Heaven is the essence in the longing, the edge that keeps me looking toward a higher flight, a longer lasting night, deeper satisfaction.

The dry farmlands beckon him to find the mice along its endless stretch. Crisp, evening air move puffy clouds along the skyline, as I become one with the vision before me. Another day to give thanks and realize I am part of...</description></item><item rdf:about="http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ariala/633991"><title>Death</title><link>http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ariala/633991</link><description>"He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces..."

He had to remain in Heaven. Speechless, my spirit soars now in gratitude. I glean of this, our mystery, with a heart of an apprentice and the eye of star-struck wanderer. Companion of exhiliration you enchant me with your verse.

When our moods turn to thunder separately or alone, and when we're hit by bolts of anxiety and nothing makes sense, still we know where to turn. This oneness carries us to the...</description></item><item rdf:about="http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ariala/633523"><title>Gaelic Prince</title><link>http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ariala/633523</link><description>I hold a smooth stone, pink quartz in my hand... Eyes closed, manifestations created. The dulcimer plays, harps harmonize, flutes echo, mesmerizing essence of your sweet laughter comes back to me like a kiss.

I sit and gaze from inside cubicle chamber walls, dreaming. August call. You and I lounging toes in sand, cool drink in hand, generous on the kisses and suntan oil.

Colors of agate-studded forests light the path. Pinon, salt cedar and quaking aspen lift their arms and hands to praise God. Paper birch records it all in its wrappings. Foothills shadow the desert below, as boulders bulge from growing hills.

Paper thin spacetime, curving toward source and consecration. Companion with divinity creation manifested by thought. Visualization emerging into form. Empty air, my canvas. Mind, my paintbrush.
