Our One And Only
Lovely Lonely World

In the growing light of common understanding, human beings are waking and walking and talking together all over the world. We are immigrants to the interior landscape of a sweet implacable revelation: this planet is ours. We know now that our world deeply longs to belong to us- the lovers and givers and sharers and makers. Life itself secretly and openly nourishes the sacred schemes of those who fearlessly encompass all that is and all that must come into being. The thick subconscious spell of ancient conditioning evaporates from minds and hearts opening into the sunlight of our indivisibility. The long terrible grip of historical repetitive motion syndrome weakens perceptibly by the day. In the far-off yet dimly perceivable distance, the spires and great green trees of the City of Peace rise above the grey brown pall of the communal wastelands of the present. Behind us stretches the old age of time when there was room to kill, room to ruin, room to push and crush and shove aside and plunder. Before us stretches an altogether different prospect. We can see ahead to the realization of the beautiful and rational future we are fashioning by hand, inch by inch, here and now.
 
We understand, finally, that all our human conditions have arisen from unspoken, unawakened and previously unconscious agreements. We are not obliged to continue to generate madness, poverty and destruction for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We ourselves were asleep at all the wheels, which have been turning our human world in tandem, and not at random. Now we emerge from the habitual trance of paralyzed collective will, and knit ourselves together in ever-increasing light and love and power. The wrecking reign of the pinched, parched and predatory is painfully coming to an end. We see them trampling over the corpses of our children. We see them bulldozing the gardens of earthly delights. We see them dangling on the hook of steely-eyed lies, writhing and wriggling in the light of humanity's eyes. And in our awareness is their certain demise.
 
New consciousness must inherit the monumental effects of generations of thoughtless cruelty: the accumulated wages of the ages of ignorance. We admit the evidence; we ignore and deny nothing. We fully accept the reality of innumerable difficulties and inevitable setbacks on the path to manifested maturity. Our species' reconciliation with the whole of existence will be a work so vast that no individual could even begin to imagine the details. Yet together we can and do and will imagine it. We do not minimize the necessary sacrifices ahead, nor naively suppose that the work of externalizing our understanding will be short. The rebuilding of a world is the work of generations. Nevertheless, starting with ourselves, we can see that our common determination is nothing less than to insist on the mending of the broken, the purification of the polluted, the healing of the sick, and the freeing of the enslaved. We begin from where we are, here and now, and we will go on beginning. Until the time comes when our one and only, lovely lonely world, belongs at last to each and every one of us.
 
 
 
ONE
 
 
 
One Life---
 
and the myriad interwoven prismatic reflections
 
intricately moving in place
 
 
 
One Love---
 
condensing into the infinite
 
singularities:
 
these mysteries of individualities
 
 
 
One Light---
 
awakening inside spheres of rapidly vibrating substances:
 
rings-pass-not
 
capturing the uniqueness of the
 
Self-made selves.
 
 
 
Is there an explanation for this?
 
Perhaps only that all our joys
 
and all our sorrows are
 
a single flower
 
whose root lies buried in
 
the heart of the sky
 
 
 
The night and the day being
 
at one in the origin of the two
 
and the lighted mind being wedded forever
 
to the darkness of the still-unknown:
 
the only certain name
 
remaining to any of us is -
 
Longing
 
 
 
There
 
where the past was
 
memory is better than nothing at all
 
But the arrow Now
 
points only beyond itself
 
and ever and always
 
beyond any 'this' or 'here'
 
The point then -
 
is what will come
 
and how we will be together in
 
the as-yet-unmanifested
 
Inevitable
 
 
 
And when that 'then' is 'now'
 
we will be
 
who? and where?
 
 
 
Space is malleable
 
and Time no clock:
 
we will breathe
 
into beautiful shapes
 
these forms of
 
Life and Light and Love
 
which are to come
 
 
 
All minds and hearts and hands
 
now fashion the chalices
 
build the patterns
 
and carefully assemble
 
the multidimensional circuitries
 
 
 
Shall we then be beings
 
of utmost
 
innermost
 
kindliness?
 
 
 
Shall we
 
in the communion of fearless spirits
 
build
 
beautiful worlds?
 
 
 
Shall we become
 
mutually appreciative
 
radiant personas
 
whose masks hide
 
nothing
 
but Love itself?
 
 
 
Life says: YES
 
LABOR FOR THIS
 
 
 
Because there is only the
 
One-and-the-ones
 
Creation is a singleness
 
refracted
 
a vast Unity and
 
The Self-same unity
 
multiplied discrete particular
 
 
 
There is only one
 
number here
 
Counting means -
 
counting how many ones
 
One makes
 
 
 
And what of all
 
our accountings
 
of ourselves and others?
 
 
 
These are One Voice
 
 
 
Who then
 
shall we belittle-
 
who shall we magnify?
 
 
 
To whom shall we
 
explain and defend
 
ourselvesÑ
 
we
 
whose very name is -
 
 
 
The Unfinished One?
