Nineteen Ninety One, May Day V

                     V
Shattered and scattered:
Our Founding Fathers have suffered another death.
Their dusty bones can be heard rattling throughout
The late twentieth century democracy
That allows science and technology to run amok,
Finally destroying any recognition of their Dream.

The gift on your doorstep
Today
Was imagined and created
Yesterday
With every thought
Word and deed

Come Walk With Me

Father told his son, and I learned:
Death is a process of Living.
But I did not then understand:
Death must also be permitted
To forever walk by our side
For Destiny to Manifest
Beyond this worn circular path
We have endlessly trudged for years.

July 26, 1976

The oracle has been cast,
All prophecies written
And the script lay beside me,
Yet I cannot respond.

The sheep are led to slaughter
With foreknowledge
Of expected end
To supposedly read their lines.

Insects and birds sing
An autumnal opera
On Afton Mountain

Passionate in the moment
With no thought for tomorrow

Birthing II

With each new contraction chaos
Further shakes a society
Overpopulated with fear
And addicted to the image
Of a glorious history
Seen as manifest destiny

Unwilling to wake from this dream
Some attempt to halt the coming
Of something beyond their control
And ability to understand

The One
```
The dust and ashes
Of fear and freud
Have been laid to rest
With fame and fortune

From a common grave
The ashes of time
And dust of Being
Will assemble to Birth
The ONE

“After you begin”
```
    After you begin
Appreciating life
In its entirety,
People seem so busy
In their trivialities—
    Usually involving money.

Paths IA, ix

Spiritual growth can now commence
   To accelerate in the Light
   Of loving Truth’s immortal beam,
   Showing us the basic birthright
Received from His Holy Essence
   As your keys to eternity.
      Higher evolution for Man
      Is the undying vision seen
      Whenever we accept the plans
   Drawn for our Real Identity.
The sacred path of awareness,
   Being the way of purity
   Is life’s capstone to liberty.
