Another musical addition today a beautiful song from an angelic voice, and she’s Canadian. So I can’t lose. I hope you enjoy. So it seems like I’m on a tangent. The last few posts I’ve made all seem to be on a similar theme, but I think that maybe that’s my purpose. I think I’m supposed to mention it and remind you of it until it becomes not a second nature but a first nature for everybody. So, what am…..
So although I’m still not feeling 100% perfect, I am not worried or feeling sorry for my self because I am sick. Despite all evidence to the contrary I know that my life is pretty damned good. In fact life as a whole is wonderful. I believe that it all comes down to attitude. If you feel that the world is stacked up against you and that you’re hard done by, you’re probably right, and who am I to argue…..
Today I am feeling more than just a bit under the weather. as such I have not felt up to making a great blog entry for today. So I’m afraid I have to cheat and you will have to put up with one of my poems from the book. It is one of my favourites, If I may be so bold as to have one Thank you for your patience Twilight The raspberry glow of sunset Gives way and fades…..
So my friends, a small entry for today. Having wracked my brain for scintillating and inspirational words of wisdom, and finding none (no true surprise there), I decided on silence. So in humble silence the answers that I seek seem to gush forth (again no real surprise), mainly being that the answers are always in front of me should I care to look. So with humility I offer you the product of a brief humble silence that I experienced last…..
Please note a musical attachment for today as well. One that I find fitting, from one of my most favourite souls and musicians ever. So a short entry for today my friends. I feel that there is not a whole lot to say about this subject. As always I will not be telling you anything you don’t already know deep within your heart of hearts. My only hope is that maybe one person reading this will be reminded of the…..
I find myself troubled by the recent trend in western countries to objectify people of different creeds or nationalities as them or they. This classification of other as something not only separate but less, is reminiscent of Germany in the 20’s and 30’s, with the nazi persecution of labour leaders, intellectuals, Gypsies and of course Jews. This characterization and defamation of some classes or groups of people as something to be avoided or controlled or even as the enemy seems…..
Spiritus; From Latin meaning spirit Theos; From Greek meaning God So In Spiritus Theos meaning in the Spirit of God. Now the God of In Spiritus Theos is not some aged white man with flowing white locks and beard, sitting in judgement on a golden throne. It is not the God who would lovingly welcome some and refuse others, based on skin colour, religious belief, or sexual orientation. He is not a God who promises an afterlife filled with countless virgins should you…..
After all that I read and watch in the media these days, I find that there is need to remind myself of the true nature of the world around me. I share this with you in hopes that it may do the same for you. As always comments are welcome The Truth of Love Love does not conquer Love does not war It does not ride glorious into battle And fight the good fight Love does not avenge the oppressed…..
Well thank you again for reading my blog. Today I offer up one of my more recent poems for your perusal. I hope you like it, comments are welcome. In my night sky The backlit clouds Cover the face of the moon But diminish her presence Not one bit I feel her presence I sense her power Her gentle illumination Softening the differences Between shadow and night Dark and darkerness Relief from the ebon depths She is the hidden master…..
