ALL IS

X
not X
X and not X
neither X nor not X
Everything is real, not real; both real and not real; neither not real nor real: this is the teaching of the Buddha. - Nagajuna

Tea Party
I wish to detail the plans for a truly epic tea party;
Of course, this tea party requires the perfect location, i.e. space-time and while I sit and explore the views, I can imagine success on a secluded beach, in an old opium den, in an attic, in a large Bedouin tent, on a stone slab projecting out over a glacier-lined lake...

In any case, the tea party would have all the right guests in all their best clothes. we would sip three teas - a Chinese tea, a flavored tea, and an herbal drink, all spiked with the drops of liquid sunshine and spilling over with potent qi.
tiny cups
tiny sips
of life
that burn away the edges
and make light
of the dream
as it has become too real
for even laughter
and for really
all there is,
is laughter
you are free, so
smile into the sun
and know that it is done
without even sipping the tea
(I borrowed and re-used an image from - photomato on Flickr.com)

cockle shell hut
Chicken-wire wrapped around a mass of cockle shells - I wonder how it smells in there??

Albert Hoffman Releases Himself
Bless him and his discovery.
Bless the medicine and the mind.
Bless us all, that we may awaken to the beauty and love and joyous cooperation that ALL IS.
ALOHA
I too am not a bit tamed — I too am
untranslatable;
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the
world.
The last scud of day holds back for me;
It flings my likeness after the rest, and true
as any, on the shadow’d wilds;
It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk.
I depart as air—I shake my white locks at the
runaway sun;
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in
lacy jags.
I bequeath myself to the dirt, to grow from the
grass I love;
If you want me again, look for me under your
boot-soles.
You will hardly know who I am, or what I mean;
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fiber your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged;
Missing me one place, search another;
I stop somewhere, waiting for you.

Everything In it's Right Place

"They are virtuous who close their senses, put away their apsirations and intentions, cast off their intellectual brilliance, and return to a vastness where there is no conscious knowing, meander beyond the dust and dirt, roam in the realm where there is nothing of concern, drink in darkness and spew out light, and harmonize with all beings and all things." (Further Teachings of Lao Tzu, Cleary, p.23)
"Kun is the power of Earth/Space. It is the Primordial Yin that returns each autumn (harvest/nourishment) and flourishes in the dark of winter (stillness). It is a solitary mare roaming in the wilderness (freedom) and then bridled and ornamented to be given as a sacrificial offering (submission). It is also the natural confluence of six rivers. It is associated with the way Nature supports, defines, and nourishes all things without ostentatious gesture. It is the constancy of our primordial mother." (Zhou I - Liu Ming's version, p19)
"The power of Primordial Yin (Great Mother spirit) cannot be grasped, it is like cosmic soup." (Zhou I - Liu Ming's version, p18)
Earth Mother generates an abundance out of the natural goodness and joy of being. There is never a need for lack or deficiency - all deficiency is a miscalculation and presumption of disconnect from the eternal source - supply. Let us simply celebrate the abundance in joy, gratitude and generosity!
"Feng is the prosperity and abundance of a kind that is hard to imagine and even harder to aquire and maintain. when abundance like this occurs we can not pretend that it is the outcome of our personal talents or effort. Feng is, in that sense, mysterious; but we cannot stand still (mourn) in awe. Instead, we should celebrate with a truly open heart (king makes offerings) and be generous (sun at midday).
It expresses the mysterious and fertile generosity of nature. The mention of astronomical and astrological influences in several lines indicates that success is a matter of fate - synchronicity with the cycles of time. Do not waste time feeling unworthy or claim the success if your. Honor all co-factors and reward all co-workers. Celebration and generosity express abundance." (Zhou I - Liu Ming's version, p125)
Entering into a time and space of naturalness and flow (the Way of Earth and the Great Mother of ALL THAT IS), we discover ourselves surrounded by and endless and unimaginable abundance - CELEBRATE IT!
Celebrate it in gratitude and by sharing it (throwing a party) and in acknowledging the unity of all things the flow is furthered and is allowed to live on and through us all.
Entering a space of naturalness, we discover the natural abundance that we are, that ALL is.
ALOHA
