An Echo of the Sixties




The vibration of the Third Eye Chakra
gave a shimmering orange neon edge
     to the Reality of
     the quiet hill.

The jackpines meditated,
     and focussed
on the gentle sigh of their breathing;
the South Wind whispering
     tropical secrets
          of moonlight romance.

The shadows skipped
               forward
          and
      back,
as though we were stuck
     in a time loop:
an Escher mobiĆ¼s strip
     of Eternity.

Truth beckoned,
just an illusion away,
as Cosmic meaning
was revealed.

     This.

     Now.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
