Tomoko Uemura in Her Bath: By Mace Mealer

Why does compassion arise

with realization?

Because it was there

all along

waiting

to be

realized.

What is? By Mace Mealer

What is revealed
is empty of revelation,
What is known
holds no disparate
quality from
what is unknown.
What is sensed
transcends the capacity
for all communication.
What is existence
but the distillation
of all experience,
the primal essence
of being.

Ruby Slippers: By Mace Mealer

ruby slippers
When selfless love
is present
you have entered
the door of liberation.
This capacity
was your
first birthday present.
Like Dorothy’s ruby slippers,
home has never
been more
than three clicks
away.

Love’s Wind: By Mace Mealer

When the trees sing
it is the wind that
gives them voice.
When the heart sings,
what, but the
mystery of love
is at hand.
Cast wide the sails
of your heart
into the star filled
firmament
and love’s wind
will guide
you unerringly home
