“Sub Ek” (All One) 
The form and the formless
The senses emerging and then withdrawing again
The breath rising and falling
The Earth’s transcendence ends where it begins
No mind but inside and outside all emotions
The union of energy and matter undefined
Without an origin before the act and nameless when it sleeps
Beyond the range of all perceptions and limits
Pure creation
You are:
Pure creation
Beyond the range of all perceptions and limits
Without an origin before the act and nameless when it sleeps
The union of energy and matter undefined
No mind but inside and outside all emotions
The Earth’s transcendence ends where it begins
The breath rising and falling
The senses emerging and then withdrawing again
The form and the formless.

“Timeless Truths”
By: Forrest Rivers
The African drum beats
With great rhythm
Kirtan echoes
Through temples of love
Sufi dancers swirl
With ecstatic delight
Gnostic monks pray before
Their savior on the cross
Bodhisattva’s sit cross-legged
Under the tree of life
The names for ONE
May vary
But the range of expressions
Gives light to
The timeless truths
Of our being.

“Faithful Promise”
If I knew, I would
Share the secrets of this Universe
With you
If I could, I would
Voyage with you
To the depths
Of inner wisdom
If I heard that you
Had entered the cave of enlightenment
I would drop to my knees and exalt
This sacred green Earth we walk on
If I saw the light
Of illumination in your eyes
I would sit beneath the Bodhi tree and pray:
For all souls’ deliverance
Into your world
Of seeing One.

“Earth Dance”
The Earth is soft
Beneath your feet
Feeling
Perceiving
You move
To that ancient song
Of your Mother
Within moments
The forest birds
Pipe in
With their chorus
And the crickets too
Express with delight
Their rhythms
Through the night
And the wind howls
As the pitter-patter
Of falling raindrops
Plays percussion
To the ecstatic dance
You are part of
Move,
Child of the Earth
Feel your steps merge
With the wisdom
Of her spirit
That nurtures
And loves us all
Under the open sky
Is where you will find
The bliss of ecstatic union
Now, Go,
Dance and rejoice!
