EVENTS AS THEY UNFOLD. THE WORLD CUP WILL RUNNETH OVER! DON’T MISS THE ACTION! 

 What we see 

Is so limited,

What we believe

Is even more

Suspect,

What we sense

When the radiance

Of the audience wraps

Its invisible arms 

Around us, when

What we feel nudging

Us from behind and

Imploring us to do,

Lies before us,

And how to serve

Transforms our lives.

So for the moment I

Will believe nothing,

Yet, I will embrace 

With my outstretched

Arms the assignment

From angels and guides

That are embodied within,

As are my head and heart,

And even if I am busted

For praying, I will discover

Unknown rooms within me

That will sustain me as long

As I draw a breath in this life.

Bruce and the East Bay Dreamers

 

We Embrace Hades Town

Because we must learn to befriend Those below, who are punched down, disabled, waiting to be housed by those who hold the key, So, at times we can’t sit back in our theatre seats. At times the silence is deafening, we’re forever divided, excluded and disempowered to stop the brutality we see all around us. Still, we join the rallies and say no. And yet, we must also embrace that friend and enjoy that ‘good small’ cup of coffee, while we still can.

 

                     All ya’ have to do . . . 

Is lift a finger and touch the life that

Exists below you, behind you and within

You to embrace  what you were born to

Live. That pool is deep, and the life swimming

In those waters carries the knowledge you

Require. Even if you touch it ever so lightly,

with a tiny finger, the darkness moves toward

The light, and the implements of destruction

You feared become upended and harmless. 

Yes, it’s a long haul, back and forth, up and

Down, taking those underworld passages, 

but well worth the journeys.

  Think Twice! 

“Get over it; ”I couldn’t care less,” “whatever!”  Behind or below  every sentence we speak, there lives a shadow.

That lurks as surely as those childhood snubs that are so familiar. Even that book we are writing finds us doubting and critiquing the very gems of insight and creativity that bring us alive. The library you carry within, the research you’ve held for decades, can seemingly, in a dream or a flash, appear like an ancient crash, where face down we confront the demons of the past that seem to attack us head on, and all too quickly, remind us of our failures and missteps that arise like unwelcome Zombies.

In that seminal moment though, we do have an ally, within, that can pause, and reflect, choose and explore, and yes, even dare to seek help from comrades.  

Yes, that pause! There we find that secret passageway where we  remember who we were called to be in this life, so that we can  continue to find our way home.
