... Nma-Owu Enenen

Voice of peace that summons my soul
In the climax of my despair
Nudge me to awaken to life
Carry me on the wings of Light
Enchanted by the music of higher spheres
Now may I stand in the dawn of my rebirth
Transformed by the magic of your purifying love

Surreal

When I hear you laugh
I remember the joyful chirping of many birds
Like the first aroma of spring
It lights up the arena
Your laughter is medicine to my soul
A calming balm to an injured warrior
A song of hope to a despairing heart
A drumbeat of freedom, heralding the birth of a new dawn
When I hear you laugh
I hear the magic of nature
And I know in that moment
That there is no greater peace
No sweeter embrace
No better melody
Than the hearty, carefree and unassuming laughter of my beloved
Would you mind, to laugh again with me? 🤣

Writer's Block & New Beginnings

Ink only flows whenever the muse visits
Today, she sits at my bedside humming a beautiful melody
Suddenly she paces about, her footsteps like a warrior's chant
Lazily, I pick up my stylus; ready parchment lies on my desk
With sleepy eyes I draw the first few lines
Alas, a lofty new tale is about to be born
Victoriously she smiles at her accomplished deed
For a new cycle must yet begin!

And the Master taught them;
"...Lead us not into Temptation,
But deliver us from evil!"

Dear Lord
As we sojourn through the worlds
Experiencing all that is necessary to keep the flame of consciousness aglow
Do not let us take wrong paths to attain our desires
Do not let us succumb to that which entices the flesh but numbs the spirit
And do not let us trade the sacred flame for fleeting material benefits.

Amen!!!

OF SEEKERS & KNOWING ONES

One acclaims himself a knowing one
Because he believes he has understood life and all of Creation, and has mastered its mysteries
But to become a knowing one
He must first experience Creation
And to experience Creation is to study Creation, to seek in it the answers to life's numerous questions and to acknowledge that Creation is constantly unfolding, yet seemingly unchanging as its governing Laws are immutable.
And to truly become knowing, he must first be content with the fact that he must become an eternal student of life
He must dare to experience and to apply the lessons that unfold in his day-to-day activity
For only therein alone lies the mobility of spirit that births true knowledge

-

That we are different
That we must follow a process
That we must be taught
That we must never question
That we must practice false humility
That it's okay to pretend to be righteous
That there is only one right way
That everyone else is a sinner
That the Almighty has favourites

Religion teaches us to be the obstacles on our path to freedom and truth

And once again, the long awaited hour of renewal came. In solemn communion, beings great and small, stood in unyielding expectation. From eternity, He, as though stepping forth into the portal of time, robed in garments of imperially blazing Light, poured forth through his vessel, the sacred Life fluid. And Creation opened up her vessels as one who parched and direly in need of refreshment needed every glistening drop. Silence filled the vaults; that silence of overwhelming joy and unspeakable appreciation for immeasurable love, and unquestionable Faithfulness. The power, like raw heat, like white light, like pulsating waves of crystal clear water demands to be put to use, for wherever it is left unguided it will slowly but surely flow back to source.
Lord for Thine Immeasurable goodness anchored in the gift of renewal, we thank Thee. Amen!

The past
That captures the beauty of communal living; when humans truly lived and loved, and men were kind, humane and considerate
When laughter was priceless and joy was limitless.

I want to write a novel about
The present
That imprints for posterity the pain of sophistication
A stern warning against greed, and avarice and cowardice.

I want to write a novel about
The future
That eulogizes the beauty that is born when unity is formed from the maturing of different independent parts
Parts blossoming in harmonious consciousness of the eternal Law, that all are but fragments of - "The One"!

Love is my Religion!
That love that exemplifies the unity of all things
That love that reaches out into the cold and dreary darkness
To ignite the faintest spark of a yearning for true life born from selfless giving
Yes Love is my Religion!
For it teaches me to speak from soul
To reach to the core of the straying one
And to be tender, yet firm; if that be the only path to Salvation
Love is the prayer I make
Love is my every waking breath
Love is the melody of my soul
A hymn of praise to the Mastermind who has permitted life
And in whose presence self must unfold that I may again be refined
Love! Love indeed is my Religion!
For through it I have learnt to see, think and act only beauty
To attune myself to its silent promptings
To desire only that which fosters its growth
As so doing I permit self to partake in the joys of perpetual living
Oh love, may your fire burn deeply within me
Blasting off all that would differentiate self from others
Bringing down the barriers of agony and pain
Bearing me aloft on your wings into the greater ether
That I may become one with the Love that is Life in its truest form!!!

A Letter to my Papa

Dear Papa,
I think I'm finally learning to live alone
To wake up to mornings without the thrill of your guidance
To take on tasks without the surety of your direction
To dare to take flight, and to fall, and to try again.
And though it sometimes seems impossible
Yet, I'm happy I'm finally learning to live again
To enjoy every moment, not in reminiscence of times past
But with heartfelt gratitude for the gift of yesterday, today, and the morrow
Safeguarding the memories of yesteryears with you
And looking forward to the many memories that life may yet place on my path
Missing the moments of friendship, yet recognising the love that grants me blossom on my own
I thank you for all you were, and are, and ever will be to me
Your loving memories will always cheer me on.
Happy Birthday Papa.
