GREETING

Hello there

We’ve found each other

It is my understandingThat you are my sister

Or my brother

I have journeyed far

To be here with youFrom beyond time and space

I’ve come to see you

Let’s sit together

And share some timeWhile I try to tell you about 

This life of mine

The thoughts in me

That flow to thee

Have the energyTo set us free

Even heavy things

Will be all right 

Just let them rest And share some light

Depending onIf you’re feeling wrong or right 

The time to drink This water I give

Is when you thirst And yearn to live

So if my wordsSeem out of synch

Just let it be

And forgo the drink

From this visionCame a song

FUTILITY

What good is foodTo a dead person?

SANCTUARY

There is a place

Very close to me

A place that I can goA place that I can be

There is a place

Not very far away

With a secret pathSo I may not stray

No sound is there

No walls aroundNot a breath of windThere peace abounds

I can come and goJust as I please

And when I’m thereI feel at ease

SALVATION

I have never been bornAnd I will never die

And The Lord is my constant companion

Through Him

I am born into the flesh

And through HimI die from the flesh

But I am forever

Just as The Lord is forever

For I was made in His imageThis I know because

By His graceHe has shown it to me

He came in a burst of light And an explosion of salvation

And a shower of loving rain

As a Lion came HeAnd saved me from death

And He showed me His love

And he showed me His wisdom

And many thingsWonders beyond wonders

But above allHe said to me

Know that I Am

THE BIRD

I was sitting in a basket On the back of a giant bird

Its wings were brilliant white

And their sound could well be heard

How I came to be thereI’ll never ever know

But the view that I was getting

Was a most remarkable show

We were flying over a giant canyon

Even bigger than The GrandThe whole place was on fire

There was no place to land

I could see boiling pools of lava

To this there seemed no endI heard the sound of crumbling rocks

This place wasn’t heaven sent 

The canyon sides were red with heat There was a loud crack and hiss

It was a scary place indeed

For me a good place to miss

I got a little frightened

I could not bear this placeUntil I saw the bird my friend

And the smile upon his face

I knew that very moment 

This place was not for meThe bird was flying over

This abyss and its boiling sea

The things I will remember

About this strange place

Is the sound of wings flappingAnd the smile on that bird’s face

FRIENDS

I made some friends

In years I left behindThere was one thing different about them

I met them in my mind

They were very special people

Who came from up the track 

They spent a little time with meAnd made sure I wouldn’t turn back 

They had a way of speaking

Quite clever I would find

They used to tell me storiesWith pictures in my mind

I also have to mention

A thing you rarely seeIt was the power of their love

And they were loving me

They seemed to have a great concernThat I would be all right 

Their smiles shone like the midday sunThey would help me through the night 

For a time I was speechlessNot knowing what to say

Then I just loved them back And went happily on my way

VESNA

I have a guardian angel

She has just a little face

She has these tiny little wingsAnd a dress of golden lace

She wears a white breastplateWith the cross of Christ thereon

That’s just so no one doubtsWhere she is coming from

She sometimes wields a lanceAnd helps to give me freedom

And the way she goes about it Is to run it through a demon

Well she’s very good at that Keeping me a free man

Because whenever I lose my way

She sticks it to that demon

She is a gift to meA gift from way above

A blessing full of grace

A little angel full of love

THE TEACHER

Once I had a teacher

It was some time back He showed me something special

And put me on the narrow track 

Silent and still

He came to meAnd gave me his eyes

With which to see

My life had changed

In a flash of light My eyes could tell

Between wrong and right 

I truly am a lucky man

For fate to be so kind

His teaching was like a cool drink For a parched and thirsty mind

I’m older now

And still I do remember

When my teacher cameIn stillness one September

THE IN‐BETWEEN TIME

I walk aloneNight after lonely night 

Under the starry skyPondering my plight 

And then one timeIt came to me

The realization that 

The in‐between time it be

It is the timeWhen all is still

A strange phenomenon

Between heaven and hell

A time beforeThe time to come

A time just afterOld things are done

A kind of time

When things stand stillThe sort of time to have

When you’ve got time to kill

It’s kind of like a time

And kind of like a placeIt’s just the in‐between time

Time out in inner space

The in‐between time

A place which has me grinningBecause now I know

It’s the time before the new beginning

TALKING TO GOD

Dearest Papa

I am sorry today

I am sorry for my angerI am sorry for my discontentment 

I am sorry for my lust I am sorry for my selfishness

I am really sorry

These conditions are a heavy burden

On my shoulders and my mind LordRest and peace are a stranger to me

I cannot even imagineWhat life would be like

If I had the strength

To throw off these heavy burdens

I am sorry for them today Lord

And I was wonderingIf You could help me unload them

Please

ANOTHER BEGINNING

It’s midday in the templeAlready half the day is done

I think I must have lost my wayCause I’m back where I started from

It’s a place I’ve been beforeIt’s somewhere that I know

There is no place quite like it 

A good place from which to go

I have a lot of optionsCould do this or could do that 

But I better forget about them

And give destiny a bat 

The road I’ll walk is narrowNo more than just a track 

There are not many on it And no one’s looking back 

There is a man upon it 

Who once hung upon a crossHe said it was the way to go

With no concern for gain or loss

He said not many people take it 

This track of which I writeIt takes courage strength conviction

And the grace of a guiding light 

The way is long and winding

A struggle all the wayBut He said that it was worth it 

And that He’d help me if He may

CENTERING

Getting back On the track 

Is nothing more

Than a snack 

I am sorryBut you don’t have to forgive me

I forgive youBut you don’t have to be sorry

I love youBut you don’t have to love me

ENLIGHTENMENT

In the old days

In the really really old daysThe old men of weathered skin

And rough clothingUsed to say

Maybe while sitting around a fire

Smoking and drinkingAnd laughing

They used to sayBefore enlightenment 

We chopped wood and carried waterAfter enlightenment 

We still chop wood and carry water

Happy are thoseWho see the light 

For they have been given life

STORMY WEATHER

Desire

I’m on fireHead is spinning

Mind is sinning

I’m losin traction

No satisfaction

Can’t keep it togetherIt’s stormy weather

But something tells me

You can’t get better

If you don’t sail throughSome stormy weather

And even though

I think I knowI’ve hurt You so

I won’t let go

Cause I’m really sorryFor my indiscretion

And not keeping it togetherIn the stormy weather

But I won’t let goOh no, no never

TRUTH

What is the price of truth?

Is it loss?Is it hate?

Is it isolation?

Is it uncertainty?Is it suffering?

And yet 

I would not I could not 

Have it any other way

So

I’ll take the pain

For what I lose

I gainFor truth

Dearest Papa

Please lead me

Into the new dayPlease lead me

Into the new way

I’ll stand

On the rock On which You put me

I’ll not move

Until You tell me

It’s in my weaknessThat I feel frustration

It’s kindness and meeknessThat’s my obligation

I know one day

When You are readyYou’ll show the way

Gotta keep steady

Still and silent 

At Your feet I’ll sit Silent and still

That’s it

Sweet timeSweet feelings

So far

More than I expected

So sorryBout all that I neglected

So full

There ain’t no end to it 

Been given it 

Had it taken awayRealized

You can’t hold onto it If you want to see

A brand new day

True love

Is like water in the desert 

The children are it 

HeyIt’s midnight 

It’s a brand new year

People are screamingAnd I’m listening to Simon

We all travel thinking

That we do the doing

But we’re all just floatingIn the river

In the river of time

All heading downstream

HAVING A LOOK

And he said to me

If you climbA tree that is tall

The higher the tree

The bigger the fall

And I replied

If I climbA tree that is tall

The higher the tree

The more I can see

NAMES

Does giving something a name

Take away its mystery?

Does changing the name of somethingChange it?

DIVISIONS

Hindu Christian Muslim Buddhist and JewAnd all the rest of you

What’s in a name?What’s in a label?What’s in a line?

What is my side?

And what is your side?Who is right?

And who is wrong?Which way is right?

Consider thisHindu Christian Muslim Buddhist and Jew

And all the rest of you

If you love the ONE

From whom you comeYou’ll get back home

When your days are done

No matter what the way that you may travel

No matter what the words by which you goIf you are not each other’s brothers

You will never reach your goal

For you claim saviours

And saviours they are indeed

But your saviours can do nothing for youIf you are blind to your brother’s need

So listen to the Lord my friend

Hear what He has to say

And surely when time comes to an endHe’ll be there at end of way

Don’t be misled my friend

Thinking yours the only way

For many paths go up the mountainAnd the view from the top is always the same

There are many rooms in our Father’s houseAnd each religion takes up but one

So don’t criticise what you don’t knowBecause we all live under the same sun

DIVISIONS (Cont.)

So

Follow your way and love the Lord

Hindu Christian Muslim Buddhist and Jew

And all the rest of youAnd rejoice in the truth

That salvation waits there for you

The key is righteousness and holiness

And a heart that is pureNot a name or a prayer or a doctrine

That’s for sure

Not even healing or bringing from the dead

Or any kind of magicIf you follow these paths

Your end will be mighty tragic

It’s love and love alone

That opens up the door aboveThere is no way to paradise

Except by the road of love

So

Go for it my manHold nothing back 

Walk your walk Follow your way

Look straight ahead and know

The Lord I AMI AM The Lord

Love Me with all your heart Like a son loves a father

And a father loves a son

And you will seeYou’ll come to Me

No matter what 

No matter what

FALSE MORALITY

So

You think you can improve the worldI don’t think so

It’s sacredYou can’t improve it 

If you try to change it You will wreck it 

If you try to possess it You will lose it 

As soon as we stopTrying to improve the world

It will start getting better

All by itself

THE LAW

In the universeOf time and space

In the field of energy

A law of constancyIs taking place

For every action

In this magic place

There is a reactionIn each and every case

This law applies

On each and every levelAnd it affects

The way we travel

It is thus profitableWith no danger of illness

To take some timeAnd practise some stillness

You have your training

You have your line of teachersThere can only be one line of teachers

For anyone

So

Although there appear to be all types of truths around

Many pathsDo not stray from your own

Just as others mustn’t stray from theirs

You have a fine knowledge

Your teachers have been good

Rest easy in your spaceAnd let the world whirl around it

CLEANING MY KITCHEN

I’m on the edge

Of the abyss

A point near madnessI can’t go back 

And I can’t go forward

Hmm …

I think I’ll do some Yoga

I think I’ll clean my kitchenI think I’ll take a week 

Maybe twoI think I’ll do it perfect 

It’s going to be so clean

When I’m on the edgeCleaning my kitchen

INITIATION

We need

Courage and faithTo let go of the bank 

And float downstream

Life changing quickly now

Rapids waterfallsThen a calm lake

Then another waterfall

Then graduallyThings start to settle

The river of life

Is wide and majestic

Life settling down

Lots of space around

Getting a notion

Gonna end up in the oceanIn the great ocean

Of wonderful meditation

PRIVACY

If I get the notion

To do some meditationI make sure

To sit on the floor

POSING

Meditation in general

Requires a mind

Free of ego and pride

It is therefore important When aiming for Home

To do it alone

As well as and also

To get it more perfect It helps immeasurably

To keep it a secret 

You cannot be natural

You cannot be free

If there is someone thereSomeone that can see

FOR MY CHILDREN

Dearest kidsDon’t take life lightly

Don’t give up the precious things

Like truth and honesty

The right road is harderAnd very few take it 

But it’s beautiful

Dear kids

In your livesLove a lot 

And hate little

And alwaysGive more than you get 

Don’t keep tallies

And forget 

Debts owed to you

Keep your facesTo the sun

And walk every dayIn God’s light 

And stay free of blame

You could do these thingsFor your daddy

Who loves you foreverBut that would be a mistake

Because I have the same Father in heaven

As you doSo do it for Him

And love Him all the time

You are truly

My little brotherAnd my little sisters

Love the Lord

Upset the mind

Of the selfishAnd unkind

Let me be devoted

To the work I doAnd let its joy

Shine out on you

Let no manDisturb my peace

From angry thoughtsLet me be released

I wish these thingsFor me to be

Cause He once saidThis sort of bloke is dear to Me

I’ll help them to liveI’ll look in their eyes

Cause You showed me the way

You turned night into day

And for ever and everI’ll not leave You never

Cause You are my Father

And I am Your sonAnd my life has begun

I can’t imagine a minuteWithout You in it …

TALKING TO GOD

Dearest Papa

Sometimes I can’t put into words what I feel. And the feeling is so powerful.

Exploding from out of my heart. It can’t be contained, but I can’t put words to it.

What I did, I’d do the same again. I did it for You because You were true. Your gift is my most precious possession. It is more precious than family, friends or fame.

Your gift is so beautiful, it’s more precious than life itself. I’ll stand where You put me, on solid ground. I’ll not move till You tell me. This bugs them a lot. I can see

them and I can feel them scrambling to reach me. But the gulf is getting wider.

Their task is getting harder. They failed before and they’ll fail again. I’m stillstanding thanks to You and I’m still clutching Your gift, tight, shining inside of my

heart, where You put it.

There’s a distant horizon

Starting to appearAnd a new day is dawning

Without any fear

I’ll not take my eyes

Off that beautiful light I’ll keep to the track 

With Your help if I might 

The new day is dawning

I swear that it's true

Its light is explodingOn me and on you

The light that I see

That is shining bright 

Is shining for thoseWho lived righteous and right 

The rest of humanity

Who gave torment and pain

Will only see darknessOf storms and of rain

TALKING TO GOD (Cont.)

Their pain will be doubled

By what they will seeAnd that is the joy

In you and in me

They’ll scream and they’ll shout 

And they’ll end up weeping

They’ll know that their sowingIs what they’ll be reaping

But we mustn’t be troubled

Bout the destiny of others

Bout the distance between usAnd betrayals of brothers

The light of the new day

And the life that’s before usWill point to the new way

And this will restore us

Forever we’ll liveWith knowledge of love

Blessed by the graceOf His light from above

SPECULATION

Speculation is a product of our imagination

Our mind is filled with thoughts of possibilities of the futureAnd as a result 

Amounts to no more than self tortureSpeculation is wasted time

It is a non‐productive

Activity of mind

So

There’s no point thinking about the futureCause you’ll never be a happy creature

Your life will be a lot more fun

If you focus your mind

On the work to be done

PERFECTION

Imperfection

Is actuallyA part 

Of perfection

So

The perfect creation

Has within it A measure of Imperfection

THE ROPE

The Lord is the giver

And taker of all thingsAnd because

He gave you your life

Your life is HisAnd because

He gave you the worldThe world is His

And because

He wanted to seeHow you will live

And how you will beTo see

If you are smart or a dopeTo see

If you will give pain and grief 

He gave you enough rope

To hang yourself with

KARMA

I know I must accept my Karma. I also know I must accept the Karma of mymother and father, my wife and my children. I must also accept the Karma of 

every person on Earth.To accept Karma is to accept God’s will. I do not know their sowing and I

must accept their reaping. As you sow, so shall you reap. Words spoken by the

Lord. That is the law. That is how God is just. We are judged by our own words,thoughts and deeds. As we judge, so will we be judged. That is the law.

We live by the law, of that we have no choice. This is so whether we choose

to believe it or not. The best thing is to accept it by gracefully accepting ourKarma. To react would be to create new Karma, to sow new seeds, the result of 

which we would have to live through in some future time.

So

If you want your life

To stop being a bummerYou ought to learn

To accept your Karma

So stay in focus

And dodge distraction

And put your mind toThe practice of non‐reaction

So

If they take your coat Don’t raise a heap of hell

Go run after them you goat And give them your shirt as well

THIS WORLD

This worldIs one grain of sand

On one of the beachesOn one of the shores

Of one of the oceans

Of one of the worldsIn one of the universes

Which make up the nucleusOf one atom

Of a stepping stoneWhich I lay downBeneath your feet 

For you to step upon

As you walk On your long journey

GOING WITH THE FLOW

The faster we run

The slower we go

The harder we pushThe stronger the resistance

Striving brings tiredness

Water does not flow uphill

The sun rises in the morningAnd sets in the evening

No one can breathe in forever

SITUATIONS

We suffer painBecause of our attachment 

To situations

The river flows

And nature goesThe way she’s gonna go

We struggle and strainTo keep things the same

And as a result We suffer the pain

Everything changesThis fact is true

And this is a lessonFor me and for you

It’s better to let goAnd watch nature at play

And go with the flow

It’s a much better way

To all things aroundThere’s a beginning and end

We’re on nature’s ground

Her rules we can’t bend

So as much as we tryTo make things last forever

They all crumble to dust 

And get swept down the river

MESSING ABOUT

Why did God make the universe?

Hmm …

There must be only one reason

For funJust messing about 

Why would there be any other reason?

MAKING AND BREAKING

There are two forces in the universe. They are the force of creation and theforce of destruction. Some interpret these as good and evil, but they don’t see the

mystery. These forces are dependant upon each other. There can be no creation

unless there is destruction and vice‐versa. This is nature. Also creation is not better than destruction and destruction is not worse than creation. They just are.

Also they are both fun. If they were not so, they would not exist. If it pains you toread this, if you are uncomfortable with this, you have not yet accepted nature.

You remain attached to your idea of good and bad. Letting go of ideas is difficult.

Achieving harmony with nature is difficult as well. Our ideas change nothinghowever. All things are created, exist, and finally are destroyed. This is how it is.

This is great. We are an integral part of nature. We were created, we exist, andfinally, we will be destroyed. This is also great and as well it is a heap of fun.

So

If you are offended by destruction

It is because you don’t believe in creation

Because

Imperfections only exist in ideas

Perfections only exist in realities

TEACHING

Use simple speechWhen you teach

Use simplicity

And repel pomposity

Your words will contain

A message that’s self‐evident Delivered in a language

Not suitable for the cultured gent 

You’ll go out amongst them

And give them your word

To all but the chosenYou’ll sound quite absurd

The righteous and simple

Will soak up your teaching

The cultured and proudWill pass by your preaching

Don’t be dismayed

By the swarming forlornDon’t be afraid

You are the eye of the storm

Go out in the landAnd give them heaps

Go tell every manAs he sows so he reaps

And while you are at it You might want to mention

That love’s the only wayAnd there is no exception

You are My manWith Me in your heart 

Live out My plan

It is time to start

THE TRAIN STATION

There is a clear vision I’ve had in my mind for a long time now. It kind of summarises my position in life and my relation to others.

I’m standing on a train platform in a train station. I’m waiting for my train,which is going in the direction that I want to go. And as I’m waiting, I look up and

down the platform that I’m on and to my astonishment there is no one there. I

stand alone on my platform. Then I look across to the other side, the otherplatform. The train that stops there is going in exactly the opposite direction to

mine. And the opposite platform is packed with people. I mean packed likesardines. There are people backed up the stairways and people are spilling off 

the platform down onto the railway line and desperately trying to scramble back up. And all these people are going the other way. And I’m standing there alone,on my platform, looking across at the scrambling congested crowd on the other

side of the lines. And every now and then some of them would stop pushing and

shoving and almost as if in a brief trance, would gaze at me, wondering.And I know, as I observe this scene, that there is a distance between all

these people and me. And when the trains come, the distance between us willbecome greater and greater.

LIGHT AND DARKNESS

Ultimately

There are only two things in this universeLight and darkness

All the coloursAnd all the things that are

And all our dreamsAnd all our visions

And all that we can imagineAnd all that we can hope for our children

And everything that can possibly be

Comes from light 

When light is absent 

It is called darkness

THE MAN

I do believe

That our Heavenly Father

Was born as a manTo become our saviour

And the Heavenly Spirit 

Which dwelt in Jesus

I do believe stronglyWill dwell within us

And I do believeThat this act of love

Was a Holy SacrificeMade by our Father above

Our Heavenly FatherJust wanted to visit 

He came as JesusOK with you is it?

He wanted to show usHis power over nature

By bending some rules

And predicting the future

He kicked a few tablesAnd He caused a few scandals

As He wandered amongst us

In His sackcloth and sandals

And love is allThere is to be

To win your life

And come with Me

There’s more to reality

Than there is to seeHow long is forever

How far infinity

THE MAN (Cont.)

The truth is hard

For man to swallow

A road that is narrowIs hard to follow

The Lord lived with us

Till the age of thirty three

His heart and His mindWere on you and on me

And He knew all the timeAnd he did heaps of praying

That He’d get hung to dieFor what He was saying

But his best trick of allTo demonstrate His freedom

Was to rise from His graveAnd bury that demon

And I do believeThat right from the start 

His Spirit Supreme

Has dwelt in my heart 

And years ago when only a boyMy adventure began to begin

He entered my heart and decided to stay

Because I asked Him in

So we’ve come full circleIn this book of mine

It is written for you

In this space and time

You can take it or leave it 

It won’t fluster my feathersA man is as wise

As the things he remembers

THE LION

There is no wayTo the Father

Except via the Son

There is no way

To heaven friend

Unless you are born again

There is a placeIn your heart 

For the Lion to rest 

And new life to start 

Evil waysAre cast aside

And SatanMust be denied

A battle must rage

Within your heart The devil is cunning

Satan is smart 

But the Lion is there

His power is greaterHe just needs your faith

For the storm to weather

Than chastity

BRINGING IT BACK

In the end man

Go and climb that mountainAnd check the view from On High

And see the light that shines in heaven

And bring it back when you come downThen tell the people that it’s easy

Just love the Lord with all your heart And love each other

And be like brothers

And let that light Shine onto others

This is just about it 

My work is nearly overNever fear the devil

He’s a mongrel

And his day is done

Hope you find that glorious mountain

Hope you climb it to the topHope you win your salvation

And become one of the crop

Love the Lord
