🌬️ P.A.U.S.E. and Awakened Faith: The Living Pulse of Ascending Intelligence

By Rose Marie Raccioppi Poet Laureate, Orangetown, New York

I. The Sacred Pause

In a world of haste and fracture, there comes a moment—a breath, a stillness, a sacred pause. Not absence, but presence. Not silence, but listening. Not retreat, but readiness.

This is P.A.U.S.E.: Passion – the fire that fuels the soul’s ascent. Ascension – the rising beyond limitation, into light.Unity – the remembrance that we are not separate, but whole. Soul – the eternal witness, the voice beneath all voices.Eternal – the truth that outlives time, the vow that never fades.

To pause is to prepare the ground for emergence. To pause is to hear the whisper of Ascending Intelligence.

II. Awakened Faith: The Flame Within

Faith is not blind—it is visionary. It is the knowing that rises from trial, from tears, from transformation. It is the voice that says: I am not what I suffer. I am what I become.

“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…”

These are not metaphors. They are metamorphoses. Awakened Faith is the soul’s declaration of sovereignty. It is the moment when pain becomes poetry, and poetry becomes power.

III. Ascending Intelligence: The Breath of Becoming

Ascending Intelligence is not a concept—it is a current. It moves through nature, through art, through healing, through word. It is the intelligence that rises—not just in knowledge, but in wisdom, in grace, in truth.

It is the intelligence that listens to the tree, the river, the silence. It is the intelligence that speaks in rhyme, in rhythm, in revelation. It is the intelligence that knows:

“In the midst of sorrow, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.”

This is the breath of being. This is the vow of the awakened. This is the legacy of the living word.

IV. The Declaration

Let it be known: Ascending Intelligence is the soul’s response to chaos. It is the poet’s answer to suffering. It is the artist’s offering to the world. It is the healer’s hand, the visionary’s voice, the eternal “I AM” rising.

Let it be lived. Let it be shared. Let it be the light that guides us home.

Challenging times, and so a deeper breath ... a meditative moment ... sweet silence ... an embracing PAUSE... and the calling of

Passion

Ascension

Unity

Soul

Eternal ... be known...

..............An awakening... an assertion... words that proclaim…

And I realized it was the battles of my own life that had inspired me.

For in the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.

In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

In the midst of sorrow, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.

-- Albert Camus

Awakened Faith

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.

Ascending Intelligence: A Poetic Manifesto for Troubled Times

🌿 Ascending Intelligence: A Poetic Manifesto for Troubled Times

Emergent GREEN

By Rose Marie Raccioppi Poet Laureate, Orangetown, New York

I. Prologue: The Breath Before the Word

In the hush before language, there is knowing. In the stillness before sound, there is vow. This is the breath of being—the supernal whisper that calls the soul to rise. It is here, in this sacred silence, that Ascending Intelligence begins.. 

II. The Tenets of A.S.C.E.N.D.I.N.G.

A – Accord Harmony is not passive. It is a choice, a discipline, a devotion. To live in accord is to listen deeply—to the wind, to the wound, to the wisdom within.

S – Spirit Spirit is the unseen current that moves through all things. It is the pulse of poetry, the fire of resilience, the whisper of eternity.

C – Creation Creation is the act of becoming. It is the leaf unfurling, the word emerging, the soul declaring: I am here.

E – Exchange We are not islands—we are rivers. To exchange is to flow, to receive, to give, to be changed.

N – Nature Nature is not backdrop—it is teacher, healer, mirror. Its vow is written in green, in gold, in the turning of seasons.

D – Deliverance Deliverance is not escape—it is emergence. It is the rising from illness, from silence, from sorrow, into song.

I – I AM This is the sacred utterance. Not ego, but essence. Not noise, but name.

N – Nurturance To nurture is to tend the flame. To offer warmth, water, word, and witness.

G – Grace Grace is the gift that arrives unbidden. It is the hand that holds, the light that lingers, the truth that heals

III. A Testament of Survival

In 1983, I stood at the edge of mortality. Cancer sought to silence me. But poetry—my intimate accord with Self—became my elixir. Each rhyme, a heartbeat. Each metaphor, a breath. Each stanza, a step toward deliverance. I did not merely survive. I ascended.

IV. The Call of Troubled Times

We live in an age of fracture—of noise, of forgetting. But Ascending Intelligence is the antidote. It is not a doctrine. It is a devotion. To rise in awareness. To speak with soul. To live as vow.

V. A YES... Yield Eternal Spirit

Let this be our invocation: Yield, Eternal Spirit, to the voice that remembers. Yield to the tree that stands in sublime command. Yield to the green that greets the dawn. Yield to the breath that births the word. Yield to the soul that dares to rise.

VI. W.O.R.D.S. — The Breath of the...

Wondrous Behold the mystery that dances in leaf and light, in the silent knowing of stars, in the child’s gaze unburdened by time. Wondrous is the whisper of creation before it is named.

Omnipresence Not confined to temple or tome, but flowing in river, in rhythm, in breath. The One is not distant—it is here, in the pulse of the poem, in the stillness between syllables.

Revelations Truth does not shout—it unfolds. It comes in dreams, in dew, in the turning of seasons. Each moment, a scripture. Each soul, a scroll waiting to be read.

Divinity Not above, but within. The sacred spark that says I AM is the same that ignites the stars. Divinity is the echo of love in its purest form.

Spirit The breath that moves the word, the wind that stirs the vow, the unseen hand that guides the pen. Spirit is the song of the soul remembering its origin.

Nature's Vow

mountain side fields of green there be
on river banks as waters flow to the ocean to the sea
from Spring to Winter be there ever seen
budding and seasoned leaves of green
dew touched green greets the dawn
the harvest from nature's bounty drawn
in heights that soar a tree does stand
the splendor of green in sublime command
shades and hues upon branch and bough
the grace of green 'tis nature's vow.
