The Buddha

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not
believe simply because it has been handed down for many
generations. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken
and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is
written in Holy Scriptures. Do not believe in anything merely on the
authority of Teachers, elders or wise men. Believe only after careful
observation and analysis, when you find that it agrees with reason
and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all. Then accept
it and live up to it.” ~~Buddha

Into the Forest Green

Sitting in the darkness
Coffin lid slammed shut
Screaming at the top of my lungs
But no one can hear

All of this is lies
Filling up your head
Religion and opium numbs you
So nothing else is said

I tell you...you are free
I tell you..you are free
Living in the past
Of someone else's decree

Walk out of your darkness
Into the forest green
And you will find your true Lover
She will greet you in the trees

Yes, Greet you in the trees
Ancient groves and rock hewn rings
Dancing in the darkness
Beneath the silver moon filled sky

We are one with Nature
There is no divide

Entombed in your own sin
You made up in your head
Just let it all go
In the silence, you'll hear it said

Dance with me, yeah dance with Me
I will show you the path..to Ecstasy
Togetherness and Love
No shame filled hearts

Just Humans being Humans
It's where it all starts
Afraid to be yourselves
But you know it in your hearts

She has a thousand names
But I know Her as one
Searching deep into my heart
Mother on my lips..and She says "Son"
