New Life

To my cousin-in-law who has passed on, follow the signs to your new life...

It is sad that you are gone, but carry on we must in stillness and in strife.

Take the good memories and keep them safe in your heart...

Take care of yourself and we'll see you some other time.

It was a shock for everyone that now is the time for you to depart...

But I guess it must be fate, part of the ways of rhythm and rhyme.

Wherever you go from now I wish you the very best of the pure lands you will see...

May you enjoy all the delicious foods you love, like kaya toast, eggs and coffee.

New Moon

The new moon awakens in us parts of ourselves that were asleep before...

With every new moon comes a chance for us to awaken a part of our soul...

That part of us that wants to be released, the eagle that wants to soar...

Like the waves that are washed up to shore, the future beckons but cannot be foretold.

This new moon brought death to the family, a sudden twist of fate...

Again I escaped it by being far away, a distant story waiting to unfold.

To the ones who grief most I am sorry, for it was not my time to be there...

From a distance I can only pray for the soul who chose to leave his body...

I wish you peace and offer you light wherever you may go...

May you enter the pearly gates of heaven, where the waters of life freely flow.

To be forgiven...

Green waves of democracy sweep the world...

In a movement of solidarity, the people unite,

drums roll, the march begins, and flags unfurl,

power of the people, strength and peaceful fight.

East and West are merging, fusion and collision,

cultures collaborate, in conspicuous consensus,

the experiment for peace, a political vision,

on blood-spilled lands, where is our Lord Jesus?

It is in our hearts that we must find the Christ,

a message, a mission that will illumine others,

for we are all waiting, anticipating, in angst,

peace is arriving, the dream of our forefathers.

It is Friday now, and I know I skipped Thursday,

but I had to somehow, for the Goddess of Love...

We are at the heart chakra, in our center today,

in harmony with spirit, in communion, the dove.

Follow your heart, it is the only way, for the children,

the promise of eternal life, the ultimate reunion...

Each prophet beckons, each saint speaks his name,

in five different languages, but we are all the same.

Why do we fight, for dignity, for peace, or just respite?

There is evil on this earth, the demons have spite.

How long will it take, before the bloodshed stops?
Mother, father, child, a tear of blood drops...

Christian, Jew and Arab, what do we have in common?

Do you not see, it is simple, for we are only human?

Put down your swords, lay down your guns, make peace,

share the land, Gods and Goddesses of ancient Greece.

Do you know, we have to learn, or we will have to return?

Again and again, wheel of fortune spins, eternal fires burn,

there is no hell, we have Mother Earth, this is our heaven,

the time is now, return to love, and we will be forgiven...

Mercury and Pegasus

It is Wednesday today, day of Mercury.
Mercury, God of trade and commerce,
son of mountain Maia in mythology.
Also known in Greece as God Hermes.

With winged shoes and winged cap,
wherefore will you roam tonight?
In mercurial dreams, you see the map,
for travellers and thieves in sight.

It is a blue night, and I have a fantasy,
will you help me make it more than a dream?
In a mercurial expression, ecclectic rhasody,
on the wings of a butterfly and a moonbeam.

Take me there on the winged horse, Pagasus,
Bearer of thunder and lightning to God Zeus.
Align the stars tonight, make them glitter bright,
twinkle blue atlantic star, luminous indigo light.

Sing with me now in mercurial delight,
share with me here what I have in sight.
A book of love I am beginning to write,
channelled light-codes given in the night...

A butterfly, an eye and a dragon...

I see a butterfly in the sky, I try hard to follow it as it flutters it's wings and flies free...

And then I saw an eye in the sky, I see through it all that is and all that could be...

Now I see a dragon, a constellation in space that guides - stars that shine their light for all to see...

Amoeba

Diagram of an amoeba.



An amoeba eating a paramecium (single-cell organism with hair-like organelles).

I find it amazing that an organism like the amoeba exists and can consume other microscopic organisms as food... This tells us something - that food and the consumption of it are all part of instinct and a pure need to survive. Such is life, that a bigger fish will always get to eat a smaller one... Is it possible for all sentient beings to be vegetarian?

Karma Sutra

Karma Sutra position on temple architecture.

The most interesting thing found in the sacred literature of India is the Karma Sutra...

Karma refers in general to desire, including sexual desire and Sutra refers to a thread or line that holds everything together...

The Karma Sutra is essentially a mysterious text about human sexual behaviour, written in Sanskrit by Vatsyayana.

It is said however that the book not only describes sexual positions that create intimacy and strengthens the union between a man and his wife, it also serves as a guide to gracious and sensual living.

It would be good to have a book that is a translated version of the original. Practiced with devotion and care towards one's partner, it is said that the Karma Sutra can lead one to spiritual enlightenment...
