Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 "Who is willing to stop thinking and LIVE in their HEARTS?" Me! I want to stop the crazy ride upon the rollercoaster of this mind, and set sail upon the precious life giving waters of the Heart. Oh, let me drown every last thought, and frolic like a dolphin within the soft, gently cresting sweetness of Her womb's warm waters. Let the vibration of Her silence Hummm through my cells, and Let Her breath be the wind which sets these sails for Home! Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Thank you! Oh, how I love dolphins! Poem below! Untitled Poem by Horace Dobbs Pushing through green waters Symbol of joy You leap from the depths To touch the sky Scattering spray Like handfuls of jewels Not caged by union rules Unfettered by sales targets No trains or planes to catch Your time is set by the flow Of the sea's tides And the moon's glow You give us images of ecstasy That we lock away Behind the doors of memory For quiet moments When released from our possessions We dream of a freedom like yours Ammachi, sanatani urban <sanatani wrote: > > "Who is willing to stop thinking and LIVE in their HEARTS?" > > Me!
