"A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusion."
– Alan Watts (via nirvikalpa)

"Let-go means no competition, no struggle, no fight… just relaxing with existence, wherever it leads. Not trying to control your future, not trying to control consequences, but allowing them to happen… not even thinking about them. Let-go is in the present; consequences are tomorrow. And let-go is such a delightful experience, a total relaxation, a deep synchronicity with existence."
– Osho (via nirvikalpa)

Shooting Star

For a moment in time
—It appeared 
It arrived safely, 
and unleashed its overflowing energy.
It rained absolute wonder,
A sight for sore eyes 
The burning light filled my heart,
Racing to the depths of my soul.
It’s flicker was magical 
It’s song, silent and beautiful 
A star of wonder 
Of grace and honor.
In this fleeting moment 
Time stood still—
Sparks of eternal bliss,
Chants of a natural harmony.
Tough little star 
Twinkling, twisting
Spiraling out of control 
My dear, what can I do…
One wonders how they navigate
Is there any rhyme or reason?
They break through the outer self 
And explore the inner wealth 
The star that brought me here,
Shining light through my eyes 
Reaching to all of my senses,
Remains —skin on skin.
Our hands, legs, and faces
Even our dirty places, 
Our minds, souls, and hearts 
Those are the best parts. 
The universe is a changing place
But it is also very constant 
This provides hope
Because love cannot be created 
—It is just there;
Nor will it ever be destroyed.
I wonder of shooting stars 
Do they ever come back? 
Is it really —once in a lifetime?
My fleeting wonder
If the universe is true 
Please consider;
let me keep you

"If you live the sacred and despise the ordinary,
you are still bobbing in the ocean of delusion."
– Zen Master Lin-Chi (via nirvikalpa)

Well, this morning

I want to be real. I want to feel things that I once did. I want to feel things that I never have. I feel like a mere shell of who I used to be. I want to fill this shell with magic. Starting now
