Journey to Ixtlan

A poem about a spiritual path that few attempt. It does not seeking "enlightenment" as a religious or spiritual goal the way Buddhists and Hindus do, as his focus is on serving others. Enlightenment comes with time, with the scars proving attainment.

Separate Reality
Poem for Day 81 – 20141213

See the sacred world:
the physical and spiritual combined.
No barrier between
the worlds of dream and reality.
Reach out to the beyond:
underworld, upperworld.
Each integrated
to the inner realm, master of all.

Live the unity,
embracing the whole of the world.
Serve the unity,
servant to all of the community.
Walk the middle road,
share the vision with the people.
Perform the vision
in forms of art, music, and dance.

At the end of the day,
retreat to that separate reality.
Dreaming of a world
that spans God's totality.
