Gold mountain

Is this the gold mountain we've been searching for

out here in the space of No-where in our minds

It shines invitingly, an enticing flame

full of promise to enrich our purse

We climb as daylight breaks the clouds

struggling to peak before night claims our eyes

lest what we've searched crumbles into dust

lest we 've fooled ourselves ev'ry step of the way

Yet tis true we do pretend

The prize we seek

is the one before our eyes

a shining rock gleaming neath our soles

and not the Empty Space our feet would touch

if we'd descend in our ascent to own

*Tattoo

where

I

belong

*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -Today all we have are poor people who have not succeeded in  getting rich.

  -The Gospel emerged from a world of peasants and sailor.

  -It is obvious Jesus lives in the depth of non-duality - that is, where God, the other, and ourselves form only one reality.  This is my body, this is my blood.
