About this ebook

We see only a fraction of what is around us. Preoccupied with our internal conversation and with our problems and crises, we do not see most of Reality. Our perceptions are atrophied. At moments the veils can lift, and we can see directly, without concepts or conditioning. In those moments, the world becomes magical, stunningly beautiful and infinitely mysterious. While in this state, the simplest things can move us to strong emotion and wonder. The 77 poems in this little book are all about the struggle to develop and reclaim this awareness of the Miraculous. The living Cosmos is presenting Itself to us every moment. We must wake up and learn to see.

    The Rainbow Earth - Don Nix J.D. Ph.D.

    Dedication

    To my grandmother, Georgia Rice, now long vanished, who took a moment to tenderly touch my hair and face and look searchingly into my eyes to see who was there. I still remember this moment 65 years later.

    Dedication

    Introduction

    1 Rainbows all around us

    2 The Garden is within us

    3 The world is always fresh

    4 We stand on the shores of Immensity

    5 Have you ever cut your finger

    6 I’m spinning on the earth

    7 Life has its highs and lows

    8 Something fills my heart with joy

    9 Feel the potential in the air

    10 There are dark spots in my soul

    11 We are swimming

    12 Our general arc is upward

    13 Raise your head and celebrate

    14 I take the bow of my mind

    15 How can I draw myself

    16 Sophistication is the enemy

    17 The Cosmos is dancing

    18 I’m looking for the metaphor

    19 Moment by moment

    20 The well is deep

    21 Loveliness is all around us

    22 We’re moving toward the Formless Realm

    23 Open your eyes to wonder

    24 I am patiently waiting

    25 Give me a moment of Your time

    26 I cannot see why I’m here

    27 This is the first moment

    28 A titan of industry

    29 I am a confluence of forces

    30 Have I been all that I could be

    31 The world is arising

    32 Something is holding the world together

    33 I know that I’m a primate

    34 I’m surrounded by chimera

    35 The Buddhists call it mindfulness

    36 This is the feeling

    37 You cannot die into emptiness

    38 We are living in a rainbow world

    39 Something moves me through my day

    40 I want to dig deeper into myself

    41 If I was the only person on Earth

    42 I want to put
