Remember Not to Forget

The mountains have been moved.
There are cracks in the walls
Of personal and societal brick.
As the flower Terra grows,
Forming a perfect bud,
We see in its emergence
Living visions of a future
Mankind has always known.

Amanita Cloud

For centuries the Sacred Mushroom Ritual
Has been a vehicle for reaching Eternity.
We need not risk physical ingestion,
And the possible effects of its deadly poison,
If we symbolically see this visual keyhole
As showing us the way to that other world
Far beyond our day to day comprehension.

Paths I, iii

                
Notice the solely unique in each,
   For the preciousness of every one
   Is special and rare, a beauty
   To behold in the noonday sun;
As pebbles along the shore reach
   Out, hoping to hear another call. . .
      An individual striving for name,
      To be part of the whole, yet free,
      Quite different though of the same.
   The unity shared before the fall
Is ours to feel, learn and teach. . .
   Seeing One in many, large in small,
   We grow to find the ALL in ALL.

Dream Fragment 5

Smartly dressed in red and black
The ants climb the green stalks
Slowly circling and circling
To coax a tightly wrapped bud
Open for the hidden pink
Gift of a peony sun
Rising over the green mountain
Of my flowering mind

Of Two
```
Windy is the night.
The storms of passion
Turned out the lights
And the love and the dreams
Of Two.

Grey clouds cover all
In their world
As the rains fall,
Streaming down the cheeks
Of Two.

Children of the Sun XIII

The solar family met
To hear the announcement
Of the long rumored birth
Of another child planet
In a not too distant
Future galactic time

Children of the Sun XII

If they are unwilling
Or unable to accept
The opportunity
Of the gift now offered
It will be presented
Again and yet again
As it has time after time
Following the agony
Of climbing back to face
Their current dilemma
And again be confronted
By the fear of losing
Individuality
In the ocean of Oneness

Innocence Revisited

The crumbling of our protective walls
Leaves us standing innocently naked,
Opened to Love, vulnerable,
And immersed solely in the moment;
No yesterdays and no tomorrows,
Only the Indefinable, Eternal Now.

Feeling the flower grow,
We suddenly approach God,
Becoming One.

Poppies

Peeking from protective pods,
We are poppies
Of indefinable Orange,
Radiant newborn suns
Opening these fragile petals
To explore, find and finally feel
Our Individual Uniqueness
At the Center
Of Being.
