Weekly MMM - Set List - Profound Intimacy - August 2021





THE POETRY OF THE INTIMACY OF EMBRACING ALL THAT THERE IS

Dear embracers of everything—ness….you never miss a beat…you never overlook a thing….all that comes your way is precious—and like a euphoric lover hopelessly hooked on the one they love---you show yourself to the One Above---and He does the same to you….and the view from that sacred vantage point is breathlessly beautiful----and though one might feel this is just all too much too grasp---all this everythingness---but truth be told---the intimacy of embracing all there is--- is the most profound intimacy that could possibly be—and life in it's totality will completely fall ------in love with thee-----and your reflection will constantly appear to you and to everything and everyone else ---and THIS will be your ongoing mantra---and the river of life will row your boat –and all you have to do is smile and float and watch the river flow----and surf the ocean of life's waves and allow your mouth to say the first thing that comes into your mind ---and surrender to the sweetness that you will find all of the time



REFLECTION



see your reflection;

in all that takes place

in all the faces you meet

in the love they share

in the thoughts in your mind

in the feelings you feel

in the unexpected twists and turns

in the miracles that only you can see

in the words that come to your ears

in the signs and hints presented to you

in the knowing glances surrounding you

in the subtle messages expanding you

in the fearlessness embracing you

THIS

* ***she closed her eyes to physical sight

and her thoughts began to take flight

and she could see how all that was

becomes all that will be …..

****and she leapt into a place of infinity

because there was no other place that she wanted to be

and the infinity liberated her thoughts

and her words and actions too

and it was all that she could do

from disappearing and reappearing as something new

and all the scatteredness unified

and the chaos became rectified …

****and she heard a voice

somewhere deep in the recesses of her mind

whisper to her one word and the word she heard was THIS

and she then knew that THIS is bliss



WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW



watching the river flow

everything goes

everything flows

no one knows

where it all goes



the river flows to the sea

so do we

the sea of wisdom

the sea of life

the sea of eternity

that's where we'll all be

the river knows all the secrets

of what was

and what will be



if you listen real close

you can hear the river's call

it speaks to one and all

if you listen very closely

the river is life

life is the river



and the flow

is the healing

and the secret is feeling

that this too will pass

this too will flow me

will grow me

will show me

that the flow like life

goes on forever





the river will set you free

the river will let you see

that all that that was

still is

and will forever be



WAVES

Ahhhh...to be an intuitive channel

channel-surfing all the waves

in the ocean of life

the waves!!

Can you see them now

Can you feel them now

And I constantly am surfing

through all the places

that I want to go

And all the things

that I want to do

Let me be a channel\ surfer

to articulate them to everyone

and to You ...

all the healing needs to come down

Let me be worthy enough

to be the channel

to draw the healing down

into here---

into this here and now-ness

into this time and space bliss



And all the heart feelings

that we want to channel

into this room to channel

deeply into this room

into our hearts and souls

into where I am & where I've been

and into where I am going



And all the openings

which we can see

Help me help me

Be a channel

for all those openings

All those openings

Help me see from one to another end

See from one end to the other end ..

and see a world

that never ends

to see the past, present and the future

and surf that wave

for all it's worth





I ACCEPT YOU



***I accept you

for who you are

and you accept me

for who I am



***Who can really , truly,

make such a claim?!

Especially when it's directed

towards all that G-d

sends our way?!



***Words sneak in;

like If only____

Couldn't it be like this____

Why me____?



*** I accept you for who you are...

There is no greater love

There is no greater bond



***yet... we walk down the path of life

constantly wanting

needing

yearning



for it be otherwise



*** perfect as is

is a state of bliss

for those who can dismiss

the need for it be

something other than this

and when we say to G-d

I accept You

and all that You do

then G-d says to us

I accept you too



IN THE LAND OF SUBMISSION

~~~~here in the land of submission

we are given permission

to let it all go



~~~~all the voices are in harmony

all the choices are in synchronicity

all the love is shared freely

all the smiles are given effortlessly



~~~~ and you and me

can finally see

at the dawn's rising

a realizing

of all

we have been dreaming of





Dear explorers of the extra-ordinary connections that are available to us –at every step of the---whispering to us

from Inside of the interpersonal colors that are on display---dear enchanted Gatherers of the right words to say—at the right time—let poetry and rhyme speak through you—entice you --to relate to the extra-ordinary way that you relate to one another ---allow fine wine and exotic spices to enhance your extra-ordinary connections---let your internal and external senses light up the unknown path of the heart ---listen to the echo inside of your head---and the words that are said to each other in the dead of night—-lighting up a pristine light –-inside the eyes of the one that only you are privileged to know---shining a light from deep in your souls ----showing you both the secret way you must go ---the destination known only to those who know how to exchange cryptic information—and illuminated resonations ---and other-worldly interpretations-–and intimate sensations---and you will both be able to enhance endlessly, magically, effortlessly your extraordinary connection



AN EXCHANGE OF WORDS

**when they first met

she knew who he was

just by the way that he spoke his words

**and he knew that the way

that she spoke restored sanity

to his chaotic world

**and she knew

that the answers he spoke

in response to her questions

would transform her life

from trouble and strife to calmness and peace

**and he knew

that when he told her

all that he's going through

her words of prayer would pull him through

**and she knew that his holy words

created holy vessels and angel's wings

and could turn anything into holy beings



THE ECHO



***in tune ...

that's what the echo

inside of his head said



***in tune

with life's unraveling melody

inside of him

alone with no one to bother him

but nevertheless

he did realize

that there was someone

someone he never knew

who was listening

someone he never knew

even existed before

and his soul kept calling out for him

to reach out

[*and the soul is such a subtle voice

most people can't hear it at all*]

but the inner call was insisting

and he gave up resisting ***and he sent out a cry

from the depths of his life

and the cry came from a place of limitless love

and timeless yearning

and a passion

that has never stopped burning

in a hidden place inside of him

even before he could recall when

and the cry echoed

from one side of humanity

to the other until one special one

---- one he never knew before

came knocking at his door

and with mystifying grace

shook him out of his comfort place

***and she told him

that she has waited for his cry

since the beginning of time

and for rest of their lives

all they could do

was to try to realize

the unfathomable miracle

that had reached out to them

right on time



HER EYES ARE A WINDOW INTO HIS SOUL

**Her eyes were a window

Though which he could see

Into his soul

** Only in her eyes

Could he see a place called Beyond

a place called Birth

a place called Paradox

a place called Infinity

a place called Ratzon

a place called Passion

a place called Benevolence

a place called Consciousness

**And when her eyes looked

into his eyes

she could see all the places

she has been before this life

and all the places she will be

after this life

and all the places

that can only be seen

in this life

to one who knows

that his eyes

are the window to her soul


THE LANGUAGE OF RESONATION

**and when the words

rolled across his tongue

and reverberated upon his lips

he knew whether it was going to be this

that he prayed for

or something else altogether

**resonation

a language we need

to get through our day

to see underneath the words that people say

a language that shows us the way

at least that's the gut feeling

I have discovered when I peeled back the layers

and stopped listening to the nay sayers

**resonation

there are no graduation ceremonies but I have a reason to believe

that this is the mechanism that will conceive

a future illumination a future education

a world-wide dedication to it's mastery to it's majesty

come with me if you dare



FROM THE SILENCE –I CALL TO YOU

from the silence

from the utter pristineness

of the holy silence

from the untouchable sereneness

of the knowing silence

from the crystal clear cleanness

of the sanctified silence

from the unknowable mystique-ness

of the unending silence

I call to you and when I do

the words that come through

touch the deepest part of you


REFLECTION


All he longed for was to have another glance at her other worldly beauty

All he could see was her silent mystique,

All he could taste was her other worldly allure,

All he could think of was her untold depths

All he wanted to know was who she really was

All he saw at all times of day and night was her reflection in everything

All he desired from morning till night was to bask in her light

All he dreamed of when he lay down was the time when she would be with him

All he wanted in life was for her to agree to be his wife

All he experienced when he saw people's eyes –was hers staring back at his

And his love

Was so powerful

That she and he

Became one

Immersed in a love

That few could believe

could actually be so profound

And no one

Could stay the same

Nor remain unchanged

Whenever these lovers came around


SHE MAKES YOU COME ALIVE


***she makes you come alive
she extricates you
from your real
and imagined
chains
she is a vision
constantly waving at you,
enticing you
at the edge of your consciousness
compelling you from afar
to have a closer look
to jump into the bliss
of her allure
of her demure



***and upon further investigation
into the imagination
of her wonder-filled-ness
that's when you realize
that the original deepness
that you thought that she possesses
was only a drop in the sea
of the multi-dimensional reality
from which she sees everything
but she hides it all from view
and lets you think
that the real attraction is you



***the point is this;
when someone lets you know
that your words
and your thoughts
and your heart
and your soul
allows them to be
enables them to see
that's when you realize
that it is actually she ,
and not me ,
who holds the key
who holds all the keys
to set you free


IN THIS PLACE


***in this place we only want to connect, to bond, to fuse, to interconnect, to unify all of the scatteredness to transform all of the partial-ness into wholeness

***in this place we are sanctified and right and left, and dark and light, and day and night and heaven and earth all come together forever

***in this place we say yes instead of no. we say go don't stop ever

***in this place we need nothing we are complete what we have once concealed is now revealed we can see clearly that the Moon unites with the Sun and that two become one


SENSES


Senses all ignited

Aligned with soul

Aligned with yours

Aligned in perfect Interconnection

**He sees the texture of her touch

With a low bass-drum beat

Beckoning him to come close

**She hears the color of his aura

With encompassing light

Igniting her imagination

**He smells the familiar sounds

Of her knowing glance

Recognizing that her place is here

By his side

**She touches the aroma of his love

That softly sends forth

A waft of a scented trace

That hints of a longed-for embrace

**He hears the visions of old

Daring him to be so bold

To ask her to take a chance

And join him in the sacred and ancient dance


AWAKENED


***He says to her "You have awakened me In every way Possible, My love"



***And she says to him, "I imagine you When you are not here And it awakens me In every possible way"



***And he says to her, "When you are here By my side, All of the sounds and sights Of the World Serenade us both In rapturous harmony



***And she whispers to him, "When you are Here with me, Our Heavenly and earthly beings Intertwine in bliss

And we become Awakened To the wonder and oneness Of it all



***Then they touch Each other's soul Lightly Passionately Lovingly


TRANCE


**And the exchange begins

His words

Her response



**Allure sets in

Her glance

His blush



**A short silence Is broken

By breathing

Hers

His

Theirs



**The dance is made up of Semi-dances

Quasi-dances



**All are Preparations

All are interpretations

All are Intoxications

All are dances of Romance

** And the trance sets in

Deep into their bones

Penetrating their defenses



**and they know

That their Trance dances

Are only a fore-taste

Of the ultimate dance to come

When their dance will show these two

How to become one


NOTHING STANDS IN THE WAY OF DESIRE


~~~~~'nothing stands in the way of desire'
these were the words she told herself
when she realized
that the walls that she had built herself
had blocked her life
from the view of anyone new
only the few and far between
would she ever let in

~~~~nothing stands in the way of desire
but what was her true desire?
she needed to know
because she was in dire straits
because he was waiting at her front gate
and he didn't seem to want to go away
what did she want
and what was she to do?
all that she had to hold on to
was the way she had gotten herself used to
since who knows when
to keep her safe outside and in
but now an auspicious sign
a rare find was knocking at her door
to let him in
'please let me in'
were the words he whispered ,
but with intensity
this stranger full of mystery
and allure
she wasn't sure what to do
because for the first time
in a very long time
someone very special
was knocking on her door
and asking her for more

~~~~~and she dove in deep inside to her desire
to the desire inside of her desire
and she felt a holy fire
begin to ignite her
inside and out and she let out
a silent shout
from the depths of her being'
because she was now seeing
who she was
and what she truly desired
and so she stepped outside
and opened up the door
unafraid anymore
and she never felt higher
now that she knew
that nothing stands in the way of desire


THE POETRY OF UNION


Dear deepest seekers….farthest reachers….clearest knowers….constant go-ers--- into the realm of the One ---there is nothing or no one else ---all else pales in comparison ----and the Sun and the Moon stop what they are doing --- and lend an hear to try to hear every word that is spoken here in this sacred gathering ---because everyone knows [at least potentially] that the culmination of this intimacy –is to arrive at the shores of the One----to say right out loud –that you are the only one I know---there is nowhere else to go….and when you do –then what comes into play---is a most magnificent display ----a drive to re-unite---to reunite here and now in the anonymous night ---where everyone sets their sites on the oneness---the oneness evolving from the unconsciousness into full consciousness---and all of existence joins in the celebration---and all separation disappears ----a full integration occurs-- inside of this most profound unification


YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE I KNOW


there is nowhere else to go

you are the only one I know

your words are truth

they soothe my soul

they draw me to you

like the dark to the light

when it realizes the difference

between wrong and right

and when I realize that I am nothing at all

that's when I begin to hear your call

and all I want is you

no one or nothing else

will do

and I've come from so far away

to be here with you

every day seemed liked years

to get past my deepest fears

and now I am here

there is no place I'd rather be

to me now this is crystal clear

please take me with you

into your endlessness

into your eternity

into your infinity

there is no place I'd rather see

nor will there ever be


AN UNSTOPPABLE NOTION


a seed that set into motion

an unstoppable notion

that brought us

to the same time and space coordinates

in a seemingly ordinary way

but anyone with eyes can see

that the extra-ordinary is what was at play

there can be no other way

to explain this magnificent display

and this unconscious drive to reunite

is what guided us though the darkest nights

and our ultimate harmony

I eventually come to see

is what was driving me

our electricity is what was inspiring me

to go beyond what I never knew could be

but now I know

as you sit here beside me


THE UNCONSCIOUS DRIVE TO RE-UNITE


long lost souls in the anonymous night

generations and reincarnations of endless flight

and yet here we are

amidst myriads of stars

and providential circumstances

from near and far

and we were simultaneously

selecting a path

a selection composed of hidden inclinations

all carefully engineered

by the One who sees and hears

all there is to see

with ultimate grace and delicacy

and He's hiding these revelations

from the likes of you and me

but fully aware in His conscious way

of the seed that He planted inside of us

firmly embedded into our unconsciousness


THE MOMENT OF UNION


the moment of union

when all existence unites inside

all yearning

all suffering converges

and what emerges

is the realization

that there is only love everywhere

embracing us face to facing us

if we'd only close our eyes and see

what only the celebrators of synchronicity

the inner sanctum partakers of unity

can see


NO SEPARATION


no separation

complete integration

he and she embracing the mystery

intertwined in perfect harmony

a kiss of bliss

sinks them deep into an altered state of consciousness

since she receives from him completely

he perceives what she needs to be

and reaches deep within

to reveal to her what has been hidden

for what seems like forever

she sees him in the now

and how his past got him here

and how the now

will lead him into his future

he shows her –her special quality

and how that quality

is exactly what he

and everyone else needs to be

complete

she knows that all his victories

are her own

and all his falls

call out to her urgently

to make it all be ok again

and all that separates them

from each other

they share with one another

until they realize

that there is no other one

for each other

and that all the separation

is just a figment of their imagination

an opportunity to truly see

that they are truly the other half of each other's reality

and they slowly but surely

turn the me into we

and this becomes the way

they perceive reality

eternally


AN EXCHANGE OF WORDS


**when they first met

she knew who he was

just by the way that he spoke his words

**and he knew that the way

that she spoke restored sanity

to his chaotic world

**and she knew

that the answers he spoke

in response to her questions

would transform her life

from trouble and strife to calmness and peace

**and he knew

that when he told her

all that he's going through

her words of prayer would pull him through

**and she knew that his holy words

created holy vessels and angel's wings

and could turn anything into holy beings


THE POETRY OF INTIMACY VULNERABILITY AND FULL DISCLOSURE HEALING


dear secret seekers of the healing that can only be found when the walls come tumbling down...when the full disclosure of one's essence ---as vulnerable and scary as it may feel ---is the only way to know someone ------to intimately show someone [including ourselves] who we really are -----and this knowing ---G-d Willing --perhaps--- will lead us back to the knowing that Adam and Eve sought out --in the right time and place and way -------in their search for Eden...let the poetic intimacy, vulnerability and full disclosure healing begin...


FULL DISCLOSURE


**they've learned to speak
a new language
an articulation
of full disclosure

**those days of hiding and fear
are finished and over
now there's no holding back


**their new-found sentiments are creating fresh new tracks
in the virgin snow
in places they've never known

**there's no longer anything
separating her from him
as if it's always been this way
and yet
it's the start of a brand new day


**for the water to truly purify
there must be nothing
separating the body from the water


**for true love to be shared
there must be nothing separating
his soul from hers


WHO AM I TO YOU?


...who am I to you?
asks the timid searcher
in the mirror
[pretending it's her listening]

....He knew
that there would
come a time
when she
would be there
listening to him
drinking in his words deeply
searching his eyes
for the truth
of their timeless connection
[despite the impossible circumstances
that distanced them in this sober reality]

. ....because there comes a time
a 'now or never time'
an 'it's worth the chance of rejection time'
a 'power of vulnerability time'
a 'loss of words time'
a ' certainty that this is destiny time'


TAKING A CHANCE


...and the girl looks up
for the first time
in what seems like years

....and a tear sneaks it's way
down her cheek
and somewhere
off in the distant past
you can hear
a silent scream

...and it seems like
it's too late
for all that now
it seems like
she tried to warn us
but we couldn't
and wouldn't listen ....

...and the pre-dawn song
of a thousand morning birds
attempted to sweeten up
the atmosphere
thanks all the same
but the game
was up
and she had
to move on from here

....but then suddenly
she looks into his eyes
and all at once
they realize
that it's never too late
all closed doors
can be opened
if only you want
them to

....and the girl has learned
a new song
and dances
a new dance
and the slightest smile
almost unnoticeable
raises up
the corner tips
of her hardened lips
and she says
, I'll trust you
you trust me
I'll take a chance
will you?


THE PERFECTION OF IMPERFECTION


**body and soul
left and right
lacking and filling
in and out of the Garden
the heels of Mashiach
it was evening and it was morning
the darkest hour before the dawn
the transient and the eternal

**can you see the pattern?
do you understand
the task at hand?
to be a human
woman or man
one must stand up
to the fleeting cheating demeaning
curve balls of fate
and enter into
the gates of light
and know
that not only
is this all right
but it is the quintessence
of perfect

**because the defect
is the price of admission
and the only way in
is through complete submission
to the awareness
that all that seems wrong
is life's greatest song
and the only way
that you can sing along
is when you know
that perfection's password
is imperfection
and imperfection
is the only road
that leads to perfection


DARING TO SHOW YOUR INNER TRANSPARENCY


***showing yourself
to the world
daring to show
your inner transparency
just because you know
that this 'knowing'
is your destiny
'and your legacy

***Don't worry
let the words
flow freely
they really take on
a life of their own
you do not own them
nor do they own you
they are just
passing through
through a vessel
they feel they know
through a being
of light
that lights up life
with the gift of knowing

***and when
he and she
decided
to show
each other
their inner transparency
that became the moment
that they discovered
true intimacy
that is the moment
that they set themsee
