Be This Only Be this only: One Love And walk in beauty -- let every step Be in kindness and harmony. Be free -- imprisoned no longer By the narrow range of thought -- Leave your mind with the caged bird Singing of the wild it does not know. Be this only: before the One Become the red rose of passion Indistinguishable from every delight... Be the surrendering of lovers And their union beyond form or flower. Be this only: before sound, one Sigh Of the luminous wind before the grandeur Of the Universe leaning in for you to kiss. Birth 2012 And Beyond This moment -- our moment in time -- is pregnant with transformational possibilities: both personal and Planetary. What is it going to take? Perhaps, only you! With our entire precious blue Planet at risk -- and the willfully blind oppression of women and global violence, especially towards children -- how is it possible for anyone to remain passively uncommitted? Access to a voting booth does not make for a particapatory democracy, neither will attending church, temple, mosque, or circle make for a saint. This moment, our moment, is calling out to each one of us -- personally -- so how much longer will you wait? How much longer before you follow Yeshua, Rumi, Francis, Dorothy, Gandhi, King, Maathai, and all of the other mystic-activists about the work of manifesting the radiance and beauty of the New Creation? ... The grandeur of the Universe is leaning in for you to kiss... are you ready now for the kiss of your life? Are you ready to kiss and kiss and kiss more? If not, what is holding you back?
