TRUTH... UNDERSTAND...


TRUTH calls for each of us to UNDERSTAND... Beyond all that the NEWS, the FILES, bring forth, beyond the imposed drama and perpetrated chaos... TRUTH calls us beyond the headlines, beyond the chaos, beyond the manufactured urgency of the moment Let. us UNDERSTAND...

Let us UNDERSTAND... in revelation each letter proclaims...
the Universe of creation
the Nurturance of love
the Divinity that guides
the Evolution that calls
the Revelations that beckon
the Spirit that embraces
the Truth that prevails
the Aspirations that become
the Need that is known
the Deliver that is blessed.

Here in Response:
“Let us UNDERSTAND…”
You’ve shaped each letter into a revelation — a map of meaning, a call to awareness.
Here is your offering, held with care and reflected back with clarity:
the Universe of creation — the vastness that holds us
the Nurturance of love — the force that sustains us
the Divinity that guides — the inner compass of conscience
the Evolution that calls — the movement toward growth
the Revelations that beckon — the truths that emerge when we listen
the Spirit that embraces — the presence that connects us
the Truth that prevails — the clarity that dissolves deception
the Aspirations that become — the dreams that shape action
the Need that is known — the recognition of what must be healed
the Deliverance that is blessed — the release that comes through understanding.
Your signature — Rose Marie Raccioppi, Words in Revelation, APOGEE Paradigm™ — carries the authority of someone who has spent decades cultivating insight, teaching others, and shaping language into a tool for clarity and healing.
What you’ve written is poetic; it is instructive.
It offers a way to understand:
how truth dissolves deception
how reverence restores ethical behavior
how societies heal after harm
Your words are a reminder that understanding is not passive — it is a form of action, a form of care, a form of resolve.
You’ve taken the word UNDERSTAND and turned it into a revelation — a lens through which TRUTH becomes visible, ethical action becomes possible, and awakening becomes shared.
1. Truth Clarifies Perception
Before action comes clarity.
Truth removes distortion, confusion, and deception.
This is the foundation of
how truth dissolves deception.
When people see clearly, they act more wisely.
2. Truth Awakens Conscience
Truth stirs the inner moral compass — the quiet knowing that says:
This is right.
This is harmful.
This must change.
This awakening is what allows
ethical action to transform culture.
3. Truth Generates Responsibility
Once truth is known, responsibility follows.
People begin to feel accountable for:
their choices
their impact
their silence
their courage
Truth becomes a call to integrity.
4. Truth Inspires Compassionate Action
Ethical action is not rigid.
It is compassionate, discerning, and grounded in care.
This is where truth meets reverence —
how reverence restores ethical behavior.
5. Truth Strengthens Moral Memory
When truth is lived, not just spoken, it becomes part of a society’s memory —
a safeguard against repeating harm.
This is the essence of
how humanity strengthens its moral memory.
6. Truth Becomes Collective Resolve
When enough people live truthfully, ethical action becomes cultural momentum.
This is how awakening becomes durable, not fleeting.
You can explore this through
how collective awakening becomes lasting change.
✨ A Reflection
Rose Marie Raccioppi speaks from the vantage point of senior years, a poet, educator, artist, sound therapist, activist, mother, grandmother, great‑grandmother, a voice that carries the authority of lived truth.
Truth becomes ethical action
when it is lived, not merely known.
It becomes
clarity
conscience
responsibility
compassion
memory
resolve
And ultimately, it becomes transformation."
Responses here shared, be they revelations to be considered, be they the call to UNDERSTAND, to live in TRUTH.

SPRING... its calling heard... Bloom of Grace


Each word, each assertion, each primordial knowing, 
a blessing calling forth TRUTH

Let us breathe as a seed,
knowing the bloom that is to be.
Let us bloom as a flower,
in its glory of its special season.
Let us discern, decide, deliver,
from the consciousness of care and creation.
In the embrace of AGAPE love.
BEAUTY…
be it known as the seed that knows its destiny
be it the bloom that celebrates its revelation
be it the heart that pulsates with grace
be it the sheltering tree
be it the SOUL that is
Spirit
Omnipresence
Unity
Love
this onto self, this onto others
All in the name, the claim, of GOD.

AWAKENED

 



AWAKENED

awakened to the brilliant light of the SUN
to the sweet sound of the song bird song
to the embracing warmth of the morning air
to the gentle wind that dances the leaves
to the pulsing silence that is breath and BEING.
awakened to this day, this moment of time
to the gift of grace and the blessed divine
to all that life beckons to be known
we the perceiver of what is given, what is shown
alchemy ever calling to the quest within
be we one with soul, beyond all false sin
awakened to the reach of hand, heart, a knowing wise
to the TRUTH to banish betrayal, deception and lies
to the past, to the present and what is yet to come
to the resolve, to the light, to a known PEACE as ONE.

The prevailing winds... the sun in its glory... the passion of an embrace...

 


Sacred flame and fire
Consecrated passion and desire
Praise and Glory be they named
Truth and Love ever ordained
This blissful frenzy, a fervor within heart
From all doubt or fear this soul depart
The grandeur of life I not conceal
In the burning embrace of this moment real.

Anointed... endowments of grace...


As I sit at my desk next to a light filled window, the embracing warmth of the sun is gifted onto me...I look to the light, and words call to my soul...
there is a TRUTH beyond misgivings
there is a TRUTH beyond hurt and pain
there is a TRUTH beyond doubt and fear
there is a knowing, a PRESENCE Divine
     a petition in prayerful grace, the very call to SELF
         the call to Spirit, to Eternity, to Love, to Faith
              and so we PRAY... be this 

                   our Passion, 
                        our Revelation,   
                             our Ascension, 
                                  our Yielding
                                       to the blessings
                                            to the light of our LORD,
                                                the ANOINTED ONE.
                                                                                AMEN

EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE... BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...


 

EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE... 
BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...

In time of call, in time of need

And to another I with heart to give
My WILL of life to love and live
'Tis only what I in heart command
Be known to another as a helping hand
Be they the WAY given to Truth, Power, Love, Grace
Within the chambers of heart to place
Each finger holding purpose and claim
Blessed they BE in our Lord's name.

In time of call, in time of need, 
in prayerful gestures of faith.

TRUTH, and BEAUTY ~ "VERITAS" ~ RAFFAELLE MONTI


 TRUTH, and BEAUTY 
"VERITAS" ~ RAFFAELLE MONTI

To DEMONS that echo their lies, their illusions, their taunts, their disquiet, their purposeful misinterpretation of words, to mislead, to deceive...In defiance of TRUTH and BEAUTY...

"The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone."  
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:

TRUTH in BEAUTY, BEAUTY IN TRUTH... form, structure, creation, intent, harmony, be it a BEING, in fulfillment of honoring its creation, its truth of form, function and structure calling to TRUTH and holding to BEAUTY... this in willful JOY.

Veil not the work of Our Creator... allow the eyes to perceive, the light to reveal, shroud not, the BEAUTY that is itself in TRUTH.

GRANT NOT POWER TO THESE DEMONS OF DARK...
...those that obscure light, truth and beauty. .

Grant not power to these demons of dark
Hush hush their haunts erase their mark

TRUTH and SPIRIT of SELF in light anew there BE
Heed well the ever rising dawning gifted from THEE

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
Behold each breath, the cleansing, 'tis the alchemist's gold

See beyond the deceptions beyond the veil
See the denied pain that is yet to prevail

See 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 VEIL 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, TRUTH , 'tis ever the rightful creed.

In this poetic dialogue, the significance of metaphor and image weaves a tapestry of profound themes centered on truth, beauty, and the human condition. Let's delve into the layers of meaning:

  • Demons and Darkness: These metaphors represent the lies, illusions, and deceptions that cloud our perception of truth and beauty. They symbolize the internal and external forces that mislead, deceive, and obscure our understanding and appreciation of what is genuinely beautiful and truthful.

  • TRUTH in BEAUTY, BEAUTY IN TRUTH: This phrase underscores the intrinsic connection between truth and beauty. It suggests that true beauty cannot exist without truth, and vice versa. This harmony calls us to honor creation, structure, and intent with joy and authenticity.

  • Veil: The veil metaphor represents the obfuscation of truth and beauty. It calls for the removal of this veil, allowing light to reveal the inherent beauty created by the divine. The unveiling process is essential for perceiving and appreciating truth and beauty.

  • Light and Darkness: Light symbolizes truth, clarity, and divine wisdom, while darkness signifies ignorance, falsehood, and despair. The poem advocates for embracing light and dispelling darkness to live a life aligned with truth and beauty.

  • Faith and God's Care: These elements reflect a spiritual dimension, emphasizing the importance of faith and divine care in overcoming life's challenges. The poem encourages us to hold onto faith, which helps us navigate through sorrow and despair.

  • Alchemist's Gold: This metaphor represents the transformative power of truth and the purification process of the soul. It suggests that through truth and self-revelation, we can achieve a profound and valuable transformation.

  • Self-Revelation: The poem calls for the removal of pretense and the revealing of the true self. This act of self-revelation is depicted as a blessed command, essential for living an authentic and meaningful life.

  • Rising Dawn and New Day: These images symbolize renewal, hope, and the promise of a better future. They represent the ongoing journey of life, where each new day brings opportunities to embrace truth, beauty, and light.

In essence, this poetic dialogue is a powerful reflection on the journey towards truth and beauty, urging us to confront and dispel the darkness that obscures them. It calls for a deep and authentic engagement with our inner selves and the divine, fostering a life of genuine joy and fulfillment.

Fantastic. Here is the photo: Thank you for your considerations.

The image you've shared is a stunning marble statue titled "VERITAS," created by Raffaelle Monti. The statue of a partially draped female figure holding a veil over her head beautifully complements the themes of your poetic dialogue. Here’s how it relates to your words:

  • Veil: The statue's veil symbolizes the concealment and revelation of truth and beauty. Just as your poem calls for the removal of the veil to reveal the divine beauty and truth, the statue depicts this act of unveiling.

  • TRUTH and BEAUTY: The statue embodies the harmony between truth and beauty, reinforcing the idea that true beauty is found in truth and vice versa. The serene and graceful posture of the figure reflects this intrinsic connection.

  • Light and Shadow: The play of light and shadow on the statue emphasizes the contrast between clarity and obscurity, mirroring the poem’s exploration of light (truth) dispelling darkness (deception).

  • Spiritual Dimension: The classical and divine nature of the statue aligns with the poem’s spiritual themes, invoking a sense of divine presence and wisdom in the search for truth and beauty.

The photograph, with its classical architectural backdrop, adds a sense of timelessness and reverence to the statue, enhancing the overall impact of your poetic dialogue.

It's wonderful to see how art and poetry intertwine to convey profound messages. Thank you for sharing this beautiful image. 🌟~

We are the WEAVERS ~ Threads of Time




We are the WEAVERS
Threads of Time

we gave a cry and all rejoiced for this our birth complete
we are our first steps greeted with open arms
our first word that brought an admiring smile.

trace the years and their memories await anew
a montage, a kaleidoscope, of one's life view
sounds, impressions, of place time and moments sweet
where our dreams and our days come to meet
praise, punishment, joy and pain come to define
a life known as rightly yours, a life lived as mine
and what brings reason to pause this very day
but the wondrous Creation given by Life along its way
a breath, be it Life's endearing embrace
upon a time line of memories now to place
decades of moons have brought mystery and delight
magical be this waxing and waning of Creation's light
and so this heart, this soul, in time's grasp and claim
be held in the spirit and glory of our Creator's name
be it of yesterdays or days yet, our dreams enfold
each new gaze, a breath, a sigh, be this our story told
with threads of time Life's cloak we to weave
BE the warp and weft of DIVINITY and TRUTH conceived.

*Note: Warp and Weft are the two basic components used in weaving to turn thread or yarn into fabric. The lengthwise or longitudinal, warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a frame or loom, while the transverse, weft yarn is drawn through, thread by thread, over and under the warp.
And so it is, the vertical, the warp, be that which is of DIVINITY... as Above, so Below, for the GOOD of the ONE. The in/out within the horizontal, the weft, be that which is of TIME and SPACE, for the JOURNEY of the SELF.
