They told me to carry my torch and I ran.
A spark in the deep darkest corner of (hu)man.
To the old, to the old paradigm I have died
To the Now, to the moment somehow
I have tried
then Let Be
ceased to force my own hand
and got free
It's a big get to the (re)new(ed) Gott
who's pretty pleased
as corn and peas
when a ramblin weary soul
puts their feet upon the coals and says
I can
And just like that the light turns on
because you let the real show through, the Dawn
Honesty, my words I wed to thee.
***************************************
The world is gonna go On
The world is beautiful and don't you want your Part in it? (grant us our Portion, in your Torah)
I'm religious as fuck, but I don't want to buy in to
eschatological nightmares any more.
No more thinking that Jesus is going to burn the heads off his enemies,
cause I've been there, and he was always a friend to me.
I'm sick of the diss of Grace
flowing from the cabinets of the ones who claim to believe.
Let the light shine through you
we have a lot to hope for.
But the gains we demand from God
ideas like goodwill and peace,
they don't come from without,
like a deus ex machina,
they come from within.
We're the ones who are wearing skin,
and have legs and arms
to help or harm.
How will your spirit (re)sound?
unless you're planted in the Ground
So plugging in to the earth is the way
to stay.
To bring God into your bones and skin.
Great religion has taught us
that the highest duty of man
is to infuse the mundane with the sublime.
To do this you need Energy,
so trust me, I'm here for you.
Love,
The Ground
Earth
Cornerstone
Heart
Great gravitational force around which all you loveable punks have gathered.
Put another way... I once heard a young, newbish couple described as "two ticks with no dog"
Wherever you've got humans, you've pretty much got the same situation.
Energy vampires!! warn yer kids, keep all jars with lids stowed safely below! Oh no!
We're just restless, un-rooted souls..
We keep fluctuating and flickering, looking for something True. I hope you realize it's inside of you.
It can be difficult to function when the people around you are looking for something from you instead of being Self-soothed. It's something we're meant to learn pretty early on, but it can take time to break that dawn. Compassion for poor suckers who aren't Giving Things A Try. It really does involve seeking what your heart most deeply desires, because you are supported by an infinite existence, and it truly does know how to Give, not only to take. All things pass, and the seasons return again and again. The sun breaks through at the Solstice just in time to illuminate our time here.
All so brief, but worth every golden autumn leaf.
