Pilgrim In The Open Shore
Peregrinando en la Costa Abiertapor Pancho Ramos Stierle
Hoy las nubes y el océano no se distinguen
el horizonte desvanecido
con el ritmo incesante
este respirar se siente sincronizado
con los más grandes pulmones de la Madre Tierra
e inclusive con la danza integral galáctica
la condensación de las nubes del kosmos
en el néctar de la vida
la orilla sonríe con cada ola que regresa
dejando patas de gallo y hoyitos en las mejillas planetarias
si estás consciente de ellas
el corazón se convierte anfitrión
omnipresente se vuelve esta alegría humilde y sencilla
hoy la quietud de las nubes
el movimiento del mar
y esta feliz ola humana condensada
son lo mismo
hoy no hay horizonte
no hay futuro, no hay a dónde ir
sólo el ahora
sólo hoyitos de mejillas y arrugas de la playa sonriente
el suelo marino
un baile cortejando el continente humano
una costa infinita
que se pierde a la distancia
como una escalera que va de regreso al cielo estelar
todo en un instante
hoy la coreografía y la música del agua
en todas sus formas
y las ondulaciones de la vida
este fuego mojado, esta estrella líquida
son una sola cosa
hoy la corazónmente de la Tierra
es una sonrisa alegre y sonora
con mejillas planetarias adoloridas y felices
una risa contagiosa e incontrolable
de amor indivisible

It's the other way around, that is, it's the discovery of diversity within unity. Once upon a time, we humans noticed differences while living in unity; then we translated different to mean separate and lost the sense of all being part of unity; now we are rediscovering unity differentiated into many expressions. I became seriously interested in Buddhism about 15 years ago, joined an ongoing study group, learned/read/listened/reflected/meditated Eastern/Vedantic/unitive wisdom, and grew in appreciation of unity and diversity in unity. Diversity means different. Uniformity means the same. Diversity is pervasive. Every one and every thing is a different expression of one Unity. There is no uniformity even if we think there is or try to impose it.

It is like the formless is manifested in variety of forms-sights, shapes, sounds and colors. How and when do I see it and experience it?
I see it and experience it when I am aware of it without thinking about it, analyzing it, comparing it and contrasting it. In other words when I do not engage my mind dividing and fragmenting the wholeness of it. When I
am mentally still and silent, I become aware of the melody of sounds, the seven colors of the rainbow, different but merging and melting. Everyday I encounter people of different races, different shapes, different ideas and different opinions. When I keep my mind and heart open to empathically understan... [View Full Comment]
