Discover for yourself that happiness is not dependent on circumstances but is your true nature, irrespective of conditions and situations. Begin and end your quest here.

Many believe awakening or self-discovery is either a complex mystical state, or that it doesn't exist. The truth is simple: causeless happiness is our true nature and is always available. Most of us are seeking happiness, in objects, other people and new experiences. The pursuit of happiness, in the so-called material world, can only temporarily mask our longing to return home to ourselves. The 60 poems in this book point the earnest seeker home, bypass the analytical mind, and resonate in the heart-space. Our true home is not a place, it is prior to mind. It is our very heart! "Take Heart, Seeker" is a practical companion, written to provide clarity and help point you back to your natural state, prior to mind, and to assist in effortlessly shedding all that is not essential to you. What remains? The poems in this book point to: "That!"

The Temple of Silence guides you to find the ever-present refuge that is completely reliable under all circumstances. See that the world is transient and yet YOU remain as what always is: peace, contentment and fulfillment. Discover a deeper intimacy with what has always been here - simple, uncontrived, and utterly whole. This is not a journey toward something new, but a recognition in the immediacy of what always is. Each of the 100 poems within offers a glimpse behind the veil, past the conditioned mind and into the heart of unknowing. They do not demand understanding - they reveal what remains when understanding is no longer sought. Arising from, and taking shape within silence, these offerings are for anyone with a yearning for freedom. In the Temple of Silence, there is space enough for all, but room for only One. Discover that, prior to thought, you are that One. Welcome home.
