SET LIST---THE POETRY OF CREATIVITY—PARSHA NASO

THE SECRET ESSENCE OF CREATIVENESS

dear seekers of the creative experience ....chasers of the essentials that are bringing into being a whole new way of seeing ....creativity unplugged ...ecstasy revealed at it's core -----so that the seekers of new ways of doing it ...novel approaches to feeling it ...ingenuity crossing over into brand new dimensions ...and the words and music never stop coming.....let the poetry explain what I am straining to say



THE CREATIVE EXPERIENCE

****the creative experience
channels it's way
into our hearts
forges a path
in the dark

***the creative experience
awakens the slumbering giant
who resides deep inside ...
a giant of innovation
waiting to be bestowed
with endless inspiration

*** *the creative experience
humbles the fortunate riders
who see that their experience
happened outside of their volition
beyond their conception

**** the creative experience;
despite all preparation
is really only a sensation
an integration
of a deeper voice
leaving us no choice
but to put pen to paper
and let the process unfold
because these stories must be told
with music and colors and feelings
that never grow old


WHAT'S THE SECRET OF CREATIVITY?

**What's the secret of a creativity?
when created so profoundly
that it carries on infinitely

**a creation so bold
that it never grows old

**a creative spark
that lights up all hearts
who are blessed to see
how it defies entropy
and how it remains
for posterity

**a pro-creation
that turns two into one
and one into two
a secret known
to only the chosen few

**a re-creation
that turns two into four
and so many more

**a co-creation
that fuses with the Holy One
and elevates
all that that's done

**What's the secret of creativity?
Only the chosen few
can feast on the holy dew
and the Atik Yomin
until it will all be seen
and seen by all
and creativity's secret
will be revealed
with the Messianic call


WHEN YOU STUDY THE CREATOR'S WAYS

**When you study
the Creator's ways
you may see whole new ways of being
and whole new ways of tapping into your heart,
soul and mind

**you might find a stairwayto Heaven
a cosmic pathway to see
in an ever-increasing way
that all there really is is His Majesty surrounded by bliss

**you might find
that every new step you set out on
in life is one step closer to a place
and time where all will be
in perfect harmony

**you might find
that seeing the end
right from the start
will open up a path
for you to walk
though a path
that will effortlessly
unfold itself for you

**you might find
that constriction
is really the key
to expansion
---an expansion
that allows you to see reality
in it's fullness
in it's allness

**you might find
that time
takes on
a whole new meaning
intriguing your essential being
when the past
and the future
and the present
converge
and surge you
to a sublime
primal place
above space
and time

**you might find
that in every breath
you take
and in every move
you make
an inner voice
is guiding the way
until that glorious day comes
where His Name
will be One


THE POETRY OF THE CREATIVITY OF SONG

Dear songsters….dear never go wrongsters….song is in the air …song is everywhere song is where you let it in …and when you do ---you can see through the hard shell of of songlessness….and once you've tasted this---you will long for the sacred song ---the song that bespeaks your soul--- the song that will guide you where to go…..that song that will never go away---that song that illuminates the way---through the chaos and confusion…that song will eliminate all the illusions that spin around in your head…that song will raise you from the dead ---and will sing the story of your life instead and will saturate your whole being and lead you to the tunnel's end ---so listen closely to this song poetry and maybe you will

come to hear your inner voice that is trying to set you free and then come to see that your soul and all of reality is singing to you constantly ….eternally

LISTEN TO YOUR VOICE

*** listen to your voice
whispering to you in between the lines
the lines of wasted words
not allowing to be heard
the ever-so-subtle messages
of the Divine
fusing with your voice
in between the lines

***listen to your voice
begging you to speak out
what's really on your mind
not that actor reading the lines
while this true voice of mine
just gets drowned out
time after time

***listen to your voice
that overflowing resonation
that channeled inspiration
that heart and soul articulation
struggling to teach you the truth
of who you are
and what you must do
if you only could move aside
and let the One Above
speak through you


SING YOUR SONG ABOUT LIFE



*sing your song about life

raise up your voice

and let your heart speak

of all of the ups and downs

and smiles and frowns and a thousand nuances

that only you notice all around you

and articulate the truths and lies

the laughter and sighs that will be expressed

in your masterpiece song about life



*sing your song about humanity

raise up your voice

and let your heart speak freely

of all of the paupers and Kings

and wars and peace

and a thousand nuances

that only you can see all around you

and articulate the hopes and frustrations

the deceptions and frustrations

the beauty and insanity

that will be expressed in your masterpiece

song about humanity



sing your song about Creation

raise up your voice

and let your heart speak with elation

of all of the wonders and miracles

that the Holy One has planted

into the fabric of reality

and everything that you

hear and see

let them come alive freely

with a thousand nuances

of divine synchronicity

that only you can notice

because you are

the one to give voice

and you therefore

have no choice

but to articulate

and celebrate

the awesomeness

of it all

and all that you will see

and all that you saw

that will be expressed

in your masterpiece

song about Creation

THE TUNNEL SONG

where did it all begin?

this drive inside

this drive

that makes him come alive

this drive that won't leave him alone

tonight

or any other night


a constant innovation

a non-stop beckoning for inspiration

what are the roots of all else that came after

what's driving him to the extent

that all else does not really matter

He recalls that mind altering sound

in the drainage tunnels at the edge of town

the colors, the laughter

the fear

that he may get caught

down here

that he'd be better off if he did not go

down here

but he doesn't care

because the sweetness hides

the need for fight or flight tonight

and leaves him craving for more

and so he walks out the door


and he's led

by an unconscious predilection

a voice barely audible

points him in the same direction

that he always winds up going

without ever knowing

why

but all he can do is sigh

and the tunnel light

burns so bright

into the night

into the eternal night

of his life

and he can't stop now

and he knows somehow

that he never will

and the tunnel song

is playing still

is playing still


THE SOUL SINGS ALWAYS

*** *The soul sings always
she knows not of higher of lower
of ready of not ready
and when we listen closely
than we can sing along
a never ending song

*** *The soul sees primal light
at all hours of day and night
she allows in unfiltered infinite love
and when we see
what she sees
at the very least
we'll always be able to see
a glimpse of ecstasy

*** *The soul is always engaged
in holy discourse
and the messages
she constanly shares
and when we speak from the soul
we can reveal the deepest secrets
of why we are where we are
and where we can go from here

*** *The soul is at one
with the Holy One at all times
in all ways
and when we turn our attention completely
to the ratzo vshov
to the to and fro oscillation
of the soul's divine illumination
then we will see clearly
that every situation
that life sends our way
is the best possible place
that we can be


SACRED SONG SATURATES HIS WHOLE BEING


sacred music is

the dark path of the lover

who can think of no other


sacred song saturates

his entire being

and hypnotizes

all who feel

just a taste

of what he's feeling


he knows that

the music is

the only sacred space

that can lead him

out of the pain-filled place

from a life lived in mediocrity

into a dimension of ecstasy

from a jail cell fraught with weariness

into a pristine sense of devaikus

a majestic kingdom of mystical experience



and he feels it so deeply

that he left explicit instructions

that there are to be

absolutely no interruptions

and at the same time

he is never to be left alone

for fear that in his musical

elevation of the soul

he would inadvertently let go

of the attachment

of his body

to his soul





THE NIMBA SONG

A young couple

in the jungle

sing to one another

the song of young lovers

a child is conceived

and this song

is the first thing

she hears

upon being

born into

this life

a song

protecting

this infant

from trouble and strife


a child grows up

with a song

cursing through

her veins

protecting her from the

cold and the rain


and when her time comes

to make her away

into the world of love

she will sing her song

to her chosen one

and they will conceive

and a brand new song-story has begun


and when her time

comes to let go of her life

the way that I've heard it described

is that the elders of the tribe

surround her all night long

and sing to her--- her special song



A FEW POETIC IMAGES OF THE DEEPNESS OF LIFE

Dear deep sea divers….fully aware alivers ….seekers of a truth that penetrates this deceptive world of liars….impassioned desire-ers of deeper explanations ..of mind blowing interpretations…. of the pnimiyus soulful essence of life …don't ever fall into the abyss of the hum drum…life has so much more in store for some……..especially you-- –my beloved believers in the preciousness of a smile or a word or a feeling … …with you –I recover the enthusiasm of my youth…for you—I share my poetic truth

AND A CLOCK ON THE WALL SPOKE TO HER TODAY

***she moved through her day
just like she's moved through
so many days before

***no one and no thing
seemed to be different
or unusual today

***she walked
by a window on the path
and saw her reflection
and stopped and she saw___

***she saw beneath the reflection
that she reflects to the world
she saw beneath the image
that dominates her imagination
she saw beneath the limitations
that limit her comings and goings

***and a clock on the wall
spoke to her today
in a way
that it had never done before
and she knew now
that her time
and her soul
now had a new motivation
a new realization
full of urgency
and inspiration

***and every step
she now took
on the road of life
was her first
and her last
never to be repeated
and she would never again
be defeated
by the monotony
because she discovered
the mystery
and the eternity
of every breath
and every sight
and every thought


EYES

open your eyes
to someone else's eyes
see their eyes seeing
see their eyes being
mesmerized
tantalized
by the mystery
playing itself out
just behind their eyes
in the space
where perception
meets conception
in the space
that the light
highlights intention
open your eyes
and realize
that your eyes
are the windows
of your soul
showing you
what you know
and don't yet know
showing you
that your desires
are revealed inside
your eyes
for anyone
who has eyes
to see

INSIDE OF A SMILE

inside of a smile
is a world of supernal joy

inside of an embrace
is a world of endless love

inside of a glance
is a world of the wisest foresight

inside of a decision
is a world of crystal clear clarity

inside of a feeling
is a world of heart-filled wisdom



IN MEMORY OF MY BEST FRIEND
[**who passed away years ago but is so often with me**]

*****I'll meet you there
said the man
from the other side
to his best friend
on this side
before fearlessly
and terrifyingly
taking the leap
to the great unknown
to the endless beyond

****You come up
in my heart and mind's eye
all the time
my life-long partner
of passionate life-embracing
of heart-filled sharings
of articulate genius
You come up inside me
in the middle of my muse
in the midst of my ruse
in the courage that I draw upon
from your memory
and in the dare
that your image
enables me to take

**** Two friends on a wild ride
through time
through our days and nights
through the youth and maturity
of our lives
When I see you
in the still of the night
When I hear your voice
in the stars of the sky
I come to realize
that G-d writes the script
We just act out our parts
but sometimes
if we keep our eyes open wide
we come to realize
that we are sent
the rarest of gifts
to help us survive
to empower us to thrive
Thank you
for being my best man

A FEW POEMS ABOUT GRABBING THAT RARE MOMENT

Dear fellow recognizers of that rare once in a lifetime moment----that explosive time that can transform your entire life…that opportunity that comes along once in a blue Moon----sooner or later peeks out at you and with a mischievous look in it's eye, whispers to you—''Hey, how would like to give it a try?"----and actually it's a do or die offer –and if you refuse---you lose—or to put it in a nicer way—you—by default—choose to live out your days in a monotonous way----so don't let it slip away---a few poems may help you realize a new way to see such rare opportunities

YOU WERE CREATED FOR THIS

****and those rare moments

when the words

pour out of you

faster than you

can imagine

and you have to say

your peace

and you are on the verge of tears

and you cannot stop

absolutely not

because it is for these

rare moments

that you have been waiting

all your life

you were created for this

and all the connections

are made

and all of the

mind's referential processes

and associative intensiveness

have been waiting for these

rare moments

****and the love

comes pouring

out of you too

like the ancient desert

dried up river bed

that fills up in all of it's ancient glory

with the winter flood

it is the most glorious sight

and when we are gifted with a visit

of one of these rare moments

we must not lose a drop

because--who knows--

perhaps it is this

that we and the Universe

and everyone we know

have been waiting for

from time immemorial



AND TODAY WE DARE TO START LIVING

**and we've been pretending

that life waits around the corner

hiding waiting patiently

in some dark corner of our being

**and if you're seeing what I'm seeing

and if you're feeling what I'm feeling

then take my hand and I'll lead you

on a journey across this land

of opportunity if you dare

**and we fearlessly leap into the unknown

and let go and give it over to The One

and dare to trust the process

**and I dare and you dare to let go

of these habitual chains

of these same old games

**and today we decide to start living

A NEW BEGINNING

a new beginning

a new process unfolds

Grab the opportunity

to elevate your reality

and dedicate the beginning

of this new beginning

to the One

who with the power

of Beginning

Created All

without a flaw

and you will find

that from the beginning

till the end

this new beginning

will be the holiest

thing you've ever

set your eyes on



and so it goes

for all of those

who dare to see

that when they free

all their beginnings

into becoming holy beings

then they will be

partners with HE

who spoke

and the world

came into being



A FEW POEMS SEEKING TO TAP INTO CREATIVE INSPIRATION AND GENIUS ***dear fellow pursuers of true creative inspiration and genius…we step into a time of creative being ….and in the depth of each and every one of us lies a unique creative voice that waits to be tapped…please speak to me from your creative essence...please speak to me from your emotional essence........please speak to the world from your allness.....please speak ----the masters of speech and feelings and creativity await your precious words----know that they will be heard on high and in the lives of all those passing by your articulations-----your essence soul heart creative speak will awaken those soul family relatives in a relatively profound way---so please let us all hear what you have to say------let's hope and pray--- that these poetic offerings can begin to tap into that voice inside

WHAT'S THE SECRET OF CREATIVITY? **What's the secret of a creativity? when created so profoundly that it carries on infinitely **a creation so bold that it never grows old **a creative spark that lights up all hearts who are blessed to see how it defies entropy and how it remains for posterity

**a pro-creation that turns two into one and one into two a secret known to only the chosen few **a re-creation that turns two into four and so many more **a co-creation that fuses with the Holy One and elevates all that that's done **What's the secret of creativity? Only the chosen few can feast on the holy dew and the Atik Yomin until it will all be seen and seen by all and creativity's secret will be revealed with the Messianic call

LIFE AS A WHOLE IS A CREATIVE PROCESS *life as a whole is a creative process from birth to death and beyond from day to night an inner light lighting up our lives

*and there are new ways of being and new ways of seeing that always are vying for our attention suggestions of re-invention and new dimensions to be explored to be adored by the discerning few who step up to try something new when there's a chance that the view from this new angle will allow them to untangle lifetimes of confusion and intrusion and illusion



THE CREATIVE EXPERIENCE ****the creative experience channels it's way into our hearts forges a path in the dark ***the creative experience awakens the slumbering giant who resides deep inside ... a giant of innovation waiting to be bestowed with endless inspiration *** *the creative experience humbles the fortunate riders who see that their experience happened outside of their volition beyond their conception **** the creative experience; despite all preparation is really only a sensation an integration of a deeper voice leaving us no choice but to put pen to paper and let the process unfold because these stories must be told with music and colors and feelings that never grow old

SPEAK TO ME ***speak to me from your allness speak to me from your silence speak to me from your heart speak to me of things you've seen speak to me of hopes that you've hidden away ***speak to me until the words unravel speak to me from a deeper level speak to me of your profound insights speak to me of your hidden desires speak to me from the recesses of your subconscious ***speak your way into consciousness speak to me words and flashes of brilliance speak to me of as yet undiscovered dimensions speak to me in wave-lengths of timeless soul-ing speak to me of your unmistakable knowing covered dimensions speak to me in wave-lengths of timeless soul-ing speak to me of your unmistakable knowings

STEP INSIDE *step inside of your innermost-ness peel away the layers *strip away the façade you won't need that anymore not in this place not in this sacred space not when you truly face the essence of who you are *step outside of these rooms these rooms that have deluded you these masquerades that have intruded on your truth these charades that have polluted your youth external choices foreign voices be relentless cut them out with the sharpest knife it's what you've been wanting to do your entire life *step inside my friend the water's fine immerse yourself into the healing water let the angelic voices permeate your spirit venture closer to the precipice look out into the vastness jump off the edge free-fall into the void with full trust the hands of déjà vu will catch you just like they have a thousand times before what are you waiting for?! *step inside of this holy place you're the hope of the human race



A FEW TALES OF THOSE RARE ONES WHO HAVE TAPPED INTO THEIR ENDLESS CREATIVITY Dear creative forces of nature…….dear explorers of ancient civilizations of creativity within ------discoverers of hidden creative manifestations with Him showing you what it's all about----enticers of the non-stop stream of new ways of being----new riders of the new age---an age that our elders teach us to keep turning the page ---until the resonation is unmistakable----until the clarity is unbreakable----and the fullness of life with the fullness of possibilities enchants you ---romances you ---constantly---and you are always re-creating your reality…and your voices speaks from the very essence of creativity and opens up our eyes to see that we too can live out such magical possibilities ------maybe this poetry can help us see this fantasy turned into brand ways to see……
