JUST BE(CAUSE)
Looking into things
(S)he realised I am Trump!
Time for a rethink …
Did I have a hand in this?
And what do I seek to learn?
Earlier in between showers
(S)he went into the garden
(With not a Maud in sight)*
Ladybird, ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire, children all gone
Going, going, going, gone
India told me once just be
Give the wheel away
But not to just anyone
Don’t be so laxy#
Open the canister, get to the man inside
Quiet and thoughtful of others
Not the fly God
Nor the shy god
Believe and you will be transformed

The Perils Of Social Isolation
The Perils Of Social Isolation.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
THE ISOLATION ILLUSION
Each WE a finger.
Without others no more WE!
Many fingers > one hand.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
All’s Well
ALL’S WELL
All is one
If not won
Not as yet
Patience
Patience
We are our
Own doctor
Patience
Patience
All in good time

The tree spreads
The fawn is small
Shelters, nurtured
Air – as will water
Will fill or empty
Whatever space
Is encountered
At this time
Large – as small
Dissolves
As time shucks off
Its shackles
And chuckles
Contented
Yellow Card
YELLOW CARD*
We cannot understand anything
While our understanding gets in the way.
Stop expecting what you’re expecting.
It’s time to give up.
But who is it that gives up?
Okay I give up.

Some unknown friend came by
Dropping a little yellow card
Through my letterbox today.
On one side were the words
“The words which are written
On the other side are true.”
On the other were the words
“The words which are written
On the other side are false.”
…..
…..
Stop expecting what you’re expecting.
It’s time to give up.
But who is it that gives up?
Okay I give up.
We cannot understand anything
While our understanding gets in the way.

Uncrazy
UNCRAZY
EYE is not crazy unless so believed,
EYE rests in the centre and sees,
In calm and quiet, quite quite quiet.
Acknowledging without judgement.
EYE is the quiet before the storm.
Swept away by the hurricane? No!
Simply covered in clouds of ripples.
Solution? Simple. So simple.
Return to the centre.
Release …..
Relax …..
Realise …..
EYE is not crazy, simply I disturbed.
Still and silent EYE is as sane as I.
Familiar (with image)
FAMILIAR
A true bond
Is never broken
Birth to death
Life to life
Rooted in one another
Branches of one tree

I came across this fine photograph on New Hampshire Garden Solutions‘ site and was moved to republish this shadorma accompanied (with his kind permission) by his photo. His site is one of my favourites, always full of both beauty and interest, and I highly recommend it.
Icy Isolation
ICY ISOLATION
An endured endurance
Amid a general bewailing
A mighty sweep then resweep
Ending up within time’s shackles
A past with shadows over the present
A present casting shadows over any future
Everything as the one tapestry … interwoven
The wise weaver will bear this fact in mind
So avoid the trap of uncaring isolation
Above, below … not above, beneath
Beneath a gist always so clear
A something left to give
Something to receive
(As in an I before E
Except after C)
Eh? is for questioning
Be! is for accumulating experience
See! is for understanding
… und so weiter
(E before I!!!!!)
A general bewailing (reprise)
So you can rock
You can roll
Be rocked
Be rolled
Beware of
Awarenesslessness
Avoid avoidance
Left unrequited
Blue and black
Energy medicine
Urgently required
Unadjusted defaults
Uninvited deflation
Stranded on one strange strand
