Helpful Hints, Guidelines & Support for the Journeyperson
The morning light arrives – without a guarantee
And brings with it the offer of a moment
My errant logic thinks
Before me is the promise of another day
No guarantee
My father was a gambling man
My mother would say
I wouldn’t bet on the sunrise – no guarantee
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission
be on the watch – there are ways out
there is light somewhere
it may not be much light but it beats the darkness
be on the watch the gods will offer you chances
know them – take them
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death death in life – sometimes
and the more often you learn to do it
the more light there will be
your life is your life
know it while you have it
you are marvellous
the gods wait to delight in you
Make Love not War – Peace, Love and hedonism.
The generation of people born between June 14th 1939 and 19th August 1957 were riding the crest of a wave which peaked with possibility, promise and a proper chance at an evolutionary rise in consciousness: a real paradigm shift and the opportunity to serve. Unfortunately so seduced did we become by the egoic and hedonistic (leonine) notion of (self) importance and entitlement that rather than pursuing the opportunity for planetary caretaking and evolution we opted instead for a might and mine method of rulership – (a style more in keeping with our self-sanctified image), an unquestionable approach to sovereignty over our domain and in so doing forgot that the sword of royalty and reign that we wielded and swung so self-righteously had another edge – the sacred law that brings the balance to such power: Noblesse Oblige and the requirement to take care of the kingdom and all who live therein. With the refusal to acknowledge our betrayal of the heartland and the accompanying need to apologise for our misdeeds: the abject abuse of power over place and people, the land now expects remuneration, retribution – a price to be paid. The time has come, restoring the balance means that the cost will be in direct proportion i.e. equivalent to the size of the misdemeanours and the misdeeds – get ready here comes Uranus in Taurus and anyone who has ever witnessed the angry Bull will be rightly alarmed. The shameful conduct by the perpetrators and the victim stance adopted by the condoners will ensure that all will be held accountable, none are innocent – there will be no prisoners taken, no survivors spared.
Life arrives a gift one breath at a time
