A Journey Without A Goal

(“Rainbow Body” detail, 2018, original encaustic)

A Journey Without A Goal

The path to enlightenment is a wondrous 
And delightfully paradoxical thing!
It is complex and yet simple,
Endless and yet immediate.

The problem is it is never us who becomes enlightened,
Since enlightenment is a reunification
With what has never been divided,
And so the journey then becomes nothing but a dream.

What

You felt that you should follow a different path, more ambitious and full of dreams

You felt that you should follow a different path, more ambitious and full of dreams,
a road scattered with hidden stars whispering your name in the night,
but you had no idea how to get there, how to forge your way through the shadows,
and so, in your misery, you began to hate everything around you, like a

In the midnight's heart, along the shadowed path, I lose myself in dreams

In the midnight's heart, along the shadowed path, I lose myself in dreams,
A river of thoughts flows, carrying me through the abyss's seams.
With every ripple, I draw near to the hidden truth's embrace,
In cosmic silence, my unfathomable soul I trace.
Under a sky full of stars, I dance with shadows of the past,
Each step an incantation,

The Proverbial Path of the Just

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, 
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”
Proverbs 4:18

King Solomon shared with the Jews over time;
much he had learned from his own dad, King David.
The path of the just is no quick, speedy climb
for the light it brings forth is way off the

Our Path Full of Whispers, part 2

Sonnet for Richard and Elizabeth
Twice Wed, Never Tamed
In Hollywood, where gods wear mortal skin,
 Their laughter roared and battles lit the screen.
 Twice wed, twice razed, they let each storm begin,
 And kissed with venom sweet and love obscene.
 He drank her name, she drank to match his fire,
 Their kisses sparked and turned to

Our Path Full of Whispers, part 1

Sonnet for Antony and Cleopatra
Two Empires Entwined
He gave up Rome to chase her scented air,
 A queen whose kiss could rouse the Nile to sing.
 Her throne was gold, but love her finer snare,
 And he, ensnared, abandoned crown and ring.
 They met as equals, each with pride unbowed,
 Yet love turned war when passion

Your Unique Path

Two paths diverged into the woods,
some choose the easier path.
I followed my heart and chose to go straight.
It was a treacherous path and made me the best I could be.

I’m glad I chose the harder way,
It was the right choice for me.
I hope that you will chose as well,
Blazing a trail only you can travail.

Your Word Is A Lamp Unto My Feet And A Light To My Path Eber and Wein and other submissions

Your holy word, Lord Jesus, is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.  I will not hide my candle
under a bushel but I will place it on top of 
a lamp stand to brighten up my hometown's
Evergreen's city of Everett Washington USA.
It is the capital city of Snohomish County

Threshold

At the threshold of tomorrow,  
Where commitment meets the dawn,  
Understanding whispers softly,  
In a master class of hope reborn.  

A moment of not knowing,  
Yet calm before the storm—  
Two sides agree in silence,  
As futures take on form.  

Thanksgiving for the journey,  
Each step

Excellence

Every path has
footprints of
families seeking
the best
for their children.

Every choice
creates ripples:

Who thrives?
Who's left behind?
What strengthens community?
What fractures it?

The question isn't
which path is right
but how to ensure
every path leads
to excellence,
equity,
opportunity.

How to make choice
mean possibility
for all,
not privilege
for few.

Learning On The Path Of Life

Whichever pathway you decide to choose,
They’ll always be lessons and lots of clues.
On every pathway, lessons will exist, 
Finding truth will require that you persist.

Walking a path, does not learning assure.
Takes more than presence, learning to secure.
From your doubt you ask, “why aren’t I learning?”
Lacking desire, the internal burning.
 
In the present, let the path

The Unfolded Path

In pursuit of promise, he journeyed far,
A dual path of toil and academic star.
Leaving loved ones, a distant shore,
He braved new faces, some warm, others a bore.

Hostility's sting, he wouldn't endure,
Focus on friendly souls, his heart's allure.
Through want and need, he pressed on ahead,
Enticing pleasure, a siren he'd rather be dead.

Night's silence, his studies' sacred

Court Jester

You joined the Navy.
I joined the circus. 
I was always a clown, 
and you were always 
so serious.

The Path of the Banker

In endless rows of ticking screens,
Where numbers dance and cold light gleams,
He spent his days in hollowed time,
His heart untouched, his soul confined.

Contracts signed with vacant eyes,
Chasing wealth beneath gray skies.
The clink of coins, the shuffle of files,
Left no joy, no genuine smiles.

Then one day, a scent of bread,
A baker’s voice, a warmth it spread.
