This is a beautiful meditation and blessings to the author who wrote it who is yet to be known.

"I speak directly to the Child within. I want you to know I have prepared a safe place for you. In this place, you will not be violated. In this place, you will not be judged. In this place, you will be loved, honored, respected and supported. In this place, you will be listened to, accepted, and allowed complete freedom to express whatever you need to express. Here, in this safe place, you can feel whatever you need to feel. Here, you'll be comforted and understood. You have carried some burdens for a long time. You were able to do that because you are smart and very strong. You had to do that because you had no choice. I want you to know that you have different choices now. Now, if you choose, you can begin to let go of some of those burdens, that pain, and those secret feelings. Anything you want to release can be released, and I will help you. Anything you still need to hold on to, to make you feel safe, you can hold on to. I will honor your boundaries. I understand you tried to speak out some things before, and were not allowed to be yourself or tell your truth. I understand that it may take a little time before you trust me, and that is good because it means you have learned to protect yourself. I will give you the time you need to trust me, and to trust the adult you have become. You can remember a little or a lot, or you can just let the memories release through emotion or breath. You have different choices now. You are in control. Remember who you are." More >

When will we awaken from this current state of being?
The answer is when we do, but for now,
We lick up the vomit from television.
Our eyes are painted over with entertainment........ More >

*
The dark waters at the bottom of the pool
are glossed over by the light on the surface.
The Rock is on Fire with invisible flame.
Wind carries the heat to all parts of our flesh.
All Movement is measured and balanced,
so as through the symbol of Tao,
so as through the symbol of Ollin,
The Twin Rectangles
at the Heart of the Aztec calendar stone.
*
The sphere of fire is covered by water,
and through the surface of interaction
emerges the Rock and the Sky.
The Earth is colored Blue
all the way around from the outside,
and the forest is a patch of moss
growing out of the Rock.
The spores of the lichen may cling to the Rock
and may eat the Rock.
From out of the Rock grows Tree-by-the-Lake.
Roots draw water to the Leaf,
where exchange occurs with the Sky.

Rock returns to the Fire.
Cloud-water returns to the Ocean.
Fire returns to the Water.
Another cycle of Life begins.
*
Rock grows into Tree-by-the-Lake.
Roots drink from the water table.
Breath of the leaf is extinguished
by Fire-in-the-Rain.
Tree burns away,
returning to Cloud and the Rock.
*
Sun fire continues to warm the Ocean
which breathes through fire in the water.
The fire within Rock burns within flesh.
When the Rock melts
and returns to the Twins
of fire and water,
The Wind may scatter
the seeds of recollection
to the Twin continents
of Ollin and Tethys,
and to the Twin oceans:
the Indo-Pacific and the Arctic-Atlantic.
The seeds of recollection
may find a new path
for return into Life.

"There was a pool
silver with shining water...
Here Narcissus...
came to rest...
to quench his thirsts...
and fell in love with that unbodied hope...
The vision is only shadow,
only reflection...
I know my image now...
And even in hell he found a pool to gaze in,
watching his image in the Stygian water."
---Ovid, Metamorphoses [6] iii 326
Until the End of the World (1991)
Directed by Wim Wenders. Written by Wenders and Peter Carey. Starring Solveig Dommartin, William Hurt, Sam Neill.
"They lived to see their dreams.
And when they slept, they dreamed about their dreams."
"...and here you are, seeing yourself to death."
Synopsis:
In a variant of virtual reality, the movie features a bizarre invention with unexpected technical and philosophical complications. The 'visionary' invention is a camera that records 'the act of seeing' so that one person's vision can be transmitted directly into the brain of another---allowing even a blind person to see, if only vicariously. Others are drawn into the experiment, and ultimately use the technology to project the contents of their own minds, their childhood memories and dreams.
Soon they become addicted to watching their own mental images on-screen. The fascination becomes an all-enveloping, morbid obsession that, like heroin, displaces all other concerns. The addicts eventually become zombies incapable of relating to anything save their inward visions. (1)

What!! he shouted from the back seats. A lone onlooker commented; "only one watt, he must be pretty dim!"
Surveying the scene and deciding that there was nothing he could do, except what he had become accustomed to, and that was retreat, the dim man retreated. Taking his somewhat dissapointed 'shadow' with him. The 'shadow' wanted to stay and play, no matter the consequences. No matter, that there were weightier issues that needed attention. Neroishly fiddling whilst fires raged all round. Shadow was interested in fires, they were afterall purifying. So what that other's get burnt; play with fire that's what happens.... More >

The civilization of the Desert
separates each of the four civilizations of the Forest,
One from Another.
The civilization of the Desert is Itself
separated by the Ocean.
The civilization on the Pacific
and of those who everywhere
live by the Ships of the Sea
is a steppingstone.
The civilization of the Ocean is One.
The civilization of the Desert is Twin.
The civilizations of the Forest are
the four leaves of the clover.

We who Live
within the Temple of Her-by-the-Lake
may turn our personal light and in-sight
into the Order of Listen and Speak.
*
Listen to the Voice of the Watery planet.
This is the first step.
Dawn is the Bridge between Life and Death.
She may be seen Twice a Day.
The Wo-Man in Blue in the Void of space
is the Sound in the stars of Our children playing.

The eyes of the Earth embedded in the dirt
are staring up into the sky,
and to all who stand
and reflect into life within humus.
Such as it is before descent into the underworld.
Cross the black river of Night.
Paint a picture on the wall.
The writing on paper,
and painting on walls,
provide a window.
*
Civilizations pass away
as well as memories of written tongues.
Inscriptions may be interpreted.
That which passes through Speech is sure.
One way to see the other side of the mountain
is to take a boat across the ocean
which envelopes the globe.
*
The life of our body is tied to Rock
through the marriage of fire and water.
Gather around the Circle of Rock
which points to Surya and Luna.
The path of planets will always be Here
to follow and measure and weave tales through.

Hello, you are there, other worlds.
You are there past the little lighted room at the top of the stairs.
You are there at the other end of the silver string, beyond the wardrobe, through the hole in the sky.
And I want to carve you strongly. More >

Tongue is the Knife,
for Speech across centuries.
The time of the solar year is 365 days.
The time of the ceremonial cycle is 260 days.
In the time of 52 cycles of the solar year,
The ceremonial cycle turns 73 times.
Thirteen days without name are counted,
The sum of 52 quarter days of leap year time,
Before beginning a new count
Of the 52 solar year - 73 ceremonial year cycle.

The Face through the Center speaks
of the measurement of coordination
in the cycles of our planets.
Who reads this Rock
emerges
from time past
and time future
to find Sound
within the planets
of our solar system.
The difference between yesterday
and tomorrow,
is the alligator eating the fish,
as the end of one cycle of time
meets the beginning of a new cycle.
