It’s preferable not to burn bridges,
but some are best not crossed for awhile.
When viewed from a distance,
the traffic they carry
will tell whether the road ahead is safe.

There aint no ending of the line, no final point somewhere in time.
There’s just the stations on the way, sometimes we stop but we don’t stay.
And we’re all laying down the tracks, with our burdens on our backs.
Oh can you hear, can you hear her blow that misty morning horn?
There’s a railroad running through my soul
and a slow train coming…
For you. ©John Scott, 8 05 2014

The less one speaks, the more they say.
Somehow I knew those words meant I’d never see you again.
I guess we’re all headed “up North” someday.
Godspeed!

We’re born of the wind, clothed by the earth
and to each we must return.
The sun will shine, the grass will grow
and the valleys in their quiet solitude
whisper our memories
in the hearts of those who stay behind.
Listen…
The dead are everywhere,
but who among us is living?

“While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and time demands its toll”.

How sweet the flute that softly whispers
unto the Guardian of the night,
who holds the Keys unto the Kingdom,
who is the Sentinel of Light.
For there by mighty steeds – a chariot,
the Pipers Golden Gates are drawn.
Ah, how the night reveals her mystery,
Come the Dawn.

Lay my body down
for a thorny crown
won’t you hurry me the dawn?.
In the desert waste,
in this barren place
where our promises were born.
.
Where the wind may blow
we may never know,
set adrift the sands of time.
When the ravens come
the deed will be undone
and you will carry on the line.
.
She’s a desert rose, she’s a desert rose
a chord the sistrum played for me.
She’s a desert rose, yes a desert rose
and love has finally set me free.

To experience the Father
is to open yourself to All
To hear HIS voice in the song of birds
to feel HIS touch in the gentle breeze.
HIS simple splendor exists in every blade of grass
and every grain of sand.
HE is the glory of the rising and setting Sun
and HIS presence is in every breath
and every step.
HIS infinite gaze lies in the eyes of every living creature;
In the courage of a mother’s heart
In the collective soul of creation.
HE is All
in every fragment
Known and unknown
Without and Within
HE IS
as I AM
in You

Always keep in mind the goal,
but right now,
right now,
there is no future,
only this moment,
only this step…
In complete presence,
stillness of mind,
there’s a simple joy,
a Perfect Peace.
This test,
this trial
is all just the clinging of the mind
to the flesh’s fear of freedom.
Soon enough, we will have passed the shadow of the mountain.

”Why should I fear death?
If I am, death is not.
If death is, I am not.
Why should I fear that which can only be when I am not?”

The horizon of the mind is vast and free. It has many dawns and sunsets, many valleys and vistas, but only the brave will near its mystery, only the young will know its heart.
Free yourself of restricting views, 2nd hand ideas and inherited concepts which have been passed down to you. Delete the unwanted, the conflicting, the dividing, the uncaring disguised, the mechanical, the traditional, the cold reasoning mind of society that demands you cut out your heart & lay waste to your dreams for a productive life.
Explore your heart, explore your mind & the places of mental discomfort where high walls were built to keep you in. There in the lands of the forbidden where so few travel, remove your shoes and touch the earth. There you will find the Path to freedom and see the stars for the very first time.
Allow Truth to reveal itself to you. Allow it in as a guest and it will stay as a companion. Never again will you be alone.
Let go, let go, and this world will become an open road, rather than the extravagant cell which was so carefully prepared for you.

STOP FOR A MOMENT. JUST STOP!
Stop your mind, stop your thoughts, stop your issues.
Sometimes the networks of the mind become tangled on the highways of thought & life’s sacredness is blurred.
The world is filled with magic but it doesn’t come to those who look for it. The mystery & wonder of it all is not an external condition but an internal one. We can only experience it in the stillness of Being, in the present moment, and every experience holds a sacred value.
Never allow the past or the future to blind you to the light that exist between and within us all.
Keep your eyes, your ears and your heart open at all times.
Remember, you are a child of the universe just like every other

Of thoughts
And words
And dreams,
In moments precious weaved,
That slip the loom of time…
I will never be here again.
