A wave returns- ocean
Puzzle pieces never broken
you as You are
Before the beginning
you as You are
After the end
Not held nor hindered
By things past said
Not hurt nor encumbered
By future’s dread

Free….Free… free???

NO (Not) free!!!!!

How can you be free?
When you were never NOT free????
This is the problem
A false assumption
Based on things you cannot touch
But think about way too much

Give it up…let it go!
There’s no such thing as a healing heart
The heart (IS) healing!
Never stained by anything less than love
Never scarred by any betrayal of trust

Free Free Free!!!

You give me so much to (not?) think about.

I especially like:

"Not held nor hindered
By things past said
Not hurt nor encumbered
By future’s dread"

AND

"There’s no such thing as a healing heart
The heart (IS) healing!"

Thank you for enlightening my morning.
You inspire religious feeling in me.

Have you heard of Matisyahu?
http://www.matismusic.com/

Here are the lyrics to his hit song,
King Without A Crown -

What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my G-d all these songs of love and healing
Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing

You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through till midnight
Said, thank you to my G-d, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might

What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my G-d all these songs of love and healing
Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing

Me no want no sinsemilla.
That would only bring me down
Burn away my brain no way my brain is to compound
Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drown
Thunder!
Let the blessings come down

Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low
You want G-d but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from G-d you say he couldn't be found
Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
Yes, you keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze

What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my G-d all these songs of love and healing
Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing

Reelin' him in
Where ya been
Where ya been
Where ya been for so long
It's hard to stay strong been livin' in galus (exile) for 2000 years strong
Where ya been for so long
Been livin in this exhile for too long

(From the heart of it all...I love that)

Please accept my thanks with the silence that makes all words possible.
Who you are is already free, it is the accumulation of ideas that make us think otherwise which led to the writing of this poem.

We all have so many ideas, just like we cannot satisfy our hunger by looking at the menu, I sometimes feel we have to put down the menu of ideas that we've inherited and just remember that we're breathing...that our heart is beating...and that perhaps, just perhaps God (if there is one) made all things by becoming them.

Much love to you my friend and I love the stuff you post also.

Thank you for your appreciation, you inspire everything good in me!

I loved those lyrics, wow..now that is what you call lyrics!!!
I'm also checking out the website, you have all the good stuff!
You've thought me so much already, if it was not for you I would not be blessed with the knowing of Najinsky, and Simone Weil and...you know I could go on!

Hey, I've been listening to some music by a lady called Deva Premal-really healing heart music!
www.mitendevapremal.com

Also have you heard of Aurobindo, for some reason I felt moved to tell you to perhaps read some of his stuff.

I love you...and of course when theres no 'I' or 'you'...there IS...
Love,
Akash.

Oh and what's wrong with now unless you think about it?

You are so welcome!
I dont know anyone who
appreciates appreciation more.

I'm glad you liked the lyrics.
The music is great, too.
Here, this is the official site: http://www.matisyahu.org/
Click on "Music".. "audio"..
scroll down, check the box beside
"King Without.." And then hit the play arrow.
Also, there's a video,
if your browser supports it.

Thanks for the link,
I'm listening to the samples now.
Really cool stuff.

I have heard of Aurobindo, but never read him.
Thank you, I will consider your recommendation as a (road)sign from on high.

Or, for G-d's sake, order SOMEthing, ANYthing!

"It is far better to be badly burnt by the devil,
than to go to G-d insincerely,
or stand forever at the crossroads."
- Leo Tolstoy

Love to You,
Always,
