(William Samual Photograph)
William Samuel (1924-1996): "Bill has found a way to communicate so that as many that are willing will discover, uncover, and be the Tranquility untouched by turmoil....a tranquility as effortlessly available as our own Identity"; Companion haiku: William Samuel can Deliver the Christ Child Living in Your Heart.
Your Awareness of
Being is the Self-Knowledge
Of God Manifest.
The Awareness You
Are is the Self-Knowledge of
God Manifesting.
[Rich Note: This is another offering directly inspired by Bill Samuel ( view link ) whose written and oral teachings I find to be a Treasure or, better yet, a "Divine Easter Egg" that has been “hidden in plain sight” for 30 years, awaiting world-wide discovery and distribution, "for such a time as this.”]
Bill Samuel Provides
A Priceless Chance to Live
As the Truth You Are.
Bill Samuel offers
The "Greatest Gift of All": The
Child of God You Are.
[Rich Note: For anyone (re: scientist, intellectual, athiest, agnostic or bruised by the church) who has trouble (or has friends who have trouble) calling the Ultimate Reality or the Absolute Nature of Being GOD, I suggest you do yourself an Absolute Favor and download Bill's complementary "Two plus Two = Reality" PDF from the aforementioned web-site. In fact, I would invite everyone, including those who relate to the Ultimate Reality as God, personal or otherwise, to do themselves a similar Favor.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (A Joyous Christmas to All)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Love, Joy and Life Photograph)
Love, Joy and Life (1982); A long-a-go Christmas Poem turned into a beautiful Christmas card by long-time friend, Barbara Wright; Companion haiku: Christmas bespeaks an annual reminder of Our Divine Potential.
Short Form:
Christmas-time is a
Holy Reminder that We
Are One in Spirit.
Long Form:
CHRISTMAS
With Christmas so near,
It’s that Time of Year;
God’s Spirit made Real.
God’s Love that We feel.
Again Born in Mind,
God’s Image Divine;
The Joy of His Sharing,
His Wondrous Caring.
The Birth of a Son
In Whom We Are One;
God’s Gift from Above,
His Life and His Love.
Rich Hay
[Rich Note: Biblically speaking, “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the Government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” Isaiah 9:6 (KJV).]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Overshadowing Presence)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Overshadowed Photograph)
Overshadowed (2010); The overshadowing light effect, similar to the overshadowing of Consciousness as the Ever-Present Ground of All Being, of this “Scottish Nutcracker” resonated with my Celtic genes and heart: Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Consciousness is a
Radiant Sense of Being
Present and Aware.
Conscious Aliveness
Is a Radiant Sense of
Present Awareness.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Children of the Light)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com]
(Centering Down Photograph)
Centering Down (2010); An iconic image of “entry into deep stillness” and “silent waiting upon God’s Presence" Quakers call "centering down” in which “…members sit in deep contemplative silence together...each person attuned to their own Inward Light"; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Centered in the One
Abiding in the Balance
Mindful of the Light.
[Rich Note: Although I never put this "two and two" together before attending a Quaker Meeting last week, this particular reprise would seem to be a rather accurate characterization of what Quakers refer to as “centering down.”]
[Rich Note: Both an OOMM Oldie and a "top five" favorite, this offering first appeared in the initial Jun 07 post.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (What Does It Mean to Me?)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(My Mother's Garden Drawing)
My Mother’s Garden (Carole Hay, 2007); The potential of this (meaningful to me) print to evoke a pleasant or unpleasent (in the case of a lost love one) emotional response is dependant on the mental associations and attendant meaning one assigns to it; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
We are not upset
By circumstance but by the
Meaning we give it.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Divine Spark)
[Rich Note: Companion image at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Quaker Aphorism Photograph)
Quaker Aphorism (2010); A rather subtle Quaker expression (at least as it is seen here) of "Christ in You" Living as the Divine Spark in the Heart of Everyone; Companion haiku: Accompanying.]
Life is a Vibrant
Sense of Being Present and
Aware as I Am.
Presently Alive
As this Vibrant Sense I Am
Aware of Being.

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Original Thanksgiving Photograph)
Original Thanksgiving (2010); "That they may be One, even as We are One, I in Them and Thou in Me, that They may be Made Perfect in One"; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Thank You that I Am
Called by Thy Name, O Lord God,
Consciousness of All.

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(The Chaff Photograph)
The Chaff (2007, Wikimedia Commons, Dvortygirl); Disgarding conditioned self-identification with concepts, not the concepts themselves, as someone has done with this dictionary, offers the freedom from self-thought we now seek to forget in distractions; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
I was taught to love
Thought as a child instead of
Myself as I Am.
I was taught to love
Self-Thought as a child instead
Of Being Myself.
I was taught to love
Thought as a child instead of
My Natural State.

Hay-Ku of the Day (For the Love of Thought)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Catching Some ZZZs Photograph)
Catching Some ZZZs (2010); Identification with self-referential thought results in a dream-like state in of consciousness in which the "mind's story of me" is unwittingly substituted for the Joy of Being (and the Pure Life, Light and Love thereof); Companion haiku: I fell in love with self-thought as a child and seek the Joy that was lost.
I fell in love with
Thought as a child and miss the
Wonder of Being.
I fell in love with
Self-thought as a child and miss
The Fullness of Joy.
