The Edge of the World

As I sail into the open ocean

These words I hear:

You’re going to fall off the edge of the world.

Are not me, but implanted in me,

for me to lose.

LIFE ON THE BORDER..

I AM ON THE BORDERLINE...

...OF RESTLESSNESS...

... AND PEACE...

...CONTAINMENT...

...AND BOUNDLESSNESS...

... HEAVEN AND HELL...

...EARTH...

...AND SKY...

...LIFE...

...AND DEATH...

ARE IN A CONSTANTANT STATE OF FLUX AND

...SHIFTING SANDS...

... AND SINKING MUD...

...ARE MY UNSTEADY PLATFORMS...

...I NEED ROOTS...

...TO ANCHOR ME...

...AND FEED ME,

...ANGLES TO COMFORT ME...

...AND SHELTER ME FROM THE WIND...

...I DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU BEGIN...

...AND I END...
...SIMPLE SECRETS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND...

... ASK ME THE MYSTERIES...

... OF THE OCEAN...

... AND I WILL WISPER THEM...

...TO YOU SOFTLY...

...AND YET I KNOW NOT...

...HOW TO FIND MY WAY HOME.

Mystic Message

This is from an old screen saver that I found on a YouTube video. Even the strong and needless connection to God can't ruin it. I tried to cull the religious excess, but eventually decided to just get into it as it is, I hope you can too.The message itself is provoking, powerful and personally timely.

The line that cuts me down is this:

It takes only seconds to open profound wounds in the ones we love, that take years to heal

Interview With God

I dreamed I had an interview with God...
"So you would like to interview me?"
God asked...
"If you have the time" - I said.
God smiled.
"My time is eternity... ...what questions do you have
in mind for me?"

What surprises you most about human kind?

God answered
That they get bored with childhood,they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.

That they lose their health to make money
and then lose their money to restore their health.

That by thinking anxiously about the
future, they forget the present, such that they live in
neither the present nor the future.

That they live as if they will never die,
and die as trough they had never lived.

Gods hand took mine and we were silent
for awhile

And than I asked:

As a parent,what are some of life's lessons You want your children to learn?

To learn they cannot make
anyone love them.

All they can do is let
themselves be loved.

To learn that it is not good to compare
themselves to others.

To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.

To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.

To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.

To learn that there are people who love them dearly,but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings.

To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.

To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another,but they must also forgive themselves.

Thank you for your time!

- I said humbly.

Is there anything else you'd like your children to
know?

God smiled and said
Just know that I am here..always.

Geri's Shadow

Casts its pall over us all, in the

Darkness unseen, we dance on invisible stings plucked decades
Before our birth who's negative resonance

Pits us one against all, all against each other.

We who are strangers, who are family, are friends at our cores,

Are who fight to her unseen, unseeing delight.

Our mother, a lonely little girl, grew up

In the frigid shade of a Witch mother, but

Some flowers never blossom in the cold,

A child never blooms under the penumbra of another,

We will never until we rise above
