Turn Inward

This poem was inspired by a recent encounter with Byron Katie at The School For The Work in Los Angeles, October 2015 (and by two of my meditation teachers, Claudio & Kathleen).  I was driving to the beach in Maui listening to some beautiful music and thinking of a consciousness surfing friend, Jules... Somehow the combo opened these words in my heart...




I turn inward
Toward the unseen sky
And fall completely
Into the oblivion of my true nature

In the vast expanse of openness
Past and future cancel each other out
No starting point
And no end

There are so many names for what I love
So many ways
To enter the kingdom of heaven
But who's entering?

I call out to creation, "Who's entering?!”
A great silent dragon shimmers in infinity
That which does not answer
Is the answer

My Life is Sand in The Palm of The Buddha

Here's a little koan written from the quiet echos of one of my meditations (sometime last year).  It came back to me again this Feb during a month-long self-directed meditation retreat in Maui.
When I read it, it's like shooting an arrow into the dark; I have to listen more deeply to understand its impact...
Enjoy :)

My life is sand in the palm of the Buddha
The Great Wind comes and disperses me
When I reach down for more sand
I am astonished
No sand
No hand
