The Great Breakdown and Breakthrough: surrendering our shells
Blazing bright light pours in
Blinding some
Opening the eyes of others
Tears flow, letting go
Some shade their eyes or
Shut them tightly, instinctually
Not ready to be absorbed into
The Oneness
Without much control or certainty
Some keep protecting their hearts as
They have had to do all of
Their lives, quite so
Given horrible human tragedies and sorrows
Free will abounds continuously and
We can choose what we take in
What we let go of and
What we refuse to allow
We may handle this process consciously
And often unconsciously
We still feel fear and are not
Easily ready for the Great
Breakdown and Breakthrough
Sailing into that space requires
Such a huge release and surrender
We imagine our systems may not be able to
Get through the breakdown in order to
Breakthrough
We breathe deeply over time
Becoming more open and willing
Within, in order to resonate better
With the Divine Mysteries and
Our higher selves who
Assist us so beautifully
We don’t have to do anything exactly
Except to continue to heal ourselves as much
As we can so that we can expand with
This rising, magnificent metamorphosis
As we crack out of our highly protective shells
So that we can progress into other dimensions
Experiencing higher evolutionary frequencies
That we have not known before
The structures are already dissolving
Changing into something different
Our minds, hearts and bodies are also
Transforming if we allow ourselves
To connect deeply
Both within and with Source
Tired of living the ways we have lived
Until now, some of us
Throw caution to the wind and
Dive in ready and willing
Open hearted and trusting
Seeking to bare our souls and
Our bodies, gliding into the
Swarming miasma and murkiness of
What we do not yet know
Hoping to breathe while the clearing is happening
Only then, can we see what we may never
Have seen before, felt in ways we may never
Have felt before, becoming aware of
So many truths more purely and vividly
Only then will we know more fully
The very good news
Breaking down
Breaks through
Dissolving but not
Collapsing
Then, we can receive and rest
Glowing and radiating
Illuminated in Grace and Peace

Immortal Fruit
After the hurricane has swept through
The weather clears and chaos is silenced
We enter into a state of simple bliss
When the wildfire has burned itself out
As the ashes cool, we walk more easily into
The everlasting field of Grace and Love
Once finished with battles and waging war
Our despair, fear and greed diminish, then
We notice the Sun and the Moon once again
After wrangling around and tangling into knots
When we give up the desire to control every part of life
We experience the deep Love that harmonizes us
Once we move past the conflicts and craziness of life
While we breathe more deeply more often, without barriers
We burst out of our shells and see and feel the Delight
As the unfolding of evolutionary dynamics becomes apparent
When the dark energies in which we have dwelled are released
A surge of safety and joy emerge spontaneously and peacefully
When we offer to each other the ecstasy that we experience
When we share ourselves with all energies of living beings
We turn toward the Divine Presence imbuing us
Once we give up so much attention to the details of physicality
When the material world becomes less and less important
We brighten and glow, releasing all unnecessary stress
When we glide into a dissolving state of surrender
As we let go, we crawl into quantum leaps of faith
Tasting the delicious, immortal fruit of pleasure and play
Which is all that we have ever really wanted for ourselves
And for others throughout the cosmos, manifesting
Hope and Trust while abiding in total bliss
Unbounded, liberated and free from all shackles
Altered, changed, transformed into Love itself
Overflowing with great compassion and eternal joy
Always and forever
So it is

Symbiotic Serenity
Breathing deeply rhythmically slowly
Sliding from immense space into the earth beneath
An prehistoric and new presence forms
A force, an energy
Bellowing its way up from the core of
Infinity, moving into the galaxies and spatial
Streams of floating spirals, magenta and blue
Surrounding the cosmic womb
Connecting body to earth
Earth to cosmos
Blossoming from seed to ancient growth
Blooming every color imaginable
Peeking around every curve and corner
Love flutters in
In divine style she offers unique unity
To those who choose to follow her path
Colliding, merging, harmonizing together
Melting and dissolving each particle and wave
Cell and atom
Into oceans and seas, rivers and streams
Physical bodies and beings
Offering a matrix containing
All of life, every living energetic
Every signal and hope ever to be born
Transformed
Being stirred together, assimilating
All the flavors of each ingredient
Stylized by design, every piece
Puffed up with steam and heat
Floating through vapors, waters and frozen terrain
All is One
No longer being able to view myself as
Individual, rather, a conglomeration
Multidimensionable combination
No longer single and separate
I wander into communion, a total union
Microscopic and behemoth at the same time
Thunderous sounds of hooves and horns
Shredding the earth as beasts gallop toward
The gates of whatever individuality remains
Pushing through all resistance
Plowing away all the fences
Breaking brick walls and shedding cumbersome debris
Stones liquefy and become something other
Every thing coalesces
Vibrant tangling and integrating
Arms, legs, hands, tails, and faces
Twisting, tumbling, swirling together
Without any fear
With the ecstasy of letting go of all control
Surrendering to the power of
The Infinite Source
The heartbeat of All Presence
Bridging gaps and holes
Membranes cracking, giving up, giving in
Blending and dissolving without danger
No terror and no questioning at all
No hard surfaces remain
Just knowing deep truth and wisdom
Shared, given, and received over and over again
And to those who linger in the dust
To those whose barbed wires continue to
Protect them from Love
Still needing boundaries and conditions
Soothing for some
Good enough for now
Join us, will you?
Hand to hand
Heart to heart
Mind to mind
Soul to soul
Blessings flowing into
The Whole
Perpetual Joy while still
Being Human
No more worries or anxieties
Ever
Sink in
Relax in, and
Live eternally in
Symbiotic Serenity
