The one and only reason (so far) I can say I am an author.

The title is Universe, I got brave one day a few years back and submitted a poem which was published in a book titled A Surrender To The Moon around 2005.  The poem it's self was written in the late 1990's, the scrap piece of paper it was origionally written on still exists in the bits and pieces of the puzzle I'm trying to complete.  I hope you enjoy it. I posted a video to play while reading if you like.  Namaste

Universe

Spiral arms enfold us

Countless stars did, do, will shine

Spiral arms enfold them

Far beyond our own

Seperate enities

Carrying seperate entities

To somewhere quite unknown

Pushed forth

Or pulled in

To multiply and carry on

Through times forgoten

And places long gone

Destiny continues

Her life a journey

You can hear it in her song

Sunset

The light waited the whole day through to peek out and bid us ado.  Now he lumbers close to water's edge, slipping beneath the deep. 

His color's rich with orange, red. purple and blue,  reaching out to touch the night.
Clouds billowing upwards dark bottoms deeply filled.  Backlit the sky is set ablaze.

Night is rising, cooler winds prevail.
Night is coming , the time to unwind reflect and heal.
Night is here, the quite comes, perhaps forgiveness too.

Hold me in your soothing dark arms, surround me with the majik of the moon, until Ra rises again.
Comforted in the shadows of the still dark night.

Take my hand lest we loose our way, let us guide each other all through the night and into the day.

Title forthcoming

So, I've been reading...be afraid! ;)

 I have a quote that is sticking to me no...permiating me. it's a quote from some research I was doing. "Swallower of all the sorrow of the universe to protect the world" Is an atribute of Lord Ganesha

Oversharing. yeah...been busted for that before oh well,.

I believe in the "Community" and how else do we learn from one another better than to share? Even the wacko little moments in life. Pain shared is pain realeased, given back to the sacred earth and aether to be again be reborn beyond the veil. It is not to be judged or ridiculed as one never know's when one will be in a situation to be judged or ridiculed.  Community can't work to it's highest effiency when judgement and ridicule are present. 

We all fall, wisdom comes as you realize the point at which you are starting to fall, and surrender yourself to the rapids of emotional pain, and you CHOOSE to learn from it rather than fight it. Best not to drown in the swirreling abyss.

Being human is a chore honestly...especially when all you see is what could be through love.  Then  you really see what humanity is capable of both positive and negative.  So much suffering in the world...why add to an already unbalanced state of being.  We ALL fall, it's the getting back up just a little quicker each time that counts, that and being there when someone else needs a light out of the darkness. 

Let us never forget the compassion, without which this human race would have already been long gone.


Namaste,

Molting

The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to
sacrifice what we are for what we could become.     Charles DuBois


hmmm...Not sure we need to sacrifice what we ARE.  I'm a big fan of becoming.  For me it seems more like the snake shedding it's skin. The sacrifice, imho, is simply not fighting the molt. THAT is sacrifice. Letting go of deeply rooted parts of the psyce that no longer hold power over us, but are so comfortable and defendable that without them we feel naked and alone.   There is a point when shedding old pain from childhood etc...is absolutely terrifying and to continue to move forward and let THAT skin shed  IS...SACRIFICE. Who wants to feel so vulnerable?

Apparently me...not on a concious level but deeper down in the very core of the spirit. The sacrifice is giving up fear. Let's face it, it trick's you into thinking it  is the "safe"  place to be.  The sacrifice is throwing one's self  FULLY into the unknown, just to ask a question not knowing if there is an answer or not.  This sacrifices the ties that bind us on a spiritual level so who we are in our center is who we've always been since the beginning of time itself.  Could this be the way we should give to whatever power that moves us? Simply showing the great river of the Multi-verse we are ready to evolve by leaving fear behind. hmmmm.
