Masks
Feelings often fall – like tear drops – upon life’s mirrors.
Experiences seem to coalesce within the surface of bottomless lakes.
Written words tell stories ones voice does not mean to speak of.
Ones subconscious enfolds – all – lost upon the waves of times passing.
Into life – she brings - many, many rays of brilliant light.
She has been the catalyst for many a dazzling day !
Sadly, hovering within reach, so many black clouds and lightening
- judgmental, critical, know it all, distant, walls, no feelings for –
casting heavy shadows across the faces of hope, of desire,
of dreams unfulfilled, of experience touched but ever so lightly.
These black clouds, these shadows, these rays of light,
combined - beneath your beauty - a mask doth make, to hide. to show
within eyes one can look into that gives one glimpses of you.
After all this time !, I still know not, nor what to do ?

Oh, my soul,
Why do you always go to pluck that fruit?
Why do you always judge on good and evil?
Why do you always appeal to the intellect?
Why do you always please the senses?
Why are you so arrogant and proud?
Why do you command and dominate?
Why are your traduces crude and rude?
Why are your actions ill mannered and inconsiderate?
Why be loud, boastful, talkative and opinionated?
Why be insecure and afraid?
Why be intimidated and inhibited?
Why be introverted and extroverted?
Critical, judgemental, condescending and condemning!
So self-sufficient, self-reliant, self-motivating, self-seeking –
So much into self-love, self-adoration, self-idolatry, self-worship –
Oh my soul, my selfish soul?
When life has given a turn or a split on the road
The walk is very confusing and frustrating
A change is more critical and sometimes painful
The idea of being you is masked along the way
Nothing seems right in this choice that change
Wishing for a straight narrow path everyone wants
Wants in this life is not equal to what you need
I believe I made choices that can be regrettable
Undeniable, and mostly unexpected in my life
I turn ahead to look before I make the choice
Sometimes hesitant and meager to know
The outcome which lie in the turn or split path
Afraid that I have fallen in the walk of life
This method is a learning point and a device
Device of horrific trauma that next time
The choice you make will be so, so, so right
I am deep in thought when I notice time
Time has passed long enough and making change
Noting everything is part of the way to look back
Never really leaving that path, the path is narrow
Narrow as the line that you record on paper
Records of the journey in life is pointed out
Many, many times that you realize that change
Friends, family, growth, the world has its will
No choice but to walk every path with intent
Some will lead and some will stray, and that is the way
But your choice your light is your way to see
In the path or destiny, frankly life is all about choice
Life is all about change, a quiver of breath that might hurt
Accepting life is hard; making your own path is hard
Wondering if spending time with the right people
Waking up to the right side of the bed, and hope
Everyday a moment that people breathe in your air
Is even yours to breathe you wonder, but this is life
To see people, animals, and plants grow to full
It is the curve in the path or split on the road
That changes every day without control of your will
Just to see things in life is the worthwhile the change

G. Recitatives and Bel Canto
Aficionado-an intense emotion state
characterized by a strong sence of
affection.
Our uniquely beautiful blue planet billions of years old,
formed as a matchless marvel owing to cosmic contribution,
survived eons of trying times of tectonic turmoil untold.
Fostered diversified life in the tree of patterned evolution,
nurtured the pristine innate splendor like a loving mother
amidst the enveloping noxious haze of industrial pollution.
The stride of civilization scripted stark dismal story another,
we’re tripping the critical balance usurping the green canopy,
for progress the fragile ecosystem we don’t bother to smother.
Rampant growth is crossing sustainable limits ever so rapidly,
and to face the bleak future dawning the doom’s day we wait,
as the ravaged verdant terrains inflict climate change calamity.
It’s time the delicate poise of nature’s harmony we don’t berate,
for earth’s precious resources to the future generation we delegate.

October 15 Scripture Meditations Based on John 11-12
Key Verse – John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR DRAWING ME UNTO YOU
Thank You for drawing me unto You inside Your salvation
Within Your assurance of grand redemption
Apart from sinful nature’s hell-bound destination
Toward heavenly inheritance along eternal adoption.
Thank You for drawing me unto You inside Your holiness
Within Your sanctification of imputed righteousness
Apart from vain worldliness’ abominable filthiness
Toward genuine transformation along Spirit-filled faithfulness.
Thank You for drawing me unto You inside Your leadership
Within Your partnership of entrusted stewardship
Apart from earthly friendship’s shallow fellowship
Toward divine workmanship along joyful worship.
Thank You for drawing me unto You inside Your standard
Within Your instructions of harvest-laden vineyard
Apart from selfish ambition’s fleshly award
Toward quality ministry along scriptural safeguard.
Thank You for drawing me unto You inside Your kingdom
Within Your prudence of sovereign wisdom
Apart from ignorant foolishness’ doubt-afflicted boredom
Toward everlasting blessings along Christian freedom.
Thank You for drawing me unto You inside Your service-engagement
Within Your calling of life-building involvement
Apart from humanistic secularism’s skeptical entanglement
Toward godly virtuousness along faith-upheld commitment.
Thank You for drawing me unto You inside Your mercy
Within Your forgiveness of truthful fervency
Apart from critical hypocrisy’s lenient complacency
Toward intimate communion with You along revival constancy.

Is it a virtue
of legal, or just plain logical, process
to tolerate the morally intolerable?
Regardless of therapeutic opportunities to communicate dissent,
loud and clearly vocalized
articulate and explicit resistance.
Is it an immoral act
to participate in the Win/Lose market for climate pathology
if you could not know whether you are recast as oil-baron predator
or as a life-long perpetual child
praying for matriarchal cover?
Is it a corrosive vice
to tolerate the intolerable?
To settle for only Win/Lose options
in a ZeroSum stingy world.
Do I tolerate, even celebrate,
most everybody except those who are intolerant?
Why does feeding openness
to tolerating change
feel so risky?
Alarming past critical events
confronting disloyal oppositions
fade into memories of chronic dis-associations
against those also intolerant in diverse ways.
Am I a good person
if my most celebrated values advocating diversity,
and my more internal integrity of voices valued
and heard,
and cared for
feel like fragment fading shreds
of intolerable wonder and awe?
Why is your here and now intolerance,
my fearful-future intolerance,
against accepting invitations to mutually stretch tolerance?
Now invested in building apartheid-trusting walls
rather than win/win interdependent webs.
Why is my self-righteous intolerance
fair,
just?
Yet your fears and terrors,
impatience and suffering,
intolerable neglect
of win/win mindful opportunities
are not OK,
not healthy democratic enough,
too elitist,
too explicitly ignorant
of implicit win/win hope,
remain at least non-lose/lose communication,
verbal and non-verbal,
Still open to becoming more virtuously,
and legally,
tolerable.
Why do ecologists
and theologists
and neurologists
see and hear,
touch and feel,
smell and taste
ReGenerating Trust
as Positive Communication?
And,
Why do multiculturists
disvalue active DisTrust
as DeGenerative
Negative Apartheid DisCommunication?
And,
Why are all these
polypathically together
Cooperative + more win/win empowering
as contrasted with Competitive (-) MisTrust
Mis-UnCentered lack of Integral Communion's
