Rose: Loving Bliss & Harbin Hot Springs


Loving Bliss


harbin hot springs' pools elicit bliss

via the relaxation response

friendly eyes and naked bodies soften

dream time affects the brain

sing with that lyric in your mind


rise, rise, explore and delve

loving bliss comes, ~ let it grow

and flourish like a flower, in your mind

ring out, sing out, fly with those mind-chemicals

and see what transpires


under-examined ~

where does bliss come from? what can elicit it? when will you live it?

and all the time? can you evoke it as you will?

what is it? what stimulates it? what is the soup?

place, people, milieu, ideas

a lily, a friend abloom,

a blush, a rose in the water

we snuggle and embrace in the water,

so softly,

so lovely

and people cuddle in the water

and do watsu and water dance

under the fig tree


the ridge,

the dragon's ridge -

look now, ~

in the golden light

so old, so present -

let it grow in your mind as you soften

into that bliss of ease and the moment


but love - that is rarer,

and for it to rock out,

to sing,

to rise to bloom -

something is needed -

or is it random?


loving bliss -

like a rose in bloom in your mind -

is an old experience,

which I find cultivatable

let's and now ~

but soften first,

and if you allow an opening ...

it can and does emerge

now ~ into the warm waters,

into the harbin pools

or create your own
