      • 01 This planet is but a bead
      • 02 The first day I met you
      • 03 When you are near
      • 04 I have lost that pen
      • 05 One day on a mountain ridge
      • 06 Fine gold dust
      • 07 While the moon still pulses in the snow
      • 08 Blessed One
      • 09 The deer are grazing in the night grass
      • 10 When the lily blooms
    • Road to the Dark Trees
      • 11 Loon’s cry
      • 12 Road to the Dark Trees
      • 13 There is a canyon for grief
      • 14 In the music we cannot hear
      • 15 Why stand among apple trees
      • 16 The Vedas are still being written
      • 17 Once I dreamed of summer
      • 18 How trees embrace other trees
      • 19 There is a great discourse among trees
      • 20 Winter is the master of mime
      • 21 Much of my life I cannot see
      • 22 It is enough to stand among trees
      • 23 Hey! Go deep into the woods
      • 24 Ten thousand year old meditation
    • The Divine Thief
      • 25 There is a dancer
      • 26 My brother the soul
      • 27 Windows want for us to see through them
      • 28 Mala
      • 29 Why not take a ride in this boat?
      • 30 Bathing in the Ganges
      • 31 Divine Thief
      • 32 Quiet is the Innermost House
  • The Ground We Stand On

When the lily blooms

When the lily blooms in spring
it does not seek another star
or solar system to sustain
the miracle of its existence.
Like the lily living in the Beloved’s garden
I need no other.
Here the pathways of my master’s teachings are endless.
Here all the seasons of my Guru’s touch are revealed.
