RESURRECTED SELF

Everyone wants to be cared for:

To be loved and

To be the object of admiration and respect;

Not to think that they deserve the scorn of another or

That anyone could their goodly self reject;

So they turn to each other in the hope

That they will connect with the thought

That they will overcome the pain of death and

Their fine spirit resurrect.

QUESTION OF PRAYER

How can I pray?

When I am enamored of everything I have got

When I am oblivious to pain and suffering

And do not think of what I have not;

The answers to all of life’s questions;

Freedom from problem, sin or death;

Love that will incorporate the ages;

A surety of another breath.

 

My journey undulates from here to eternity

Depending upon what I think I need

Settling most times on the superfluous

Wallowing in my pride, lust and greed.

 

Empty me upon your altar, Father;

Take the sacrifice that I do not know how to give;

Remember we are only mortal, flesh and blood;

Embrace the sacred part of me and

The foolish part forgive.

BONA VENTURA.

Embrace the journey gently!

Kindly view the course!

Know that much depends upon

Your direction to the Source;

Alpha and Omega,

Beginning and the end;

As much a memory to be lost

As escort, guide and friend.

Every life we shared

In every moment that was a gift

Is waiting

In the darkened excursion

That seems so much a rift.

We are life itself

In the stillness

We so much denied;

Now that being comes to fore

When our denial finally dies.

Oneness found like before the fall;

All guilt and repentance gone;

Life eternal

After a short step through confusion

Will be for us born.
