If you know low life and royalty
If you know how both of these work
If you have experienced both enough
You are blessed. You are blessed.

If you learn selfishness and also know selflessness
If you know which one to practice
If you know to see everything as an event
You are blessed. You are blessed.

If you can stay with the crowd.
And practice their idiosyncrasy
And if you still be yourself
You are blessed. You are blessed.

If you mingle with the crowd.
At the same time, stand out,
If you know to keep virtue while;
Being non-virtuous then,
You are blessed you are blessed.

If you practice all traits of men
And if that doesn't affect your self
If you still are unaltered
You are blessed, you are blessed.

If you know the fine line
Which separates habit from addiction
If you can manage to he safe
You are blessed you are blessed.

-The Silent Poet

On your Marc, Get Set,  GO!!

3 Marks, in 2 days
A sign...
Obvious in fact.

First there was the Mark of the Cathedral
Perfect in It"s Reverence,
Baptism of Creativity.

Then, there was the Racehorse.
Faster than a speeding Bullet,
able to leap tall buildings with a single ping

And then finally,
the one whose name means Beautiful...
Artist, Creativity, Perfection..
the only one who matters...

Three Marks, one Anointing.
A confirmation of Love
An Ordination of Willingness

God's pen upon the paper.
the true Mark of Humanity
Blessing.

In all circumstances
Blessing.
Peace, Holy Spirit.

And So It Is.

Prayer Balloon, UP, UP,  UP!!!

I finished up with my Gratitudes,
and ran into a better Idea of Living, along the way!
Its called a White Flag.

Its the ONE I've carried Inside of Myself
for my own Looking Up…Surrender
So close, that the trajectory is straight Up into the Shine of a GREATER LIGHT.

No One else around to make me do it, be it, or Live It.
The Kind of Choice that looks so beautiful
that you actually do say “Please", and "Thank You”
just like you were going to Thanksgiving with a relative.

Cause after all, isn’t that whats beautiful about Life?
that it can be about Please and Thank You??
that its that simple,.. everybody gets it

The Prayer of Gratitude…
That theres actually Nothing to do...
That its all Already Perfect.

Does that mean I would give Up my Freedom for a cookie?
that its THAT kind of NOTHING to do?
No. Its the Kind that says, Its worth it… Get back Up
This Life of Freedom, of Goodness, Of Love, of Sharing.. IS worth It!
God’s call Within.  Heaven..!!!!
PEACE, with eternal FREEDOM as Its Mate.
Real Heaven..
That’s a Love Affair worth Living For..
The Kind that Songs were written about..

Freedom, Holy Freedom,
Rested in PEACE
That might just be…
Can You SEE the Light?
...A World That Works for Everyone
Miracle!!!
And so It Is.

Holy Giving in the action of a toss
Bulls EYE!!
See the center of Divine Intention??
Pure Harmony in Flight
Each thought out..
Love in Gratitude

Given for the Holy Joy of it!!
This Game is ONE!!!!      

Played on the Field beyond Right and Wrong,
There is only Grace..
Love's Victory...Given by the Hero's of her  own making

Love, Beauty, Joy, Harmony..
All my names...!
And what of the refs.. Who are they?

Well in Heaven , they are the Gifts...
And on earth, possibly a withholding
Go within, and Bless all the forgiveness that has already been given
Without any effort
And YOU SHALL SEE THE PLEASURE OF YOUR OWN FRUIT
Bingo!!!

And So It Is.

Holy Spirit, Your name is Pope
Call for Life as Un-embodied meaning
I stand in Salute, and release FAITH.

Hiding in the Invisible,
as Openness for a Freedom that knows no Flag,
I claim Life without Victory.

Story written upon each Wall
From Vietnam to New Berlin,
Family Inheritance,
Reflected in the Sunlight.

A little girls Dad,
A Fathers Son,
I SEE my Brothers Name,
for the very first time.

Swallowing Heart of Grief,
Held imprisoned by tears of Unbelieving,
I remember the moment
you did not come home.

It was the end of Life for all of us.

Why do I remember?
It was on this day that you moved thru the hour glass

Put into heaven by the ****** needle of a soldiers pain,
Your Heart is Thanksgiving.
I am here with you.

No need to explain.
Your Choice, Victory
Mine, Stillness.

both just simple paths,
on this road that serves Love.

Footprint of Compassion, ONE Step.
I Claim LIFE.
I Claim FREEDOM.

And So It Is.

Holy Spirit,

Tell Me what You Know
Today is a day of Miracles, according to Hafiz
And instead, I ask you for the listening Wisdom..

How can a friend, cherished and adored
be the knife that Mark Anthony sees,
the Hand inside the Soul of Brutus..
How?

All the world seeks the cure of single mindedness
the effects of cancer, Aids, Ebola
and yet does nothing to acknowledge the Word of Welcome held within them
There is more mystery here than could ever be in the fuel of a Rocket

Can You Hear the Pleasure of the Earth  Rejoicing for Its Victory of Faith?
I can… It’s Beautiful.
And yet it was called single mindedness for many years
as She sat alone and cried for the destruction of her Being..

Even then the community rampage of the Sovereign Greed did not stop.
Witnessed by All, Ignored TRUTH of  the Condemning ReBalancing
Have we given Up the Gift that Truth in Accusation Brings?

From Maraschino to My Lai Trial, you are just God’s Witnessing…….
Violence held, within the  Intention of Pure Goodness
Your Devoted Presence is a Peace filled World

Cal Anderson, I always wondered as to your medal.
shall I call you Osiris ???
Thinking it undeserved,
I now hammer at the forge of my own being
and with apology, call you grateful LIFE

More than a victory of deserving,
Love's acknowledgement of Steadfast Being...
Life’s right to Justice on Her terms, not ours

Peace Holy Spirt.
for the Victory,
You are ONE.

Grace in Blessing
And So It Is.
