The Parable of Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson,
about a battle that goes on inside all people.

He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves,
that dwell inside each and everyone us.

“One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, Love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute,
and then asked his grandfather:

“Which wolf will win ?”

The old Cherokee simply replied:
“The one you feed.”XX

Cloud-Hidden

This chapter is closed now,
not one word more
until we meet some day
and the voices rising
to the window
take wing and fly.

Open the old casement
to the lands we have forgotten,
look to the mountains and ridgeways
and the steep valleys, quilted by green,
here, as the last words fall away,
the great and silent rivers of life
are flowing into the oceans,
and on a day like any other
they will carry you again,
abandoned,
on the currents you have fought,
to the place where you did not know
you belonged.

And just as you came into life
surprised
you go out again,
lifted,
cloud-hidden
from one unknown
to another
and fall and turn
and appear again in the mountains

not remembering
how in the beginning
you refused
to join,
could not speak of,
did not even know
you were that
deep
calm
welling
almost forgotten
spring
of eternal presence.

What I Don’t Know

The Size of This Universe
represents
what I don’t know Beloved!

Hard to Believe
that truth
was the one that
opened me up to
the wonder of a child.

Better yet a blown away adult
to appreciate the punch line
of that eternal joke.

A cool breeze it
was across the perspiring face
of the human knot
I’ve been.

A tight mind
wrapped around my
knowledge, learning,
thinking, viewpoints,
and preferences
like an overprotective mother
or
better yet
a jealous lover.

Prying,
poking,
irritating,
judging,
wrestling,
arguing,
defending,
tumbling down the hill
like two boys
testing their manhood
in our neighborhood show down.

me vs. you
me vs. me

my knowledge
vs.
your exquisite
ever changing
textures
of nowness.

You had to prove it
to me.

Finally a crack opens,
your light enters
my mind realizes
the lies I have believed
even worse those
I’ve told myself.

To find
the ecstasy,
the sensual,
and
the daily ordinariness
of 1001 openings
that live in the texture
of sight,
touch,
taste,
smell,
sound,
all beyond what
I can store in
this mind
and infinitely
more real.

Dear Beloved,

We have such a short breath of life is this world.
So little time, really so little time.
It seems so sad how we often squander it,
as if it were in limitless supply.
And so often we leave things unsaid,
that should be spoken outright.

In this season of thanksgiving,  I wanted you to know that
I appreciate You, and I am eternally thankful for You.
We all are touch deprived and even more so, are we Love deprived.

I wanted You to know how important You are to me,
and how I find You and so very few others
are so very special and so few and far between.
It is such a rarity and scarcity to find those who truly choose to Love.

Loreena McKennitt says this in song, so very well…

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We’ll rise above these earthly cares

May you find abundant Love and endless blessings on your journey,
Always,
Taylor

This offering is somewhat different (in an effort to not get in a rut) while at the same time
trying to bring forward diverse ways of delivering the messages of Love.

Hopefully some of these various items make us think, bring is closer together, and give
us hope in the eternal harmony of Love.

This is a Love song with something for everyone. 🙂

Love is all around you,
Love is knocking outside your door…
