Off the beaten path a rolling stone gathers no moss.  The roll of its movement is like poetry in motion.

At a bridge too far, footsteps linger on a path.

A witness bearer is observing nature.

A rock falls, succumbs to the pressure and breaks in half. It will never be the same. Even pieced together, it will not ever be whole.  There will always be light shining through its center. 

Iridescent and beautiful, a shine traverses the in-between, always seeing both sides of an equation.

Never judging, never choosing which side is better, the lights only purpose; quiet acceptance.

It glistens and flows silently becoming the glue which clings to each half of a shattered foundation then with quiet support, it centers the mass – makes it stronger through the light bond of its touch and creates something new.

                  

Like a bridge too far reaching across a cut-face, light connects both sides.

Some rock hard,  stone like individuals previously stuck begin to cross over from the precipice of the cut-face.  They courageously take small steps until gravity intervenes and they roll smoothly across. Having bridged the gap they celebrate their new found strength.

Fear paralyzes the forward motion of others. Their burden is heavy. They must remain unmoving and solid.

“Even rocks can crack,” they say sadly.

This a dark fact rarely mentioned – cracking is forbidden. It’s taboo to admit weakness or even create an awareness of its existence because one would then notice a concrete failure in their foundation. 

Instead of rounded thoughts and wheels of motion to roll ahead, they form blocks. They see how easy blocks are to stack.  They gauge progress by building barriers instead of bridges. They notice how they feel stuck in the mire and begin to sink as they fall into the pressure of its darkness and crack.

But, they don’t notice the beauty, movement or force of the light connecting the pulsing broken shards of a stone and how it has formed others into glorious pieces of art.  Or, the peace that washes over a shattered, broken work in progress when it transforms through an acceptance of nature and, moves on; forever fragmented but beautifully whole; perfect while they dance and bond with the light of the in-between at the cut-face near the bridge too far.  Free.

They gathered around the podium while he delivered insincere words with a vulpine smile.

The posh, stood behind their Leader in mute support.  Their heads bobbed in feigned agreement while they fixated on his every uttered word – they being his well paid entourage.  

A mob, enamored by the devilish Ruler but blind to his self-entitled ego, clamored about the podium hypnotized – enthralled – agog.  Drawn to his magnetic darkness, the crowd of followers had become nothing more than envious slaves duped into thinking they were free.  Instead, they were mere minions drawn into the black shroud of a false idol.  Infected by the beast’s insidious nature, and honeyed words their fervor the cause of chaos. Entranced and unwittingly infected, the gathering populous now formed in collaboration with the elitist cult to spread unease throughout their communities.

Those who were observant had no need to listen.  The Devil’s state and demeanor made it glaringly evident to those with keen vision that, ‘his’ only intent was on cursing the world and taking its power. (more…)

Fly

Let go,

Spread your wings and fly,

Life is about making the right decisions and moving on,

Learn from the riches of nature,

The best things in life are free.

“It is hard for me to understand a culture that not only hates and fights his brothers but even attacks Nature and abuses her. 

Man must love all creation or he will love none of it. 

Love is something you and I must have. 

We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. 

Without love our self-esteem weakens. 

Without it our courage fails. 

Without love we can no longer look out confidently at the world. 

Instead, we turn inwardly and begin to feed on our own personalities and little by little,

                                                                               we destroy ourselves.”

Chief Dan George

As I take a moment to ponder changes,

I wish – 

A wistful, so long to Spring,

And a whimsical Hello to Summer,

 

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens,

but often we look so long at the closed door,

that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.”  Helen Keller

Winter lifted her icy fingers,

And just like that the sounds of water running,

Birds singing.

And Children laughing filled the air.

Welcome Spring!

When the World’s fog starts encroaching on your peace of mind and ugliness creeps forward, step-back, breathe and focus on the highlights of your day.

Beauty is a matter of perspective. 

Clear your focus.
