Give With Your Eyes

Give with your eyes and veil not thy face!

Reach down into the depth of you, find what is real.

You are divine learning to be Human, search there

in the heart of you, the warmth so rich, go into

that expansive sun, give yourself into it.

Give with your eyes.

Then, when you meet another, any other, really any –

immersed now in the sovereign firmness of inner Firmament,

healed free of the sickness of self-doubt, of conceit, of envy,

of self-pity, of pessimism, of dulled boredom, of thoughtlessness,

of shame and of guilt, of hopes and of fears:

look at that other – and give with your eyes.

There is no sentimental-sympathy of helper-syndrome here,

helpers have issues, they do not give with their eyes, they take.

Dis-ease is what comes with dividing and conquering others.

You however, regard your entire body-form as whole, a unity –

thus you are in health, and where it hurts you embrace and include

into the fold, and you do so without a story, you give with your eyes.

Bathing in the rolling stream you visit within you,

and drinking from the well of everlasting Life as you breathe,

letting the joy of Being take hold of your limbs walking bold and loose,

feeling your moods, being glad, being angry, growing in empathy,

being yourself trusting yourself, learning faith, neither coming nor going:

just give with your eyes.

In one steady gaze, neither invasive nor intrusive,

neither coy nor shy, without games or power issues,

looking with discrimination without actually judging,

willingly seeing if there's something that wants seeing,

and letting the love which has been born in you and by you

come forth: give with your eyes, give with your eyes!
