DEEPENING THE WONDER
Death is a favour to us,
But our scales have lost their balance.
The impermanence of the body
Should give us great clarity,
Deepening the wonder in our senses and eyes
Of this mysterious existence we share
And are surely just travelling through.
If I were in the Tavern tonight,
Hafiz would call for drinks
And as the Master poured, I would be reminded
That all I know of life and myself is that
We are just a midair flight of golden wine
Between His Pitcher and His Cup.
If I were in the Tavern tonight,
I would buy freely for everyone in this world
Because our marriage with the Cruel Beauty
Of time and space cannot endure very long.
Death is a favour to us,
But our minds have lost their balance.
The miraculous existence and impermanence of
Form
Always makes the illumined ones
Laugh and sing.

Inspirational teacher, ground-breaking therapist, author,
traveller and Grail-seeker
For many years I have worked and travelled around the world
with Roger Woolger. I have also had the privilege to share and enjoying leisure time together from exploring sacred temples sites to travelling along the Niile reminiscing on past lives. I will miss him on so many levels and though physically he has left, I know he continues his journey into the other worlds teaching were needed.
