The one who wrote, Truth is self-evident, was correct...profoundly in touch with spiritual Truth. I have said this before, but I will say it again, if I have to convince myself, as to whether something is right or wrong, go though a litany of gymnastic thought -- it is probably wrong! Truth doesn't require knowledge...it does not require proving -- it is like God's presence -- we just know...and that fact is unshakable, regardless of the profound consequences.

Man's ego can turn the best wine into bland water. Just keeping us animate.

Feelings are the octane
of words...they drive our
poetry: A skip and a jump,
tripping the imagination
fantastic!

Escape from personality, into personality -- a poem, in one way or another, is always personality -- If it comes out of us, it is personality -- either near-local...nearer God...or the Devil.

For a poem to have sharing power, it must first tingle a reader's curiosity, greet on a soul level, and then unite somewhere-somehow with unity spirit.

Spirit alone can lift us. Let us pray, if not spiritual heroes, we have lived, at least, as honest spirits. And hopefully, that will have been enough.

Time is a Gift to us. Let is find together the many treasures, those on the surface along with the infinite hidden.

There is no back in Time as Einstein suggests -- Time is a part of us, in every cell and mental process recalled – Already, we are all we were, and all we will become – if anything, I seek knowledge of the eternal moment. Conscious oneness with God in His timeless infinite Universe…. The secret is, learning how to listen – “God speaks to us daily” –

The human form is a vehicle...a housing -- yet a temple, through which The Divine can manifest his glorious kingdom on earth...when and if we act accordingly, direct our "Us" tenant spirits to behave righteous thus fully representative of Christ. A Light victory, over the sphere of lifeless darkness.

There is no example of complete death or annihilation in the world. Just graceful and profound, abrupt change. Nothing goes out of existence...why should we be so different? Why not a universe of cooperative thought and feeling in a speck of sand? We know so little of death...and why not life beyond, yet assume volumes full?

Poetry is a life-long odyssey...sort of like, getting on a wood-craft, sailing off toward the horizon, praying one is dealing with round notes and not flats. The poetic heart floats and sinks with every lyrical journey.

What do I know? But it seems to me, that God could have left the snake out of the garden... instead, blessed rodents with self control --

We must
know hate to love! God seems to have
had a garden difference? Perhaps? -- a little snake
in most our psychologies.

The heart cannot be controlled...at best, we learn to compromise -- recrimination is for those who never really learned the meaning of Love.

God knows all. For me, it is not His unwillingness to explain, but that we hear, more clearly, first our desires.

Not suggesting that there is no right and wrong. But why must it always be your right and my wrong? So fixed in our beliefs, Is there no place of doubt where the two of us can reside peacefully, amiably?

Some who have suffered greatly in their lives, in retrospect, after spiritual evaluation, thank God for that opportunity to suffer. Sounds crazy I know. But true for some.
