I am the glass shattered
On a clear
Winter day
Appearing as ice
On an otherwise
Unbroken surface
I am the dove
Holding her sound
Against
The weight
Of the gray sky
I am the mountain
Beneath the sun
Holding the tendrils
Of winter
To not unleash
My power
Upon the plains
I am the air
You breath
Whether or not
You call me
She

Are we ever just this one thing?
I think not.
Unless we only evaluate in the space of frozen time.
My girl, my prior header on my previous design blog, she shines; yet, I changed her time and time again. I have photos of her change, all of which I have not posted. it was an expose of moments and I dared to paint and repaint the canvas.
The point is, none of us are ever just one thing, and when we judge others, we freeze them in time. We see an encapsulated moment, while still, perhaps, allowing ourselves evolution.
Ah, so now what, my friends, now what? Shall we move on?

Our Get out of the Box page, as well as Humanitarian Efforts and poetry and writing page are periodically updated. The Open Letter to God page, is a static page, remaining that way to allow for and welcome new comments. It is anticipated that we will update as time goes on to provide more letters to God.
Last night, we received a comment on our most recent post on Get Out of the Box, which we wanted to highlight and share with you today.
We look forward to more comments!
“In the book `Conversations with God’ the author asks why God allows such things as these to occur. God replies by saying, `Why don’t you?’ ( A collective ‘you’ as well as individual). In the course of reading from Mr. Walsch’s and God’s Conversations I begin to see that, while God could do anything, what ‘She’ will do is another thing. We can’t condition The Unconditioned by saying ‘It’ will or won’t do such and such, but it is clear enough, that while we are here, God would like to see US, WE, proceed to do the kinds of things you are aspiring to. WE, with God, can do anything, but it’s like we are be asked to make up our minds about what is important to us, and to behave accordingly. Our eternal lives do not begin at death. If they did, they would not have been Eternal! We are now, even with bodies, amidst our eternal lives- all
of us!
A program called Humanities Team is very much involved in helping the planet awaken. It declares `We are One’. You + I + God = ONE. It also declares” Ours is not a better way. Ours it but another way.”
( This name and address ‘cell’ is getting in the way of writing!)
Best to you, me,
Dave”

Once upon a time
A long, long time ago
(I think)
there was a peach tree
and a village
which grew
around it.
Many
Many
Many Grandmothers
and
Grandfathers
grew up around the peach tree.
The peach tree watched
the children’s birthdays.
Watched them grow.
Marry.
Have babies.
Who
would
have
babies.
Birthdays
around
the peach tree.
The peach tree
watched
friends grow
who did not know they
were friends.
The candles lit
in the homes.
It sighed.
The candles flickered
through the night.
One night,
a cold wind blew.
And blew,
and blew.
The peach tree
shook
in its roots.
It shivered.
He remembered,
seeding.
Little seed.
Placed in the ground.
Furrow.

and apart
from
the earth.

arid
dirt.
red
against the sky.
brown limbed fingers
dropping
uprepared
alone
yet
joined
fingers
dropping
me
into the ground.
The darkness
sitting
time
lost
no meaning
finding how to breath
within the dirt,
time passed.
I would call out,
a voice,
remembering,
my mother.
growing inside of her.
celebration.

light.
the Sun.
Worship.
harshness,
the hands,
plucking to be fed,

Searing into
my skin.

“Momma?”
not even the gift of silence.

remorseless.

not yet born.

Yachts,
slapping at me.
I must stop this now.
this torture.
I was taught,
to reach,
toward light.
I call out.
Again.
Cry.
Sing.
Murmer,
last breath,
against,
the red sky.
I grew,
without breath,
taller.
I hold on,
for Mother.
I stood beneath
the ground
waiting.
I can see.
Light.
Mother?
I look around
trees
cut upon
thatched
adorning “homes”.

Mother?

I’m naive.
I have not yet coordinated the right tag words to the consequent tag surfing.
So be it.
Yet, I recognize certain principles to be true. And yes, perhaps it is very Toltec of me, I belive we have each our own version of truth.
In the meantime, rules for blogging:
1. See it
2. Read it
3. Feel it
4. Hear it
Then,
ask yourself,
if the curtain were drawn back,
would you be tall enough,
to withstand your post or comment?

Within the last day or so, I came across a blog about Kiva.org…click to direct link…and I have been thinking about the concept of Kiva.org off and on since I have seen this post. This is not the first time I have heard of this concept, but this time, after reading the blog posting, it stayed in my head.
Posted by James under Charity , Websites
A friend of mine just turned me onto this organization that does some pretty amazing things so I wanted to share it with you all. The basic premise of it is that they create a system where people can lend money to entrepreneurs in third world countries so they can get a business off the ground. Then, once they do, the donors are repaid. We’re not talking about starting corporations or anything here, either.
For example, I was told of one story where a a woman had a peanut butter business in which she was pressing the peanuts by hand. Someone loaned her $50 with which she was able to buy a machine to press the peanuts. She tripled her production and was able to repay her donor almost immediately. Pretty awesome that the type of money that we piss away in a bar in one night can be used to make such a significant, direct, impact in someone’s life.
If you would like to get involved, please click here and do so.”
This morning on NPR.org I listened to a program about children working 12 hours a day without the hope of ever paying off the debt their family incurred, creating their indentured servitude.
BBC News: Bonded to the loom: March 29, 2007

Kiva.org makes me wonder, is there a way to reach out and begin the end to this daily inhumanity?

By chance…(is there chance?)…I clicked upon a blog that spoke of Cosmic Ordering. The author translates “Cosmic Ordering” into a phrase fairly well known today, The Law of Manifestation.
The author, Kathryn Cassidy, has a series of articles within her blogspot talking about the Law of Attraction/Cosmic Ordering/Universal Laws. She higlights a new film being released on May 10, 2007, called “Pass it On”. For anyone who has seen The Secret, this sounds like the next movie must-see………..
If you have seen the film about the Law of Attraction called The Secret, you will definitely not want to miss Pass It On. It is an interactive motion picture that delves into the questions everyone has been asking for centuries; How do I become Wealthy? What do I do with my ideas? How can someone find their passion? What does it take to truly be Happy?
The film premieres on May 10th 2007. The idea is that if each person ‘passes it on’ we can make a worldwide, positive change to the perception of how we create our own opportunities and happiness – and ultimately our entire reality.
If you are visiting this blog for the first time, it contains information (that I know works) about manifesting. You’ll probably need to read from the bottom upwards, as some posts link into the next and they post on top of the older one.”

Mother
I ask You
to tell me
I know nothing
suckle sweet
the milk
my mouth turning
in its innocence
you cannot
see or hear me
I am a gnat
buzzing at your skin
not drawing blood
annoying
nonetheless
I turn
my head
my lips
my life
to you

I find my way to You
between the shrilling
ringing of the phone
the blare of horns
the hum
of the computer
I close my eyes
clear away
the veil of darkness
descended
since waking
hooking my smallest finger
into the edge
of the fabric
closest to my right eye
tugging
a sliver of light
paved stones
trees blanketing
vision to the left and right
blurring
the apex
You stand
glowing
arms outstretched
I remain
tugging
at the fabric
my finger grown tired
the light fades

If I could
dip my hand
into the dimensions
cup my hand
right and left
feel the surge
of energy
right what is wrong
with this world
If I could
dip my hand
into time and space
and but see
the particles
shift and dance
a part of me
If I could dip
my hand
across the sky
scoop up
peace
I could sift
parallel worlds
sit them side by side
upon the ground
If I could
dip my hand
within the sky
stop seeing with my eyes
stop breathing with my brain
If I could dip
my hand
within the sky
forget what I have been taught
and find the child in me
If I could dip
my hand within the sky
would I
could I
feel what it is to create
the love of creation
bathing over me
