The light is dawning.  It's coming with or without you or me.  I welcome this great light and commit myself to assist in its burgeoning and powerful expansion in creative and loving ways.  This space is dedicated to all who desire the same, not as a wish, but as the truth of daily life.  To do so, we must welcome the light within, expand it, stabilize it in deep meditation and draw from its creative benevolent source through contemplation, articulation and action.

Be Astonished

There is a gap between what is and what might be. Creativity, the creative act, is the universal human need to bridge that gap say the experts.

For some that gap is so large that the imagination cannot begin to conjure a bridge of any sort let alone one that carries the self forward.

The fundamental human urge to create holds infinite possibility. Nourish the soil. Be astonished at what blossoms even as you meet the challenge of tending.  Love, found in the heart of each being, is the fertilizer that feeds the soil. This is why I meditate. To nourish myself, to have access to that nourishment and share it in whatever manner each meeting of person, place or thing allows; to be astonished, camatkāra, at what is manifested.  The infinite creativity of consciousness writ large exists in each one.


From the perspective of knowledge and experience there is also a gap.  A gap between what we intuit, feel, experience in the deepest part of ourselves and what the mind can grasp and understand.  This is also why I meditate.  I long to bridge that gap, to possess the power to share the intimacy of that experience as an offering to the world in all I do.  Can you imagine what that might look like? To infuse each thing you do in the power of love? I spend some part of each day, twice a day steeping in it. 

Love is not visible and yet we continually seek to possess it.  Love does exist in tangible form as beauty, as object of affection. This may bring joy or misery but is dependent on relationship with other.  Regardless, it will morph, it will end, as all on the surface does. This ending does not diminish our desire to know love in life, only to be more skillful at welcoming and engaging.  The potent, endless source of love is within.  
Know your deepest self, build a bridge between what is and what might be.  

Be astonished.  Meditate.
