ENKINDLER

Fingerprints that stain my keyboard with thoughts unrehearsed

spit it out like it’s lukewarm and cursed…

wonder why we all don’t participate in the verse?

curious as to which Tree you were birthed?

impressed by those that come just to serve

relaxed now that  I settled them nerves,

These are the things for which I look to the sky,

Protection, Mercy, and a path to Scry

Though we burn under the same constellation

we have many different forms of occupation

Some do what they love,

others do only what they know

many think they will survive

few can survive alone

gifts are defined by context

and dreams by the seeds of light we’ve sewn

fire, pain, wind, water, and women, all have my respect

luminescence is homegrown

Above is a picture I drew that reminded me of the Inuit myth of the Raven; who brought back a piece of the Sun, so that humankind could survive. The sacrifice forever turned the raven’s wings black. In my version, the eye of the raven reflects the altar of sacrifice as depicted on the wing. The tongue holds a pearl of wisdom, along with an Athame(double edge blade) in the silhouette.

Powerless in the process
Transformed by all I’ve seen
Reserving judgment on “reality”
Best intentions require best inventions
of balance and discernment’s choices
Illumination from hidden voices
Guidance from the outer lands
could this be my long lost clan?
Rebirthed at the Crossroads of a Woman
Abort the fear, throw away the plan
Dispel the Shadows that inhabit your heartland
I remember you now as I hold your hand
now my heart untamed and unbound
joining in the fellowship of the unfound
a paradox of power requires resolution in the final hour
Apocalypse breathed from sacred lips
Time is punishment in the age of this eclipse
Poised for the future with Mother hips
aligned with the light
two souls in bliss

Sat down to write the words
that I’d once written,
but they were lost in the fires eye
like the hints that I’ve hidden

A treasure map tells the way
to a place where precious
things are kept
Secrets held in memories
remnants of what’s been left behind

Disappointment, failure, and pain,
daily life’s struggles…
Excitement, progress, and joy,
love everlasting and
unconditional

peace

like the ocean and the

sky are free to be

like a liar and a thief

are exiled as one

some contradictions and a lot of adaptations
only the best and worst receive the headlines

and of the times often remembered

the events that has been clutched by memories and mental pictures

better left alone and trying to communicate

then to reach the ears of no one

Is the world is coming to an end?
We’ve heard this question asked a lot recently.
I would answer this question with a question of my own.
My question: Do you want it to end? Could you control anything if it were to end? What would you do differently if you knew?
Better yet, what is the possibility of it ending at all? Considering the multiple attempts by nature alone to wipe out mankind?
If you let it rattle around in your brain long enough, you may conclude what an absurd prospect it is that we as humans could outlive the Universe anyways.
What if it were completely necessary for the world we know to come to an end?
Many of our ancestors knew then what is just now becoming common knowledge.
There must be an end to every new beginning.
What stands between us and our dreams is a four letter word.
Fear.
Let us pray for the courage to change and adapt.
Or as Yoda says, “There is no try, just do!”

When I was a child in the late seventies, Winter and Spring break was a time of staying home with my mother and helping her in her home daycare. Most of our relatives lived close, so we rarely traveled.

The weather was usually mild and tranquil. My cousins from Los Angeles would often visit for Christmas and we would “act out” elaborate plays and perform them for our families. I would look forward to this activity all year. When we weren’t doing that, we made movie scripts and played store, post office, or whatever else came to mind.

Other times, when I wasn’t feeling as creative; I would nag my mom and complain that I was bored. I had not learned to occupy my brain yet. I can remember my mother saying,” Go outside and take your “busy bug” with you.

Now that I have three youngsters of my own, we often find ourselves “killing time” during school breaks by making movies.

Our genre is definitely tongue in cheek and participation is often done in lieu of added chores or lost bets! We made all of our movies for free. Down loaded Windows programs with one-month trial versions.

Here are some of those home movies!
