The Desert The Aloneness
To Hear the Voice of Origin
To be Blind To be Deaf To be Alone
To Cry Tears of Dust
And Breathe Not
With a Voice that has Ceased
As the days turn into Memories Forgotten
Lost in their Remembrance
And then to Hear the Calling
That is Silent
To Feel the Presence of All
That is Unknowable
And Breathe in the Holy Wonder
That is Mist in the Sun
To Step past the Solitude
And Become the Aloneness
As a Breath of Wind
And the Silent Voice of Origin
Wafting in the Desert Breeze

Stream of Snowmelt
Flowing Tears of Being

Dotted in brilliant Stars of the Sun
And the Face of Death Shimmering

Brilliant Flares of Awareness
Of the Teacher’s Blessings

Calling to Let go
Of the Past and a Place to Go

Realizing Death as the Shimmering Flow
And Origin’s Whisper

To Disengage from the Ordinary Mind
And Learn the Opening to Death’s teachings

The Brilliant Passage from Being
With no where to go among the Leaves

With Aware Knowing of the Teacher
Comes the Circle

Where every Breath Shines
As a Spectrum upon the Stream

Towards a Living Ongoing Vision
Becoming the Movement

Upon the Circle’s Stream
That Breathes Eternity

An individual’s spiritual life flowing in rhythm with the primordial intent is a blended existence in original heart. In this wholeness of being, teachings arise within a personal heart to heart connection like a crisp breeze in the space of one’s heart, a movement of knowing. This is the natural flow and play of life, allowing and opening with an initiating force.

This vibrant rhythm can be witnessed and experienced most clearly in the desert wilderness, laying bare the rhythm and hum of our Mother. Similarly, the desert of one’s heart is a stark open space stripped of boundaries with a fluid knowing. In the desert wilderness and the desert of your heart, you can learn to allow an embrace, wearing away the borders of our defined culture and tunnel vision perception. Behind all the conceptual elaborations, the titles
of authority, and the roles we play, lies the embrace of what naturally is, just as it is. It is a solitude of quiet, opening out like the sky after a storm, and so profound it is shocking the moment you first come to acknowledge it, leaving you open and aware, transcending your ordinary tunneled in perception. Go to the desert, go to the desert of one’s heart and return to the vibrancy and resonant force of radiance.

Entering the rhythm of this vision of life is where everything comes alive and sings, playing out the story of your personal journey. The whole experience of life is then charged with a living intent pulsing through the veins of your life, moving you, guiding you.

May Full Moon

“Being receptive is not being passive: it is an active willingness to relate with the radiance of the essence that is manifesting ceaselessly, outwardly and inwardly. It is a direct response from your heart, a direct involvement with the very fabric of our world, a blended acknowledgement. Responding is a relational empathic experience, participating with the call and response that is ongoing and fluid all around you, not a construct of the mind but a surrender of the mind’s control over the heart, a surrender that allows an open dance within your heart and the heart of all.”
- Primordial Grace

A spiritual life begins with Intuitive inspiration where the epiphanies of spiritual beginnings are very similar to a seed that sparks into life in nutrient rich soil and rises up out of the ground. One has come to genuine humbleness of an open heart and an allowing mind, the potential developing within one’s Heart Seed. This fertile dynamic environment for growth is the great compassion awakening within you and collectively with our Earth Mother!

Remember yourself within the Rhythm
The Turning within Ancient Indigenous Eyes
The Light of Primal Relation
Light of Origin’s Fulfillment
Light of a Seamless Whole

Finding a deep Remembrance
A Calling within the Heart of All
Stepping through a Curtain that has never existed
Acknowledging a Primal Expanse
The Aware Wonder of Origin

Suddenly Space Lights beyond all conscious limits
Felt within every Fiber of your being
Heart’s Confinement is Vanquished
The Delusion Severed
The Return of Natural Vibrant Being

Primal and Ageless Knowing Flow
The Openness of a Light Unseen
An Awareness whose Brilliance
Is the Inherent Radiance of Life
Today’s Vital Prayer of Remembrance

03/18/2026

To experience the resonant Heart of Origin
Weaken the web of ordinary influence
Creating a cave of mystery around your Heart Light
Find the silence of solitude to hear the Calling of Origin
And allow the subtle lines of the Earth to guide
Simple, living emanating flow of blessings

Clearing the ordinary lines of Influence
To Bathe in the Rays of the Sun

Live within the threshold of mystery, where Origin lives and ignite the wonder of a living responsive vision

Hawks Circling the Blood Moon
Hunting the Light within Origin’s Heart
To Resolve the Clouds and Haze

The Light Hunts the Seeker Too
With Patience Born Outside of Time
Stalking with Primal Fluidity

Turn the Wings of Spirit
Align with the Full Moon
To Sense Light’s Tone of Being

Within the Sign of the Hawk
The Fire can Burn the Soul
Or Ignite as a Prayer within the Rhythm

Pray Upon the Heart’s Current
Flight of an Aware Openness
To Light the Heart for All Being

For the Rhythm’s Translation
Is an Open Blessing of Heart’s Eye
A Knowing Union and a Fluid Ascension

Through a Window Silently
A Tree moves in a Wind
A Feather having Fallen within a Breeze
A Flame’s Wave upon Space

Catch the Fleeting Waves of Experience
A Space of Time
Neither a Spirit of an Action
Nor a Soul of a Being
Only a Wave in Origin’s View
The Passage between Solidity and the Mist of Spirit

Aware of Fleeting Waves
Stepping back from the Self
Stepping away from Ordinary Perception
To Rest in the Purity of Openness
And See through the Eyes of Origin

The Resonance of a Transcendent Calling

Especially in the Dark Clouds of Our Times
You must Calm your Subtle Energy
And Witness the Transient Waves
Of the Heart of Origin

To Be a Prayer for All Being

02/20/2026

The Purity of Origin’s Heart glows
No Prayer No Song No Ceremony
No Demands of Worship
The domination of boxes begin to fade
Where even the holy boxes no longer dictate
To flourish simply as a blossom in the Spring time Air
Within the quietness of Heart’s Open Air Space
The occasional flight of birds of Mind
Tracing patterns that fade in your noon day sun
The walls of remembrance
Mist in the brightness that shines beyond self
The Transcendent Flight within the Being of Sky
As your Flight never leaves a Trace
To be a Rainbow Reflection
The Purity of Transcendent Openness spontaneously arising
One with the Divine Vision
Upon our Earth Mother
Floating in the Expanse of Space

To be simply a Prayer for All Being
