Sinking Clouds

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 by shaman sun : integral philosopher shaman sun
Through the Fog..

It's so natural for us to see only through our own point of view. While expressing one attitude or another, we tend to find things that naturally reinforce it. "Oh, yes, see? That makes such sense." We sort of let it sink into our minds, sharpening its talons so that it may defend its truth. I can't help but see this happen in myself and others. They are so much like clouds that sink to the tips of the trees, and only allow us to see so far. No matter how we fight them, we won't be able to 'push' them away. The very way the world looks is through the fog. So then I can't help but to begin to question the importance of viewpoints. If the clouds have sunk into our eyes, we will not see anything more. To recognize this fog is more important. No more shining lights into a haze, if the haze is just going to reflect back our light.

We are That

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 by shaman sun : integral philosopher shaman sun

The masters are a metaphor,

And we but poetic dew upon their petals.

Is it not true?

All forms that rise,

Also disappear?

Why then would such beautiful flowers mean the world to you?

Seek not their form, but the presence within them.

Oh, how lost in maya are we!

Dancing in shapes and colors,

This and that enchanting our vision.

Like children to dazzled colors we run,

Only to watch them slip away like clouds.

The clouds will come and go, my child,

Be present in the infinite blue,

And you may blossom too.
