That which is awareness is greater than consciousness
That which is conscious is greater than mind
That which is mind is greater than mental formations
That which is mental formation is based on reaction
That which is reaction is based on perception
That which is perception is based on perspective
That which is perspective is limited
That which is limited is illusion
That which is Illusion is transformed by wisdom
That which is wisdom arises from awareness
Beloved why do you weep
I’ve found that which we seek
New worlds new sights and indeed
Boundless love wrapped with endless peace
Free the sorrow from your heart
Then you’ll see that we’re not apart
On peaceful nights in silence deep
Into your dreams I often creep
Heal your heart with love sublime
Dry your tears let the knot unwind
In every breath you’ll see the sign
We are made of spirit divine
When I crashed my bike that day
My body broke but I am not dead
Consciousness does not dissipate
My light and my love perpetuate
100 days in the light today
Some day you too will come this way
I pray you trust me when I say
Death does nothing to the soul
Hold that space with love for me
A look, a whisper, a kiss
A breath, a day, a thousand lifetimes.
Love is.
1 January 2012
The angel of grief has stolen my light
Wisps of your shadow in the sleepless night
Lost in the labyrinth of how and why
Alone in the scattered debris of my life
Separated by the vast empty divide
I bear the loss I cannot bear
Raising silent fist to empty sky
Swallowed by the dark hole that you left behind
Gone, the dreams I didn’t know I had
Gone, the ground I didn’t know I could stand
Gone, the reason for me to go on
My grief is all I have left of you
Sonnenfinsernis by Michael Karrer
Following the finger to the cloud-shrouded moon
The light is dark since dusk and soon
The watery orb up in rain-soaked shadows
Chandra is lost as Rahu swallows
Following the vastitudes of “me” and “I”
Clouds that whirl around “mine” and “my”
Close your eyes quiet your mind
Deconstruct space deconject time
Drenched In the light of pure consciousness
No bells or whistles, no angelic choruses
Just the deep joy of realization upon your cheek
It is the sun that shines in the moon that you seek
Nothing to fear no need to run
Consciousness shines shadows undone
In the deep darkness that Rahu has won
When we loose sight of the moon and sun
Meditation 101:
Consciousness is;
Even in the total eclipse of the sun.
Forging ahead you seek the one who meets your eyes
Unadorned intensity empty of all disguise
The one who reads the meaning of your gaze
Who shares your path and stays unfazed
Standing still you wait for a star to guide your way home
The one who knows your heart and mirrors your mind with his own
Lost in the enchanted forest too tired to roam
The white rabbit on the dark side of the moon, you feel so alone
