Dream Fragment 33

He disengaged hands
Feet from cross and nails
Easing pain down to the floor
Stumbling stretching walking
Through chapel doors down steps
Merging with the swirling snow
And scurrying Christmas crowd
Shopping up down Main Street

Kalaloch Midnight
```
Day and night, mist
Drizzle and fog.
The tide comes in,
The tide goes out.
Land.  Ocean.  Grey
Mirror images
Roaring, boiling
Raw, chattering
Minds to Silence.

Paths III

Entering His Heavenly Mansion
On Ascension’s lifted wings of Light
We learn of our newly appointed duty
In the ever eternal fight,
And manifest the Kingdom’s beauty
By sowing Man’s Divine Perfection
With Universal Mind, Will and Love,
So all may reap the Resurrection
To our Life’s Immortal plane above.

The River of Forgetfulness

Leave all earthly belongings here,
On this still familiar shore,
And nakedly step into the water.
The River of Forgetfulness
Will permanently wash away
All your acquired prejudice;
Releasing worn out opinion
And popular cancerous thought.

Listening Point

Pend d’Oreille, remember the time
Before time when in the womb 
Of your mother Lake Missoula
You heard her tell of the upheaval
That violently birthed these mountains;
When horizontal layers of rock
Instantly pitched to angles
That today disorient my eye;
Appearing to fall directly
Into their own reflection.

Communication
```
There were those we could not
	Communicate with then.
There are those that still
	Cannot be reached,
Yet some with which
	We are together
For their knowledge
That Communication transcends death.

From the Center of Being I

Centering each and every thing
From winging bird or grain of sand
To the largest galactic sun
Is an invisible point of Light
Connecting and communicating
With every other point of Light
Throughout the entire universe

Venus

After many centuries in abeyance
The winds of Venus are blowing
To again wreak havoc in our lives.

Red, yellow and blue planetary visions
Kaleidoscopically change in minutes,
Sending cracks through our emotional core
And chilling the superficial warmth
Of all shallow rooted relationships.
