Brahma Muhurta at Rsabdev's home

a dream before dawn

Syam and i awaken and move to the front room with large picture windows
overlooking a pastoralgarden like view with a river comingin the distance
 and coming past the right of the house in the pre dusk murky hour as i open
the breezeway door a group of wild horses gallop by and leap across the river
Look! Syam, look! Now others are coming in also, including Rsabdev's
. daughters and girlfriends.They have mystical powers and fool around with them.
Syam suggests everyone do giatri now.i sit on a couch and Rsabdev joins me.
As i begin the daughter begins to move the skin around my cheeks with  subtle
powers watched by Caroline,(who earlier offered me  her respectful obeisances)
Attempting to continue my giatri however annoyed thinking ,"i'll deal with these
 ladies when i'm through.When i was completed i reprimanded the daughter
saying you can't mess around when i'm  doing  gayatri.She replied sassily,"this
is my house." i replied , clutching her throat,"This is my body."She got it.Now it is
 day break and out the window there is men opperating equipment to get a large boat
to head down the river from the house. i look to see how wide the river is by day
 to see how far those horses jumped,
Sudar was in another room, and he threw me something(edible?) i don't remember
 if i cared for it or not.i talked with Lekha about kid's behavior and how i deal with it.
Then going to  a large open window with a wooden plank displaying wears are many tulsi strands.
The vedor looks at me and says,"how come you are so dark? I say from doing Gayatri
mantra in the sun.it becomes clear to me if i want to do Gayatri mantra undisterbed
by these mischievious little mtstical girls i need some black Tulasi strands to keep them
out of my domain..

whats up?

look within
follow your heart
a path exists
now lets depart

follow the hidden pathway

with revelation's code
enter to the fabric
ever so finely wove
moved by your intentions
love divine has fortold
victory  comes from understanding
 the nature of the planes phenomenal
or eternally divine
where to put attention
attract only the sublime

every day adjustment

every day is new
and something always
needs a little tending to
diet always affects us
 and our ambitions too
purify the thoughts
to help you plow through
elevate youself by adherance to the Lord
Who dwells in blissful constant accord
let a little sunlight from that plane
come closer now and with you remain

hows this day gonna go?

With an eye to the Divine
all else in the wake
everything for that One
make no mistake
the mercy of the Lord
is infinitely kind
and adherence to this message
connects us to that Sublime

celebrating " The Now!"

                                                                            NOW!

mastery of none

erase my fallen path
i long to live
beyond the plane of wrath
forcibly forsake
the bitterness of loss
that is born of from being cross
gentle be the morning
your grace is all around
mercy direct me
to worlds beyond

opulence of love

the clear dawn of sunrise
enter within my heart
remind me Lord
of everything
You wish to impart
constant companion
in a journey infinite
Your grace surrounds us
with invincible might
continue to teach us devotion
to Your Holy Name
the secret of the Cosmos
upon our hearts You've lain
Help me begin another day anew
remembering what is important
and infinitely true
there is no wealth as beautiful
as the heart of You

bitter pill of loss be gone

fill up your cup again
the tears of many lifetimes
attempt to haunt you now and then
life moves on it does dear
and in its wake it brings
dreams and wishes naturally
so many you will
sing
