Awakened Faith

...the flame within

gone the echoes and laments of days past

anew BE this mind, this heart, within soul cast

a child of the universe and Creation's grace

ever evolving within the depths of soul's place

confront and resolve be the calling command

within this faith held is libation's hand

nature's knowing and guidance true

life in new splendor brought on to you

shackled no more for I am free as the wind

silent no more for I am the thunderous storm

despairing no more for I am the dawning day

thirsty no more for I am lakes and rivers clear

lost no more for I am each guiding star

confined no more for I am vistas wide and far

hungry no more for I am bounty and harvest divine

this the awakened faith mine

the awakened

the awakened

the awakened faith mine.

Author's Note:

Faith is visionary. It embodies light and rises from the depths of self and soul, awakening to its inner calling and sovereignty.

 

PARTICIPANT ~ A Word in Revelation

We Breathe, We are a PARTICIPANT… feel, love, know, BE ~ Birth Eternal… to…

Passion Ascension Revelation Truth Inspiration Creation I AM Peace Awareness Nurture Trust

These words rise as a spiral of becoming — each a movement of Spirit, each a gesture of consciousness, each a call to the Eternal within the Self.

How Each Stage Appears in Daily Life

Passion The call that warms the heart and calls forth purpose.

Ascension The rise of perception that brings clarity and expansion.

Revelation The unveiling that illuminates what has always been present.

Truth The resonance of authenticity, the alignment of being.

Inspiration The breath of Spirit guiding thought, feeling, and creation.

Creation The shaping of intention into form, the artistry of daily life.

I AM The center of presence, the still point of pure Being.

Peace The harmony that steadies the heart and calms the mind.

Awareness The light behind perception, the spaciousness of understanding.

Nurture The devotion to growth, the gentle tending of body, mind, and spirit.

Trust The openness to life’s unfolding, the confidence in the wisdom of the path.

Each stage appears as a living invitation — a call to participate, a call to perceive, a call to breathe with intention.

The Artistry of Participation

These explorations, these considerations, these revelations set the tones by which we become PARTICIPANTS.

It is the calling of the WORD, the steps of the DANCE, the brush strokes upon a CANVAS, the hand of the sculptor unveiling form, creating STRUCTURE —BEAUTY Inspired Spirit in expression.

The BEAUTY, the TRUTH of GOD, of SELF — each a PARTICIPANT, each a sacred prod.

Our Evolution is our Participation. As we live, as we perceive, as we breathe, we give expression to what is — to the presence that calls us, to the grace that moves us, to the eternal that holds us.

The Fivefold Affirmation

PRAISE is the accord. GLORY is the light. TRUTH is the supernal. BEAUTY is the grace. ETERNAL is the presence.

These are the pillars of the living Self, the harmonies of Spirit in expression, the revelations that guide the heart.

GOD and SELF in Praise and Glory

GOD and SELF stand in radiant unity — each recognizing the other, each revealing the other, each expressing the other.

Words lived, words revealed, words calling to TRUTH, to BEAUTY, to the ETERNAL.

BE THIS KNOWN

Peeking GREEN

“In the first tender stirrings of Spring, the soul remembers its own blossoming.”

By Rose Marie Raccioppi, Poet Laureate of Orangetown, New York — Illuminating the sacred pulse of life through word and wonder

Introduction

Spring has forever been my teacher — a whisperer of renewal, a herald of becoming. From childhood to this very breath, the first peeking green has stirred in me a knowing: that life, in its quietest gestures, reveals the sacred. This poem is an offering of that knowing — a celebration of presence, of gratitude, and of the divine pulse that moves through all things.

Peeking GREEN

From days of Spring of my early years, to this very moment, there be a supernal joy from a budding leaf, a budding flower— a dance known within my very soul of BEING. Yes, I, a child born of Spring, of ARIES, of passion, in an ever‑present pulsing call, moment by moment, and so the artist, the poet, the visionary, breath by breath.

Peeking GREEN Perceived joy in this moment real A sense of oneness I shall not conceal The lilting exuberance, the embracing calm Life in all its blossoming, its abundance, its wondrous charm This moment barren of loss, fear, regret or sorrow Holds the promise of BEING, this hour, this day, a tomorrow Behold this moment that is known, and we now to share REJOICE in the MAKER, HE, the light and gift of our care. This spirit, this soul, this life bequeathed to You, to me Ever was, ever is and eternally, shall BE The peeking green, of daffodils yet to arrive in place Hail I delight, for such flowering GOD's gifts of grace.

— Rose Marie Raccioppi

Closing Note

May this moment of “peeking green” awaken in each reader a remembrance of their own becoming — the quiet stirrings, the tender unfoldings, the divine breath that calls us toward light. May we greet each new blossoming, within and around us, with gratitude, wonder, and the joy of simply BEING.

About This Poem

“Peeking GREEN” emerges from a lifelong devotion to the quiet miracles of Spring — the first leaf, the first bud, the first breath of warmth that stirs both memory and spirit. As a child of Spring and of Aries, I have always felt the season’s pulse as a call to creativity, presence, and praise. This poem is an offering of that call: a celebration of oneness, gratitude, and the divine grace revealed in every new blossoming.

An AWAKENING

 Listen I, and hear I. the plea for an awakening...

AN AWAKENING

an awakening

from storming moments

from pain beyond understanding

from deception and false realities

from the daunting echoes of oppression

an awakening

from the din of judgments

from the cacophony of opinions

from haunting doubts and fears

from care coupled with resentment

an awakening

to the delights of Spring

to the blooms of Summer

to the colors of Fall

to the surrender of Winter

an awakening

to the majesty of the heavens

to the divinity of the moon and stars

to the splendor of the dawning day

to the light behind the storm

an awakening

to the wonders of BEING

to the exploration of cause

to the power of intent

to the resolves of time

an awakening

to the embrace of SELF

to the WORD known

to the gifts of CREATION

to the SOUL revealed.

The Awakened Muse

by Rose Marie Raccioppi, APOGEE Poet, Poet Laureate, Orangetown, New York

Introduction There are moments when inspiration arrives not as a fleeting spark but as a presence — a whisper of the divine, a stirring of creation itself. The Awakened Muse speaks to that sacred encounter: where nature, spirit, and artistry converge, and the soul becomes both witness and instrument. This poem is an offering to that timeless source.

The Poem

The awakened Muse in God's spirit known By the glory, beauty, splendor ever shown The warm rising Sun for newness and light The waxing Moon for faith's inner sight

Each bloom of Spring but a beckoning call For the rebirth of life within each and All Music and artistry ’tis nature's grace divine Muse‑inspired note, form, structure and line

The music, the words, the poem's soulful plea The drawing, the painting, the sculpture free These gifts of purpose, goal, will and intent The summon of the Muse with God's blessings sent

And when the Word sparks a thought of joy and rhyme A wind's whisper, a bird's song, the day, the night be mine Sky, land, mountain, stream, lake, river and sea A palette of color, mood, bequeathed in guise to me

The vision, the dream now anew in God's Word The Muse's entreat to follow, to follow, now heard Line, form, sound, color, structure ever in creation And so the awakened Muse in devoted revelation.

Rose Marie Raccioppi APOGEE Poet

“The vision, the dream now anew in God’s Word…”

Closing Reflection To awaken to the Muse is to awaken to life itself — to the rhythms of nature, the quiet urgings of spirit, and the creative pulse that moves through all things. May this poem serve as a reminder that inspiration is not distant; it is ever‑present, waiting for our willingness to listen.

A CELEBRATION OF KNOWING

 

🌟 In Celebration of My 88th Year

With gratitude for the journey, the learning, the revelations, and the ever‑present call of the heart, I joyfully mark the passage into my 88th year. This moment stands as a testament to the power of intention, the resilience of spirit, and the luminous unfolding of KNOWING that continues to guide my steps. I offer the following reflection as a tribute to Peace, Presence, and the infinite geometry of being.

✨ A CELEBRATION OF KNOWING

by Rose Marie Raccioppi APOGEE Paradigm™

As I approach the blessing of my 88th year, I stand in gratitude for the journey, the learning, the revelations, and the ever‑present call of the heart. Each day offers a renewed invitation to listen deeply, to honor the wisdom that rises from within, and to share the resonance of Peace as lived experience.

This moment, this turning of time, brings forth a KNOWING that continues to guide my steps and shape my offerings. It is a KNOWING that speaks through kindness, nurturance, wonder, presence, and grace. It is a KNOWING that affirms the sacred geometry of our being, the harmony of our connections, and the luminous potential within each of us.

In celebration of this passage, I offer the following reflection— a tribute to the dynamic, morphogenic, ever‑present Peace that lives within and among us.

⭐ A KNOWING THAT PREVAILS

A KNOWING rises within the heart of being. A KNOWING that calls to:

Kindness — the gentle touch that opens pathways Nurturance — the devoted tending that brings all life to flourish Omnipresence — the awareness that consciousness breathes through every form Wonder — the ever‑renewing awe that keeps the spirit luminous I AM — the sovereign affirmation of presence and purpose Nature — the eternal teacher, offering harmony in every pattern Grace — the effortless flow that aligns intention with creation

This KNOWING moves as Peace— dynamic, real, morphogenic, present. It lives as Passion expressed with clarity, Emotion honored as wisdom, Awakening welcomed as expansion, Creation embraced as sacred responsibility, Exchange celebrated as the rhythm of unity.

Peace becomes a living geometry— a star of five radiant points, a dodecahedron of consciousness, a field of coherence within and among us.

Heart speaks. Consciousness listens. Peace prevails.

✨ A CLOSING BLESSING

for all who walk the path of KNOWING

May the breath you take in this moment carry the clarity of your own becoming. May the light within you rise with assurance, revealing the wisdom that has always guided your steps.

May your heart feel the gentle strength of kindness, the nourishment of nurturance, the wonder that awakens new vision, the grace that moves through every choice and every creation.

May Peace live as your constant companion— a Peace that expands, evolves, and radiates through thought, word, gesture, and presence. A Peace that honors the geometry of your being and the harmony of your connections.

May you stand in the fullness of your I AM, rooted in Nature’s truth, uplifted by consciousness, embraced by the infinite field of KNOWING that surrounds and sustains all life.

And as this blessing reaches you, may it inspire your own blessing forward— a ripple of awareness, a gesture of compassion, a spark of awakening shared with all who cross your path.

Peace prevails. Heart leads. KNOWING endures.

**In the ever‑present field of KNOWING,
