The Inspiration :
Is it really as simple that everything is the result
Of a series of coincidental accidents in an atomic
Speck hiding in a dark corner of a million universes?
Why haven't the wisest of wise sentient beings
Discovered a way to articulate the essence, the rationale
And the most comprehensive yet elemental
Scientific facts for the most
Innocent simple minds to comprehend?
The latest AI should be able to conjure up something
About all of this, don't you think?.
Ascetics and mystical hermits with a spark that cosmic
genius contemplate how there is an interconnecting of
Every aspect of every thing and every one.
Sanctified souls secure solace in the salvation stories
Proclaiming mercy, not sacrifice and redemption in the
Sounds of innocence of the cry and laughter of
A newly arrived baby.
Unbroken circle grace is abundantly present
Fueling hope and the most pure love.
It's been said that a love that loves without condition,
No reward, no recognition required and
No reciprocation is expected as a return for your
compassion.The teacher asked ,
"Do you love your children only if they
love you in return? Does your love cease when you
enter a world of dreams
Or when the one you love is absent?"
With the flash of the mystical light
It seems when your child of the wind has her own child,
Somehow the meaning of "love all - ways" is no
longer a mystery.
Enlightenment occurs when a new born infant
Makes her entrance to begin her part in the great play
As you hold her in your arms.
The Writing:
My Dearest Frances Louise :
Is it wrong to thinking that we have been waiting
for you
for a lifetime? Just like that , no warning, no sign ,
no mystical dream
or burning bush as the magnificent mystery
unfolds .the word is made flesh. Choirs of angels
can be heard in a silence of seeking hearts.
The Zen singer poet laments:
"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
We know from grandparents ,parents, siblings,
aunts, uncles and cousins that the
illumination has occurred
and everything is changed again.
It is mystery and some hermits contemplate the wonder.
The natural state of enthusiasm is discovered
in the root "en theos" - in God...of the divine...fervor
for the zeal for the inspiration (of the spirit) ...awareness
of the revelation of the truth.
And so it is that you are and you
have purpose ,
a vocation , listening to that secret
voice within ,
to be that authentic creation - the
compassionate one
who is selfless , generous , merciful and
peace maker.
Your mission if you chose to
accept it is to be
making this a better place
where you let go, trust love and serve.
56 years and one day have been crossed
off the calendar since the pilgrim pirate first
caught your mother's mother attention in small
smoke filled and beer stained bar
saturated with souls seeking serenity.
Some say that it was providence and others
suggest it is just an example of a loser getting lucky .
The humbled pilgrim overwhelmed
with the dawns glow and night's fading away
falls to his knees.
Dreams do come true. How? It's a mystery.
This Camino maybe not as easy as you would like.
Just be who you are meant to be. If you worry...
worry about being respected and that you
have the courage
and wisdom to stay the course .
There are many who need you-
your love, your help ,your faith , your laughter
and your compassion. Allow your talents to flourish.
Take courage. You are never alone.
Remember how your mother , father and
brothers have been waiting
for you and how much they love you no matter
what who do or wherever you
go. Your extended family and your friends as
well as those you meet along
the way wait for your blessing while there are a few
earthly angels and saints
will be there to bless and intervene for you.
One thing that this pilgrim is finally
learning is that all days and all creation are holy.
Concern for the common
welfare of every aspect of this universe includes
MotherNature . We need the streams, lakes, rivers, the seas ,
the mountains , the clouds , the rain and stars.
Another teacher reminds us
"No mud, no lotus."
Trust your intuition . connect with good people
( you will know them when you meet them ) be creative,
listen and dance to music and
remember to find some poetry to read as it is t
he window to your
heart and your soul. Be your 'self" -" there is no them there's
only us."
Remember , whether I am close by or on the other side ... I am
with you always.
Te Viglio bene assai , bene assai
