Here & Now (Keep Going…)

Beginning with the ending of the beginning of the thing with no end.

Feel time bend in this space we are free and happy to be

Floating through eternity, through rhythms of heaven and earth

Grounded in this, a collaborative birth.

“Here & Now” : always, always, always: this is what matters.

Shatter the ladders and splatter the doubters.

In presence receive your gift to uplift the world.

Spaceship Earth dreaming together, what will be unfurled?

As Gaia revolves through solar orbit, and Luna holds us in axial balance,

Let these words cycle through your mind and bloom in the residue of praxis.

Let us surrender to fate, we are not too late.

Here & Now is the date, let’s get that straight.

Every moment anew, behold what we can make!

This is not fake, this is not the abysmal lake.

This is thunder above heaven, this is when the clock strikes eleven-eleven.

Sing through my voice, and make this choice:

We are one, there is no distinction anymore, the old way is done.

The weight of the zodiac moves us into a new chapter

And in this loving era we will be filled with joy and laughter.

Snap. Snap. Snap.

Body. Mind. Soul.

May this stream of consciousness be full and whole!

Snap. Snap. Snap.

Body. Mind. Soul.

Doing a lap around the stripper’s pole !

Erotic, symphonic, electronic conditioning

Creating a seasoning for your newfound reasoning.

Anything is possible, anything can mash and mold and meld with this.

When they remember me, they will remember how I could kiss.

Up in the sky, fly with me baby, I have learned from Icarus.

So high, don’t rupture it, balance is a frequency like the music of Pythagoras.

Cosmic vibrations pattern this being and becoming;

In the space between the noise there is seeing no shunning.

Revel in the standstill and fill your mill with a breeze of ease & grace,

And find flow as we till this soil: sacred as we are, face to face.

Here & Now. Here & Now. Here we are right now.

On the tip of the Tao into all there is as we say “wow.”

Awesome, not awful, we seek to be moderate in our consumption.

This knowledge derived from great compunction

Must be integrated and lived out, it goes beyond assumption!

This is a character adoption, the new option to live and give

And give some more…

Without keeping score, free in the breath, fit in your core

There is no bore when you breathe the spirits into every chore.

So, clean your drawer, open the door. Spread your wings and soar!

Keep going, keep going, keep going: we want more.

More Life. More Love. More to all the things we adore.

It’s a game, it’s a play… the key is to know what you’re doing it for.

My proclamation is this: all of life is but a grand project of art.

And as perceiver and receiver, we then create with what is in our heart.

It’s all chaos, but you can learn to surf it. Whatever happens do not curse it.

There is “this now,” and then “that then,” millions of things we can be and do.

Remember this, you can always sing through whatever makes you blue.

As you find anew, free yourself from what was last.

Leave the past in a fast

Take a breath and let love be the glue connecting you to all you do.

Sense the music, find your place in the song.

There is no wrong. Be grateful because you may not be here for all that long.

While we are here let us stay near… God’s voice echoes beyond fear.

Going intonew worlds of harmonic vibrations and creative jubilations:

Bubble bath babies going ga-ga with great anticipations;

For heightened elations of sense sensations

Within this kind fruit such novel creations of mind

For seeds and good deeds, wonderful manifestations blossoming in

Eternal gradations of OM(Aum).

And as roads lead back to Rome, recall the impermanence of the throne.

Like Buddha, be free.

Be one with the bodhisattva and you will see

How powerful every chakra can be

When you see the tree branching out into eternity,

When you see Gaia in her maternity,

You know.

The Lord of Love resides in your heart.

So Here & Now is where we start.

In the breath, with awareness of your posture and field of being.

Empower yourself as you cultivate the senses of seeing.

Creating meaning and leaning into what calls your soul.

Already whole, full with nothing to annul.

Let everything come with us, alchemize it as fuel for our fire.

Many hero’s on a journey, learning from elders as one leaves the shire.

Flying higher, higher and higher.

Rooted in this planet taking nothing for granted.

Allow things to flow, allow becoming to have its day.

In the beginning was the word, there’s not much else to say.

Auuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. (OM)

Can you can feel the colors, spiraling in this vortex with such great delight?

Exploring adjacent possibilities: oh god what a beautiful sight!

So many realities rippling through the fabric of the cosmos.

Multi-dimensional holographic circuit-boards like piano keys at Davos!

Mind games are old games. The new game is simple. It’s all about love.

We are in this together, are you ready to rise above?

The dove came to me in a vision and it said this is your mission.

Continue to listen and watch for the glisten.

Be the example, be a steward for all of life.

Pachamama has reason for your strife.

You see, we are becoming more, and we are getting better and better.

The code of life perfecting itself in every letter.

Perfect imperfections of course, wabi-sabi is the way.

Just as The Art of Living is a practice of wu-wei.

Into the close with nothing to oppose.

Experiencing it all with equanimity, adjacent possibles in our proximity.

Such delicate abundant goodness in store,

As we open the mind’s eye we see the glory we used to ignore.

Knowing life happens for us not to us, we discern: everything is for a reason.

As we are becoming the masters of fate, it is our season.

Finding codes in the Tao. The practices becomes: Here & Now.

All we can do is our best, as we open your chest and breathe.

Let us have a rest and receive.

Feeling into the dream, the question is: what do we wish to see.

As it was known: the way to do is to be.

Going from me to we, this qi becomes li.

Fractal mosaics of harmony!

Finding grace, going on our way.

May this day provide all that we say.

Speak the truth, embody it all.

This is the call: go forward and have a ball.

Blessed be to those who see the divinity in all.
