Regarding About Revealing...

Scott Smith

Regarding about revealing 

or hiding our inner world in life, 

the metaphor of holding our inner life, 

our Presence, 

like a baby comes to mind. 

This has been shared at other meetings 

and I find it so perfect. 

How our inner world must be protected 

and with us AT ALL TIMES. 

Like a mother holding her infant, 

she carries it with her at all times 

in whatever she is doing. 

And in doing this, 

it is always with us. 

I see no reason 

to IMPOSE the WORK on others. 

Hopefully, by our being and presence, 

it will come through.

And by doing that, 

our inner world is strong, 

stable, glowing. 

If others see that and are pierced, 

they will come to us with any questions.

The Glory And The Agony...

The glory and the agony 

of being human rousing us

entreating us to wake up!

To know that we who have no power

can be filled with power.

When we wake up to our transparent nature,

divine forgiveness shines through us.

When we forget our names,

we become part of God's name.

When we learn to act and yield, act and yield,

we smash the contradiction of existence.

I Am Sitting Outside...

 

I am sitting outside 

enjoying the gentle nature of the morning 

and the flow of energy surrounding me. 

The birds' joyful songs. 

Are we like those birds 

in the flow of nature? 

Singing our unique song 

that we students in the school can hear.

Be Patient ...

George Seurat

“Be patient 

toward all that is unsolved in your heart 

and try to love the questions themselves, 

like locked rooms 

and like books that are now written

in a very foreign tongue. 

Do not now seek the answers, 

which cannot be given you 

because you would not be able to live them. 

And the point is, 

to live everything. 

Live the questions now. 

Perhaps you will then gradually, 

without noticing it, 

live along some distant day into the answer.” 

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

I Was In A Board Meeting ...

 

I was in a board meeting 

and kept thinking 

"be the soul in the room". 

While I was dividing my attention 

I felt I was being guided 

and had the I 

to see who else was the soul in the room 

and was looking to meet 

the others there on a soul level. 

This was a new experience for me 

outside of an Academy meeting. 

It wasn't just enough 

to be present at the moment 

but with the higher 

I was searching for others to be with.
