Some Rumi worth ruminating over…
Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right.
It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself
chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want
and end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others
and fall in.
I should be suspicious
of what I want.
- Rumi Mathnawi
from The Essential Rumi, version by Coleman Barks
I move
in faith
my guidance is taking me on the highest plan possible
for this lifetime
(and henceforth)

evanescent everything
(sand sculptures)
as all atoms are
scattered someday

Toronto alive with awareness is a new realm!

my flow shifted the day
I changed my focus from being all about my local “tribe” to wanting to serve the world in general
new angles
new angels
so
here I am Now
back in the big city
feeling energized by it all
each moment a mission
yet
I know I’ll see
the crystal mountain
again

meditating on the bus
abiding within
while rolling along towards a new life
I briefly open my eyes
and see
the big city digital billboard say,
“best do-over ever!”

sometimes it feels
as if
we have been army buddies
b4


we are all drawn to each other
by mysterious forces
in this tribe
we were all born
to help Earth ascend
we feel it
we know it
media kidz!
how we love each other
sexy, romantic characters
sometimes we’re drawn to connect deeply
(heart and flesh)
then not
it’s the biological imperative
feel its vicissitudes
(be present in your own drama)
it’s the fastest way to evolve
after all
yet
let it come and go
enjoy it
cry about it
with passion
holistically unattached to how it appears
(love is all-ways here)
how-ever
re-member
the work must go on
preparing for a meeting tomorrow which may bring compelling career developments
abiding in faith the right job will always appear in divine timing
though I prepare still
as making an effort is required

bold moves
to a
bigger realm
revealing potentialities
uncovering sensitivities
cultivating radical acceptance
& loving the heart of it

next time I do this drive
I will be with you
we will bring better cameras
& linger in backroads hamlets
as the flow goes
along the way
how-ever
this time
I shall hurry home
(enjoying the view)

when thoughts of worry about which way to turn appear
taking a deep breath
relaxing about the unfathomable array of possibilities
relaxing about the feelings surrounding clarivoyance of probabilities
choosing this:
I Love it ALL as a singularity (and as self)
Now

image by Tony Westbrook
it’s obvious
changes are happening
let go of how you “wanted” it to happen & relax
trust that you’re being delivered to where you need to go
let go of all goals except the most general
happiness
abundance
peace
whatever floats your boat
relax about the specifics
who are you to know what you’ll enjoy most?
and anyway
real Joy beyond happy/sad is already available 24/7
all:ways superimposed on top of every arising
NOW
it might take awhile to feel it fully
as the body takes awhile to adjust to the new frequencies!
so until then
cry if you want to

today I rejoice
as
it has become easy to Love everyone Now
no matter how it feels
I remember who I am!
grant me the wisdom
and self-control
to act accordingly

important notice from the Galactic Federation
as humans the most important thing we can do to help “save the Earth” is:
EMANATE GOOD VIBES
do whatever is necessary for you to get there
fun is recommended
stay positive
DANCE
the rest is taken care of
your energy is needed to fuel the fires of change
our bioelectric energy is Earth’s energy
we ARE Gaia
there are people out there who get this Now
you will find them and work/live/love together
negativity is negativity no matter the story and is to be phased out ASAP
you will need to learn new ways to behave and speak (words are key)
start Now and watch your reality shift

raw and real
stings sometimes
(and keeps some of us compelled to come back)
be
cause
the truth is:
all is Love!

ancient angels
alien ambassadors
and aspiring adepts
allies amassing!
altered anatomies
adroit attitudes
and accelerating agility
advantageous abilities!
adoring adventure
always adapting
and activating ascension
an amazing age!
in prayer I asked
how do I ground out these intense feelings coming at me from all around?
the answer came through
(as applied alliteration)
ENGAGE them fully in the heart
ENERGIZE them into Love
EMANATE them outward everywhere
the old way hurts
the transition is worse
but if we endure
we find the cure
and then for sure
we become more pure
note to self:
notice the ego’s tendency to convince the mind that you’re unworthy of love
by marking the few negative thoughts & comments of the Other as “proof” that they’re against you
letting these inevitable “lapses” into moments of darkness and doubt
somehow negate all the loving words and deeds as dishonest
and also notice
how these moments happen less frequently
when you remember
how worthy of love
YOU ARE
would you choose
fast ascension
with extra intensity
painful and pleasurable
or
relaxed enlightenment
no pain no strain
always in perfect happy grace ?
trick question!
it’s not your choice
it’s the former
because in this crucial crux in history
we all need to ramp up amp up
it’s fastrack time
how-ever
re-member
it’s always worth the effort
and everything turns out better
than anyone can possibly imagine

in meditation
all the stories fall away
unidentifying with the voices
and though at the cosmic level
“I am not the person”
mymy I love her so
today
all stories about what’s to be
& my so-called destiny
addictive fixations of fantasy
were ripped away
ouch ouch ouch
such a painful joyful way to find relief
and though it’s sometimes scary
I LOVE that it’s unknown, undefined
how exciting
how sublime
focusing on living in the Now
and being present
even though
there’s a temptation to linger in daydreams of the imminent future
& the delicious improvements to come
as in, “it’s all going to work out” or “I just have to get through this phase”
especially as
Now is sometimes really uncomfortable
however
being fully here for this process
is the Way
that which you fear she will not overcome
feeds on your fear
& makes her climb Home steeper than it needs to be
Notes to self:
whatever stories you’ve made up about
“what is going on”
are largely delusional
and only valid from your particular (peculiar) perspective
however
the buzz you feel around certain stories
is real
i.e. “there’s some kind of energetic”
sit with the energy
embrace it
embody it
and most importantly
stop letting the stories
tempt you into wasting your mental powers
figuring it all out
drama happens
instead of reacting to drama
(which feeds drama)
hold everyone in your heart
whenever they come into mind or view
less processing
less contempt
more forgiveness
more compassion
more Love
we’ll wheel
around what we feel
until we heal
here’s the deal:
be real
(ideal?)
complaining
jealousy
and
worry
all have the opposite effects
that you’re aiming for
when you feel an emotion
towards “another”
remember
there’s no one here
except (accept!) yourself
