Resounding Only Love

Only love, fellow humans,

only love...

Love that is radically real

is where we hold power to heal.

Gather to dissipate

the frequencies of hate,

and form a unity of vibration to uplift;

create a shift

in this broken nation.

Let's hold sacred space

with our breath and song

for the whole human race

where we all should belong.

May the breadth and height and depth of the gong

Resound Well for all a strong spirit song.

Let the singing bowls swell

and the breadth of the gong

cleanse and dispel

the fears that divide us,

tears deep inside us;

Come: transform the energy with me;

Become bearers of Love's highest frequency.

In This Forest, I Know

you're doing the best 

that you can.

You are a tree just like the rest of us 

reaching for light

maybe not reaching,                       

                        just gripping the soil

maybe not gripping,        

         uprooted instead

exposed to harsh winds, termites

and moss

trying your best to stay green,

to grow green,

to be seen.

We all are tender saplings
sipping rain
bending toward sundrips
to grow out of pain into leafiness.

We are vessels of the same water
in this same forest
together
under the Moonlight,
we are hardly distinguishable,
you and i
in our treeliness.

(inspired by Ram Dass, Zachary Helton, and the amazing trees everywhere I go)
