this is a love story
through which we awaken
Thou the dead bird
and Thou the living toad in a human hand;
Thou the petroglyph and stone;
Thou the bridge that leads only to the self.
Thou the family...
and all worlds have their beginning, being, and ending in Thee. —after the Shvetashvatara Upanishad 4.4
How?
Show us the path that says, “Stand up, get going, do it!”
Which resurrects us from the slumber of the drugged
and leads to the consummation of heart’s desire,
like all the stars and galaxies in tune, in time, straight on.—Douglas-Klotz
How?
Enough
The mantra continues in our pulse,
in the language-less prayer of the earth,
and in the soundscapes of meditation mirrored in the track “Fortitude” by the band Gojira,
which evokes traditional Tibetan Buddhist chants. Immerse through
the official Gojira YouTube channel.
Nothing

“Love Said to Me” and “Slave of the Moon”)

Śaraṇāgati
Enchantment
Where is your Self to be found?
Always in the deepest enchantment you have experienced.—von Hofmannsthal
May Śaraṇāgati continue teaching you
the beauty of return.
May Enchantment continue teaching you
the beauty of what is being returned to.
God as Blackbird
God said, “I am made whole by your life.
Each soul, each soul completes me.” —Hafiz
We are, as everything is,
always and without condition
the highest deepest Truth.
And still, it matters that we choose kindness,
that we choose awareness, presence, participation…
तत् त्वम् असि
You Are That
—Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7
