have to hesitate
after we will integrate
so we can separate
Hidden under the last sliver before the new moon
Was the path of the fiery sun
Walking through many dark nights under the stars
Wondering, wishing, knowing as a natural mystic would
How each step forward in this moment leads to a new peace
The sun will one day shine through
Integrating the alchemy of light from darkness
Life is to live
With eternal love
Love's to integrate
Not to discriminate
Role of human changes
But their love has no ranges
Abash them with kind
To punish the wrong and unkind
Invention is obviated
To live every mortal being uninterrupted

Bread has an everyday demanding presence, not daily dough
But daily fare across the miles, across ancient ways and wonders
Built by bread in bellies of slaves and laborers: pyramids and others
II
These days, when I say bread, I think of communion
The first with Abraham, when Melchisadek met him near Mamre
Tithing came naturally to Abraham; Priest without beginning brought bread

Then Jesus reminded us that these were Christophanies, heralding Him
"The bread of God is he who comes from heaven to give life to the world"
The Gospel of John (6:33) and again, "I am the Bread of Life" (6:48)

You see, Dear Hearts, beyond the staple, the ordinariness of bread (brown)
You practice: flour, oil, salt must be mixed well; use yeast (my sin upon Him)
You knead. Our need. Wait. Knead. Wait. Start fire. A sacrifice (Complete)
Drainage lines dissect river catchments
Carved by water flowing down to sea
Recycling raindrops sucked from ocean
Carried in puffs of clouds to highlands
To fall as rain feeding river flows
Sustaining life that thrives in currents
In rapids, trickles, waterfalls, swirls.
Life adapted to flow, stir and surge
That replenishes oxygen, food
In drips, squirts, spurts, splash, currents and flows.
Pulsing flow of rivers down drainage
Mirrors our blood flow circulation.
Integrate this!
You must transcend transcendence!
And then transcend the transcendence
of transcendence!
