Brilliance passing through*

Brilliance passing through*

Oh night of darkness, blanket passed

The day of sunshine has come at last

There was some clouds that came and gone

But now how radiant to see the dawn

The trees and flowers arise from the ground

To grow so much higher without a sound

The dew dissipates, nature gets its last drink

For roots to go deeper and deeper they sink

Alas moving onward to brilliant afternoon

And hang around a bit more before it sees the moon

But what a picture that is now in plain view

While the day is around showing its beauty to you

Balance, the present always is*

Balance, the present always is*

Life makes the wheel go round and round

To attach to it there is suffering that abounds

Go away from inside to the spoke

Exhaustion begins, Karma it is that you go for broke

But when you realize this does not work for you

And your aim is still to remain of heart so true

Then you will become of that center and to have never

The suffering that you had as balance is forever

Keep this in your awareness as what is within really knows

It is your Soul* that has been here before and it shows

To make you become present and be its wisdom inside

Once you are merged with this you no longer need a guide

You then are awakened~as things intuitively happen as meant to be*

Look for me

I see you

Blind we are*

Crest of the wave

Shoreline stretch

Water doesn't walk*

Crooked and contempt

The music starts up

Shiva reveals a dance*

Freedom soars and sings*

Freedom soars and sings*

Upon blue skies so far and vast

Open invitation, clouds have past

The red tail takes to this and soars

To be of this freedom evermore

With wind to glide under its wings

For in this silence, its song it sings

"Leave" it alone...that is why it is fall*

"Leave" it alone...that is why it is fall*

A monk at a ZEN* monastery was told by the ZEN* master to clean up the leaves in the yard. It was the end of fall and the yard needed to be attended to. So the monk set out to clean up the yard by raking it. When he was done he was proud of what he did to make the yard all tidied up.

So a good breeze came by and the wind took most of them away from the pile. The monk was now perplexed and confused as now he had to do his work over again to satisfy the ZEN* master's wish. So he hurried as fast as he could to put the pile back together in one big heap.

Then all of the sudden as you would not believe, the wind became more violent and blew all the leaves around the yard with no other choice but to wishfully buy more time in cleaning the yard up.
But to no avail that he had seen the ZEN* master coming down the pathway to inspect the monk's work.

When the ZEN* master came to the monk and looked out at the yard, of course the monk became very nervous, the ZEN* master was ready to say his words about how the yard looked. Nervous as the monk was, the ZEN* master with a look of discernment in his eyes exclaimed, "PERFECT!!!!!!...a job well done." 

All things in life are meant to be the way they are suppose to be, we just have a tendency to correct them to look good in one's eye and not see the meaning why it is just that it is. A dirty floor will be cleaned but once again the floor after such cleaning becomes dirty once again. It has been dirty all the long. The emphasis should be placed on what is within that one to see that all things are already done as the Universe has already done so. In this case the Universe wished it to be left alone as it knows exactly what to do next with those leaves.
