dessert first
I only have one chakra:
a rose apple pie.
The other seven were all in my head.
They came from reading books
and hearing esoteric rumors.
They vanished when I
tasted myself
and gave up seeking.
I’m too caramelized
and sticky to have
a subtle body.
Sweet and sour cinnamon flesh
is all I am.
Meditate on my flavor, friend.
Let’s taste each other and forget
the higher dimensions.
Who knows how
the heart blossoms?
I’m just sure it’s made
with real butter.
On the tip of
a honey-gold stamen,
this world is just a pollen speck
in the flowering of Now.

be life is made up of that
melt-in-your-mouth lamb chop…
that amazing carrot cake…
the one made with apricots
and candied ginger…
loaded and dense with goodness
the one Im glad we shared…
(though I’d wished we each had a slice of our own
after my first bite of that goodness…)
living our highest life is definitely made with real butter
I’ve found my answers and balance
come from out of the blue…
oceans and sky…
the circle of the labyrinth
leading me safely in and out
even when I get confused on which way Im going
trusting the path leads me to where I need to go
to what I need to know
dolphins come to each of us,
though in different forms
trinity is a universality repeated pattern
our adventures connect us in real time
while we stand on opposite coasts, full smiling,
listening to the blue
eating all kinds of sweet things by the ocean

Thanksgiving is sweeter than bounty itself.
One who cherishes gratitude does not cling to the gift!
Thanksgiving is the true meat of God’s bounty;
the bounty is its shell,
For thanksgiving carries you to the hearth of the Beloved.
Abundance alone brings heedlessness, thanksgiving gives
birth to alertness.
The bounty of thanksgiving will satisfy and elevate you,
and you will bestow a hundred bounties in return.
Eat your fill of God’s delicacies,
and you will be freed from hunger and begging.
