a torn diary, roller coasts along the grass, freed from the bounds of its covers
Multi shaped and coloured leaves roll along the ground, then take flight, spinning, floating, picking up momentum, freely dancing with the wind
Dust, seeing the party going on, opens itself up, and becomes one with the whole orchestra that it is now a part of
There I stand, arms outstretched, in the middle of this magnificent impromptu concert, knowing, and at the same time, not,
Part of, and yet completely the whole of my magnificent concert
Denise
Darting
Dissolving
Awash &
precise
is
The light in the sky
which I see
at each glance
Essence of rainbows
Gold, Green & shine
Surely fills me
with vibrosity
& is there all
the time
yet
swoosh & swash
each
glance
Kathleen
* * * *
The perfection of a dawn’s glory
emerging out of endless dreams
like stardust seen from inner knowing
I behold my unfathomable being
Willy
* * * *
As the little girl laughed
it echoed through every star.
The taste of starlight imbued her tongue
with Infinity.
Her eyes filled with moonlight
As she sang to her toy horse
Alone in her room.
-Emily Cox
* * * *
REVERENCE
Listening to the unspeakable
Nestling in the bosom of awe,
Teardrops of unutterable Joy
Vapour to the Infinite’s thrall…
Sue B
* * * *
The lion slides silently between the tall grass, totally focused, seeing the result of his intent already in his mind’s eye.
His Intent, totally in his own magical world, skips and plays with an innocent childlike smile in his bounce.
The two meet head on in a loud clash where each is captured by their own self perceived reality, resulting in neither victory nor loss, but merely the pure, unclouded moment of what is.
Denise

In Love
Sea of blue
forget-me-nots
drink in the blue of my eyes
mesmerized…
I see through the tiny flowers’ longing
collective devotion
to reach the blue sky
that I am
Anita
* * * *
I enter into your voice
your voice comes alive in me
Your innocence fills me
renews me
that’s news me
me’s new’s me
amuse me
amours me
awash me & soars me
It lingers yet not for
I’m empty & full
says the cart to the bull.
Kathleen
* * * *
It’s already all going on
lest you drift
think you’ve missed
like a song
its all in the ether
and if so & whether
you know it or not
it’s still there.
Kathleen
* * * *
Yes seen shall she
Essence shall be
be seen
as me
See?
Kathleen
* * * *
The joy of realizing I am One
That grabs my breath from within
I stand in surrendered openness
Presenced to go to whatever was or is
Lynne
* * * *
The beauty of the falling snow
Mirrored by the mountain’s flow
My being is fluid within its essence
Feeling offerings of graceful elegance
A timeless moment for my inner child
To delight in the ever changing expression
Always moving, chasing and feeling
A timeless moment which is no more
Lynne
* * * *
Heaven on Earth
When I flourish on the Earth the Earth flourishes in me
Golden blood coursing through my veins
Brings abundance to every being
I appreciate every facet of life and it is encouraged to grow
No good or bad, right or wrong
There just is so let it go
My mantra is a win win for all
No more agenda to control it all
Surrendering to my greatness as the Infinite in expression
It is on the Earth I dwell in Heaven
Shane

Day 5
Morning Walk With the Dogs
With my heavy boots I walk a path of moist earth
Trees are nourished, alive and aware
Bushes glisten in the rays of sunlight with wetness of the morning
As chill turns into warmth
I feel full of the beauty and scents and songs of birds
Am I feeding nature?
Frank
* * * *
Illusion of Separation
The snowdrops lined up along the pitch black country road carry day through the night
The setting morning moon a timely reminder that separation is a dream
Shane
* * * *
From the black depth of my womb
I heard a voice bubble up
“The time is now to give voice”
“Give voice to who you are”
A woman emerged from the black muck
Screaming out all the lies we believed
changing colour until she stood on solid ground
In pure white light
Maureen
* * * *
I dove into the turquoise waters
With a new awareness
I was entering the sacred space
Of all life below
I heard their giggle
Saw their smile
Wondering when I would “get it”
Before we merged as one
Maureen
* * * *
Summoning His Crystal Throne
The little boy a stick drawing chair did make
but when placed on the floor he found it would not bear his weight
carefully did he adjust the paper and try again…
Not once, not twice but thrice did he
adjust and attempt with grace to sit
but each time his little behind the floor did meet.
Fairy tears shed that his magic buried
so soon have they lost their little friend?
Back to the drawing board went he
Intent on perfecting his new creation
Something must be missing he thought
Did he make enough legs, did he fill in the seat
with color bold enough?
Just then cat swiped his crayon away,
telling the boy to come and play.
And off he goes without a care
with cat and fairies trailing along
excitement in the air,
and Crystal Throne not far away
Fit for an Ancient One
Anita
* * * *
The trees, standing like shadows in a shroud of coloured mist
The Sun adds its beckoning voice to the magical image, shimmering its yellow
fingers in amongst the trees, adding its invitation to enter this magical forest
The pond of water at the forefront, like a mirror, reflecting the shadows of light and trees, a trap of beliefs and thoughts unknowingly held deep within
This picture on my wall, inviting me in, real to my eyes, igniting my heart, part of me, but not,
part of my nature, but what is that,
a glimpse of the beauty that is me, but also an illusion in the next illusory moment
Day 6
I float tasting the rhythm of my beating heart
Twirling, dancing, soaring into boundless space
Brilliance of the cosmos encompassing around me
I succumb to the majesty….
Entranced by the vastness within, that fits infinite times on a pinhead.
Lynne
The tranquility of the purring cat that lies within the sun
Lightly floating on a ray of light
Body cells surrendering envisioning the warmth
Sipping liquid serenity through the clouds
To become the sun… that I am
Lynne

Pain
Stirred out of its slumber in divine timing
And triggered by the illusion of other
Pain’s loud voice screams in delight
At what is unfolding through Mother

blossomful go
as I sit here & write
rite slow.
Kathleen
Day 7
Caresses my soul home for day’s first meeting
Glad expectations ignited within
By Mother plucking my emotional harp strings
Mindless I Be
uncertain of my footing
and now no drawing can contain
inevitability’s uncertain rooting
beyond the known where tomorrow comes at me from behind
beyond the unknown where potentials arise within a space defined
when known and unknowable enfold and unfold
ever unbecoming as they become
mindless I be yet also essential
fluid yet flashing up all formed
substancing life that ebbs and flows
swallower swallowed in the void
Pebbles soothe
the surface of the shore
with a joyous giggle
as pink feet dance
along the waters edge.
Rich muted colors,
Holding space…
Until a moment of surrender,
When the pebble is swept back
into the shimmering waves.
-Emily C.
* * * *
The little duck waddled
down the sunlit path.
Exuberant quacks punctuate her delight.
Singing to herself—
Unabashedly enjoying her sound—
She is carried
And tickled by the wind.
Her feathers admired by
her joy bouncing
and buoying the spring air.
-Emily C.
* * * *
Sparkling stars illuminate
the blanketing expanse of evening,
Coolness touching down—
Infusing all with peaceful surrender.
Wolves howl at the moon
Beckoning the mysterious promise
Of the night sky.

Day 8
Ode to the ladder stitch
My milliner’s needle,
its perfection of tempered steel
its eye, the exact same width
as the length of the shaft
until its point
which penetrates
the weave of finest cloth
This threaded needle
with a guided slide
yields the jackpot
of exquisite precision…
stitches measured in perfect minutia.
All eyes now
on the magic
of the ladder stitch
as the finest cloth gathers closed,
behold the invisible seam.
The one stitch
and the many…
The form, the finest cloth
from seed to fiber
and thread…
alchemy of seed, soil and sun
wind and rain and then some.
seamless organic perfection
that I am.
Caroline
* * * *
Everywhere I go,
I forget all I know,
I am here, and I am there
And yet, I am not
Lynne
* * * *
Infinite
I’m a puddle of humility
In the unfathomable
I bow in reverence
At your vastness
Shine your light
So that I may be
Evaporated
Into your
Pure white light
Maureen
* * * *
Bird of Paradise
Through the song of a bird, freedom arrives suddenly
in one moment it will be so
From the resonance of bursting open-hearted intimacy
Eternally, I sing life to be
in deep spaces I cannot yet know
As song birds sing the flowers into bloom
the very blooms that shatter fake realities
and spread awakening scent for all,
So I draw sweet essence into lofty dreams
the very Dreams that form heaven’s new physicality
exuding pheromones of Holy Intent beyond the Fall
Oh Birds of Paradise
in timelessness our essence flows!
Anita
* * * *
The Tightrope
I walk the tightrope between life and death
The fall equally big to my right and left
I fix my gaze on the eternal horizon
Leaving behind my wife and three sons
I continued to walk with persistence and hope
Just now I see there is no rope
Shane
* * * *
THE MYSTERY BENEATH LAKE BURLEY GRIFFEN
Enjoying my excursion through the Eternal door.
Along the banks of my lake I walked
Sharing in the delight of the schools at play
Far out in the depths of the cool, blue mystery.
Wanting to know, wanting to see, wanting to share
My desire pulling their delight to my proximity,
Suddenly they burst, fly and splash with no care
the air above their home, now no longer their mystery.
It is then that I know their true secret at last,
as they swim in numbers, slow or fast –
Creations imprint within me I could find,
So many silvery pieces – but, only One-Mind.
Susan
* * * *
Liquid diamonds glide
along her eyelashes,
Blinking into Being—
The beholding of her
own luminosity
as dripping candescence.
Every tear a sacred drop of
Oneness ever-unfolding…
-Emily C.
* * * *
Day 9
The Dream that never was
What happens if I let go
Of everything I love, own, and know?
I’ve no idea and that’s what’s scary
To leave one reality for another is like facing death,
I’m not sure I’m ready
It’s the next step of my evolution
Unavoidable as taxes and pollution
As an eons old caretaker I find it hard to go on alone
But I need to trust my role has been fulfilled
And I can finally return home
So where is home exactly?
It’s more like a feeling that a new physical reality
The transport shuttle there carries only one
No room for possessions or even one of my sons
This is the step of the journey we all must do alone
Facing our vastness to make our way home
To awaken from the dream that never was
Arriving at a moving destination
Shane
* * * *
In another dream of the Infinite One
The dream of separation dissolves
Density falls to the earth
Being Essence becomes mist
Mists of numerous colours
Unique to its own being essence
Weaving in and out
Some form braids
Others, a mere cross
Different mists become
Recognition of relationships
Black flame is my husband
Fire red is my daughter
Rise and shine yellow is my son
Dissolving into one
In the pure white light
Maureen
* * * *
She stood grounded,
rooted in her own flight.
Her heart flew
Unbounded, devoted to
streams of unknowing,
Of undoubting…
The delight of reclamation.
Beams of darkness
illuminated her innocence as
she leapt into
sweet nectar; seas of
untangled
ripeness.
-Emily C.
* * * *
Omni-beingness
sweet nectar
essence of being
flowing down the curves of the peach
as it takes a bite of me
Words flow with a roar
of fury and might
as lion flashes up
as my being’s delight
A moment suspended
of no-mind to be sure
The rock I’ve long admired
feels my deep spaces within
All highlighting places I have never yet been
Anita
* * * *
Early morning
Birds of different kinds gather around the shelf that is their feeding ground
Chirping at first softly, with space in between, then more boldly, calling out
“Where are you, we are here waiting”
Trying to help me heed their call – “I am here, waiting to show you that that you know, yet have no inkling of”
Red heads bobbing up and down, yellow Finches standing calmly watching, as if frozen in time,
The Mouse Bird hiding amongst the branches of the nearby tree, waiting to see what fruit there may be
The shy Sparrow from his rooftop perch, uncertain yet part of the alchemy
and of course the Pigeons that eat as quickly as they can, moving whoever in their way to get to the treasure of seeds
A kaleidoscope of life, gathered together, and yet each standing on their own –
I blink my eyes and they return to- where it is, I cannot feel
This beautiful gift they bring to this house every day, waiting, yet seemingly not
Each in their own world, and yet, one in flight if an unfamiliar noise touches their senses
Silent and talkative, brightly coloured and grey, in my world, but not
Of my world, and also a world I am unknowing of
And then, my huge “Dinosaur ” bird sweeps in and changes the scene
All others gone as one, in a moment, leaving not a sign
for another seeming reality before me.
All this diversity, can all be really me?
What makes me myself when all is wiped clean from one moment to the next?

Day 10
Velvety sky
Green wavy land
The air filled with new potency
that I breathe in deeply
Jannie
* * * *
Goddess of ecstacy
Launched into nothingness
Like Lotus did before
The start of the new
Where will I go from here
No directions, no perceptions
everything around me
is all there is
Jannie
* * * *
Only one month old
he saw my light
and gave it a big smile
He touched my heart
“Essence to essence”
can not be easier
Jannie
* * * *
Going into the depth
of my world,
turquoise tiger passing by
a lake.
Flowing water,
The moon rises on a child’s drawing.
Coloured sky turning bright,
the light intense
and my world turns into only light…
….ness of being
waiting for the next step to emerge.

The Child Knew All
At the cusp of day and dream
lulled by the cadence of the electricity poles
as the car rides the pavement waves
the little child in deep delta doth feel
the taunting in and out rhythm of the Joker
she knows only too well…
Is he friend is he foe? He looks quite benign,
yet colorless and slightly mocking can be no friend of mine.
The in and out rhythm a hypnotic spell indeed
the feel is sinister as the way out be not known nor seen.
Trapped is her family inside the Joker’s lair
not she though, for she sees yet the burden be there.
She feigns a friendship, the opportunity to await
when she can leap on the out rhythm
and break through the membrane.
How long has she waited?
But a second is forever in linear time it seems…
Now clearer the path in no-time it comes
Be still little one the Joker to unmask
he is the tube torus Tumbler whose time has past
Stumble no more in the tumbling dream
Slip in the within and out you be
in the new Reality: the Dream you always felt truth to be.
Now Dream little one in Awakening clarity
Your jubilant presence to permeate where was scarcity…
deep sigh now my sweet one release all concerns
and all life is lifted as though nothing occurred
your wonderment, the magic to flourish life evermore
Anita

I saw the image of a whale
Holding her dead calf
For two days
In Unfathomable grief
Dead from the chemicals of plastics
I’m hardly able to breathe
I dive deep within the pain
Searching for perception
Has the whale drawn
The line in the sand?
Now is the time, innocence
Is lost for Humanity?
We merge as one
Tears flow
Holding Innocence as center
Bringing the complexity within
Finding simplicity
Bathing the sacred mother
In reverence,
in self love
In a Color bath
Finding beauty within
Expanding to Infinity
I feel inexplicable joy
I see the calf
Reborn
Spinning
Maureen
* * * *
I love to soar, I love to fly
Above the poetic branches of the sky
On wings of fairy dust up and up I go
Embracing planet, stars and moons unknown
Am I within, or am I without
It all seems to blend
Then rays of luminous colour
Are with me, as I dream of floating on air
Feeling so spacious and glowing with light
My body tingles in warm caresses from below
Earth opens up in omnipresent delight
In awe I am honored…I am…. all that
Lynne
* * * *
My Essence in a Tree
In the essence of a tree lies all and part of me
A part just awoken that I’m only now seeing
Hidden in this large oak tree
I have been lying dormant for an eternity
What about birch, apple, aspen, and ash?
Each one I awaken in me feels like big piles of cash
A part of my body coming online
Bringing all required resources in the nick of time
When will I learn to trust in divine timing
And not get caught up in controlling and whining?
I’m awakening at the pace that is perfect for me
Nothing out of place, all in perfect harmony
How excited, inspired, and free I feel
Expressing as and in nature’s grand symphony.
Shane
* * * *
The little boy gripped a bucket
full discovered treasures
as he sloshed and jumped into
every puddle with his bright
ruby red rain boots, which
glistened with fallen
droplets of clouds.
He knew he could conjure
dragons with his water dance,
And he smiled into the moment
beams of Sunlight,
immersing himself in
wondrous delight.
The Sky looked up at him
and laughed with a joyous
thunder that quaked
the morning dew.
-Emily C.
Day 11
WITH NEW EYES
Weaver of webs
Catcher of dreams
Eyes on fixed patterns
Forever repeating patterns
Or so it seems…
Tired of being caught in the old dream,
I stopped weaving.
Letting go of the web of life
I glided effortlessly into an unknown world.
With new eyes
The Unknowable sees through the Web of Creation backwards
Breaking the spell.
I awaken into a dream yet to be woven into a dreamer.
All is ever new
All that I am is released into the depths of Unfathomable
All seeing…with new eyes
Behold unfathomable vastness
Yet to be remembered.
Wendy

Splendor coaxes the morning Sun awake:
A tidal wave of Self revealing beautiful vistas of exploration,
As Remembrance shakes loose frozen mountain streams.
Radiant songs of still-movement;
A hushed whisper of imagining…

Cosmic Love
Some people never find their cosmic love and some people do
I am one of the lucky ones because I found two
I feel like I’ve lived (at least) two lifetimes in one
One as the moon and one as the sun
Sometimes it feels like my first life was yesterday
Sometimes a million years ago rolling in to today
Each one I loved to the depth my heart could go to
That depth dramatically increased by life number 2
Many lessons have been learned, many laughs have been shared
Many tears have been shed, many times I’ve been scared
Each passing day I open a little more
Becoming more vulnerable, allowing my divine feminine through the door
In these intense times I’m being pushed to let her in
To inspire and ignite me, to purge the distortions within
One of her lessons has come to a head
That relationships are not just about going to bed
What was once the pinnacle of the connection between two souls
Is merely icing on the cake when you’ve built it on so much more
An eargasmic conversation or a sensual embrace
With the right person, can easily sex replace
But before you get all starry-eyed by this orgasmic possibility
There is one relationship that must be mastered before standing together for infinity
To love yourself with self-regard, open heart and reverence
Is the foundation that must be laid before approaching another in innocence
Like little children holding hands
No agenda, ties or neediness
We flit and float like summer bees
Connecting only at points of resonance
No expectations, roles, or needy hearts
Like meeting a wonderful new friend without the need to go back to the start
None of this has been easy by the way
More beliefs around relationships have been shed today
Letting go of my cosmic love
Is a heart-breaking necessity so we both can grow
There is so much to master and much to learn
Before we are truly ready to pick this up again
There are no rule books, no precedents have been set
We must redefine relationships forgetting everything since we met
Just like all I thought I’ve ever known
Into the fire of lost memories it must be thrown
Burning away old static geometry
That could hold us back from expressing our self-sovereignty
No reference points allowed beyond this point of reality
Beyond where only the ocean lies in borderless boundlessness
Stretching beyond infinity, where I find me.

The love of my life
Interweaves with
The love of my death
But
I am he
And
He is me
Both starring at
Trapped potential
Portals
To the eternal self
Revealing
The road to the
Unfathomable

The Thread through Timelessness
The seamlessness of life unfolding
superb wonder to behold
A thread pulled from Creation’s tapestry
a move oh how so bold.
Intricate imponderable unfathomable it was
yet the journey inevitable began perforce
to open up a space of paradox…
The unraveling journey of Paradise Lost began
into the forest dark we plunged
engulfing maze that grew more stark.
The thread so thin the way was long
and vision of oneness dimmed,
But naught is lost and never it was
as the hopelessness was but a dream.
While we asleep the feminine always
was ever busy in depth of magic unseen.
Vast ever changing yet immutable it was and always is to be
how can the paradox of all or nothing ever be contained you see?
The space of unravelling the thread so thin
within became
the fluid inner reality that shifts and shapes
around and through
the Imponderable Unfathomable Indestructible Self
as we willingly forget the dream.
A space of expression unbound to nurture
it was always meant to be
the unfathomable playground for gods and men
uncontained for the limitlessness game.
Intricate imponderable unfathomable mutable fluid space
against the backdrop of the immutable tapestry of Paradise never lost
as the unraveling through time could never have been

Swirling, Soaking, Comforting, Rejuvenating, Inviting, Hydrating, Contemplating
Enveloping Me
This Water
Creating this place for dreams
Blossoming from within,
Inspiring
Being anything and everything
Taking me to this place
Unseen, untasted, unknown
Enfolding me, and also being enfolded by this me that I don’t know but recognize completely

Golden Light shining from beyond the horizon
Bringing with it promises received by glad expectations
Merging with the reality that came before it
And was also there always
Waiting to be discovered, breathed in, owned

While the children play Hide & Seek…
Once upon a nothing time,
I didn’t go to hide,
Instead I went and found myself,
What a surprise, what a surprise

Cats prowls
more free now
as we open the door
at their whim
For the love of the birds,
I’d kept them in
but now with the news
that the birds
do work on
preparing the next world
when they pass on
door is now open
so much so that it doesn’t exist now it’s gone
we’ve moved on

Roaring waves exploring the silence
fluidly dissolving boundaries

Day 12
Proclamation
I am ready.
To leap into miraculous becoming…
The ever-unfolding splendor beyond comprehension.
I am the Sea—
Which swallows and births storms.
I am the Tree—
Rooted, Growing, Expanding.
I am the Child—
skipping in Mother’s garden.
I Am More
than what can be known.
I shake with delight
I dance with open-hearted abandon
I glimpse the Unseeable
I breathe for joy’s sake
I am beyond

The Unfathomable Fall
Standing at the precipice of a new Cosmic Year
I dive in to the vast unfathomable me, bereft of any fear
My mind takes a back seat on the way down
Sipping cups of flavoured light and dancing to silent sounds
Like an excited child on the way to the zoo
Mind’s questions flow, like, “how do I smell the colour blue?”
“How far is eternity” and “how do you colour in a galaxy?”
Question after question the mind tries the unfathomable to know
As futile as trying to win a game of X’s and O’s
Soon it will lose when I know longer fear losing it
Embracing the mindless life of the enlightened village idiot!
Shane

Today before our new cosmic year appears
I sat in delicious innocence amidst shooting flares
Sensations in my eternal being came trumping in
With tones of density, pain and heavy yearning
My mind was nowhere to be found
In mindlessness no thought abound
With emptiness and unfathomable knowing
In coloured silence tears of sadness flowing
I released myself from the grip of ghosts long past…
and freed myself from humanity’s plan
Into the luminous white light…that I am.

Rain, bringing hope
In a moment
Erasing the harshness hanging in the air
Washing through all
Nudging remembrance of innocence, laughter
This reminder that anything is possible
This part of me
Reunited, remembered
Me and the rain
The rain and me
One and the same
Denise

I give it a moment
To get back on track
Can’t see it,
Can feel it
Can sense it
Can hear it
Restoring my hearing
Brings ease & clearing
Sensations so calming
Sea Shell
heals my head
Knowing what to do
& Being That.

Permission to pause
& connect with

made of oak from this land

Space of Innocence
Wrapped in a radiant
glow of divine warmth—
embraced,
nourished,
bathed,
kissed,
and enfolded
in the tender truth
of her own Being,
the baby slept
in a fathomless
intimate cosmic yawn.

thank Thee.

Wake in this morning,
how ever to be,
Softly opening eyes
to see what’s inside of me,
Alert yet no tension
Vivid action.

A shiney copper penny
sits there on the floor
I pick it & hold it
expand it to more,
It reaches the rent due
cascades over edge,
The Children Shall
Play School

As I sit and swim in intense excitement
I wonder, what will become of me?
I hear a reply ‘ I will never know, as I have never been, where I now attempt to go’
As the ripples dance in waves of unknowability
I feel the deepest comfort of mother’s embrace
This pulsing I can feel, is in every one of you, feeling you so close to my heart as never before
We journey on, together my dear lightfamily, onward we go to where nobody knows
Comforted by the gentleness that the wind blows
A new dawn is rising let us set sail, into the horizon where the unfathomable dwells….yay!!!!

ICU
As I sit in the hospital room, hearing all the sounds of ICU…I focus essence to essence on all that I see…and listen to the Unfathomable speak to me.
It’s difficult to see loved ones going through so much…I feel deep compassion and empathy, yet same time see all the beauty and wonderful becomings…knowing that all is perfection, makes me smile!

Unparalleled
brilliant
knowing…
Beyond words
but a taste
at the tip of the tongue—
A sweetness,
which makes palpable
the indescribable,
the unknowable,
And births revelation.
I smile within and without.
Full sensory engagement—
As cells whisper to stars.
We are held and cherished
by All that is—
And this is just what can be fathomed!
But there is an ever-emerging horizon…
Animating our glory,
our spark.
And we,
together,
swirling in colorful delight,
Will behold Beyond,
And laugh in Fullness.
