In Eternity… All Humanity

Have I finally ACCEPTED that a year is short?

That to live anywhere but the moment is to reduce one’s true self to naught?

That the past must be forgiven, instantly sometimes, that things held onto

just feed our shadow drives.

BUT HOW TO KNOW what lurks within and beneath the fluttering mind?

What does it take to release the deepest hurts and seal what’s leaking inside?

When young a year was an eternity, every one a distinct journey

drifting slowly from season to season, without question or reflection.

Then I discovered something that had been hidden from my sight –

that life is precious – and to experience it to the full is our natural, sacred birthright.

Honouring the Great Spirit that is Life Love and Liberty

I began to attune to the planet’s cycles and rhythms, to rise above

the angst, arguments and schisms:

Four quarters, four cross quarters – eight Sun festivals a year

guiding us on the WAY to be fully present and HERE;

13 moons, new – waxing – full – waning – dark

taking us on the journey of the heart,

as our emotional bodies play out their part

in the great divine ART

That is Life.

But life speeds up when you realise the pattern

that is underlying the great game of life, lust, love, laughter and loss

and the years swing by faster and faster and quicker and quicker

another beltane, another solstice, another samhain, another equinox

yet more and more we learn, and appreciate the plot

and suddenly

suddenly

after repeating years of almost… almost…

ETERNITY seems fully here.

And a speedy year don’t seem such a big deal.

Bring it on.

SPEED UP THE CLOCK

get humanity out of the lock

that’s trapped our minds in materiality:

life’s speeding up because the bubble’s gonna burst

and in ETERNITY all humanity

shall be immersed.
