Dear Friend

Dorothy Walters, a great friend and poet, has been walking her unique wisdom path for many years as Kundalini guides her feet along the way. Her extraordinary poetry flashes forth brilliantly like sparks rising from her steps.

These selections are from her second collection of poems: A Cloth of Fine Gold: Poems of the Inner Journey.

Her other volumes,Marrow of Flame: Poems of the Spiritual Journey and Leylines of the Soul: Poems of Ecstasy, like her second, have the power to ignite the hearts of seekers from any tradition.

 A Cloth of Fine Gold: Poems of the Inner Journey
 By Dorothy Walters

Gita, Mitchell, trans Meditation

I am not a Buddhist
nor am I a yogi.

My robe has no
special emblem
or design

My Great Teacher
is Silence.

I sit here now
listening.

p. 55



Carving Us Into Constant Love

Do you know how many times
I have opened my body to Yours,
how often I have become
whatever it is you are.

I never know just when
You will arrive,
how you are going to look
that day.

Sometimes you are Shiva,
tendrils flaming
ever dancing to keep the world alive.

Sometimes that Buddha
who lives in my front room
wise master
vessel of compassion
container of sensuous joy.

Yesterday You were
just an image
on a temple wall,
some long vanished holy man or woman
with an inviting smile,
no one I had heard of
before.

The form does not matter,
only that you have come
once more.

p. 27

Thank you all for your notes of appreciation for our newsletter. It's great to hear from you!

Everyone has the heart to be a true friend of the soul, an "Anam Cara." By embodying that ideal we may serve to help others to find love and compassion within themselves and the world.

Our highest nature is always manifest in relationship - to all other beings, to the environment, in relation to our own body and mind. Becoming mindful of the quality of our relationships allows us to learn where the light shines and where it needs to shine more. The ideal of Anam Cara is to continuously endeavor to expand the depth and the inclusiveness of the loving kindness we bring into every relationship, every moment, every breath.

If you have any suggestions, comments or sharings, for our newsletter please don't hesitate to e-mail me and I'll do my best to respond.

The Anam Cara Foundation is a 501 (C) 3, non-profit educational organization dedicated to teaching meditative practices. Our non- denominational programs are open to all. There are free meditation instructions and downloadable audio files of guided meditations on the meditation page of our
