What’s to fear in a poet?

What’s to fear in a poet?

We do not have to look for our weaknesses

We don't have to look for our weaknesses
     Or the limits in our way of seeing the world
We can just turn our eyes
     Toward us
Already
What good we create! 
     What beauty we see!
     What new truths we embrace!
Together

the facilitator does not open space

The sponsor, the facilitator, does not open space
Nor was it there all along for us to walk into
Each poster, each word, each ear, each heart creates the space open

All things are reflections of all others

All things are reflections of all others
mirrors who cannot see their own reflections
babies are drawn to babies
puppies to puppies
maybe even water on the hills to water in the sea
look deeply enough—are we afraid?—and we see wherever we look all there is
not just the jewels on Indra’s net
all reflect all

The world out there
is not

As solid as
you think

Changing as much as
you think

Much of the world out there
you think

So keep reminding yourself
the world out there
is not

gives us what comes next

interplay
of mind and matter
gives us space,
time, and causality
so interplay of minds,
hearts, and wills—spirit—
gives us what comes next

The spiraling of these

heart—beauty—compassionate—us—invite
mind—truth—reflect—poetry—imagine
hand—goodness—create—whole-making—engage
The spiraling of these is called spirit
