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.

Her calling, her calling...

Her calling, her calling...

Torrential rains upon roof be they heard

Thunderous calls be this night’s word

Storming skies dark and shadowed they be 

The dawning, and alas, light anew onto thee

What secrets does Mother Earth yet bare

Heed her call for our grace, for our knowing care

Her bounty, our harvest, with sun and rain, blessed be

Her calling, her calling, from mountain tops, sea to sea.

Spoils of Spring

Libation ever sweet

The quiver of new grass below my feet

To Riverside Park, Dad and I did go

For the picking wild in sun’s warm glow

The scent of green, budding golden light

Yellow flowers, such an alchemic delight

Gathered many and held in hand with love

Mother Earth thanked as too, God above

Be these to be my very first bouquet

I with Dad gifted to Mom on Mother’s day.

Peeking Green

Peeking Green

Peeking green through melted snow
Winds of winter in whispers yet blow
A sounding serenade through barren branches heard
And the coveted song of a nesting songbird
The crisp leaves of Fall's season yet found
With broken twigs upon this awaiting ground
Driving rains upon emergent buds of green
Winter giving over to Spring in this moment seen
Felt is the quiver below my feet
Pulsing be Mother Earth as Spring she greets.

Mother Earth ~ In Loving Tribute...

Mother Earth

Mother Earth her nurture in blessings known

Embraced by the warming sun

By vistas of light majestic

The moon, the stars and galaxies afar

Mother Earth her flowing waters 

Streams, rivers, oceans, seas

Mountains, valleys, fields of grace

Bounty and beauty, within our hearts to place

In revelations and callings devine

Her Spirit ever in present time

The NOW of her wondrous gifts she to give

And WE nourished by Her will to live.

She as ONE

She As ONE

Her wrist with beads and ribbon bright

Her hand with earth's bounty and warming light

Holds she the sands of biding time

Earth's treasure and she as ONE divine.

Chief Seattle's speech (by Mark Sawalha)

stillness pulsing
quietude sounding
I in the embrace of PRESENCE.

I hear the silence
the harmonies, the music
of the sun by day
of the stars and moon by night
I hear the melodies of the firmament in vistas near and far
the rustle of leaves, 'tis the dance of winds
'tis the call of flowing waters
the resounding cresting waves
the thunderous rains echoing from afar
the songbirds heralding the dawn
I hear the silence
the wisdom of the ancients
ALL is sound and ALL is silence
the PRESENCE be known
the rapture be felt
the WORD proclaims its TRUTH.

...mother earth... haiku reflections

mother earth calling

mother earth's pulsing womb

As Above So Below

as above, so below
branch and bough reaching to heaven's heights
roots to the deep depths of mother earth
'tis the light ever in quest
'tis the depths ever our behest.
