Arisen

Who can say what the morrow might bring? Perhaps are darkest fears will be confirmed, or our greatest wish fulfilled. Nonetheless, we are deciding this very minute what to make of it, and so it comes to pass in time. Courage is the absence of defense as surely as a terror stricken mind conceives...

A Wisp in the Ether

A gentle murmur upon the breath of time; Delivered by the stars, and cradled in the hearth of desire; We speak for a moment, and remember forever how the moment was used. Did we offer ourselves as we are, naked and alone? Or, did we cloak ourselves with raiment intended to ameliorate what cannot be... Sign in to see full entry.

Tolerance is Reflective of Strength, Not Weakness

Hitler was not evil, but afraid. Having failed as an aspiring artist, his self-loathing was projected onto people who reminded him of himself. Hitler was not fully German, but part Polish. There are also signs of physical disease present, namely Parkinson's. Is it no wonder that he sought to free... Sign in to see full entry.

Incandescence

Lit from within, and agog with energy; what is eternal can never be extinguished by the belief that it is anything less. Take your seat in the sacred circle of life, and discover that there are no strangers beside you. The wished for fades from awareness, as the dawn lights the journey that has no...

Forgetting to Love

I hold you in effigy, and forget to love. What you give me is all important, and remembering every detail replaces the decision to remember why I have chosen it.

The Sword of Truth

The sword of truth is never hurtful: the hurt it appears to inflict is only an imagined threat upon a wounded illusion; Likewise, the weapon of words that intends to harm cannot be truth, for truth seeks only to dispel illusion, and to heal what cannot be real. Truth brings both participants to an... Sign in to see full entry.

Rose Without a Thorn

Behold the lesson that the rose imparts: A symbol of timeless beauty, of unsurpassed magnificence, a rose in full bloom removes the breath of those who pause to appreciate it; Nurtured in soil, watered by storms, and strengthened by sunlight, the rose reflects none of the tribulations that enabled...

What Do You Believe?

Simply stating a belief cannot hide one's true beliefs, for the truth reveals itself in the interaction. What we give to our relationships with others is our true belief about what is there. Do we believe others are at fault, or responsible in some way, or deserving of punishment? We must if we... Sign in to see full entry.

Afraid to Die

The innumerable images of death we witness are mere symbols of a condition we believe is inevitable. To the mind, death of physical form represents and end to the associations created from it. It is this ending that is frightful, which is all fear of death is. An end of being right; an end of having... Sign in to see full entry.
