Isle of the Beatific

Though I find myself cast upon windswept seas, and battered by omnipotent forces, I know in my heart that it is but a horrible dream; I call silently to the One, Who controls both wind and waves, sea and sky, and begin to consider in earnest what lies before me; By looking without resisting what is...

Wanderlust

It is by our decisions about what we see that we create ourselves, and experience the consequences of that creation. Free will dictates that we have a choice in the way we choose to see: either fully responsible or being a victim of circumstances and people. Love frees the wanderer by letting him...

Peaceful Inculcation

A simple observation obviates the oblivion of obedience, and the fears obviously engendered; The peaceful do not preach, prattle, or prey upon insensibilities, but accept without question what is plainly attestable; Therefore, what is given without effort remains effortless and natural, without...

Ripples in the Pool

No action is insignificant, and nothing placed upon the pool of consciousness lands without reverberation; Like begets like, for each action is born of itself and is fostered by being given; Change comes only when the ripples are seen to be the remembrance of previous actions, rather than a cause of...

The Lesson of the Lotus

Revered in Eastern religion, the lotus flower is representative of enlightenment. He who partakes of the lotus fruit ingests a powerful narcotic, which induces sleep and forgetfulness. He is born alone, in the murky depths of water and mud- rich soil from which life springs. The murkier the water,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Goddess comes when I have purified myself before Her altar. Her gentle presence descends as my own presence fades away; Her magic gilds the evening clouds, and births a soothing melody upon the land. She is everywhere, and nowhere; I realize my diminution is her calling. Finally, I speak,... Sign in to see full entry.

Simply Somnolence

Hide yourself no longer beneath the blankets, where visages grotesque and frightful lurk outside; 'Twas only sleep, and now the dawn gently breaks upon the sight. Scenes of loss and death were but dreams, where actors took their roles and pretended to hold you prisoner; How winsome they become, once... Sign in to see full entry.

Peace; Be Still

Just for a moment, turn of the incessant activity and noise. Gaze at these words and think on them. They are meant as a gift, if you would but listen and receive. You are already there, in the solitude and silence of the moment. All that is needed is to stop searching for it. The searching ends when... Sign in to see full entry.

Is Anything Sacred Anymore?

She entered the woodline unaware of my flagging presence. There I stood, hands on my legs, gasping for air after pounding on a dead tree that was stuck in mid-fall. I was completely exhausted, but so was she. It was the height of deer season, and this gentle soul was frantic with fear and pushed to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Tree of Life

Ageless stature, an amalgam of strength, beauty, and fortitude. Its many furrows and knots a testament of tribulation and determined growth. The tree of life continues to spread its roots in all directions, seeking the nourishment that colors its leaves and brings its fruit. In standing firm, it... Sign in to see full entry.
