Hear the wind tell you the truth The singing of the leaves That song is much older than you Older than you could ever imagine Deep beneath the bones of the earth In the hearts of birds Rippling with the smallest river On the top of the highest mountain Sing the song of peace and freedom Never-ending dream Will it ever become reality? Who do you think you are to claim That this all belongs to you As if you could rule every living thing You haven't even seen Sing the song of the hopeless creatures In this hopeless land Will humans ever let them be? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------**This work is copyrighted by Jussi Laitila (EMail: jlaitila@rock.helsinki.fi, WWW: www.helsinki.fi/~jlaitila).

A crown of flesh Rests upon my brow- A mockery.A living Thorn renting holes In a soul forlorned. Brazenly taunted, meek Eyes careen in the laughter Absorbing the pain of Trickling red water. Bound to my back, a Skeletal mass is latched, Bending me over with laden Burden of mortal thought. Stumbling into acceptance I submit to its desire Embracing the earth it craves.by: James D. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- **This work is copyrighted by James D.

Seek only that which is profound
Be it in sight, words, or beauteous sound
Seek only that which captures the heart
Which grasps you, holds you, and
makes you its part.
Pursue not those petty pleasures
Short-lived that come and go
Rather, seek hard and find such treasures
Which make your being grow.
Human life is just too precious
To be wasted on fleeting gains
The time we have is far too short
To be caught and trapped in games.
For all other games are dismally lost
If the game of your being is forsaken
Even your knowledge is futile, in vain -
In wholistic understanding awaken.
Do you understand just who you are
Where you are going and why?
Do you understand your capacities
Your potential to never again die?
Transcend the triviality of your personal life
Experience the vastness of the whole
The resounding harmony of all the cosmos
Echoes in your spirit, your soul.
So seek only that which is profound
Be it in sight, words, or beauteous sound
Seek that which carries your spirit afar
Beyond this frail body and mind
Find that, which really you are.

lofty visions can be seen night and

Hello! My name is Bhupinder Singh - I am new to Seeker, so here is a small introduction.
My interests include writing poetry about the human journey, and reading/listening to materials that direct one to the inner solitude which resides within all of us. I take joy in playing dilruba, sitar, harmonium, and tabla, creating pieces of meditative music which carry one into a wondrous rhythmical realm, beyond the trivial thoughts which rarely cease within us.
I live and work here in Waterloo, Ontario, having graduated in 1994 from a Mathematics/Teaching program at the University of Waterloo. By profession I am teacher of mathematics at the high school level. Presently I am tutoring students in high school math, and also university students in first year physics, calculus, and linear algebra.
I believe that a seeker is not searching for something outside of him/herself, but something which we are and have yet to realize fully. I sincerely look forward to correspondence with other readers of Seeker magazine.
