II

REFORMATION

In my dreams I run until I am out there
In the middle of everywhere, Wyoming,
Where a hundred thousand voices sing the silence,
And clouds as big as giants expand their chests and roar!
Where there is a stillness in between
For the quiet things that sing in the smaller amplitudes
And play on the fragile strings,
Where only flowing water passes never hours
And the undulance and coolness of the stream
Shares the lovely solitude of dreams.
It is a myth the quiet place.
I waken from the illusion of the schedule
Into the shelter of the willow,
The soothing moving of the water,
And the warm enclosing arms of sun.

This poem is written by William H. Southwell
THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here... always.”

The wind stretches without mercy through this scenery

The heat has slowly turned behind my back

Will I now tackle the winters that will come...

Autumn, no longer beautiful in its colours


The morning spring no longer a new beginning

Summer no longer a warm breeze

Innocence...
Sacrifice.....

It’s hidden deep within the vestige of my heart

I don’t exist here no more

How do we define success?
Some of us define success with how much we can produce,
If we produce more of the things we want, well then we are successful.
We actually define success after how much we can consume..if it is of materialistic things or something more promoted…
but rarely ever profound..
¨
And we are easy on the spiritual task..
Some of us never even open the door before its to late to request the unsuspected ..
Therefore never really being reveal`d
we stay veiled with the conclusion of fear

some stay in the "marital battle" where everyone are as your competitive ..
we are grasping after something, anything just to get some gratification..
What do we gain from trying to be the one that owns the world?, or having a high state.
thinking this will give me the things i need..
but what is the profit?
really..
some day you will die and the world stays behind
the soul is the one certain remaining thing
and there is the journey, that`s the competion, and there lies the answer.
