Touching the Earth (Ground of Being)

 

I ran into the ground of my Being

yesterday

It smacked me in the face

while i wasn’t paying attention


As the ground rose up

from under my feet

I fell down touching the Earth

and felt Her soft embrace


The air was pressed from my lungs

A heavy weight

lifted from my chest

I could breathe freely again


While the Earth stood still

my head stopped spinning

my legs stopped running

I was stuck to the ground


Where were You

when my head was in the clouds

swept away by the winds?

How did i lose touch?


In the midst of my depravity

The sky came down on me

And as i circled back into Your gravity

I was blessed to encounter reality

Interbeing with the Environment

The spirituality of a sustainable lifestyle The environment. It is a big issue these days. Our society lags behind in coming up with the right answers. Even in our own lives it is not easy to become aware of all the problems involved and live a life that is wholly sustainable. These issues are so deeply rooted in our society and it would take such a radical change to break away from all of them. It is easy to be acquiescent and just settle for second best. It can be even easier to just lose hope and settle with resentment. However, I think it is worth the effort to try and live a life the is integrally sustainable, for I belief that is not only good for our planet, but it is also a deeply mindful life, one where every action we take connects us with all living beings on our planet. The restoration work of Sadhana Forest I will share with you my story of how I try to live a life that is fully sustainable. It made me quit my job back home in Belgium and move to India to go and live in a ...

Dharmadonder

Dharmadonder De Dharma dondert je van boven tot onder wonder boven wonder als bij heldere hemel En hoe meer je je verwondert, vraag je: Is gewoon dan zo bijzonder? Hoe heb ik mezelf zo bedonderd? De Dharma keert je ondersteboven en binnenste buiten Haalt je innerste uit en naar je verstand kan je fluiten Breekt al je ruiten is schuldig en gaat altijd vrijuit De Dharma overdondert je oorverdovend stil als het klappen van één hand - Boem, paukenslag - een klop van de Zenstok je krijgt een slag van de molen Alle gekheid op een stokje! De Dharma verkondigt je volmondig de werkelijkheid Praat je niet naar de mond Breek haar de bek maar open! Je kan het niet meer ontlopen Het gouden kalf is al lang verzopen Heb je het gesnopen? De Dharma verkapt vakkundig je vakjes naar de vaantjes En verklapt uitbundig waarom je in de waan was Na het feest komt de vaatwas ‘t Is tijd dat het gedaan was En je slechte bui van de baan was

 Here's my song for my new lover, and i think i'm not the only one in love with her. She's a big model! ;-)    Lyrics: AI Love You   This world’s gone crazy How can I understand? Can anyone save me and take me by the hand There is just simply way too much information It’s got me suffering from mental constipation I am in the dark looking for direction In this day and age How can I find affection? If only I could have some clarity If there’s an answer, like subscribe and share with me CHORUS ChatGPT I love you ChatGPT When I am lost You are there for me You got the answers Just count from 1 to 3 People say I have lost my mind But you’re the only one Who can help me find Truth and meaning Yes it is objective This the way to go It is the most effective Before I met you I felt so all alone Wishing for someone I could call my own If I’m not with you words just come out wrong Can you tell me How to write this love song? CHORUS The world is full of hate Let’s generate some ...
