AIDS SHAMAN

death came to get me, the doctor said:

“in seven years you are surely dead”

death crept around and brought decay

but my life was not about to end that way

open wide – open high

surrendered to earth, rising to sky

death showed me there was more to life

and more to me than the mind bound I

led by the goddess on a path of love

where all things are one and there is always enough

shown I could feel peaceful about the prospect of death

and shown that infinity is reached through the breath

i dropped who i was and became who i am

an infinitely expanding yet still quite small man

who seeks nothing more than to bring love, to bring light

and help my sisterbrothers to understand the dark night

nothing is permanent, though love is the key

turn it and open and we will all come to see

that though hearts may hurt and sometimes break

there is always more love to make

although we may seem to get lost up the path

it’s ourselves we are finding, we’re here to learn our part

I AWOKE TO LIFE THROUGH DEATH

WOKE UP TO SPIRITUALITY THROUGH SEXUALITY

DISCOVERED LOVE CAUSES US TO EVOLVE

REALISED IN ETERNITY WE NEVER GET OLD

Physicists say it, mystics have always said it, ravers take drugs to feel it –

EVERYTHING IS ENERGY

MOVING, CHANGING CONSTANTLY

WE HUMANS ARE ITS CHANNELS- CONDUITS

WE CREATE THE WORLD WE LIVE IN

WE HAVE NOT YET UNDERSTOOD HOW POWERFUL WE ARE

Like children we have enjoyed our toys

Unaware for a long time that we were destroying the planet that enables us to live, using up its resources and wiping out many of its inhabitants

Like madmen we have developed technologies that we can use to destroy ourselves

NOT REALISING WE ARE ALL ONE,

WE COMPETE, WE FIGHT, WE DESTROY

Ignoring the strongest impulse in us –

TO LIVE IN PEACE, TO LOVE, TO CELEBRATE,

How many on earth now want to continue to live the old dramas of conflict?

The earth is in crisis. Time is running out

Voices of peace and compassion must become stronger than those of conflict and hate

OR IT MAY BE TOO LATE
