ReMember the Night

How can you go meekly into the night 

When your world no longer gently goes around?

How can you go meekly into the night

When lives of who you cherish depend on you being wise?

Do you forget that in the beginning time started?

And yet this time has an end as so do you.

For if you have, forget not that all times have their moments besides one Holy one

Faith begins on the edges of understanding 

Faith begins on the edges of understanding

Let me please then fall into this abyss of source where Faith is.

A surfacing, peace filled trove glimpsed first amidst a raging wind,  

its past buried deep by the residue of age old minds.

One personal confrontation, not new yet rediscovered,

Connected to the gentleness of a longed ...

Be kind to yourself.

We all make supposed "mistakes" which are not really.

…it is called growing as people.

forgive and move on.

So many feel the need to fight

Living life with no inner light

Why do so many appal

Simple fact that Love is all

Potential for all they can be

Finding our own truths until

Why is it thought such a fight

Living life within the light?

Purely expressed feelings actual

There never was anyone else to blame

It being absolutely essential

To live our life to our potential

Drifting along, getting on by

Lazy ways to truth deny

Living this way being soul treason

Finding excuses, rhyme or reason

Looking away from where we should be

Closing our minds to our liberty

My reality took a while to sink in

Inner voice screaming, making a din

A comfort zone is like an old jacket

Worn it for too many years

It doesn’t quite fit anymore and definitely looks tired

Shabby and worn out

Carrying on being worn because it’s comfortable

Now is always the best time to leave comfort traps

Stretching horizons

Stretching ourselves

Waking as the sun rises on a new place today

The thrill of travel

Pondering the question…

How to be inspired?

Meditating, dreaming

Mind works overtime looking for the answer

Information meltdown time

Taking a quiet moment…looking around seeing anew

Inspiration?

It’s in every tree...city life goes on….and yet here we have nature

Nature still manifesting as the ultimate expression of art in motion

What could be more inspiring?

Our bodies borrowed from the universe

Made of stardust

Everywhere and nowhere at once

Souls having a human experience

Moving ego aside to freedom

Inspiration guiding our actions

Through universal connections

How often the truth hides

Right there in plain site

Seek and we find

I am the seasons

Life to renew

I am divine

And so are you

A tribute to Wallasey born astronomer Heather Couper (1949-2020) and her passion for life

The place is Birkdale during the British Open Golf, and a case of mistaken identity back in the late 1980’s, as related to me many years later by a friend

Seve, he’s my favourite golfer

I recognise him from TV

Look, it must be him

He’s going into that supermarket

Let’s follow to be sure

For certain, it must be him

Be discrete, play it cool

I am pro any religion that advocates harming no others or taking a life

Try, try and try again can be oh so trying

Endlessly trying, yet never really achieving

“At least I gave it a go, I tried” is wishy washy

Trying is hardly committing, whatever may be

Trying offers an opt-out clause at some point

“Giving it a try” guaranteed to disappoint

Any road to achievement in life is rarely linear

Which way forward oftentimes a little unclear

Designed from life’s eternal cornucopia

See it and feel it.

Strongly imagine you can taste it.

The flavours stimulating your taste buds.

The aroma filling your senses.

Next bring to mind a favourite childhood meal. Something you looked forward to every single time you knew it was on today’s menu.

I would like my naked toes to caress a field of poppies

to dance; a fine expression of freedom and happiness.

to look up at the clear blue skies

and listen to the sound of singing birds

in the midst of wonderful harmony.

For time to stand still, a chance to inhale

To truly take in life, and the precious moments it can hold.

Our perception of reality

Our place in the world

Reality bubbles

Peering outward

From fathoms deep within

Sometimes overnight

Or more than one

Walked through Central Park along 5th Avenue

Destination we’d read so much about coming into view

Standing back gaping at the alien architecture before us

Incredible building, sallying forth anticipation all abuzz

Worth the entrance fee to simply look upward inside

Enough procrastination, let’s go see art, we decide

Never given much thought to Van Gogh not strictly my scene

Was sure there was something…try to remember
Dates in a diary reminders of significance
Sure there was something...just think perchance
Perchance to think…or was it sleep?

Once brown

Original colour faded out

Existing only in memory

The one he wore come rain or shine

Became hers

Only hers

And the emotions

Which came with it

Negativity can now depart

In beauty to be walking

Waiting to be shocked

Well perhaps a bit

Glimpsing the wild side of life…for a little while

Train station looks remarkably ordinary

Still…the city awaits there!

They turn right from the exit

In their wake we go

Hey, this can’t be right?

We could be anywhere!

I am not broken

I am stronger than you can imagine

I am not giving up

I do not know the meaning of the word

I am no failure

I have come too far to give up

I am my light

Now you can watch me shine

Because life is about taking a risk

Moreover, the risk is what it is all about.

I am not alone

If you do not know what this means

You have to move forward in the world 

 Because no one else will

In life, doing nothing won’t have a reaction

All opportunities will pass by if you waste your time

Within is the source of all wisdom

Wisdom is to truly master life

Acceptance is to know oneself
