Thanks Don. It's a challenge to shift from writing on the nose non fiction to more poetic fiction, showing rather than telling. Mirrors a shift in my life!

This feels true to me, that underneath all the "news," an amazing invitation has been given to us humans, if we can see and accept it.

I am only asking you to remember with me

what has been calling to us

since before the stars learned to shine

What a powerful invitation... one that reconnects us to our Source and the reason we are here.

I loose the world from all I thought it was.

What keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. A madman thinks the world he sees is real, and does not doubt it. Nor can he be swayed by questioning his thoughts’ effects. It is but when their source is raised to question that the hope of freedom comes to him at last.

To have an idea, a thought

To know exists an immense universe

A grand machine is life

To know that this world and you

Are but a small part of this machine

A machine we call God

To realize that all of life

Is one, is God, is love

Love is all there is

Very well said Will, especially your poem, the harbinger for a great book awaiting!
