The Sun Yet Brilliant


 

The Sun Yet Brilliant in the early evening sky
Sweet be the shadows up on high
The firmament in its embracing light
Brings forth a kaleidoscopic happening of pure delight
Captured in this moment of light's embrace
A configuration of bits, pieces, shards, within heart to place
We come to know and rejoice with this gift of the NOW
A deliverance, a happening, the wondrous of Spirit's VOW.

The Weavers Task - HIS will...





from the womb of time, warp and weft
threads torn, tattered, and frayed
woven anew with hands 
that reverently prayed

and so the threads ravaged by time
took on the light of the blessed divine
the light of stars, the moon and the sun
the weavers task in glory, HIS will done.

The NOW of Deliverance ~ Caverns of the Mind ...

 



And here in the NOW of Deliverance as promised... Caverns of the MIND... life is breath, a pulse, we all bleed red... a flow... and so we, it, a watercolor painting... a flow, a pulse, a consciousness.
May our awareness, our discernment, our knowing wise, as a community of people from all parts of this Earth, bring a restorative reverence to Mother Nature, her Divine intelligence and Supernal Creation.
Let us rise above the corporate greed and impeding control... of those who ravage Mother Earth by pesticides, toxins, poisons, manipulation of energy patterns.
We are more in numbers, more with endowed power, more with right intention, and are to appreciate WE ARE THE CHANGE that is to BE!!! WE, Humanity, Mother Earth deserve no less... all with blessings and supernal love...


Mother Earth ~ Ravage not its gifts, nor its inhabitants...

Inspired Spirit and Blessings shall prevail
There is a Supernal Love beyond travail
That knowing faith within heart
From which a questing peace has its start
A vision beyond the perceived despair
So be our wondrous destiny in GOD's loving care
Light and TRUTH be they the resounding plea
Over our lands, heart to heart, from sea to sea
Gather our thoughts and a new vision clear
Beyond all illusions beyond all fear.
Ravage not the land nor sea
Heed the echoed cry and plea
Heard in the crashing wave and thunderous sky
In valleys, plains and mountains high
Hold this Earth in reverent care
Protect our gifts of water and air
Take not in abuse a mineral or gem
Behold the wonder of each bloom, leaf and stem
Trees to flourish, 'tis bounty's call
The knowing grace of Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Earth, animals, plants, a you, a me
Nurture wise and abundance be.

GRANT NOT POWER ...

To DEMONS that echo their lies, their illusions, 
their taunts, their disquiet. 
The plea is heard, the poet responds...

GRANT NOT POWER TO THESE DEMONS OF DARK...
Grant not power to these demons of dark
Hush hush their haunts erase their mark
Be free of judgments and reprisals cruel
TRUTH and SPIRIT of SELF in light anew to rule
Addict me not to a false quieting of the pain I feel
Make the liberation from a shadowed self a beauty real
MASK not these agonies of the abiding soul
No longer allow deception to demand a toll
Pay not the price of life relegated to sorrow
Live the promise held within each tomorrow
Depression be not a donned cloak of despair
Hold the Faith yet borne of GOD's loving care
The gift of life and power of will in your story be told
Hail each breath, the cleansing, 'tis the alchemist's gold
See behind the MASK beyond the veil
See the denied pain that is yet to prevail
The masquerade and pretense held to conceal
The SELF that TRUTH alone is to reveal
Reveal, I hear this blessed command
Cloak not the quiver of shadow close at hand
Remove pretense and the MASK donned to conceal
The TRUTH, the deep knowing, this knowing real
Confront and resolve, the supernal summons a call
Beyond all consideration, TRUTH to lay bear ALL
To the plea of this petition I to heed
For TRUTH, 'tis ever the rightful creed.

Heaven and Earth


 


Images, vistas of Heaven and Earth in majestic array
Lakes, streams. rivers, oceans, wondrous water way
Rising and setting sun, colors emerge and blanketed they be
In the coming of night, held by the open sea
Mountains, plains, valleys, such splendor to behold
Each with a story past, present and yet to be told
Earth in its grandeur gifts of grace and light
So blessed be this day, so blessed be this night.

LIVE I

 




Live I 

lie I, as my own person
time tempers not the passions
the fire of self in forging flame
the visions held
the missions defined
the quest embraced
imaginings real
line, form, structure
the way of the artist
thought, word, sound
the way of the poet
live I as my own person
the fire of self in forging flame.

'Tis the Poet's Tidings ......


 

When designated, Poet of the Year in 2010, and subsequently Poet Laureate, Orangetown, New York in 2011, I vowed to dedicate the artistry of the WORD, to PEOPLE… yes, to …
Passion
Evolution
Omnipresence
Peace
Love
Eternity … the NOW of BEING.


The Poet's Tidings

Moments of memory, treasure be mine
The troves, the garlands, the gems of time
Each hour, each day, each year now past
A journey, a questing, a destiny cast
Awaken awaken to the vision yet held
Destiny and purpose in glory meld
The sounding heart with yearning real
Reverie and passion beyond conceal
The Muse calls to sound its claim
Beauty and Truth the poet to name
A blessed grace be it known, be it heard
'Tis the poet's tidings in heartfelt word.

By the ONE so named...


 


Today the sky here in Tappan, New York is of clear blue... such a welcomed light after the spell of an overcast white sky for the last 5 days... .

By the ONE so named  

A stillness, a calm, the air chilled and awakening it be
Trees, branches, and bough, reaching to the light before me
Sky of lambent blue so brilliantly clear, supernal indeed
This celestial gift before me in benediction I to receive
Sweet be the silence in this moment of BEING divine
Such be the savor of the morning light, this the gift of time
This season in PRESENCE to embrace my blessed abode
Each day, each moment, there be a story to be told
The All becomes known in each breath of SELF proclaimed
GLORY, GRACE, LIGHT, AGAPE LOVE,  
by the ONE so named.

M I C H A E L ~ As his story was told...

 

January 20, 1970 ~ December 7, 2023

Intention, an expressed love of GOD, words as echoes of heart, sound as light, light as sound, soul beholding PRESENCE... and so he wrote, and so he spoke, and so he played his music.
My loving husband, best friend, soul mate and best father to Sophia is in heaven. He now sheds his everlasting light and positive energy on us.
Thank you Michael for sharing with us your love, laughter, joy, knowledge, humor, music, words, and compassion. You were a gift to us all. We are forever grateful that you touched our lives with your light.
We so blessed by his known PRESENCE of light supernal
Gifts he gives from his soul, his soul eternal.

As with each of us there are stories to tell.
Michael was born in El Monte, California. He and his twin brother were adopted by Jessie and Wilma Evrard who raised Michael, and his twin brother, Patrick, providing a home and family life in Glendora, California. Typical of a healthy growing boy, Michael met the challenges and developed the skill sets to actively participate in baseball, football, wrestling, track, field, and cross country running.

Music soon made its passion known. A Cello, a Guitar, were Michael's string instruments of choice. Michael was seen as a gifted and talented performer. During his teen years, guitar became his favored instrument of choice. Michael played in bands and was indeed, a much appreciated soloist. Music became a source of solace, an art form, an origination, an inner dialogue that sounded his sense of self, love, and salvation. Yes, as with his most recent music productions, music was of feelings, reflection, exploration, renewal, a giving of his heart, his soul, his knowing, and his questioning of purpose, self, truth.

Knowing self, valuing others, Michael was diversified in his activity and his employment He helped families create their financial futures, was an actor who appeared in “Lost” and “Prison Break,” sold music equipment. Yes, Michael was ever ready for a new venture.

Michael was drawn to the field of teaching and social services. He took joy in bringing what he knew, what he had learned to teach others. He provided caring case management services to those classified as having Developmental Disabilities. This was his most recent employment. His welcomed friendliness, good cheer, and attentive care, were valued and applauded by clients and staff members.

Time, change, marriage, parenthood, a shared life, the blessings of a growing daughter. Sophia, our beautiful daughter, was born in 2004. She is like her father, compassionate, an old soul, with a crazy sense of humor, love of math, people, and sports. YES, her DADA praised her singing voice and love of drums. Michael cherished each moment with his family. Living in the NOW, being grateful to banner, GOD LOVES ALL.

Michael has presented how he chooses to be known. He has provided us with a self created presentation of his story, his consciousness, his defined purposes, his publications.

One need only to open to any page in the completed Trilogy, to be taken to wisdom, spirit, philosophy, science, and an all pervasive love of Truth, of Beauty, of Life, of Love, of GOD.

I was guided to simply open each book of the Trilogy, to a random page, for even by chance, loving counsel would be received and so it has come to BE...
Why Are We Here?
"Our Eyes serve the single purpose of gathering light forms."
How Life Works?
"Since I believe anything is possible, I can take a concept such as Nothing and realize that it is Something, even if it does not exist in physical form."
All That Exists
"We reflect whatever we see in ourselves while viewing one another and everything that we see."
Mahalo,
Tammy Evrard

M I C H A E L ... be he in praise...



 IT BE SO...Dear Michael W. Evrard

January 20, 1970 ~ December 7, 2023

We to take Unbridled JOY as we become 

ONE with the WORD and LOVE of GOD.


words, scripture, call to our BEING yet wise
heed the plea to rise beyond perpetrated demise
feel I the pulse, passions in calling refrain
this the SELF beyond the confine, beyond the inane
the resolve, the glory, the pulsing of heart, the soul divine
the blessings, the light, the embrace of sacred time
heed well words, scripture, that call to our BEING yet wise
heed the plea to rise beyond, beyond perpetrated demise
GOD LOVES ALL, Michael, with conviction did proclaim
we, GOD's children held lovingly in the sanctuary of HIS name.

A G A P E ...so claim, I


 

A G A P E... the love of love, of GOD, of Creation, of Life, of the Grace of BEING, of the Gift of Breath, of all that is Female, of all that is Male, the Whole of SELF ... so claim I. 


One Onto the Other...
A mother's hand in blessings shown
Londyn's grasp in nurturance known
The majesty of creation and birth devine
Supernal be the grace of breath and time
The reach of Londyn to her mother's hand
Be it of a blessed knowing command
A loving bond of BEING in God's grace
Beheld each be within heart's place.

Grandma Rose Marie Raccioppi

The new year 2024 ..."as above so below for the good of the ONE."

 



The new year 2024 is telling via its numerology... 2+0+2+4 = 8
8 implies infinity, and "as above so below for the good of the ONE."
Indeed, We are an integrative system. An interchange, from mind to heart, to gut, serving and supporting all body parts, functions, circulation, growth, development, and renewal, all in intelligent and responsive commune. Yes, from crown to root, and from root to crown.
We are to be newly appreciative of the sustaining intention of every cell, of every organ, of every organ system, of the principles of HOLISM... The sum may indeed be greater than the parts, yet it is the healthy interchange, respectful regard of parts that constitute a viable whole.

The Emerald Tablet of THOTH
Tablet 11
The Key to Above and Below
"List ye, now to my voice and become
greater than common man.
Lift thine eyes upward,
let Light fill thy being,
be thou ever Children of Light.
Only by effort shall ye grow upward to
the plane where Light is the All of the All.
Be ye the master of all that surrounds thee.
Never be mastered by the effects of thy life.
Create then ever more perfect causes
and in time shalt thou be a Sun of the Light
Free, let thine soul soar ever upward,
free from the bondage and fetters of night.
Lift thine eyes to the Sun in the sky-space.
For thee, let it be a symbol of life.
Know that thou art the Greater Light,
perfect in thine own sphere,
when thou art free.
Look not ever into the blackness.
Lift up thine eyes to the space above.
Free let thine Light flame upward
and shalt thou be a Child of the Light."
In deep meditation the call to APOGEE was newly heard and so today's post and reference to Thoth and Hermes, .a reflection of my life's work, the symbolism, the metaphor, the application, the expression, the art of BEING. Our bodies, our consciousness, our health, vitality, and BEING calls to HOLISM, and the tenets of, "As Above, so Below."
