They’re All Agreed
They’re all agreed –
It’s very, very quiet there.
Up or out or maybe in
A space so hidden
That it is a twin
To so-called outer space
Where it is very, very quiet
In the place where
It is all created:
All the synchronistic sequences
That take the meaning
Out of chaos.
I read that they ‘re all agreed,
And I’m afraid
A little,
Which just shows that I’m not ready.

Saving Me From Myself
I pray for this, I pray for that
And wonder why I never get
Or haven’t got
The goals I set.
Suddenly in one great burst
One leap,
Gone is the thirst
And I feel cheap,
See the task before my eyes –
It’s just to bask, not analyze.
I’m getting everything I need,
The rest irrelevant indeed,
And full of greed and ignorance,
Requests of inborn arrogance,
Destructive if un-timed.
Instead I should be thanking It
For waiting until I’ve been primed
For It, and saving me
From everything
Unscheduled my self.

in 1994, 2016, the processes creative thinking meditative, the processes II, to the child mystic, to the child mystic II Tags: Love this one. Just found it after all these years when mindfulness in on everyone's lips.
Watch the mind, it’s really quirky.
Let it go and watch it work,
For when you see what it creates
(I don’t see how ‘cause that’s a secret:
‘How’ and ‘why’ the hidden states),
You may discover what a neat trick
To stand back, let go and watch.
Letting go, a chance to snatch
At fantasy creative:
Courage by encouragement.
Fantasy invents by fancy
Giving order to what’s left.
Creativity can steal from nature’s bank
And it’s not theft,
The dancing arts all mind expanding –
Honey way to jar the door
Of quintessential being –
Just by watching what goes on
And doing what needs to be done.

in 2007, 2016, definitely didactic, nature of & in reality, to the child mystic, to the child mystic II Tags: Don't expect to be understood by everyone you meet. Everyone meets you and interprets you one´his or her own level.
They say it all –
Each on his level
To his level.
Coming out each second –
Truths
To ears and eyes
Meant for/attracted to…
Exactly right
For the occasion,
Creatures ready find themselves
There listening, hearing, doing
At their level
Drawn to taste
By not one wasted atom.
Laws in action
Never ceasing,
Always acting,
Causing acting,
Causing end without a single motor.
It on every level
Reaching those who listen out of needs
Wholly intangible.
Prophets must be the most boring
In the world,
Pushing forward,
Never knowing when to stop.
Then, according to the law
We’re prophets all – to someone.

in 1995, 2005, a sense of the ridiculous, God book, to the child mystic Tags: God loves a good joke. He made them all., I really like this one, Our words are illusion
Covering The Arguments
What does it do
To the personal you
If I blaspheme or blast off?
Do you think that God minds,
Is insulted by minds that are blind?
God is bigger than that.
He laughs at the ill-behaved brat
‘Cause He loves a good joke.
He loves the whole earth
While he waits for us patiently birth after birth.
He’s such a nice bloke
You can talk to Him any which way that you feel:
Feeling is only like smoke.

in 2004, birth death & in between, God book, the processes creative thinking meditative, to the child mystic Tags: a nothing-I and no-thing You, I especially like this one
Existence Process In The Head
I’m either,
Thinking about things to do,
Things I miss,
Things I’m short of,
Things I want,
Or things to do with people,
Duties,
Gossip,
Guilt-trips –
Then I’m bored:
Vacuous or restless.
It leads normally to God,
Existence,
Non-existence;
Finally, to giving in
And up.
I am a nothing something:
Helpless, frail.
Then I pray
A giant nothing prayer.
There’s nothing there
Except a nothing-I and no-thing You.
Then it’s through
Until the next time.

in 2001, God book, to the child mystic Tags: God has a certain way of looking at things, God loves everything., He loves it all.
From A God’s-Eye Point Of View
From a God’s-eye point of view
I watch and see
And make no judgment –
Nothing that would damn.
It’s all a blessing:
Schemer, cheat:
The energy.
The sheep who bleat within the arts
Without the talent in their parts:
The energy.
I love it all.
I watch them climb.
I watch them fall —
I even love the climber’s fall.
To hear a singer who can’t sing,
Attempt to sing;
A politick that doesn’t tick,
Can never tick –
The politician’s game and trick;
The planetary shift of coin
From poor to rich, from rich to poor;
I join the stitch that joins the poor.
The amateur, professional;
The sad, bad, glad mad, fad attempts
That link it all –
I like it all.
It gets my whole approval.
Not the quality or quantity,
But energy; the haul,
The long haul and beyond.
We’re bonded.
All the actors, all the acts,
All the tactless, misjudged pacts;
We’re glued,
When viewed
From God’s objective eye.

in 1997, circling round nature, to the child mystic Tags: creative nothing-doing, creative-nothingness
If You Think I’m Doing Nothing
We were talking about people who have no idea,
And cannot fathom
What it is to pepper days
With standing doing nothing.
Standing doing nothing
Makes the land a dukedom,
House an ashram,
World a kingdom
And unwelcome are the critics
Of this land of nothing-doing
In a nothing that’s creative.
There’s a haven of content.
All gets done. The rent
Is paid, meals cooked from what’s around,
The house gets built
Without an architect’s hired blueprint-ground.
Every stilt
Is purposeful and dutiful,
A tool of art and beauty.
Plus, there’s time
Where time’s the paradigm
Of artless paradise on earth.
Time that’s good. Time that’s worthy.
If you think I’m doing nothing
When I’m standing, you’re a fool.
It is standing, doing not a thing
That is my basic tool.*
*From a conversation I had with a farmer who said,
“If they think I’m doing nothing, they’re idiots!”

in 1992, circling round nature, small stories book, to the child mystic Tags: a mystic's experience
A Memory I’d Almost Forgotten
Out cycling when it starts to rain;
The day is warm and so is it.
You know how ideas light the brain –
I cycle hard and then it’s ‘lit’:
The me’s inside – I can’t get wet!
I am distinctly warm and high.
The key thought is: I feel all-dry!
I felt the dryness. I was tucked up
Deep within, my guide completely
Conscious of the rain I bucked;
Protective skin that, like a sheet, let nothing in:
An oilcloth but oodles thinner.
If I’d been awash at sea,
There’s nothing could have wet that me.
Nothing could have threatened either.
At that hour security
Was mine.

in 1995, 2013, circling round science, nature of & in reality, to the child mystic Tags: the mysterious science of faith
Faith Is A Chemical Dynamic
Faith is a chemical dynamic
Affecting cells, making them fresh:
(The celestial and flesh)
Not a dogma, cant –
More pledge, a pact;
The brain engrained in wish and want
With roots spread out in waiting
For a door to open wide,
And you a bride inside.
Faith sanctifies.
It unifies.
It systematizes without system,
Sees the thread in things uncommon,
Making fractions into one:
It always gives an added power,
Energy beyond the hour;
Puts a slant on everything,
(Which is its strength and shortcoming.)
You never go beyond its vision,
Never get beyond its zone.
No clever man or master plan
Or great endeavor pulls the lever.
In itself a friendly law,
It is specific to your wishes.
Faith is bound by its tradition.
Nothing great can be erected,
Nothing lasting be affected.
Leave the hills, reach for the stars:
Faith is chemically dynamic.
