Made in God’s image, we are living light
We affirm since we’ve been, seen and so known
We have seen God face to face, in plain sight
All was revealed when we chose to atone
Recognising the transience of earth life
Weary of chasing objects of desire
One day we turned our back on needless strife
And set out to find God, our heart on fire
We began by purifying our heart
Becoming so to speak, a child again
Deeming all souls one, none standing apart
Was our chosen path to be free from pain
No sooner we began, thus with elan
Holy Spirit aligned with our soul’s plan
Holy Spirit aligned with our soul’s plan
The kundalini rose from root to crown
This happenstance required no middleman
All we can say is God didn’t let us down
Wisdom of the sages then became ours
Polarities balanced, bliss was imbibed
Our meditation stretched into long hours
Symbol of Om was on our heart inscribed
As we evolved, our karma was dissolved
With thoughts mostly rested, ego too died
Conflicts of the past, were by love resolved
We transcended isms, which to us had lied
This dream we call life, flowed on by itself
In time we beheld light of our true Self
In time we beheld light of our true Self
Formless presence, standing outside space-time
Poised in peace, no agenda on our shelf
No mountains remained we needed to climb
Enjoying full freedom and self-aware
Our Self was immersed in the heart of God
We grew in love no sooner we did pair
Seeing this in slow motion left us awed
As God’s child, our soul’s journey yet goes on
God’s desire is that we should be as He
Living in the now, with each breath reborn
That God dwells in all hearts, we clearly see
Entwined with rapture of bliss beat’s delight
Made in God’s image, we are living light
Ó stars conductor
thou who descended upon the world,
and hast saved us from affliction.
Ó Christ who subdued the pain
And thou ministered the cure ...
Thou who are the noblest
that came here by way
of the pure virgin ... that is
purer than gold ...
Thou who are immortal before
millennia ... we ask
in supplication for our
poor souls
And for those who do not believe
on thee...
To you we praise and affirm:
To follow you is all glory ...
Ó CHRISTE REDEMPTOR!
I am African, I affirm that i am Original African
untainted, unblenched, unsoiled.
I am African,
with all the dignity of the first human.
unashamed, unbowed, undaunted. I am African.
unique, culturally so.
I am from the people whose origin birthed all others,
the first creatures of Earth.
I am African,
Boldly I declare,
with this strength and sinews affirming,
though they obscure my origin with fabrication,
and contorted the fact with lies,
Yet, my spirit aligning with the truth undeniable, I am African.
Though the glare of calumny opposes,
and unvoiced spite rent my melanin,
I stand unfettered declaring, I am African.
unrestricted traversing the globe,
from this climes to India,
I carry beauty across continents
sowing seeds everywhere.
I bore the heat unblenched.
I retain the goodness of Gold.
This sun does not affright.
it leaves no particles with the scourge.
When you see me touring the Land with strength,
Remember,
I am African.
and in my meditation wanderings
I arrived at an antique door quite unique
it was a tall large carved wood door
with an ornate knob and large keyhole
it was really imposing
there was no chime
oh, where would this portal lead to
was this the threshold to evil
or the entrance to fantasy
or the gateway to my uncertainty
I would only affirm if I turned the knob
and step through its opening
I hesitated for I feared the unknown
was apprehensive and suspicious
in a quandary with qualms of uncertainty
it would be chancy and risky
my doubt was wavering
I talked to myself
you are strong, brave, adventurous
go for it
so, slowly with misgivings I turned to knob
the door opened with a creak
peering through the opening
was the most divine, sublime
tangled garden dripping with hued green
and pretty bright flowers
the smell was inviting
a thousand birds singing come, come, come
so, I stepped through and then back
just to prove for sure that I could return
how long did I spend meandering
well, time stood still so I do not know
but upon my return to reality
I told myself do not hesitate
with the unknown in fear
carefully, thoughtfully always move forward
with the certainty that all will unfold
as it is meant to . . .
With God’s assurance
New year comes
bringing victory
midst hope, peace and love
reigning by His grace
against pain
woes, sorrow, doubt, fear
along faith
in the Lord Who cares
granting provisions
answering prayers
directing steps*
by His truth
guidance, wisdom, light
always ready to
save, shield, satisfy
souls trusting His heart
which I can affirm
as His child
gratefully praise-filled.
*Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Where lies the portal to heaven, we ask,
which scriptures affirm is within our reach,
if our soul aligns with love for this task
and ego’s wall of delusion we breach?
We close our eyes and feel energy rise,
straight up to an orifice in our crown,
where our ego dies and to our surprise,
in a stream of bliss, we willingly drown.
The neophyte who sought, now is no more,
for ego shorn, we’ve become the twice born
and since love in love with love keeps no score,
luminous becomes this form we adorn.
Simple is the path, for soul to evolve,
if in God’s light, we’re willing to dissolve.
Florida prisoners should have their institutional work count toward Social Security benefits.
This policy would recognize their labor's value and provide a safety net upon release, aiding reintegration into society.
Most inmates engage in various forms of work, contributing to prison operations and gaining skills.
Excluding them from Social Security undermines their economic stability and increases the risk of recidivism.
Additionally, recognizing their work ensures fairness and aligns with broader labor rights.
Ultimately, counting institutional work toward Social Security would foster rehabilitation, reduce reoffending, and affirm the dignity of incarcerated individuals.
Beginnings Excite but Are Difficult,
Getting Out of Bed to the Alarm,
Deciding What Needs Doing is Occult,
Showing Up at the Office Can Harm,
The Urge to Exclaim "Halt!",
School Often Makes One a Worm,
Lines Blank on Paper May Scald,
1st Words are Awkward & Squirm,
Like Feet Preceding a Swim, Cold!
But Take the Plunge, Abandon, Be Firm,
"Dive In!, Carpe Diem!" Your Story be Told,
Yet Giving Birth May Affirm,
If Done Right Never Gets Old,
A "Nes", The Newborn Solution Confirm,
Imagine! Curious & Daring as Disney Walt,
Cleaning Up After the Party, Post Partum,
Even Eating Begins in the Kitchen Called,
"Legwork" as it's Needed to Enjoy the Hum,
It's Easy to Overlook Our DNA Spiraled,
Roots, Such as My Loved Little Woman,
If I Can't Anew Fresh Starts in Life Bundled,
The Men in White Coats Will Hunt Me Down!
Everybody lives with a sense of hope
looking always for a better thing
they go for many a different wish
not really sure what to sing!
Now there is a hope that's secure
the only one that holds you still
gives you foundation great and strong
a view that overcomes every hill
This hope is eternally focused
for the author is of divine origen
creator supreme of perfect love
His spirit does need no oxygin
Your real hope is simply divine
the Lord brings a certain assurance
giving His presence to fill you for real
this source of hope in abundance
("Our hope in God pulls us into the future. Hope allows us to affirm the reality of the abundant life that is ours in Christ. Hope allows us to stand in pain and to hold them until they are able to feel the love of God for themselves again. Hope allows us to work and bring God's reign upon the earth even when we see no results. Our hope begins and ends in God, the source of all hope" - Mary Lou Redding)
Atheists open letter to God
Dear God
I don't know how to begin...let's see
how are you today? (no he doesn't exist...oh yeah)
I am writing you today...to clarify a few things!
First of all, the fact that I am writing you this letter,
does not in any way shape or form indicate, confirm,
affirm, or testify, or give testimony, or bear witness
to a belief or conviction that you exist, in any form whatsoever!!!
Speaking about your existence...I have denied your existence
and I wanted to know why you have not accepted my denial!
Don't you understand that my denial of you, (now as a consequence
of aforementioned denial) you are hereby obligated to not exist.
My detailed analysis of facts as I understand them lead me to conclude that there is no Creator, no Intelligent Designer, and also I concur, believe, am convinced, have the conviction, that we(humans) are the product of evolution and random selection, after the big bang event.
So in conclusion, I would like to ratify my belief that you do not exist, I concur, and agree, and am bound by this letter witnessed by me, stating categorically, unequivocally, that you do not exist.
Please refrain from indicating, manifesting, proving, supporting, in any way that you exist. Please respect my declaration of your non- existence and comply forthwith.
Not yours, not so sincerely,
An unbeliever
P.S If by any chance I am wrong...please disregard the aforementioned letter
with my most sincere and humble apologies.
