I'm interested in Luv without form or definition, Luv beyond our limited emotions and even more limited cognition, see... I don't want to have to think about Luv, or have it be dependent upon flighty and... fleeting emotions. I want that... UnIversal Luv of... drops returning to... Oceans, and... winds that embrace with invisible fingers, the sunlight's caress that... warms my soul and... lingers. I'm interested in the strength of spirit that... subdues egos, but leaves them free to overcome their false sense of separateness and experience Oneness. I'm interested in that Divine She that sees me and knows and understands... We have been here... we have done this... a thousand times before... time. I'm interested in the experience of Absolute BEing that causes me to... lose my mind!
First and foremost... I'd like to build with the Father... Allah... Clarence 13X, along with Siddhartha Gautama, Shri Yukteswar, St. Thomas of Aquinas, Hatshepsut, Ames Nefertari, Queen Nzinga, Thich Nhat Hahn... these are some of my personal heros and heroines... Shemsu Heru. After that... I want to meet... U!
Everything is new now for me.
My mind is new, the moon, the sun.
The whole world looks rinsed with water,
washed in the rain of I Am That.
Lalla leaps and dances inside the energy
that creates and sustains the UnIverse.

time entered dressed as an old man... telling old stories... stories about days past, leading to this moment... when we would meet... passengers on an astral plane... destination... unknown... u... now... know... now... aint it funny how... the spoon stays straight and... the mind bends... how intelligence begins where... thought ends? ha ha ha... welcome to the madness of my method.
Intimacy in general terms is a song of spirit inviting two people to come and share their spirit together. It is a song no one can resist. We hear it while awake, sleeping, in community or alone. We cannot ignore it.

I smell the fragrance of your mouth in the grass
I see the color of your face in lily and jasmine.
Even without these, I just open my lips
And I hear your name being repeated over and over again
