Poetry of Departures
Philip Larkin

Sometimes you hear, fifth-hand,
As epitaph:
He chucked up everything
And just cleared off,
And always the voice will sound
Certain you approve
This audacious, purifying,
Elemental move.

And they are right, I think.
We all hate home
And having to be there:
I detest my room,
It's specially-chosen junk,
The good books, the good bed,
And my life, in perfect order:
So to hear it said

He walked out on the whole crowd
Leaves me flushed and stirred,
Like Then she undid her dress
Or Take that you bastard;
Surely I can, if he did?
And that helps me to stay
Sober and industrious.
But I'd go today,

Yes, swagger the nut-strewn roads,
Crouch in the fo'c'sle
Stubbly with goodness, if
It weren't so artificial,
Such a deliberate step backwards
To create an object:
Books; china; a life
Reprehensibly perfect.

I love the Handsome One;
He has no death, decay nor form,
no peace or side, no end nor birthmarks.
I love Him, O mother, listen!
I love the beautiful one
With no bond nor fear,
no clan no land or landmarks for his beauty.
My Lord white as jasmine, is my husband.
Take these husbands who die and decay,
Feed them to your kitchen fires!

"New Age is an umbrella term encompassing anything on a spiritual path — Bigfoot, Jesus, Buddha. Even worshipping a frog is sort of OK,"

McGee said.

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess, and I'll be yours forever." He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "if you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess,I'll be yours forever".
Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm actually a beautiful princess and that I'll be yours forever. Why won't you kiss me?"
The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool!"

one froggy evening

hello, my baby!
hello, my honey!
hello, my ragtime gal!

send me a kiss by wire.
baby, my heart's on fire!

if you refuse me,
honey, you loose me.
then you'll be left alone.

oh baby, telephone
and tell me I'm
your own!

humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.

This thread on Grace and Kundalini reminds me of the last darshan of Muktananda before he left the United States for India (where he passed away. )

The meditation hall was jammed with over 500 people with a huge overflow watching by remote in the dining area. There had been various offerings of poems and Hindi songs by Baba’s swamis, and then Baba came out to give a talk about Shakti and Her “Grace.” When he was finished, a swami came up to the microphone and told us that a devotee of Baba’s was going to sing for him. And she just wanted to be called, Roberta.

So, Roberta Flack came up on the little stage pushing a keyboard followed by a drummer and guitarist. She sang Killing Me Softly directly to Baba, he put a white scarf around her neck, and she then sang, The First Time Ever I saw Your Face. It was like being in the Twilight Zone – you sorta couldn’t believe what you were seeing (Roberta Flack was big recording star back then.)

And then she had us all clap our hands as she played and sang an old time spiritual. It was funny because Baba started shouting something out, and his interpreter, Malti, said, “Baba says, this is not a night club!” That didn’t stop us for a minute. We were having a Shakti ball.

Then, Roberta quieted us down and said she was going to sing a song that we could all sing with her, to Muktananda, to Nityananda, to the Divine Feminine who had blessed us all. And she played and sang, Amazing Grace, and we all joined her – 500 strong and the whole dining hall, too. i bet there was not a dry eye in the house.

When we got to the line, “I was blind, but now I see,,” Malti (now Swami Chidvilasananda who succeeded Muktananda), whispered in Baba’s ear what the words meant, and he nodded and muttered happily, “Ah, yes, good, good.”

Paul Muad'Dib:
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
