Brian Darnell: Appomattox
http://ghamelayoga.blogspot.com/2015/01/appomattox.html
Saturday, January 10, 2015. I die daily, said Paul. Dynamic is the process,. Suggested Eruch, surrender chosen freely,. Repeatedly at every critical juncture. Yes, but surely eventually strung. As an endless rosary beyond. The clutches of time and self;. Seamless union, a tightly clasped fetter;. I want to surrender like Lee at Appomattox,. Stripped of rank and authority,. At the mercy of forces I have long opposed,. My world in dissolution and ruin,. Blood and smoke, silence, cessation,. Jai Baba, Brian.

Brian Darnell: Apparently, fearless
http://ghamelayoga.blogspot.com/2014/10/apparently-fearless.html
Saturday, October 25, 2014. Rumi likened the soul to a bird. Of beating wings,. And (fear's) inevitable,. A thrust and recovering -. Fear and repugnance, joy. And inspiration and back again. In pursuit of truth and beauty. And the leave-taking gamble. Of the solitary perch. Of nestled desire and pleasure,. Our final approach being,. Apparently, fearless -. Of a gliding, unalloyed posture,. Wings stretched to their limit,. Braced and unbending,. Our flight's path and pattern. From beak to feather beyond.

Brian Darnell: Walking shoes
http://ghamelayoga.blogspot.com/2015/08/walking-shoes.html
Saturday, August 8, 2015. One day I will put on my walking shoes. Maybe the house will burn down. Or I'll be tossed out into the street;. Maybe it will be wanderlust,. Cabin fever, the mortgage foreclosed. I'll become a fugitive, a seeker then -. That lengthy, arduous journey. Becoming my life and what will be left of me? Nothing more towards the end. Than my walking shoes, the next step,. One foot wearily in front of the other,. Bearing my soul towards the threshold. Where sanctity dictates, of course,.

Brian Darnell: To question a faith
http://ghamelayoga.blogspot.com/2015/08/to-question-faith.html
Saturday, August 8, 2015. To question a faith. To question a faith. To learn of truth, peruse. The discourses of Meher,. Scriptures of Jesus, the other Avatars;. Read the enlightened Ones but not aloud. Not aloud. Hush! Only chalked up in the human heart;. Tainted upon the lips of anyone. Short of sainthood; recited. From ignorance and to advantage,. Persuasion, impression,. Impassioning desires and devotion;. To prove someone in error or unworthy,. To question a faith, a path chosen or otherwise,. NOW A...

Brian Darnell: The ashram's ox
http://ghamelayoga.blogspot.com/2012/06/ashrams-ox.html
Friday, June 22, 2012. The ashram’s ox. The ashram’s ox, Rajah, wandered away. Two disciples were assigned to recover it –. Ramdas plunged headlong into the task –. Tracking down every lead;. Interviewing all parties;. Organizing searches into the surrounding area. Shamaji wandered out alone,. Bellowing the ox’s name. Months passed without success. Shamaji, the itinerant madman,. Calling, “Rajah! Eventually, like the ox, wandered away. Ramdas became a valuable fixture in the ashram. Jai Baba, Brian.

Brian Darnell: It takes a death
http://ghamelayoga.blogspot.com/2015/08/it-takes-deax.html
Sunday, August 16, 2015. It takes a death. It takes a death. It takes a death, often. To bring us down to earth,. To the dove's heart a blow,. An arrow bestirring the dust,. A crucifixion of some sort,. Whether on rough timbers. Or the rotting beams of old bones,. Our common little crucifixes. Built humbly upon the rickety bridges. Of nothingness but also revealing. Human qualities of valor and gallantry -. For how else may God be brave. Long enough to glimpse: Everyone. Nothing to find but the hidden One.

Brian Darnell: The bars of this poetry
http://ghamelayoga.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-bars-of-this-poetry.html
Saturday, January 5, 2013. The bars of this poetry. The bars of this poetry. I talk about Your silence. The irony does not escape me) -. Knowing nothing, chattering along. While You hold Your tongue,. Mouth containing universes,. And motion with Your eyes. You wish me to follow. When will I get the hint? When will the world get the hint? This snickering, shouting,. Riotous and blasphemous world? I quote Your words. Lord, let me quote Your silence. And leave behind forever. The tongue of my conceit,.

Brian Darnell: Baby steps
http://ghamelayoga.blogspot.com/2014/11/baby-steps.html
Saturday, November 29, 2014. These aren't just poems. But baby steps (let us pray). Upon the bedimmed terrain,. For composer as well as those,. Perhaps, who read them and care. To share for a while the path. If there is a path), the gathered notes;. The incoming mail. Correct me if I'm wrong,. If you've jumped ahead of the plodding gait. Though, I expect no answer. To suit these (not at all) endless,. Internal, expedient musings,. Longing deeper and richer each step. For the clarity and strength. A Jewel...
