More than 300,000 spirits awakened, and rose up that day,
Above the pristine manicured and landscaped grounds.
They ascended high enough to overlook the shameful acts
Being perpetrated on the Capital’s historic mounds.

July 24,2024:  two hundred rag-wrapped...

EXPLANATION OF GOD:

One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth.
He doesn't make grownups,...

Another Dream

Sounds of morning, fluid undertones, yet cacophonous; 
Rhythmic rustling of nearby trees form the baseline for tropical chaos. 
Each added layer draws me further into distraction.
I hear the shadowy neighbors breaking their silence, 
Attendant...

With hurry-home drops running down her cheeks,
She wrapped her small, soft arms around my neck.

“Daddy, don’t go!” she begged me.
“Daddy, please don’t go!” she cried.
All I could do was hold her,
And try to keep my...

Magical, mysterious, completely incomprehensible!  
Is there anything more divine than a seed,
Any seed, large or small, any size at all?

Infused within its compact evolving time capsule
Is written all the instructions for the development
Of every...

Time spent in Indian village, is - wisdom won plenty,
Wealth in the urn of common sense, here, never go empty...

Day here, though with chirps of birds, never dawns with no prayer,
Whether from Temple, mosque, church,...

From ground zero, the shocking ripples reverberate!
From the heart of a nation, the cry still goes out,
And continues on with unabated tears.
The healing begins with mournful sobs and angry shouts.

Who is to blame for this...

Mysterious Feminine

Glimpsed neath the jeweled moonbeams bright
Bathed in innocence, grandly framed by light,
The Goddess lightly steps through forests dense, 
Arrives at the River's sparkling vast expanse.

She, whose very movement shatters hearts,
Whose tender lips can break...

Thought crystallizes. Its edges become sharp and hard.
Soon we begin to believe the illusion of its boundaries.
We forget it is a wave of energy, in flux, pulsating, 
Reaching out to every glowing atom, moving faster...

"Has solitude ever led your steps down a forest path . . . "

The mountains are calling me, and I must go and venture outside
I get a tingling in my stomach followed by a memory...

Asleep in your life, deep in the dream,
When will you wake?  It’s not what it seems.

Projecting, accusing, constantly afraid;
Shunning salvation for the tragic dreams you’ve made.

Then, without warning, something occurs,
A glimpse of Reality; but...

Some people paint with their words,
Creating images with contrast and flow
That lift the hearts of others, 
Inspiring both their spirit and soul.

Some paint with their life’s work,
Their canvases deeply composed
With connections to millions of people
Reflecting...

The Nothingness began as a small, black smear across my smile.
It wormed and gnawed its way past my unsuspecting defenses,
Until it settled finally in the center of my heart,
Numbing my smile and deadening all my...

The Great Wheel

I'm hot. I'm cold; afraid, now bold. 
I'm good. I'm bad; silly, now sad.
I'm wrong. I'm right, filled with clarity.
Now, no clue or true insight. 

How do I shake and awaken? 
Break the...

The Golden Age always begins with chaos,
With screaming, fallen icons and bloody fields,
With fiercely fought heart-wrenching battles
With the conquered foes who refused to yield.

The old regime must fall to progress.
Outdated ideologies must be rebuked.
That which...

Sixty plus, and counting,
Still running from my life:
Child, athlete, writer, warrior,
Master Teacher, mother, wife.
Still pondering the age-old question,
"Who am I?"

Am I what I do?  What I have?  Where I work?
Or, are these just...

As a tiny tot from pastural Tennessee
My warm world consisted of all things green.
Forests and valleys, rivers and lakes,
Beautiful and flourishing, were all I had seen.

Then my small world expanded.  I travelled far

In the classroom of the Cosmos 
Experience is the just and thoughtful Master. 
She taxes us to teach us strength, 
plays silent games to teach us laughter.

How can we scorn Her wisdom,
and cry She's been...

The Toonerville Express disturbs a still December morn’,
Like Gabriel himself, but with a whistle, not a horn.
It fades into the distance as my hopes go down the drain. 
I’m two miles from the station, but...

Deep in meditation, I waited. 
Breathing slow, soft and deep; I waited. 
Then exploded on the inner screen 
Such an image of the Divine Matrix 
It took my breath away. 

There sat I, alone, yoga...
