Blessings to you, Ram Dass

ram dassThe wondrous RAM DASS has left the planet and a light has dimmed upon his departure.

His ongoing spiritual journey was deep, immense, and a gift shared over so very many years. We are indebted to him – for his courage, his strength of purpose, his wisdom, laughter, and his willingness to deep-dive into the Eternal Heart. And for reminding us of who we truly are!

He will forever be remembered for breaking the mold and daring to be.

From the shores of Hawaii, a place he lived and loved, may the scent of plumeria waft heavenward and the exquisite breezes of the Aloha be a gentle companion to him as he soars toward the stars.

Blessings to you, Ram Dass!!   Mahalo.  Much Love.

I DANCED

plumeria

 

 

I danced once
With the king of heaven
In the land of saffron

 

Midst tinkling bells
And droning chants
Along invisible pathways
And perfumed winds
That whispered sacred promises

 

I danced
Until what was could not be found
And only what could be remained

 

We danced, the king of heaven and I
In the land of saffron
Under a banyan tree of golden light
That only we could see

 

And when it was over
(if it was ever over)
Only Love remained

No more…

By: Aliana Alani ©2017

You will forgive me if I say – no more.
Forgive me, perhaps, as I turn away
From this game you seem unable, or unwilling,
To leave behind.

I have stood watch over your thirst for conquest.
Soothed your wounds of battle with my tears.
Mourned your spirits passing, bodies left in the cold of dark.

Many times the heavens turned, showering love
Like fertile seeds within the winds of sorrow
Upon the fields of story – your story
That you seem unable, or unwilling, to leave behind.

Many times did you drink from their cup gladly,
Relishing the moment, healing, even gratefully,
Only then to forget, yes again.

I have come more times than you can possibly imagine
To speak for love instead of hate
To light the way for gentler tomorrows,
And still it continues.

So you will forgive me, perhaps,
If I say – no more.

No more will I lament your passing nor watch
Sweet souls tumble to a blood-strewn earth.
No more will I bury your bones within the stars of light
That you may come to your senses and remember.

This game of war is yours and yours alone.
The courage to peace, to change, lives within.
It has always been thus, but this time it is up to you.
For next time, beloveds, you will be on your own.

You will forgive me, perhaps.
I will not come again.

Behold,

How long it can often take
To build a dream into a reality,

And how little time is needed
To tear it all apart.

Ask only…

Ask not of others
to be what you want
them to be.

Ask only of yourself
to be who you
truly are.
