*Note - Suci is pronounced sue-chi. Weobaei is pronounced wee-obey. Manaeshte is pronounced Mahna-esh-tay. 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. [This message has been edited by iliana (08-11-2007 03:31 PM).] |

iliana, Beautiful! It's so good to see another post of yours! Yes! misce' ~ "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 |

'Listen with the perimeters of your soul' Smiling, at your perimeters. It's so good to read you again. I've missed you, Jo. |
