DESTINATION ONE
FIRST LIGHT
FIRST LIGHT – we are awakened by our Soul to the necessity
of a spiritual quest. It may commence as a longing, a yearning,
a feeling of emptiness, a deep loss - gently nudging us into
the pursuit of an awakening, or often, at times, something much
more impactful, dramatic, taking us to the very precipice to
correct our course, all depending on our level of resistance.

SOMEONE WAITING
All along there has been someone
waiting for you in the clearing
of your heart – a tender, gentle
presence created from Divine will –
the essence of you – the universal
you – the perfect you just waiting
for you to finally arrive.
All along this you has waited for
you to find your way, cut your
path through the challenges of life –
watching you live in desperate search
of love, of home, of happiness - alone –
never fully able to reach out and
pull you into oneness.
Today take a moment to reflect on the
you who waits – stop and look within –
say hello to this you – spend a
moment before you go on your way!

SET OUT IN SEARCH
Journeys - personal, emotional, spiritual –
whether set out in search of redemption,
revitalization, or inspiration, with a heart
in need of forgiveness or expansion or
just love; require a unique sense of
courage, a certain emotional cunning –
to feel, to respond, yet all along avoiding
the full impact of trepidation, while
deciphering the cryptic signs - knowing
even in its greatest confusion there is order –
meaning – significance - purpose - synchronicity –
allowing all who venture forth a chance
to expand, to grow, to evolve: small steps
at first, then longer strides, until leaps of faith
are typical and standard - with large chunks
of everlasting life offered up for the consuming.

WORD POWER
Words. Each and every word that we
exchange in the hope of, in search of,
meaningful connections, leaves
our lips full of vitality, plump with
purpose, striving to alert the receiver
of our intention or course of action.
Words are our messengers – the foot
soldiers of our existence – able to convey
love or turmoil, peace or conflict,
set out to promote or blossom – or
diminish or quell – to tell a story,
inspire, explain an action, or a reason
for existence.
Let us be aware of the power of
our words, carefully selecting each,
forming them into phrases, sentences,
understanding that too few or too
many may help or hinder – requiring
us to choose wisely, never wasting
a single one.

AN ESSENTIAL NOTE
We are each a distinct, unique, succinct
expression of life – a leaf, a petal,
a magnificent wonder birthed
in a moment of time to flourish and
shine – a vestige of a creative force,
budding and blooming, reaching out
to fuse its original destiny.
In this presence, we singularly grasp
the torch of all existence, surging forward
with our Soul’s strength to forge our
desired contribution, etching upon this
eternity a lasting wonder – a flash
of beauty upon the retina of all existence.
Know all of this is a perfect moment,
never forgotten or erased, instead, an
essential note in the symphony of
this perfect being, forever pushing and
encouraging each tone, hereafter, to
reach for timbre yet unheard of –
unimagined – reframing the sonorous
song of perpetual becoming.

WITHIN US NOW
Within us now is all the wisdom we seek –
all the compassion possible to feel –
all the wonder anyone could wish to experience –
all the magic waiting to be performed –
every miracle bursting forth into life.
Within us now is all eternity –
the past, the present, the future –
the potential moment –
the vision of heaven on earth –
the suffering with its lessons waiting to be revealed –
our Soul – our God – our magnificence.
Within us now is all existence flexing
its creative muscles – urging us on
to our purpose, our destiny –
saying yes even when we say no –
cajoling us forward with arms outstretched
to catch us with each tentative step
we harness the courage to take.

IN COLOR
Often, it is as if we see the world
in black and white, unaware
of the possibility of seeing in color,
and in this black and white world
we exist, living our lives, although
quite sure of something missing,
we cannot pinpoint what it is.
When we are awake, in and
with God, the color returns,
first in flashes and splashes,
later in vibrant moments,
and finally, the light of love
colorizes our total perception,
all of it: we, it, they are alive
in light and wonderful color.
Then, only then do we understand
the true potential of existence;
then, and only then, do we know
Divine life, which is the very
radiance and colors of love,
of full compassionate human
being; of perfect life alive.

GLORIOUS UNFOLDING
The moments of our lives cascade,
then arrive like the pounding surf,
each separate but equal, always
full and robust, beckoning for our
purposeful attention, reminding us
of where our focus belongs - here,
now, present.
Let us take firm hold of this being,
turning away, politely, from what
was, or speculating on what might
be, and instead: plunge; dive; Soul
first into the foaming pleasure
of this living.
Our life, this life – needs, requires our
full participation; no half effort will
accomplish the sincere involvement
warranted, rather, let us take this
moment, and each following moment,
head-on, thirsty for its magic, its
glorious unfolding.

SHEDDING
We must shed the skin
of previous being, former
lives, encrusted memories
rooted through tears
and turmoil, plastered
firm on waiting healthy
prospective living, allowing
these carnival, Mardi Gras
facades to crack, chip away,
dismantled piece by ache filled
piece - to dislodge, unhinge,
falling to oblivion, dust to
dust, as fresh light calls
forth the impeded imaginings,
new life revealed, awakened,
we stretch, once again, to be
transfigured, resurfaced, evolved.

OPEN TO BE
Lord, let me stretch
beyond this life, tall, stellar,
prepared to navigate the unseen,
ready to fathom the shards
of conscious awakening
yet to be set in motion, dormant,
but pulsing with potential –
grace my understanding.
Lord, often these pursuits
leave me wanting,
alone in chilled corridors
languishing, short of breath,
eyes clinched tight, arms flailing
for connection, dragging
my limp spirit over the frozen,
smooth marble of the impenetrable.
Lord, if not me why not me,
please allow my entry,
know I am alive,
wanting, fully skilled
to walk erect through
the mire of myriad potential,
with mind connected Soul
outstretched, open to be.

CONNECTED WITHIN
Within connected consciousness we exist, whole
and fully supported with our visions, hopes, desires;
solitary and intricately shared, reverberating,
vibrating, from local space throughout the whole –
all individual beats of a magnificent spiritual drum,
pounded in syncopated splendor, coupled with
like expressions, until a resounding ocean of clear
intention surfaces, moving tsunami like throughout
the one mind of existence, attracting, calling forth,
what might be - should be - and now, with this tumult –
could be, very possibly, communally expressed.
Know, our individual perception of a world worth living,
fostering incubating, nourishing, fermenting, finds
its very origin in our singular, personal imagination,
our audacity to visualize a more pertinent existence,
a more bountiful and appealing being, a way forward
to a shared joy, a collective happiness, a lasting hope.

In the perfect peace

I seek nourishment,

free of it, of the me
who will not give up

THE PURSUIT OF BECOMING
Allow what is to be, without fret
or sorrow or consternation,
being aware of the true destiny
of this existence, a life lived
in pursuit of becoming what
has been established before,
and will be forever after:
predestined destiny, the arising
of fuller, more fragrant possibility,
do not dismay but flourish,
for this time has been and will
forever be a charted course
of a multitude of strivings,
reaching’s, grasping’s, and when
a grip is found, seeking leverage,
summoning strength, and finding
new ground, an unexpected stance,
a wary balance, a fresh perspective,
a new, ripe beginning from which
to reach, to strive, to seek again
and again, and forever again –
in pursuit of becoming.

The road is crisp

worn bare and clean

of the multitudes,
who ventured onward,
with clear dreams
and overwhelming hope,
with faith as a shield,
determined to reach,
beyond the constraints
of nature, of God, of man,

enticing, fertile with possibility,
just waiting for the planting

knowing, it is in this place –

A FORMING ORDER
All the bits and pieces now strewn
across our lives, in time will find
their place, fulfill their purpose;
but for now, they must be patiently
and gracefully given room to settle
in, refine and adapt, to discover
their appropriate niche.
Let us follow suit, rolling with the
pats and punches, pliable and
malleable, stretching our arms
around the gentle mayhem –
all inclusive, comfortable with
the diverse views and perspectives.
As we do, know, within even this
seeming chaos exists a forming order,
setting the stage for a more essential
and commanding purposefulness –
a life more adequate than now imagined,
a destiny that serves us and all who
care to benefit – an effort of grace

FOSTERED GROWTH
What exists beyond life, existed before life,
the presence, the essence, established as
fact and form, inhabiting all time frames,
all sequences, presented as the possibility
to be engaged, offered for evolvement,
for enhancement, for becoming, in what
we conceive of as tangible life, to be allowed
fostered growth, creative blossoming,
experiential stretching; able to ascend
or pretend, or descend as occasioned,
and with this existential opportunity
a platform for emotional connection,
the extension for singular into plural
existence, forming a web of connection;
life integrated and tied together, using
free will to push the boundaries of possibility –
to grow life – establish potential, and
when fully exercised, to take this learning,
this insight, returning to where it originated,
to lasting consciousness, to share in morphic
resonance as needed, with all life becoming.

Existing within the livingness,
robust, pulsing with vitality,
energy destined for action,
the aliveness incorporates
a whole, a completeness,
with even beyond the present

Leaves thick, lush with May
life float and shift on the
invisible wind, shade forms
shadow scenes across red
brick walls and greener dew
damp lawns, birds express,
machines holler repetitive
roars, here, now, within.
Perhaps I would be better
to see without words, constructs,
terms and terminology,
my brain erased, cleared, reset
and with infant’s eyes peer into
the vastness of the whole me,
no distinctions, no borders,
just an all-inclusive everything.

POTENT BREATH
I ask at times
to dream aloud,
fluent and wide,
unclasped by concepts,
constraints, former truths,
stale dictums – free
of all that hampers
my being, my seeing,
this pursuit of purposeful
living.
Free of all these frameworks
constructed over difficult
times, or even in moments
of elation or triumph-
worthy then but now
just laden with dust,
their tarnished inspiration clouding
the clear skies of now –
free to turn the page
moving on.
And when I do
I breathe again,
clear, free, and fragrant –
with deep breaths
now unhindered -
the fresh and potent breath
overwhelms with its strength,
vitality, and sweetness –
I am alive again!

There is, within this world, the repetition
of an excellence, the continual unfolding
of a design that enhances what it supports;
as it encloses, fashions, and drives into
unique being – with its natural embodiment
providing the strong skeletal structure
individuated, leaving nothing to the randomness
of chance; rather preordaining, configuring
what was previously determined, sketched
through earlier contemplation, then pushed
to emerge as conceived - one blossom at
a time, one leaf, one twig, all prepared to act
as perceived; agreed upon by some earlier
intention, disposition: calmly and sincerely
becoming what is and will ever be the pursuit
of another iteration of the infrastructure
of creative Divine striving, reaching through
the rich dark earth, fixed on the nutrients
of growth, sun, air, water, love – then bursting
out, layered pursuit presented, audited,
then again, until life arrives, formed and sentient.

PRECIPICE OF BEING
A simple song – its soundless

the invitation of an outer
consciousness erupts
in flavored words, meandering
in meditation’s hollow moments,

shedding what was once

at my feet discarded, my Soul’s

LEAP OF FAITH
Often, we must take the leap of faith,
unsure of where we will land, knowing
only our true trajectory will be revealed
when we believe and trust enough,
to thrust into the unknown, taking God’s
hand in ours without hesitation.
Often, we pause, not from lack of faith,
but from fear of the unknown, as our
minds, stirring a mix of doubt and
apprehension, concocted to muddle
our intentions, works to weight our
feet and thwart our ascent with this
confusion.
Often the best course of action is
to leap before we look, hogtying
the internal and external naysayers,
keeping our eyes on the intended prize,
reminding ourselves that God wants
us to win, to thrive, to succeed at living;
and will, without doubt, ensure a safe
landing.

SUCH IS CONSCIOUSNESS
I face the magic alone
standing solitary beneath a lonely streetlamp.
I see only the illuminated world
and struggle to adjust my vision
to peer into the darkness.
This oasis of light protects me,
secures me like a warm blanket on a winter’s night.
I search the street signs
for an indication, a name, a marker,
any visual identification, label or framework.
Failing, I ask where I am?
Here and there is the response
from the hollow darkness.
I move quickly to the voice
and the light moves with me.
I run and the light runs with me.
Like a spotlight-chasing a spastic actor
who has forgotten his cues – the light follows.
Such is consciousness, a comforting light in an unlit world.

Often, we stretch to grasp something beyond our reach,
for a moment, during the reaching, our balance wanes
it is as if we become unfixed, unhinged, lost in free fall –
with our minds calculating the merits of retreat, or further
tether less commitment, as a burst of adrenaline stokes
our aching pride, pushing our outstretched desire within
tentative touch; now, we, realizing, as with all of life's
contests, more is required: all we cherish must be wagered
to own this prize, and before our yes is even conceived,
our Souls extend our reach beyond comprehension, grasping,
at last, our surfeit destiny, for now, our balance restored.

THE ASCENT
We hold the truth within our hearts,
so delicate, so fragile, yet when faced
without protection or defense, it appears
so seemingly obvious, straightforward,
even though for years we have missed
its point, its counterpoint.
Now, faced with pulling up a chair
to meet again this old friend, we find
ourselves reluctant, oddly shy and
reticent, wondering if anything so
quaintly parochial might still enliven
our pursuit, our purpose, our earthly
mission.
Perhaps all truth - personal, spiritual,
even universal - is simple and unassuming,
its challenge not in its concept, but more
in its adherence: the application, after the
answered supplication, our real Mount
Everest to climb, yet let us be reminded,
we are not alone in this ascent – our
friend, our companion, our true light
brightens every earnest step.

We set out upon our lives with equal

onward these desires lead us to our
waiting futures – more or less fulfilled
we often trim our sails yet still within

we push onward for what we dreamt
so perfect then – so stirring now

we unveil again once more as

Often, we must force ourselves
to see our world fresh – not from
preconceived associations and conditions
learned in moments of confusion or need,
but rather new, bursting with beauty and
wild wonder like a morning glory

Often, we must clear our eyes and minds
to sense our life fully – wiping away
the sleep of our lethargic awareness
until the dawn rips the horizon open
and we like the morning allow the light
to anoint our senses in fresh possibilities.
Often, we must refuse to go on and rather

The form is formless.
The whole is whole-less.
The pursuit of answers
finds us contained in a box,
hoping to find meaning from
our own confines, yet reaching out,
stretching our imaginations until
we collide with our own boundaries –
we must escape the box: so solidly
reinforced by our own perceptions,
so sure, we are of these fragments
pieced together by our worthy
strivings: we assess, we conceptualize,
we theorize, legitimize our stiff walls,
until we let go of false assumptions,
working to broaden the dimensions
of our false reality; stripping our own
self-image, our opinions, our very self –
the self-encountered and expected

limited view – and, as the layers fall,

sheltered – fostered and protected
for just this salient disturbance –
and in this tempest let us know
our God truly resides within with us,
to grasp our trembling hands, soothe
our Souls, and provide a place of peace
and perspective – hope and dignity –
true and lasting transcendence.

CATCH THE WIND
Often, we must slowdown in order
to find the true path we should be
traversing, we must listen to our
own rhythms to capture once more
the beat of our internal drummer -
to hear the song that felt so right
and perfect then.
Often, we must shed the rituals and
traditions that fill our days up,
overflowing with required activity
that has lost its original luster and
shine – allowing instead for moments
of quiet contemplation and reflection.
Often, we must open our hearts and
minds to a greater will, a more potent
destiny, to let go of all that is safe
and catch the wind - supported only
by our faith, our hope, our trust
in the divine grace that has carried
us this far so securely.

WAKE NOW
Wake now for God awaits
with the power of all creation
fueled by love and infinite kindness.
Wake now for God awaits
with a fullness of experience
surpassing all comprehension.
Wake now for God awaits
knowing only, you have the ability
to thrive in the vision – only you
move freely in this creation.
Wake now for God awaits
and the hosts of divine love
have watched over you
in the dark night – ensuring
your safety and protection –
waiting for the light of dawn.
Wake now and bring purpose
to this universe finding
the essence and center
of all that awaits.
Wake now for you too
are the God of a new day –
the transformation – the salvation.
Wake now and be reborn.

BEING AND BEINGNESS
We are each of us, singular or in plural,
the being of beingness, as its very essence
stretches to enlarge, grow, and evolve
through existential interaction.
Let us comprehend our primary cause,
our purposeful effect. Let us embrace
the beingness as it fuels our mastery
of life, of living, as it works with us and
through us encouraging, prompting,
clearing the way for our, and all humanity’s
progress. Touch the beingness within you
and surrounding you; listen deeply and
intently – working to discern its message,
knowing all this is essential to all aliveness;
celebrate the intention of collective being,
aware of the gentle hands of beingness
prompting the full accomplishment of
heaven on earth; be the being of beingness!

DESTINATION ONE OF STEEPLES
FIRST LIGHT
STAY TUNED FOR DESTINATION TWO
OF STEEPLES - SENSING GOD
SENSING GOD – once awake and spiritually conscious, we begin to sense with our Souls, as these Soul based senses coalesce with our traditional senses, as well as our local and non-local consciousness, cognition, and emotions – producing an exquisitely sensitive beingness – through which the universe reveals the Divine dimension we have never fully perceived – opening our living experience to the potential for joy, elation, ecstasy, awe, and the nature of true nature of magnificence.
