Playing with Oneness (more Sunday morning meditation) Written by Diane 2012

 I.

All is one

and One is all;

Not for a ball-team,

But a ball!

Fun is what you make of it;

Bliss is even better.

As one in All,

      all is One.

      Oh what fun!

      (happiness in the sun).

II.

The laughter and the tears

Melt into the years

And become

     One.

III.

The Oneness-of-all-things

is no less

than more

(more-or-less)

and no more

than one

is All.

IV.

“Playing with the One,

       no less!”, says Americ,

              my loved-one.

New World

Feel the wind in your hair.

Smell the salt of the sea.

Hear the lapping of waves on the hull.

Watch the new shapes emerge on the horizon.

Taste the freedom of moving forward.

Beautiful future lies ahead. 

Just Be

It's been said that: This is the best of all possible worlds! Why? A non-existent possible world is just a dream, an illusion. My self and your self are both "self" seen from different directions. Parmenides, the Presocratic philosopher, showed us that whatever is just is - and cannot not be. Can't be anything but what it is. BEING IS unchanging, eternal. So relax. Just be.

Universe Speaking

The Universe is always

speaking to us

from the scintillating stars

to the heartbeat

in our chests. 

Ocean of Life

Sometimes I feel the ocean of life

Kicked around by waves of feeling and thought 

Such moments seem endless

Reality sets in - endless moments abruptly end 

There we sat, stun surprised

Without Beginning or End

WITHOUT BEGINNING OR END

Chuang Tzu

The Way is without beginning or end      

All things have their life and death          

Hence, you cannot rely upon them for fulfillment

One moment is empty

The next moment full    

Hence, you cannot depend upon their form         

The years cannot be restrained  

Time cannot be stopped            

Decay

Growth

Fullness

Emptiness        

All end and then begin again

This is the understanding of the Great Meaning
And the principles of The Ten Thousand Strings
