This Season of Autumn ~ This Sunday Known

the Creator's Will, be it known in expressions of divinity

the beauty, the truth, in an ever present and abiding eternity

time in its timeless embrace of change, evolution, and light

be this the rising of sun, a dawning new, twilight begetting night

mankind in joyful encounter and so we pray

nature in its ever present bounty day by day 

a child born and all in celebration divine

so be this gift of BEING and the grace of time

a life, a soul, to its eternal heavenly place

memories and blessings within heart we place

this season of Autumn,  this Sunday known

by the CREATOR’S WILL, truth and beauty shown

behold the wondrous in each breath that marks our day

blessed be the beauty, the truth, the CREATOR’S WILL, THE WAY.

A September Sunday Morning

Experience the BEINGNESS of ALL
To BE is the ever present ardent call
Birth Eternal in thought, vision and wakeful determination
This the endowment of Spirit in creative celebration
The breath, the ebb and flow of time and life we embrace
And within our pulsing heart a moment of eternity we place
Season of change and our life to divinely unfold
Our light, our form, our vision, BE our story told.

beyond all mounting despair
be the knowing of the Creator's care
boundless be this cloak of Spirit's grace
within our soul eternity placed.

Astronomy Picture of the Day ~ 2011 September 2

ever constant is change
ever in flight is time
you who bear a name
known in fields other than mine
light of sun, moon and many a star
in this heart and in vista's far
You the CREATOR with loving grace
Within our soul eternity placed.

Interlude

interlude
that space
the embrace of solitude
the touch of silence
the voiceless guide that calls
the known
a PRESENCE
a timeless moment
deep sleep
a flight to eternity
a pause
quietude
and ALL IS.

Chinese Character for Eternity (Yung)

"This simple and poetic character for eternity- formed around the image of running 'water,' with the two horizontal strokes 'denoting form and ripples' - contains the seven fundamental strokes in calligraphy, from which every character in the Chinese language can be made." "The Spirit of the Chinese Character," Barbara Aria with calligraphy by Russell Eng Gon.

A Gift
for anyone who enjoys the play of words

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
~Robert Frost~
and so the echoes of heart, soul, and quest, be heard...

Beyond

I hear a voice beyond the words spoken
A voice speaking in the silence between each word read
The voice calls to my heart and the spirit is led
Beyond the walls that house us in the filled room
Beyond all color, line and form, beyond the breath
Beyond all present to a time that fills eternity
To a place vacant of need
To that place of silent being
To that place of silent being.
