Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Re-Creation

Your fundamental nature is pure, conscious, peaceful, radiant, living and wise, and it is joined in mysterious ways with the ultimate underpinnings of reality, by whatever name we give That.  Although your true nature may be hidden momentarily by stress, and worry, anger and unfulfilled longings, it still continues to exist…. Paradoxically it takes time to become (again) what we really are.                  
                                                                                                     Rick Hanson, Buddha’s Brain, p. 15

In the cool of the morning
Adam walked in the garden, unconcerned
Knowing only good

Adam (human) is who we really our
Precious souls
Who were born with original blessing

Who have lost contact with our original self
And with the one from whom we came

Our divine nature blunted and crushed
By fear and pain
Hatred and prejudice
Greed and a lust for power

But our divine heritage lurks in our souls
And paradise lost
Can become (at some level)
Paradise found

We can become
Who we already (at our deepest level) are

God’s re-creation
