To open oneself up completely, with our fears, our weaknesses, our strengths, our love, is the risk we take in human form. We trust that familiarity will not lead to contempt, but that our subconscious will strengthen this thing we call love. As long as the ego is kept out of the equation by the will of our spiritual nature.

The impossible is merely a temporary label we apply to the distance between our current reach and our eventual grasp
|
Survival mode is not where we are meant to remain; it is a temporary refuge for the weary soul while it searches for a path forward. Such is life—we stumble, we heal, we endure, and we press on until, one quiet day, we return to the silence from which we came.

“Men, when enthrall’d by the puissant tide of their own affections, are oft but humble clay, unshapen and earthbound; yet they who stand apart and behold such passions with contemplative eye are transmuted into poets. For thus it hath ever seem’d to me that the most guiding and heaven-breathed literature of the world descendeth unto us not in common speech, but array’d in the measured raiment of verse.”

No good looking for God in churches, temples or mosques. For God is the love within your heart.

My poems are not attempts to express myself, they are attempts to express you.

Fast cars and cigarettes feel the temperature rising easy women you won't forget smoke on the horizon.

A poet should resist the irresistible temptation to preach.
|
Without love, and its many mysterious interpretations, there is no poetry. Love is poetry's core element. And a poet is addicted to love: may it be people love, love of nature, science, etc.. Passion, equals Poet. To Definitively define love is folly, for there are libraries full of such feeble attempts -- Why I write more about poetry's driving forces, refraining from any precise clinical referendums.

"When insulted or mistreated, maintain your integrity and values - don't betray your principles in reaction. It's tempting to stoop to their level, but reactive ploys only diminish your worth further. Stand firm in who you are and exemplify kindness, understanding, and fairness, even if others don't reciprocate. Don't let someone else's behavior drag you down; rise above it by staying true to yourself."
|
"Avoid words that blow up the significance of disrespect, and be wary of confirmation bias that reinforces negativity. See the bigger picture and handle difficulties philosophically within yourself. While speaking of grievances may offer temporary relief, it can keep you stuck in victimhood. Choose to focus on inner growth rather than amplifying negativity outwardly."

A smile like a crow,
**Truth is a very big illness**, like the wind; in the attempt to catch it, **life will be lost**.
Whereas, **a lie is caught one day or another**.
With love to all,
Jagdish Bajantri (Mahabharamnath)

"When we are young, familiarity breeds contempt,
When we grow older, we often beat a path to it."

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's a bond created in the forge of eternity, tempered by Gods' skillful hammer and design. Formed and cooled by wisdom and acceptance, its strength, ever present to combine.

The vacuity of world leadership's vision has driven us to futile attempts at healing through politicized, impractical theories of peace. Instead, what we need is to acknowledge and embrace our differences. By solidifying mutual respect for diversity, we can plant the seeds for a small piece of peace to flourish on every doorstep

Through the strait pass of suffering—
The Martyrs—even—trod.
Their feet—upon Temptations—
Their faces—upon God—
A stately—shriven—Company—
Convulsion—playing round—
Harmless—as streaks of Meteor—
Upon a Planet's Bond—
Their faith—the everlasting troth—
Their Expectation—fair—
The Needle—to the North Degree—
Wades—so—thro' polar Air!
--Emily Dickinson

JOSEPH, SON OF JACOB
"A type of the Christ Soul, The Greater Self struggling Upward from below" Joseph in an Egyptian Prison is Christ come into the world, where he can meet the two peoples, that is, the Jew and the Gentile... After long suffering, first from the Ungoverned violence of activities which spring from true service, then through temptations from the affections of the natural man, then through Bondage and Pain, the Spirit is Freed and Glorified, ALL EGYYPT BOWS TO JOSEPH"

We are our Nature, and Nature is a reflection of temperament. The earth will never stabilize, be less contrary, till its inhabitants are. God gives us an environment suited our heart and soul development.
|
The farthest think from my mind is attempting to bring others to Christ though fear of damnation -- Love is a much larger Ark.
|
"Love is the unwavering force that has carried me through the tempest of my life."
|
In a Forest, Nature rules. In a Garden, Humans are given the Power of Nature to rule temporarily, to learn ornamentalism.

To empower the frail is an onus that invites contemplation more than actions.

Ideas are like a mirage in the oasis - tempting yet often elusive.

Sometimes forced to attempt balance -- on a rope of righteous discernment, strung between two hells.

So the guy in the Oval Office who spent the last four years calling Trump a Nazi, a dictator, and an existential threat to democracy wants us all to lower the temperature and political rhetoric. The same guy who wants us to reject political violence just a couple weeks ago said “we need to put Trump in a bullseye”. God bless Donald J Trump.

Often the poet declaring too much. We are tempters, sweets and wine -- allow the reader to go deeper, passing the rein to his core of our rhyme.
