A drink of water is the lesson.
A thousand lives exist between here and the floor.
Feel it.
Hear it.
Allow the low hum to set you free.
The hum you create.
Feel. Feel. Feel.
Swing the rope.
Bend the branch.
Hand to face.
Wind to hair.
Hold nothing back from yourself.
No slack in the guidelines
No fault in the leylines
Points of focus
Beetle big
The sun lopes over the hill touching all meant to receive light
Rain begins in the heart to cool the stream
Ring upon golden ring of interlocking reality
Interlopers.
Frog calls.
Bulrush along the still pool
Dipping in, a willow maintains relationship with every element
Water feeds it.
Wind moves it.
Earth is it.
Fire drives it.
Aether holds it.
Present
Eternally so.
In contact with nothing.
a peace water bliss trick
a joyous delay of urgent contemplation
now arises the moment of change
strands of old beads take new life
long dormant, dusted sedge chains of understanding are lifted from perfumed boxes
into the morning light.
Wake
Begin.
Now dawns this.
Freed fruit from the stem.

Life is way better off the computer.
Its way cooler to be watching and doing and feeling.
Boredom is a conditioned response.
We learn from ourselves from watching the world around us how to be inside of ourselves. Much is transmitted silently and in our modern devotion to language over feeling we’ve forgotten how large the waves that emanate off us are. We speak. And that is that!
Woah. wild huh? even now as i write to you and to me, im contracting my experience to what I can communicate in this medium, for this purpose.
beetle big points of focus to interpert the whole mound.
How can I begin to consider the wider world without me in the way? I’m now undertaking practices to try.
To try to get past language. Hide myself from the Jelly Jar.
Scare the me of a moment ago with how i am now.
Raw silk and uncut wood requires no effort from man.
only nature moving as it will.
Realistically it means long periods where the change is so imperceptible I forget. And i get tied up. I forget how to breathe, and i forget how to hear. Then as overnight snow blankets all in newness, I can return.
Not by any twisting and wringing of my hands, but by patience and love and communion.
I’ve stopped trying to plan more than just a few hours out. This period of life that im in right now feels like I’m weathervane on top of an old barn.
I couldnt hold any other direction but the wind’s if I tried.
More and more I let go. Recently returned to a top tier favorite earth rocking poem first shared with my by a dear teacher who knows my heart- its called Bismillah. If youre a long time Sacred Scroll reader you’ve seen it many times- a line in it hits different right now
“Abraham learned how the sun and moon and the stars all set.
He said, No longer will I try to assign partners for God.”
The wisest being recognized that they had no control over how the world and stars moved, so they stopped trying to co-opt the movement.
You give up to grace.
Theres no manipulating any thing of consequence.
We can’t figure out how the pyramids were made and they’re some of the biggest things made by human kind.

I’m off the grid for a few weeks at Burning Man, wrapping up work and emails and structure before I go.
While I’m there, I will go to the Temple with a paper listing the names of every single one of you on this list at the time I head out, and I will hold a moment for each of you, say some words for each of you and leave the list to be burned in an all consuming fire alongside thousands of others incantations, prayers, mourning, thanking, praise and supplications.
If you’d like to not be on that list please let me know- I respect you and do not want to include you against your wishes.
testing,
Bholenath
