We are taught to value money as though it may be used as a weapon – rather than afford us opportunities and essentials.

We are taught to value time as though it may be used as an armoury – rather than a play space with magical enterprise-ability.

We are taught to value illness as though it may be used as an attention-seeking-device – rather than an opportunity to turn something into well-being.

Until when?

We are taught to be grateful for what we are about to receive – rather than for what we already have.

We are taught to be grateful for what we are given – rather than for what we already give.

We are taught to be grateful for what we may receive – rather than for what we already vibrate.

Until when?

We are taught to be crazy about things that don’t compute – rather than assess what’s 0 or 1 and leave the rest as fallacy.

We are taught to be lunatic about lives that don’t sustain themselves – rather than stick to what’s 0 or 1 and laugh at the rest.

We are taught to be dishonest about things that do not matter – rather than put ourselves on the line and let 0 or 1 be our instrument of guidance.

Until when?

Now has an emotion, can you feel it?

Now has an expression, can you dance it?

Now has an expiry, can you pass it on?

Now has no tomorrow, can you dig it?

Now has no yesterday, can you clock it?

Now has no idiocy, can you rock it?

Now has no bureaucracy, can you move beyond it?

Now has no officialdom, can you move over it?

Now has no complication, can you open up into it?

We are here now

gathered together

in holy communion

without anyone telling us what to do or how to do it

We are here now

gathering each other up

in our arms

like the long lost siblings we are

We are here now

gathering every direction into one

that knows only love

as its way

So hip hooray

skip work, just play

there’s nothing to do when you’re who you really are

the now takes care of that

It’s a different way of life

Being assured of being present

It’s a novel way to be

Being practiced in zen like a mastery

It’s a sustainable way of living

Cutting out the superfluous

and keeping one’s gold gold

It’s a radiant way of living

quitting the drains and drags,

the commotions and the brags

It’s a fun way of living

stopping the gun from going off in your head

It’s a fabulous way of learning

just as nature intended

No books, no crooks

No spells, no hells

No cursing, no nursing

No spitting, no spatting

Just living in harmony

With oneself

like a peaceful diamond

with nothing to do

but shine and be itself
