*Black Saturday
I journey upright
in an unseen four-horse chariot,
along the eternal path of time—
a charioteer;
with slackened reins
I calmly appear before you.
Motionless beside your absence,
at the navel of your land,
amidst your Pythian Games—
a charioteer;
with broken reins
I hold fast your imperishable feats.
Serene, I journey alongside
in your victory celebrations,
along the meandering ribbon of the Kabeiroi—
a charioteer;
with balanced reins
I glorify serenity and grace.
God you are the smartest, you take it all away, only to turn our head and make us see the light.
God thank you for all the time you give us to make our life shine bright, thank you for all the times we fell we learned lots of lessons, and got some bruises too.
God thank you for giving us a chance to get back up and make amends.
God we are trying to follow good ways, please don’t give up on us, we will pray and work to make you proud.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Move America, like the wind moves, we move the things that make us feel good.
Move America toward love, toward good, toward all the things that make our life good and calm as we grow into a new and loving America.
America moves like the wind, each one of us is part of the wind, we make a path forward with all of our friends.
Move America for love, for peace, for freedom of speech, freedom to love, freedom to choose, freedom to have all the gifts God gave us as we move forward in this life.
We remember God gave us freedom to choose, freedom to learn and grow at our pace, we value and protect all our freedoms in life.
Moses was moved by God, he followed his calling and made a life story we can all reflect on, Jonah story of being swallowed by the huge fish gives us the story of being moved, we are all moved in different ways, lift prays for America to move forward with love and understanding of all of the forces positive each day.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always, may he guide us in all we do each moment of life.
You’ll never cross
the maelstrom
if your courage
has been stripped
Or trip the light
fantastic
when you’re crippled
at the hip
You can’t escape
the jungle
when the path
leads further in
Or greet the
new horizon
in a darkness
— mired in sin
(Dreamsleep: August, 2026)
The mind set of this world
has lost all sense under humanitarianism
which beggars a belief system to function properly
As the suffering has increased we become prisoners fighting for the lack of charity to speak
Understanding righteous in today's government
our mission is to promote sacred doctrine
that which houses the welfare of our people past and present
Our future as it stands as humans looks bleak
so many suffer hate by promoting unholy vices
Perfection is not in mortal man to begin with
it comes from the love of God
Forgiving our wrongs and making them right
wisdom has many shades and colours to draw peace
I walk a hazy woods of apricot and gold,
the path is lush with autumn;
birds doing the fandango on a branch.
Oh, jays sing psalms !
I find a pond and fish roll and jump,
colors sway into the abyss;
it's flow a yawn inky in the woods.
Oh, the birds trill !
I pull a canvas from my backpack,
paints and brush follow;
sitting on a rock I study the woods and abys.
How many hours pass ?
Hell is a negative place we are told, it is a place where all our freedoms are under the control of an evil person.
Hell is the place described in many religious books, it has stories passed down since the beginning of time.
Hell is explained to be painful, to be a place of no escape, a place that lacks all love and happiness.
Jesus told us of his stories, the one were he was offered the world if he bowed down and worshiped evil.
Jesus also said when he was on the cross, he looked up and asked God to forgive people because they were under evil influence.
Hell is the place Jesus went after death, he was there for three days and then conquered death and arose, making a path for all of us to follow him and his teachings home to God.
May we all conquer death, love and forgive, and pray that our time on earth we live a life of love.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Maybe we have lost some ways, maybe we should have a government that prays, maybe we should put God back in our schools and teach God's laws each day.
Maybe we fell from the grace of God, we allowed abortion and other ways that kill and cause loss.
Pray that God forgives us, that we all find our way home to heaven, that the natural ways of God continue and are put first in all our intentions and ways.
Maybe we should fall to the ground and pray and ask God to remove all the negative and painful days.
Pray that God forgives us, that we all find our way home to heaven, that the natural ways of God continue and are put first in all our intentions and ways.
Maybe we should all remember God gave us all we need, food, love, the earth and each other.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of life,
She bore the pain and wore the scars;
Leaving behind the soulful hamlet,
She marched onward, lantern in hand,
And trace her footprints in the sands of time.
Though life's like a chasm, deep and wide,
She marched forth like Shepherds beneath stars,
A beam of light, a glimmer of hope shone within,
Like a lighthouse amidst the sea, she stands tall.
Life's naught a trodden path,
But one that awaits to be trodden.
And every step she dares to take
Become a path where none had gone.
Future is the most important, it can make us all live in a place that makes us feel well.
Future culture is in your ways, ways you think, you plan, you pray, and move into the future.
Planning the future is very important, it can make all our moments better with each plan.
Planning our dreams, planning our family, planning each meal, all can lead to positive outcomes.
Future of our life is in our hands, it is ours to choose, to lay down all our ideas, to make them grow into reality, they all start with each one of us.
Future is not known, we can only do our best, and work each day to achieve all our dreams.
Future is like a painting, we choose all of the scenes, and plan each picture.
Future is related to the past, the past leaves with memories, with ideas, it gives us feeling that we carry with us each passing year.
For God told us even with our thoughts we can sin, we can make things grow by just dreams and thoughts.
So, plan your future every thought, every dream, make all of our future bright like the sun shining in our mind and heart.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.

Fog Between Souls
Silent woods now hold wind echoes.
Grey mist veils our cold, frozen path.
Thick fog stands between you and me.
Dodder wrapped around both our souls.
Rootless, it drained all of our hope.
Broken leaves wept right at our feet.
Who stole our sweet love into fog?
Only silence softly answered.
apples loosen from branches
with the soft thud of certainty.
nothing dramatic~
just fruit completing its journey
from skyward reach
to earth’s open palm.
I walk the path
and feel myself ripen too.
Loves you have the power, the power to win, the power to create and live without sin.
Loves you are the one, the one that can change all of your life, life is a blessing, life is your gift so use it to all of its glory and carry it forward with all of your spirit.
Loves if you fall, do not give up, remember falling is part of learning, so get up and try again.
Loves life will be hard, it may be to easy, it may be boring, it may leave you in shock, but remember you have choices so learn, give, love, forgive and move forward.
Love I wish you well on your journey through this life, may all of your days be bright with light and blessings.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
roots of evil fall
into the swirling mire ~
light guides the soul
