.excerpt from the Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
That which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined.Is it not your breath that has erected and hardened the structure of your bones ?And is it not a dream which none of you remember having dreamt, that builded your city and fashioned all there is ?Could you but see the tides of that breath you would cease to see all else,And if you could hear the whispering of the dream you would here no other sound.But you do not see, nor do you hear, and it is well.The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hand that wove it,And the clay that fills your ears shall be pierced by those fingers that kneaded it. And you shall see,And you shall hear.Yet you shall not deplore having known blindness, nor regret having been deaf.For in the days you shall know the hidden purpose in all things,And you shall bless the darkness as you would bless the light... The prophet..

higher intelligence
who turned the sky over ?like a cup above usgrey tea-leavescommentary on this poem. This morning the sky was blue and sun was out,but later when I sat down with a cup of tea in my hand to write a poem.The sky had turned grey.So the question of nature and changing weather and cycle of nature and a greater life-force whirled around my head and obviously the tea cup and tea leaves is a metaphor for grey skies and imminent rain.

EARTH SCHOOL
BE A STUDENTEvery morning when you wake up,remind yourself that you are a student in the Earth school,and that everything that happens this day is to help you learn. Every night go over all the things that happened in school.Did you remember that you were in school? How often did you remember?what classes did you attend today?(Anger,joy,jealousy,sorrow,etc.) The Guest HouseThis being human is a guest house.Every morning a new arrival.A joy,depression,a meanness,some momentary awareness comesas an unexpected visitor.Welcome and entertain them all!Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,who violoently sweep your houseEmpty of it's furniture,Still,treat each guest honorably.He may be clearing you outfor some new delight.The dark thought,the shame,the malice,meet them at the door laughing,and invite them in.Be grateful for whoever comes,because each has been sentas a guide from beyond. __Rumi

Getting to the treasure within
THE PICKAXETear down this house.A hundred thousand new housescan be built from the transparent yellow carnelianburied beneath it,and the only way to get to thatis to do the work of demolishing and thendigging under the foundations. With that valuein hand all the new construction will be donewithout effort.And anyway,sooner or later this housewill fall on it's own.The jewel treasure will beuncovered,but it won't be yours then. The buriedwealth is your pay for doing the demolition,the pick and shovel work. If you wait and just let it happen,you'd bite your hand and say,"I didn't do as I should have".This is a rented house.You don't own the deed.You have a lease,and you've set up a little shop,where you barely make a living sewing patcheson torn clothing.Yet only a few feet underneathare two veins,pure red and bright gold carnelian.Quick! Take the pickaxe and pry the foundation.You've got to quit this seamstress work.What does the patch sewing mean,you ask.Eating and drinking.The heavy cloak of the bodyis always getting torn.You patch it with food,and other restless ego-satisfactions.Rip upone board from the shop floor and look into the basement.You'll see two glints in the dirt. --RumiSome commentary on getting to the treasure beneath the foundation.(going within)..The pickaxe for Rumi represents whatever does this fierce attention-work:clear desernment ,a teachers presence,simple strength,and honesty with oneself.The pickaxe desmantles the illusory personality and finds two glints in the dirt.Like eyes they are,but not personal.Rumi points to a "treasure within our lives" unconnected to experience.It is intinsic,beyond calculation,a given,reached after ego is cleared away and one pointedness digs under the premisis (within-inside)) This is such a beautiful poem,if you will,it speaks of our inner beauty and true nature,also reminding us of temporary and illusory world of ego and mind,and the urgency and importance to find the priceless jewel within-inside of us.By removing the dirt and dust to uncover a priceless gift that brings a profound joy and happiness. __ Tosh

Happy chinese New Year!
At home we have a "moon calendar" and it shows all the valious stages of the moon cycle.It's great for planning as when there are plans to be made or projects to start or just about any occasion,we can easily check the moon stages,ie..it's always good to begin new things on a new moon,the energy is high from that point up till the full-moon which is the stage of completing projects or whatever,after the full-moon then we can enjoy the results and recuperate for the next new moon..Do you what we call these two stages in english? "wax" and "wane" wax is when the moon increases in size,and wane then to decrease. Here are the words to one of my favourite songs. Title is called, "Without Your Love"Where would I beAnd how could I seeI'd be an ocean without waterA flower without sunA poet without feelingA singer without a songWhere would I beAnd how could I seeI'd be a journey without meaningA story without an endA heart that's always broken A man with out a friendWhere would I beAnd how could I see Without your Love

Waku-waku list
Today is the official first day of spring,but of course still very much cold and wintery.This winter we decided to try and go through winter not using gas heater or air-conditioning heat.Main reason for this is avoid colds and flu by keeping warm naturally,eg,blanket and warm clothing,although we do use a small electric panel,like a portable open kotatsu,it keeps our legs warm when sitting.So far our health has been wonderful with just a few sneezes here and there.Now it's February and already we are busy fulfilling and working on our business and life work.Earlier on at the beginning of the year we made a WAKU-WAKU list ,the contents of which were our goals and plans to achieve this year which will continue beyond 2005 .We feel no pressure to accomplish everything this year ,but of course we want to see curtain achievements and promises completed.But mainly to enjoy our life and the process of growing and learning each step of the way. My wonderful partner in life is Koti,and everyday she inspires me by her dedication and tireless effort towards everything she does.If she has an appointment with a client for counselling she gives her all-%100,and really enjoys helping people and networking with others and really understand the meaning of -giving and therfore she recieves a lot in her life.Some of the people whom we meet and are interested in our "Earth School" and wanting to share and understand their own vision more clearly.They are willing to learn and grow.Listening is a big part of trying to understand others,but sometimes there are those who just want to talk about themselves and mainly their problems and confusions,but never really wanting to find a solution and to actually do something about thier situation.We are all in that catagory i guess,but some more deeply rooted in thier problems.You see we have to surrender and let go of these problems that just don't help to serve us anymore.Often we put blame on everything on the outside in our life..Job-family people boyfriend -girlfriend etc.. but we fail to put ourselves in the picture and see that we are generating all this ill feeling towards others,which basically is about ourself and the way we perceive and feel about ourselves.We must be prepared and willing to commit ourselves to growth and that is why Koti and i made this waku-waku list,and we will make one every year as commitment will always be necessary as long as we are alive.This life-force,this breath is commited to us,so we give back a fraction of what has been given to us in the way of having this life,this chance in this Earth school to grow and discover more and more,but most impotantly to discover or should i say un-cover what laying within-inside of us ,this miracle taking place within the human heart and the gratitude for having this opportunity,to be here on this earth participating in life.I would rather be a willing participant and to learn the lessons well,and each step can be an accomplishment that brings untold rewards,and after all the riches of life come from the heart..

weep with one eye
"to weep with one eye" (Zen buddhist-like expression) Weeping with one eye does not mean that the suffering or vulnerability should be halfhearted but only that one shouldn't be damaged by it.The expression points to the distinction between EMPATHY and SYMPATHY.Empathy ,the capacity to feel and to some degree to take on another persons pain,is always a virture.Sympathy,on the other hand,is more like a symbiosis,or a total identification with the other persons pain. from a road less traveled..
