The Book...

 

 William Adolphe Bouguereau

“The book that I shall make people read
is the book of the heart,
which holds the key
to the mystery of life”

Our World ...

 

Our world 

is a beautiful magical place to live, 

to become human and do our Work. 

But the world is also filled with confusion, 

destruction and suffering. 

I find myself wrestling 

between the two polarities — 

the glorious beauty 

of the birds’ dawn chorus at sunrise 

and the weeping of family’s 

who have been driven from their homes by war. 

I stand in present witness. 

I remember myself. 

And I remember, 

God is good. 

And also mysterious.

The Reason ...

 

The reason 

that it usually takes self-remembering 

to see the third force 

is that it is usually invisible to the machine. 

For example - 

we may be aware 

of the father and the son, 

but it takes self-remembering 

to feel the Holy Ghost.

Heaven...

Heaven wheels above you,

displaying to you her eternal glories, 

and still your eyes are on the ground.

~Dante Alighieri

I Think It’s Important ...

 

I think it’s important 

to keep trying to understand 

and forgive our unconscious selves 

and see that if it could have been different 

it would have been. 

For that to happen 

we would have to override mechanical reactions -  

and also if the law of recurrence 

is to be believed 

we can work in this life 

so that we heal the past 

and it does not recur 

in the next lifetime in the same way.
