The River Flows......

I have sat along rivers that run hard and wild
I have floated upon some calm and quiet ones
I have fished the transition places of stillness and movement
and still I wonder at the constancy of the Flow

There is no other place to be than right HERE
there is no other time to be than NOW
theses things we know
and know and know

And when it is complete in us
there is no longer any need to Know
for the Knowing is complete
and the embodiment is All inclusive

All that said, I sit right now in a place where the river has run firm and strong enough to stir up the silt, the waterlogged flushout from storms long ago, long settled deep in the river bed crooks and crannies. Elemental Water, always seeking its own level, always flowing to the Ocean; which refuese NO river, NO RIVER is refused by the Ocean.

Then what is it in 'me' that seems to feel refused, held back, not included?

The only thing that can have that view is that which is not True.

And how do I receive those sensations?

Through the senses of the body.

okay, so the body feels these things and then they are received and interpreted through comparative thinking in the brain/mind.

The body is the densest. yup.

And i am using the densest aspect of this physical life existence to interpret Life?

hmmm, thats like, uhm, going to a glacier and chipping the hardest ice to get a drink of water because i am thirsty....... not quite actual in the metaphor, but you get the idea?

Clearing is happening in this process.
Will I clear enough in this Lifetime to be of true Service?

So what if I dont know, but I feel like some point has been passed that requires some conscious awareness of 'place', 'activity', 'intention', 'focus'.

I remember years ago at a Lorena McKennet concert as she introduced her band, expressing her repect for their high talent, she referred to them as 'idling porsches'.

I feel like an idling Volkswagen!! eheheh, aircooled for sure (as evidenced by loving to sleep outside!)

This commentary is more a 'report' than coming to any conclusion. For those of you who have been following this Journey, and participating and contributing to it so richly, I send a BIG 'THANK YOU"!!! So it could be whole different report this afternoon after I replant the iris, hang the laundry, set up the Excel spreadsheet, eat some lunch, and continue to look for employment.

hmmm, I feel is minutely shifting already. See? this is why I say 'Thanks'! Knowing this is being shared, writing from here, humbled by what is required.......

Thank you.

Many Blessings,
Sunny

Bowing to THAT.....

As some of the photos reveal; One of Oregons best kept secrets is the brilliant Light and splendid colours of Fall. (shhhh dont tell anyone!!!!)

Thanks to those who let me know your following this Blog, this 'conversation' is fertilizer and fuel for us all! Deep gratitude for this form of communication and support.

How does one use words in a language that does not vibrate with the truth of this realm of Source/Love/God?
whew... more and more the question of how to express authentically this radiating ongoing waves of movement of essential resonating in this thing called a body.
Bare/Bear with me, here goes.....

As a lighthouse sits built strong on bedrock at the edge of the cliff radiating outward farther than it can ever know possible to communicate, to convey to any who need to know where the edges are, this body has been built on, and with Love. It radiates well. In the human travels there has been many choices made over the decades that retracted the intensity, that covered or shielded the Light (the 'why' seems unnecessary right now), the commitment and vow is to unveil and reveal.
With each conviction to the Court of Love another shield, cape, cloak, cover drops away. Each Wave that courses through here runs more free, like a well cleared creek bed, relieved of the congestion of decades of log jams, the waters run free and clear(er). Each wave clears the way for the next layer to be washed clean and clear. Relatively speaking I am about squeaky clean as i ever thought I could be!!! And immediately it is Known this is only the beginning, and there is no one here under these cloaks and capes and covers other than the Love that has been here all along.
The physical body, dense as it is, is catching up to this realization; Love washes through and I am in tears, spilling from my eyes with such a free fall to nearly match any of the beautiful waterfalls of Oregon Columbia Gorge! (When you come to visit, be sure to leave time for stopping at at least TWO of them!!!!)
I dont know anything any more. What a relief. And what is Known is the Presence. Here. Now. Always available every moment. Every Winters Wave of emotion given over complete. And this one, and now this one. Not even turning to name the emotion, or the story, the flotsam and jetsam of the life experience that brought it to the surface. The Waves wash. Over and over.
Simplified, stupified, cleansified, sweetified, purified, clarified.
over and over.
This Lighthouse is shining; whether or not there are any boats 'out there' needing the Light or not. I am built for this; to SHINE.
And so I do, and AM.
And, so it IS.

By golly, the Beatles were right;
Love is All there IS.

Love and Peace to the World,
Sunny

Arriving at the Threshold

I must admit I thought I had 'gotten' quite a bit,
the systems, the language, the inner states
All were available on my Spiritual Plate.
One thing had been forgotten,
perhaps was never known,
that arriving to the table
was to Begin the Unknown.

Never lacking an appetite
Always willing to graze
The Food of the Soul
Set my Heart a blaze!

Munching for hours on a delectable bite
could fill me with comfort for most of the night.
Absorbed as I was with this Hunt for the Truth
I held myself back by an sly inner Sleuth
Who seemed to think the hunt itself
was the goal and the path to realize ones Self

Appetizer and snack and side dish all gone
I had found myself hungry long before Dawn.
This mornings rising was more basic than bread
each cell washed clean through body and head.

The Main Meal is now cooked and I along with it
Nutritional balance in every ingredient
Nothing fancy or fine or rich or creamy
But guaranteed the best in any seekers dreamy
imaginings of growing up to the Light
And finding Yourself right there the Whole Time!!

Poetry is stumbly no matter how stated
This persistence of looking is now sated
Nothing is there that wasnt before
And nothing is here that came through the door!

Washed clean, and fed, cozy and warm
I welcome this Heart that I have always worn
I hum a sweet tune with familiar refrain
Sweet dreams to us all again and again

Keep it simple keep it soft
Keep your Light ON high aloft
Breathe it into your weary hard working mind
Breathe it into the World time after time

Now you see it, Now you see
no matter whats been said or done
Get the jist and the habit
of Your Light Shining with Fun

No reason not to embrace deeply
This song of your Heart
and sing it so sweetly
that your weariness melts
and your cares all dissolve
Try it some more and you will evolve.

The Secret is this,
that when we reside
in the Flow of the Love that is always inside
Our systems, our owies,
our narrow minds view
is all melted away
to reveal.......
Yup
the Real You!!!!!

I feel silly tonight. Lighthearted and soft.
Something has been realigned in me
(wiht a LOT of help from my Friends!!)
Peeling away layers of old self decorating, like removing layers and layers of old wallpaper. layer after layer , softened with steam, and prodding, and gentle firmness. I am peeling away.
Nothing is being Lost. Nothing at all. Something though is being found as the layers fall away... that something is a tone I remember *hearing* as a child and a young adult, and moments since then, moments when my Soul would visit.
For some folks who are reading this, I know I am 'catching up' to where you've been for quite some time, for others I am the Canary in the Coal mine- going in and seeing if I live. Whatever it is for you as you read this, I want to lean over and gently whisper in your ear,
"Every time you breathe, you breathe nothing less than God/Source (call it what you need to), and the sweetest thing right now is to give it to your body, bathe your nervous system with it, then breathe it our and bathe everyone else in it. We cant breathe 'wrong'!! (can we??!!?)
Give the gift of breath, to your self, to those around you, to every moment you feel perturbed, or tired, or cranky, or joyous, or content, or happy, or scared. Take a Breath Bath!!! Soak in it!!!
Keep it simple; Breathe.
Know I send Love.
And a gentle hand, All Ways.

Sunny

Bathing in the Flow

THIS
Sweet Simplicity of Oneness
No theory, no philosophy or ideal
THIS is tangible Presence
The All Flowing
Bathing every cell to Solution
Transforming, Trans- forming
Forming to the Formless
THis is not talk of some teaching
this is not speaking of some known
esoteric understanding
THIS is what I AM
THIS
