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."

The pulse of 2024 ~ may it be of power, peace, grace and love...

 



JOY AS ONE... 2024
Looking back to days now gone, now past
Looking to the future, days new, days vast
This NOW, what we perceive it to be
A choice ever held by a you, by a me
Many a decision, ours to reach, to make
From the domains of thought and vision we partake
A mind with purity of purpose, intent and direction
Is itself life's questing passion and perfection
Shaper we are of each yesterday, a tomorrow to come
We with the MAKER, our will as JOY as ONE.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Image: Janus
In Roman mythology, Janus (or Ianus; "archway") was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings. His most prominent remnant in modern culture is his namesake, the month of January, which begins the new year.


NEW TIDINGS 2024
This New Year to unfold
Its gifts in full yet to behold
For this moment in grace known
For the grandeur of nature ever shown
For the snows of Winter soon to blanket all
For the budding of life Spring to call
For the beauty Summer brings to you
For the splendor each Fall in brilliant hue
Signs, markings, the stars, the zodiac to chart
The NOW in Presence, each vision bears its start
The moment, day and passing year
In gratitude for life evermore dear
A knowing of an inner spirit of calm
Love and faith shielding all from harm
Cold be winter's winds now that blow
Upon my face sun's noon warming glow
In joyful reverence this day gifted new
Creation's love, praise and favor on to you
What be the Light that you in heart hold dear
Bring these supernal visions to this, A New Year.
