People are individual waves in the sea of humanity.

What single wave can separate from the entirety of the ocean?

Is it pointless to try to be separate, when you already are all of it?

Is this lack of acceptance for what is, what we call being human?

Perhaps it is the relentless, pointless, beauty of the stormy sea?

I’m a sailor with a salty sweet soul
who lives all alone
in Spartan simplicity

Pondering big questions
taking small steps
caring more deeply
about the big blue sea

Dancing with you last night
My feet moved magically under legs

Shadows came right up out of the floor
Lifting us higher and higher
To help us touch the sky

Developing sensual physical communication
Playing with subtle forces of divine light
There was unification of hearts and minds
Spinning and whirling in a sea of graceful fluidity

The night melted away
Timelessly transformed
Romance dance

I can still feel you in my arms
Folded deep beside me
Protected by my soul

Fingertips touching lightly
Looking into your eyes
When you smile that gentle knowing smile
I dissolve into the ocean of you

I see you cresting up out of the sea
Can you see me rolling on the swell?

Unique and special
Crashing together as one
Cascading onto the shore

We are waves in the ocean
We are the ocean

We are not separate
Nothing is separate

I used to have a big crush on you
Thought you were the girl for me
Until I realized that you are the star
And that you need to be up in the sky all by yourself
To shine the way that you do

Cresting cobalt wall of water whips the rider
Rocketing down the pipeline
The surfer is not separate from the wave
Separation means getting pulled under and out to sea

The surfer is the wave
We are the wave
We are the breath
We are the heart
There is no separation from anything or anyone

Not really.

Know this and you are also the Dalai Lama
Know this and you are also the beggar
Know this and you are also the thief
Know this and you are also the mother
Know this and you are also the guru
Know this and you are also the stranger
Know this and you are also the baby
Know this and you are also the laborer
Know this and you are also the famous
Know this and you are also the street addicted hustler

Know this and know the precious threads of life that connect
Know this and know that it will all disappear into the moment that is no more.

This secret is no secret anymore

Sitting across the table from you, I am intoxicated
It is the whole of us, this quite stare we share.
You have the eyes of a Panther, the face of a schoolgirl.

I fall into a looking that does not end, it penetrates me.
Subtle characteristics, unique voice, rare view, sweet visage,
I see the face of my very first love.

There is a depth in you, a dignity and a classic grace.
It is reflected in the deep still pools of your eyes.
Swim with me to the other side where our imaginations meet.
Two rivers of consciousness flow together into one cosmic sea.

It is the whole of us, this quite stare we share.
Don’t look at me; look through me, beyond this human form.
I’ll meet you in another place that is empty and share it all!
We’ll do a dance that has no form, to a music that has no sound.
