Premium Member A Minimum of Baggage

For a good part of my life I have been trapped,
my mind and heart elsewhere, absent, in a box-
After the deaths and sadness I just stopped,
stopped caring and my emotions became frozen,
and I was a ghost of me, full of gloom and unhappiness.
It was all dismal and gloomy in my dark small box,
my mind was a window shuttered- broken was my clock.
Oh, time was infinite, past and present mingled,
in a jumble with no rhythm or tempo, endless,
moments, hours, days and years meant nothing to me.

For a good part of my life I have been trapped,
my mind and heart elsewhere, absent, in a box-
In my small nest I created my own atmosphere,
yet, I never left the safety of my little expanse.
I put off all endeavors, I was good at postponing.
But, within my darkness I found some great illumination,
from books I found spiritual enlightenment and jubilation.
I learned to be aware of me, and accept the deaths,
the sorrow, all the emotions and thoughts in my mind,
and words came in a stream of tears and poured out.

For a good part of my life I have been trapped,
my mind and heart elsewhere, absent, in a box-
Now, I live a simple life, uncomplicated and free,
I intend to journey and traverse my intended path,
whatever unfamiliar place that may take my steps.
With a minimum of baggage and leave sadness behind,
even though sadly, fate has left this girl almost blind.
Nothing again will ever crush this spirit, I will travel light,
I will rupture, destroy all preconceived ideas of blindness,
breaking all rules and commands, I trust totally in me.

Premium Member True Freedom

True freedom is the freedom 
beyond the shackles of the physical self
when the consciousness is not curtailed
by the inability of the body,
when thoughts do not encounter
the limitations of human laws  
or doctrines of half baked religious wisdom.
when purity of thought is judged 
not by fear of punishment 
but in the total honesty of its universal value!
when feelings are not tethered to the self
but have a vision of the whole,
where ego ceases to be because it 
has merged with the greater consciousness!
when you do not wait for tomorrow 
for it will never be because
yesterday never was.
True freedom is when now is now
and the only voice is silence!
there are no commands
and you flow confluent with 
the boundless truth
that you always were 
but have now realised!

The Heart, Just Talking About the Heart

PHYSICIAN WILLIAM HARVEY CLAIMED THAT THE HEART IS A MUSCLE PUMPING BLOOD TO THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, ALSO HE DISCOVERED THAT THE VEINS FLOWED TOWARDS THE HEART.

AS A YOUNG PERSON WHEN EVER I READ THE BIBLE, THE HEART PLAYED A MAJOR PART.

ABOVE ALL ELSE GUARD YOUR HEART, FOR EVERYTHING FLOWS FROM IT
PROVERBS 4:23

THAT ALWAYS LEFT ME WONDERING , BECAUSE THE HEART WAS EVERYTHING, LOVE, KINDNESS, EMPATHY, GRATITUDE, COMPASSION, LOVE FOR ALL HUMANITY, PEACE. "THE HEART DOES SO MUCH"

IN 1991 DOCTOR J ANDREW ARMOUR, COIN THE TERM THAT THE HEART HAS A BRAIN.

I HAVE READ SOME OF HIS WORK, AND MY WONDERING HAS FOUND A PLACE WHERE SCIENCE HAS PROVEN WHAT HAS BEEN SAID IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE HEART.

THE LORD DOES NOT LOOK AT THE THINGS PEOPLE LOOK AT,PEOPLE LOOK AT THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE, BUT THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART.
1 SAMUEL 16:7

I USE TO SAY THAT THE BIBLE HAS BEEN SLICED AND DICED SO MANY TIMES DID IT MAKE SENSE TO READ IT, BUT MY GOOD FRIEND,  THE LATE 
HIS EMINENCE ABUNA YESEHAQ MANDEFRO, THE ARCHBISHOP OF THE ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX TEWAHEDO CHURCH, ENCOURAGE ME TO CONTINUE TO READ THE BIBLE, BECAUSE THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES TO LIGHT, THE MORE YOU TRY TO SUPPRESS IT, THE MORE IT BUBBLES TO THE TOP.
 "HE WAS SO RIGHT"

A WISE HEART ACCEPTS COMMANDS, BUT A CHATTERING FOOL COMES TO RUIN.
PROVERBS 10:8

I HAVE BEEN VERY FASCINATED BY STUDIES OF THE HEART, HERE IS WHAT SOME DOCTORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE HEART.

THE HEART IS A CENTER OF HIGHER WISDOM.
THE HEART STRUCTURE IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE BRAIN, IT HAS A NETWORK OF NEURONS,NEURITRANSMITTERS, PROTEINS AND SUPPORTS THE CELLS.
THE HEART CONTAINS, NEURONS AND GANGLIA, THE SAME FUNCTIONS AS THE BRAIN.
THE HEART SENDS MORE INFORMATION TO THE BRAIN, THAN THE BRAIN DOES TO THE HEART.

A CHEERFUL HEART IS GOOD MEDICINE, BUT A CRUSHED SPIRIT DRIES UP THE BONES.
PROVERBS 17:22

EVERY NATION FOR GENERATIONS, FROM THE DEEPEST JUNGLES TO THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS, THEIR ANCESTORS HAVE TOLD THE SAME STORY ABOUT LIFE AND BEING ONE WITH THE CREATOR AND MOTHER EARTH, JUST READ YOUR BIBLE, OR ANY BOOK ON ENLIGHTENMENT, AS WE CONTINUE OUR LIFE'S JOURNEY.

YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FINE ME, WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
JEREMIAH 29:13

THE HEART TRANSCENDS ALL THINGS

Premium Member Sea World

I think I know why the ocean flows - From the poem, I think I know why the ocean flows by Vijay Pandit

During one stormy winter season, I lived in a 50-foot boat for a couple of months. I also know that the Atlantic waters on the east coast of the USA are warm, and I'm aware that the Pacific Ocean waters on the west coast are cold. But beyond the Pacific's sandy beaches where she flashed me real good, or just at the exit of the Golden Gate on a short Bay Cruise, I have not been out into any of the world's oceans and seas.  But I have heard the fog horns alerting ships coming to port, and still, I know so little about the seven seas. But I think I know why the ocean flows.*                                                                                                                                          

she flows to keep the world afloat
she flows to greet the sandy beaches      
she flows because she has places to go  
she flows because of the moon commands
she flows to keep the salt from killing her
She flows because the gravity forces her
she flows because she's dancing with the wind
she flows to keep continents separate and sovereign
she flows because she's alive; only dead things are still
She flows because she knows that mobility prolongs life                                    
she flows because she's ever receiving the waters of the world
she flows because she got word that the Dead Sea could not flow

A Word From Our Sponsor Part 5: Seek Your Strength In Christ

Every now and then it is critical and crucial to find a quiet space
So we may hear the voice of God infused with His mercy and grace 
As the world is full of noise pollution and the cacophony of sounds 
God can't seem to get our attention nor get us to settle down 
A word from our Sponsor the Lord our God 
We need to receive what He wants to implant in our hearts 
As only the voice of God can help us to calibrate and heed
Our spiritual gyroscopes and our spiritual needs

Now God said to be strong and possess courage as well 
This three times to Joshua the Lord Our God did tell 
For our strength comes not from our credentials, our status nor our vitality 
Our true strength comes from the Lord God, the omnipotent authority 
Because we are only the branches on His universal vine
A constant supply of what we need in Him we will find
As we are no match for what the world and the adversary has planned 
We need to cleave to God's omniscient and omnipresent hands
For none have ever known and none have ever seen
All that the Lord Our God can actually glean 

And because joy comes in the morning we need to hold on
A new day has arisen and in Christ we need to stay strong 
By encouraging ourselves in remembering the promises that God made 
As Goodness and Mercy His two angels are about to take center stage
So wait for God to bring the change that will cause our courage to manifest 
As courage is the outward facade to show the world that we are blessed 
As it was courage that caused Daniel to change the Roman headlines 
And it was courage that caused David to face Golieth on the battle lines 

Now God our sponsor also said to read and keep His Holy Word
And not be influenced by what mere men have heard
To comprehend that the Scriptures are the universal architectural plans
The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth God's righteous commands 
So let's delight ourselves in the Word, keep it and it will keep you 
Let it dwell richly within and prosperity will come about too
A word from our Sponsor is be strong, be courageous and keep His Holy Scriptures 
For without these three things in life we'll never get the full gospel picture


Premium Member HALLOWED HALLS


Striking, revered portraits line the massive, hallowed halls
Reflecting the faces of the Founders; those who have given all.
These Heroes focused on peace and were positively sure.
They knew exactly whom they were protecting and fighting for.

Each was willing to sacrifice treasure, and surrender their very life
To rise above the mundane, to embrace turbulent political strife, 
To challenge decades of others to strive to be their very best,
To stand proudly and patriotically head and shoulders above the rest.

Through the centuries they sent a clarion call, heard by many more
But only those Patriots answered who were determined and really sure
Their Republic mattered most above everything else.
They fought to make a better nation from shore to shining shore.

Today, the chosen Patriots are still standing tall,
Answering the challenge to fight for us all,
And leaving behind the only life they ever knew
For the White House’s hallowed halls and its sacred view.

Our President leads with a strong and principled hand.
His team is willing to sacrifice their life in service of our land.
A tall, striking Marine with unbounded faith,
JD cannot be moved from his Truth and God’s Grace.
Pete’s passion and courage does not, nor will ever waiver.
He commands respect. His soldier’s mind is sharp as a saber.
Beauty and Power grace the long, hallowed halls
As Malania glides through. Her wisdom outshines them all.
Marco’s steady and commanding unwavering gaze
Cannot be matched or challenged or ever turned away.
Caroline’s message is hopeful and unmistakably clear,
Amazing in delivery despite her youthful years.

These, and so many others are now standing by
To serve when our beloved President calls.
And, they also serve who stand and wait
Patiently in the White House’s hallowed Halls.

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO ENABLES US TO OFFER FOR HIM WHAT IS HOLY

January 28 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Exodus 30-32

Key Verse – Exodus 30:37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.

FAITH IN GOD WHO ENABLES US 
TO OFFER FOR HIM WHAT IS HOLY	

God enables us to offer for Him what is holy without delay
Midst our honesty against vain display
While asking forgiveness for our earthly play
Indeed, pursuing through faith that our lives to Him we lay.

God enables us to offer for Him what is holy without pride’s pest
Midst our beseeching sincerity against destructive test
While asking mercy for our prayer-zest
Indeed, repenting through faith from selfishness’ crest.

God enables us to offer for Him what is holy without deceit
Midst our shame against crises-loss and misery-defeat
While admitting our wrong motive that is bound to compete
Indeed, seeking His help through faith that our needs, He will meet.

God enables us to offer for Him what is holy without abomination
Midst our struggle to do what is best against frustration
While checking bad attitudes toward our transformation
Indeed, trusting Him Who assures us eternal salvation.

God enables us to offer for Him what is holy without blemish in His sight
Midst our surrender against arrogance of lofty height 
While expressing praises Him with joyous delight
Indeed, prioritizing His kingdom and righteousness through faith’s might.

God enables us to offer for Him what is holy without accursing words
Midst our testimony against worldliness-fords
While striving to walk in His light along truth’s records
Indeed, abiding in His care around His defending swords.

God enables us to offer for Him what is holy without taint of iniquity
Midst our worship along our sacrifice of sincerity
While serving Him, following His instructive laws’ authority
Indeed, obeying His commands and exalting His majesty.

Antonio Guterres

In the halls of the
United Nations
truth walks slowly.

Speeches travel faster.

António Guterres,
are you leading—
or following?

A throne of diplomacy
was given to you.

Not to decorate silence.
But to confront power.

Yet the world burns.

Gaza
is smoke.

Lebanon trembles.
Syria bleeds.
Iran stands
under the shadow of war.

Inside the chamber
men speak of peace.

Outside the chamber
guns answer.

This is the theatre of nations.

A place where rulers perform
virtue
while power writes the script.

Machiavelli knew this truth:

A prince who cannot act
becomes a symbol.

And symbols
do not stop wars.

Tell me then—

What is the value
of a council of nations
that cannot restrain
the violence of kings?

What is the worth
of authority
that commands no obedience?

If power hides behind speeches
it becomes ritual.

And ritual
comforts the powerful
while the weak suffer.

The world listens
to the sound of declarations.

But history listens
for courage.

For in the end
the question is simple:

Did the chair of power
guide the world—

or merely watch
as it burned?

Defend us from worldliness toward worthy performance. Amen!

Premium Member Speech Comes Back In Spurts and Sputters

Loud crack!
first thought, why did I not wear a ….
the word helmet does not come right away
or at all

Eyes float shut
Someone yells for me to open them
I am drifting
Want to rest

Face close to my face 
commands me to stay awake
they get me to the hospital
prognosis not great

speech comes back
in spurts and sputters
long time healing
headaches severe

sometimes see an R
when I should have seen a 7
especially overwhelmed when
I am tired

Comes back in spurts and sputters
brain nothing to fool with
wear a helmet
