*Note - Suci is pronounced sue-chi.  Weobaei is pronounced wee-obey.  Manaeshte is pronounced Mahna-esh-tay.

I

Why do you hold

onto the candle's flame?

The flickering moment

is not the same as when you stood

in the entrance of time.

Why do you listen with your mind?

It is limited.

Listen with the perimeters of your soul.

You are old.

You are gold.

Your feet were planted in the garden of life,

the garden of light.

There were witnesses to your birth.

Witnesses to your growth.

And you have grown beyond the Earth.

Why do you listen with your mind?

Why do you listen with your heart?

It must be silent to its loneliness.

Times are changing

like the flickering of the candle

you placed on Teresa's grave.

It is cold here for the body

that is warmed by Infinite's rays.

You must be open to receiving His praise.

Then, omnipresent.

You must obey.

You are an angel. That's how you're made.

So you must separate yourself from mankind occasionally.

Your holy matrimony was ingrained

when the first kernel of life

devoured the day.

Sing praises to your husbandry.

******

Vessel

You are the vessel

that carries all

the lines of history --

A utensil for learning --

A vehicle yearing to evole.

Dip into the ink well.

Fill to the brim.

Write your destiny

with yourself

and

Eloheim!

Eeyelhloheem.

*******

Roh Suci

The midnight blue lake mirrored

the countless, timeless stars

as the young bride stood motionless

at the shore near the Temple.

Around her drapped a cloth

of white which she held tightly at her breast.

The prayer that murmurred at her lips

was only that of submission.

Weobaei waited patiently

knowing her Groom would come.

Manaeshte came to the Temple,

this place, this moment suspended,

the place called Suci.

He found his bride.

She found such peace with Him in the Temple

and the bliss of this union

was so highly resonant

that the still lake surrounding them

began to ripple outward

as when one drop of rain

begets circle around circle

in the pool.

And so there is expansion.

And paradox – the two made one.

The one made many.

The many made all.

The All made One.

Stand up and take a bow for this spiritual write so expertly scribed. Lily jo, I literally got goosebumps from the ethereal beauty of it. It touched not only my heart, but my spirit as well.

You may not post often, but when you do, it's a doozy! Well done, my friend.

Namaste and KBHBLY,

Linda

Very lovely, and no, I can't say I "got" all of it--so I'm looking forward to a call (or at least an e mail)

You are very serene for such a busy little bee, you!

Smiling, at your perimeters.
It's so good to read you again.
I've missed you, Jo.

magnificent Jo!

it calls to the ancient

"Dip into the ink well.

Fill to the brim.

Write your destiny

with yourself

and

Eloheim!"
