Gently Walking Home

A   L   O   H   A  !

What can we gain by sailing to the moon

 if we are not able to cross the abyss that 

separates us from ourselves? 

This is the most important of 

all voyages of discovery.

        Thomas Merton

Gently direct your mind.

Steady your attention

on that which you choose:

The reality to be

Real-ized.

It is all about the

person you desire to Be.

Do not seek to dam the flow.

Ignore the mental traffic;

Let it roll on, while you

gently return and hold

what you seek before your

inner eye.

Taming Ego, nothing less,

takes patience more than strength.

One day at a time.

If you are trying,

you are trying too hard.

Sit in the cave that is you.

and be surprised

as the light grows within.

Your private meditating time

will become a lovers rendezvous.

Every time, the person you become

grows into the person you are.

You grow effortlessly

because it's really not

about effort.

Just go every day to 

sit with your best self,

and you will come to wonder

if you were ever

anyone less.

Simply dwell on what you seek

as if it is Here & Now.

Until It Is.

Things in the world

may be known.

Things of the Spirit

you must Become.

Love You,
