(Light, Light, More Light Photograph)
Light, Light, More Light (2009): As the light of the sun was needed for awareness of these clouds, so is the Light of Awareness ("which lighteth every man that cometh into the world") necessary for the Aware-Presence of Being You Are and I Am to Exist; Companion haiku: Remember Being the Aware-Presence You Are and not what you think.
Remember Being
The Aware-Presence You Are
And Be only That.
Remember Being
The Aware-Presence You Are
Prior to conception.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Nothing Being Everything)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Water Course Way Photograph)
Water Course Way (2009): Water seeking both the “lowest ground” and “path of least resistance” is a perfect natural metaphor for the “self-surrender” (re: willingness to be nothing) that assures an effortless return to the Home you never left; Accompanying haiku: Accompanying.
Willingness to Be
Nothing at All allows God
To Be Everything.
Willingness to Be
Nothing at All lets One Be
Everything There Is.
[Rich Note: Which calls to mind a similar Sri Nisargadatta pointer: “Only God's energy is infinite -- because He wants nothing for Himself” (I AM THAT, pg 49). "Nothing Being Everything" is also a "Non-Dual" pointer Britisher Tony Parsons coined and used as a book title.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Realizing Oneness)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Beaitific Vision Photograph)
[Rich Note: (Photo Caption) Beatific Vision 2009: This last photograph of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux struck me as a near-perfect, perhaps sacred, image of “the Peace that passes all understanding” that Conscious Realization of “the Holy One in the midst of thee” promises; Companion haiku: Accompanying.]
To Experience
Being One with God suspend
Relative Judgment.
To Experience
Conscious Union with All stop
Thinking relative.
To Experience
Conscious Union with Your Source
Be Mentally Still.

Hay-Ku of the Day (River to the Sea)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(High Flyer Photograph)
High Flyer (2009) BKWright; As an eagle returns to its nest and a river to the sea, so does the human mind seek a return to Conscious Union with the Divine Mind in which it “lives, moves and has its Being"; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Partial states of mind
Are driven to seek conscious
Union with their Source.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Worry Free)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Don't Worry, Be Happy Photograph)
Don’t Worry, Be Happy (2009): Any fear associated with this particular image would be a function of perceived potential for personal harm (re: falling, drowning, sharks...) due to "individual conditioning” as a conceptual self-referent (re: ego); Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Without an ego
There are “no if, ands or buts”
About anything.

Hay-Ku of the Day (You Are That)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Day at the Beach Photograph)
Day at the Beach (2009): What is seen in the “assumed outside world," as in this beach scene, reminds me I Am Present and Aware through a process of relative self-reflection; as such, it is not essential to Being, it only reminds me I Am That; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Before, During and
After every thought “You Are
That” which knows I Am.

[RichNote: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Sky of Awareness Photograph)
Sky of Awareness (2009); As the sky is present before, during and after a cloud passes, and is untouched by them, so is the Space-Like, Aware-Presence of Being I Am there before, during and after thoughts pass; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Before, during and
After the next thought I Am
Present and Aware

Hay-Ku of the Day (Self-Forgiveness)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Phanatical Photograph)
Phanatical (2008): Emotional over-reaction to Phillies' loses (something I have been guilty of for over 50 years) involves self-identification, links personal happiness to uncontrollable circumstance and so guarantees suffering; and to what end? Companion haiku:Forgiveness disrupts self-identification with relative thought.
Forgiveness disrupts
The flow of emotion that
Enlivens self-thought.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Forgiveness)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Forgive Them Father Photograph)
Forgive Them Father (2009): If I Know I Am One with my Brothers, then asking that They be "forgiven" (for they know not what they do) is really forgiving Oneself; Companion haiku: If We Are All One Forgiving Another Is Forgiving My Self.
Forgiveness serves to
Short-circuit emotional
Attachment to thought.
Forgiveness shorts out
The emotional charge that
Enlivens self-thought.

(Divine Salutation Photograph)
Divine Salutation (2009); Ran into this “The God (Christ) in Me salutes the God (Christ) in You” on a walk and ran into a “Like-Minded” Penn Stater named Mike, who also happen to be in the same line of work as my son Matthew; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
I Am Spirit: Whole,
Innocent and Fore-given
The Nature of God.
You Are Spirit: Whole,
Innocent and Fore-given
The Nature of God.
One Is Spirit: Whole,
Innocent and Fore-given
The Nature of God.

(New Born Innocence Photograph)
[Rich Note: (Photo Caption) New Born Innocence (2009); Having read the Holy Spirit communicates in many different ways, doing a meditation on forgiveness and innocence, and then stopping just short of this "newborn bunny" while cutting the grass, the message was loud and clear; Companion haiku: Accompanying.]
As Spirit One Is
Whole, Innocent, Forgiven
And Perfectly Free.

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Everyday Lion Photograph)
Everyday Lion (2008); "Behold, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and loose the seven seals thereof" (Rev. 5:5); Accompanying haiku: "Pre-Conceptual, Self-Shining, Aware-Presence" Conscious as I Am.]
"Pre-Conceptual,
Self-Shining, Aware-Presence"
Is Being Itself.
"Pre-Conceptual,
Self-Shining, Aware-Presence"
Is Life Immortal.
"Pre-Conceptual,
Self-Shining, Aware-Presence"
Is with me always.
[Rich Note: This is another one with a number of good, alternative third-lines, to include: Is Everlasting, Is Self-Forgotten, Is the Ground of All, Is Life's One Constant, Is Now Overlooked, Is seeking Itself, Is the Son/Sun of God, Is the One I Am and Is the Holy One.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Divine Resonance)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed with rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Guiter Hero Photograph)
To Resonate with
The Divine Song of Being
I need to Be Still.
[Rich Note: (Photo Caption) Guitar Hero (2008); “At-One-Ment” may be seen as the Ultimate “At-Tune-Ment” (or Perfectly Selfless Resonance with the Primal Vibration, Holy Spirit or Divine Song of Being One Is; Companion haiku: Accompanying.]
[Rich Note: The “mental space” of the mind may be likened to the enclosed space of a guitar box; and, likewise, be said (through an electro-chemical process) to “resonate, replicate and magnify” the environmental vibrations the senses convey to it. Its capacity to do so faithfully, however, lies in its own essential emptiness and/or selflessness, in the same way the space in a guitar box must be still and so empty of “internal vibration” if it is to accurately resonate and reproduce the notes and chords of the strings struck.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Grounded Eagle)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Battleship NJ Photograph)
Battleship NJ (2003): An icon of the "outer war" that the "inner war" (and lack of Inner Peace) that "relating to Life as other than I Am" necessarily begets: Companion haiku: Relating to Life as other than I Am is why I feel alone.
Relating to Life
As other than I Am is
A faulty premise.
Relating to Life
As other than I Am binds
The Wings of Spirit.
[Rich Note: (Intro to OOMM Appendix I) "Am I not alive to the degree I am aware of being as reflected in the environmental stimuli each passing moment presents? Am I not more self-aware, more conscious of being, more aware of my existence, when I am awake than when I am asleep and unconscious of being? Am I not also more alive when I am paying attention to the present moment, than when I am entertaining memories or projecting futures? Am I not more dead to life when I am day dreaming then when wholeheartedly focused, here and now, on what's going on around me? If so, then life isn't something I have, it's something I am. Something I am more or less conscious of being, depending on the degree of conscious awareness I am able to bring to each precious moment. Thus, as paradoxical as it may seem, the more I give myself as a center of conscious attention and awareness to others the more abundant the life I will experience in and of my-self."]

A Living Note in
A Divine Song of Being
Discordantly sung.
A Living Note in
