Don't always do
what is comfortable.

For The Love Of Mother

For the love of Mother
She speaks through the spiritual
Language of science
Not always thoroughly understood
Hidden in plain sight
We must willingly search and pry
Open to simple truth
Ever changing, in which belief plays a part
Parcel to hunger
Eat money, drink oil, breathe smoke
Stacks of capital
Gains traction for greedy derelicts
Deny and die
As children cry, the end draws near...
Listen and live
Better yet, believe and engage

​You don't know me
I barely know myself
My face is mine though
Every day it looks different
I am different, diverse, variant 
Change upon change upon change
Much hidden to present a cohesive exterior
Much given to allow connection and bearing 
Switch, swap, flip-flop, exchange
I am common, related, human
Every night we look similar
My world is your world
I know this truth
I know you too

SelF Portrait

How do you know a thing that is changing, moving, flowing, arriving and departing all at once?
In the flux of impermanent creation floating realms of construction and destruction coexist
The twins of duality cannot abide without each other
Death over and over gives way to life
Second by second spiralling into a new moment, only to be lost forever in the next
Spilling out in waves sucked back into oceans of unending possibilities
Who is this flesh covered soul, colored in hues of passion and grief, anger and joy?
What is it to know in the expanse of the infinite?
"Who" is different every passing second
Every breath is to make a decision about creation, all the while building on a moveable foundation
How to bend flame, to see wind, to walk on water, to train a cat...
To know oneself is to greet the master of surrender; yielding and unyielding forces collide 
Watching becomes action as awareness takes shape and form, only to start again 
Circling an ever wider universe the canvas meets with a vast array of explosions, no two alike
Days and age and seconds and years,
time is not even a constant, only a fleeting tool of imperfect frequency 
A self portrait exists only in the yesterday
Soul aperture peaking through with a glimmer of something much bigger than knowing can presume

Sideways

I did a double take today
Saw myself sideways and backwards
Saw myself in half
Saw myself see

I did a double take today
Looked at the same thing differently
Looked, passed the future
Looked into past 

I did a double take today
Beheld nothing and everything
Beheld from a distance
Beheld as is

I did a double take today
Knew the newness of chaos
Knew the old adage
Knew the void

I did a double take today
Saw myself vulnerable, unseen
Saw myself thoroughly 
Saw myself through

Calling To The Lights

What gift can I give that is big enough for your consideration?
What knowledge have I of your need or desire?
Am I worthy of the chance to bear witness to your undoing? 
Do I have the right to call you forth to such pain and torment?
How random it seems to be chosen or not
How Divine to know confusion so strong
The ache is best in the middle of the night and day and morning
The unsurety bleeds over and over again and hope is flushed toward earth
Is time a trickster, a weaver of lies only true when believed?
So hope?
Hope on a regular basis plays games in the brain and rolls it sideways to look again from back to front
I heal myself over and over, diving into the childlike abyss
I pray, I give up, I release anger to the wind with bitterness anew
Am I a player in this part of the void? Or merely a host in a game show lotto draw?
Answers abound in the infinite spiral of possibility
So many possibilities, dizzy with theory and superstition
So much grace poised on the horizon of a poisoned planet
I don't care if I'm good, only if I am enough
I want to be used, chosen and chosen again to the ends of my being
I resign my glory to the winds of the will and foster the knowing of emptiness for the sake of Wisdom
For the sake of many secrets I leave you on the other side 
I leave you every day without loss of love or question
A soul is bigger than a thousand armies of impotence
I will be with my longing
Belonging is not trampled by the space of stars

Devil Looked IN The Mirror

​Chew them up and swallow 
Whole swarms draw their lines
In the sand live the dreaded beasts of the unknown 
Sickly words turn yellow
Belly full of ache in dim caverns
Crumble beneath heavy lies flailing in the shallows 
Throwing hatred like pie 
Chart the unknown course of action
Plan in adherence to faith in fear
Snakes manipulate tongues
Forked roads that slip sideways downhill
Slope right on venom soaked gardens of earth
Damp thoughts sprayed 
Down all equal deeds as indoctrination
Nation stands slumped over in acute unconsciousness
Derived from hard stone
Caves of unschooled fish troll the dark
Hearts closed shut like the boarders of quarantined houses
Filled with old whoa
Horse whipped into fatal gallop
Pull up just as the Devil looked in the mirror and saw us

    I'm Rae... welcome to Luminous Universe!

    "I will not die an unlived life.
    I will not live in fear
    of falling or catching fire.

    I choose to inhabit my days,
    to allow my living to open me,
    to make me less afraid,
    more accessible,
    to loosen my heart
    until it becomes a wing,
    a torch, a promise.
    I choose to risk my significance,
    to live so that which came to me as seed
    goes to the next as blossom,
    and that which came to me as blossom,
    goes on as fruit."
    -Dawna Markova
