THE TIDE OF YOUR LIFE AND YOUR DEATH

WHO AM I?

     I am the tide of your life. I am the powerful physical and metaphysical force by which you are carried.

     Ocean Tides are one of the major forces in all the world because water covers 71% of our Earth’s surface. Tidal motion and interaction with heat from the Sun during the day and cool of night create weather. Dance of Sun, Moon and Earth cause seasons and climate and tides.

The tide of your life creates the emotional weather of your soul.  Weather whips the tide up in the outer world and your emotional weather – the storms in your inner life.

     The Moon, you and I are secret lovers. I am totally attracted to her and so is your chronobiology. The Full Moon is the drumbeat for all life on earth. The tides of your life rise and fall with the Moon and so do the life forces of all plants, animals and humans. She pulls at us, flirts with us and we are in a constant state of longing as she passes. And then, she teases us with her long-time affection for and affair with the Sun who ramps the tide up when they sit together. The intensity is, at times, overwhelming.

WHY AM I HERE?

     Your life is all about what flows and swirls around you and within you.

Some tides of your life are exoteric and comprised of the currents in your life. Sometimes these speed up or slow down or run at different rates, this builds large waves in climate, environment, politics, society, safety, health, food, economics and more like travel even birth rates, opening of wine grape blossoms and salmon migration. Each of these exoteric parts of the overall tide of your life are independent currents which may at times run as cross-currents – stopping things – pushing things unexpectedly.

Sometimes you are totally unaware of the currents that seem to change for no reason. These are Rip Tides and if you struggle against them you will lose your strength and energy and may perish because outer tides affects your inner life.

The small boat of your life is comprised of your health, life forces, physical constitution and Chronobiology; your thinking, confusion or lack of knowledge; your feelings like fear, joy, love or anger; and, your intentions – what are you going to try to do about all those exoteric complexities.

The tides of your life are ever changing and you will never catch a break or really be in control.

WHAT DO I WANT?

You modern people have pretend that your creation of “Science” and the evolution of your consciousness somehow makes you “free” from or able to control the tide of your life.

Do you go with or against the flow? Do you even know what flows in your life at all? Have you studied yourself? Your biography?

When I am aroused, the tide of your life lifts you up and buoys you. You ride the crest and think it is you who has done this. But, are you in over your head? When you are in over your head, are you in too deep and swamped by more than you know?

     When the tides of your life crash and fall; I sometimes put you on the rocks and break over and on you. I can be crushing when you try to go against the tide. Sometimes the look on your face is clueless about what happened.

     Life is a struggle for you. But, really, the tide of life is not about you, ultimately. You are one person in the current.

The tide of life is about more, much more. You were created in your mother’s womb, a salty tidal pool protected from larger currents. The Earth’s tidal pools have been the wombs of the first moments of creation of all life on Earth.

The tides have turned.

Why does the Lady of the Lake does not arise? Has the One who calmed the tempest handed it over to you and your Science?

Tidal pools no longer able to bear and sustain life only create the death of the Earth.

THE ARMOR OF LOVE

WHO AM I?

     The Armor of Power is what Power Loves. They wear their virtues on the outside. In their hearts is the Love for their God. They see their Hearts as the Armor of their God. They armor their hearts with aggression, militancy and pride; garments which even the most righteous of the Powerful do not wish to see torn because they are precious and the ultimate safeguard for their Hearts and therefore for their God.

     But, in the center of the house of Power, a Lover sits captive in a small room, waiting to be released.

WHY AM I HERE?

     The Lover of Dreamlike Love is captive and sits hidden amid the complexities and realities in the war of the Powerful.

     Just a few miles away are refugees which Power has terrorized.

     There are other Lovers which Power fears because Power knows that it has Love hidden in the small chamber in its Heart.

     Once the Lover is killed, the Dreamlike Love is released and it becomes like an Armor.

WHAT DO I WANT?

     The Lover of Dreamlike Love who sat hidden amid the complexities and realities in the war of Power has been released by death to inspire us to become Lovers and put on the Armor of Love.

The Armor of Love is Love - the same Love hidden in the Heart of the Power. The Powerful are not their God and their God is a God of Love - the same Love. The Powerful know that they injure, lame or kill themselves by attacking the Lover who wears the Armor of Love, their God will know it. This they fear. And well they should.

Let us become Lovers.

AN OLD FRONTIER OF THE HEART

WHO AM I?

     It was long before she worried about the woman parts of her body; and long before I was stung and embarrassed when my father said “grow up”. Some worried we spent so much time together walking away from the subdivision. But, it was long before what even we might call Love was lost. We were kids. We were explorers. And the world was all long trail, outward, and away from where we always played alone. You were shy. So was I. We didn’t touch but lived in a spiral, in a place where we were intimate. We had secret code-words, and pet names, and curiosity unexplored. We held hands, not much; not because it symbolized anything, but because we were new and filling our hearts with one another. This was the first time. And the time which never returned.

WHY AM I HERE?

     When you look back down that trail and see those two, me and you, who were so innocent, it seems impossible that you were ever so small and fresh. Impossible that I was so open. That we experienced a world together before the world as we know it now slowly became guarded behind expectations of others.

     Can we scrub away the layers of the years and make ourselves expectant to be discovered? Can a heart become a virgin frontier? Can first love ever be found once the first love has gone its separate way? Can we become untouched? Can there be an old frontier of the heart? A once and never tenderness longing to be explored?

WHAT DO I WANT?

     I found this old memory in my heart. A joy not used up. You and a photo and old longings set aside. Strolls down paths which no longer exist and could not be found. That lead…? Our lives have made the frontier between us like Briar Rose’s hedge: dense, complex, thorny.

Anyway. What do I want, really? I don’t want to interrupt your life. I don’t desire to bring pain. I just want to know if you would smile that long time ago innocent smile if you saw me. The one you smiled when my squeaky old bike came up the hill and you heard it, turned and waved.

THINGS WORK OUT

WHO AM I?

     I am a very quick thinking person. I am smart. Brilliant, actually. I am opinionated. In my opinion, I know what to do. I know the RIGHT thing to do. The correct thing to do about any problem – ANY problem, big or small, can be successfully solved if people would simply do as I say.

     It is so inconvenient that the Divine Right to Rule has been done away with. God gave me this gift of intelligence and so I ought to be in charge. The problem we have that slows down our group process is that the group has this idea that they are equal to me.

I have reminded them that we would save so much time if everyone looked to me for leadership. You wouldn't believe the looks on their faces. Oh, well, what do you expect - groundlings.

    

WHY AM I HERE?

     Every time we have a meeting and a question arises, I am there to give them the answer about what to do. That’s my duty as the smartest, and FASTEST one in the group. It very quickly becomes clear to me about what to do, it ought to be clear to them, too. Maybe not. But I am always hopeful.

     So I restate the question as I see it, and I remind them of their mistakes in the past, and give them the answer about what to do today. Then they ignore me. Can you believe it!? I begin telling them how WRONG they are. They get offended with the TRUTH! I toss the correct answer out there – a cute cuddly kitten of a solution to the problem. I give them the correct answer! What, in my opinion ought to be done. It ought to be WELCOMED and adopted by the group IMMEDIATELY! Cuddled and petted. But, No-o. It dies. They ignore the CORRECT ANSWER! Dead. It just lies there like a dead cat in the middle of the table - cold, stiff, untouchable.

      Then they all go on talking about the problem as if what just happened, never happened. They have KILLED the correct answer and everybody KNOWS it’s the correct answer.

WHAT DO I WANT?

     I only want what Woody Allen said he wanted: “A mass outpouring of love from a grateful nation.”

     I went away from the last meeting carrying my dead kitty when a group member slipped up to me and said three words: “Things work out.”

     What did that mean?

     Apparently it meant that whether or not I solved problems quickly, and tossed pretty kitties onto the table (which the meeting ignored and they died of cruel neglect), the group went ahead and eventually made decisions.

     Things worked out – without me.  Yeah, dumb decisions were made without me!

     So, I did a clever, well thought out thing: I went to the next meeting and I put my fingers over my mouth. It looked like I was deep in thought, but I was really holding my lips closed, holding myself back and I watched the meeting progress.

They talked and they talked! Endlessly they offered one bad idea after another. Half-baked ideas. Sure failures. One or two sparklers which nobody recognized. But, everybody had their say.  And, eventually, the group dropped into thoughtful silence, maybe not thoughtful but they were quiet. It was the moment for a solution to arise. Aha!

From under the table, I brought forth my good idea, the correct solution. I just put it on the table AFTER everyone had exhausted their pea-brains and shut up. The timing was appropriate. My answer actually cleverly incorporated bits of everyone’s bad ideas into a new, elegant solution.

Now, things worked out – with me!

ARE YOU A PLANET OR A STAR?

WHO ARE YOU?

     Better to know if you are a star or a planet.

     Do you revolve around others? Do they hold you in some sort of emotional gravitational system? Do they care for you? Or, do they “use” you to feed their spin?

     Or, are you the one around which others move? How are you with that relationship? Are you caring, loving and responsible for those who are following? Or do you get off on ordering them around?

     Is your light reflected light like that of a planet? Or is it like the combustion of stars? Are you the one who has the capacity to generate the warmth, the brilliance, the new ideas, or insights? Are you the one who can reflect or mirror back the innovations so that others can pick them up and make them happen?

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

     Are you the one who has received the big picture? Or are you the one to communicate about that big picture?

     Maybe you are the one that knows the deep history of that big picture – what happened when, what went wrong, what was exceptional? Or, are you the one who can reflect on the now – the how the big picture is going today?

     Maybe you take charge and act and get things done to accomplish that big picture, don’t mind the tussle, like to test someone by challenging them? Or, do you want to make sure that everyone working to achieve the big picture has the support they need? You care and you show it.

     Maybe you put it all together: you get the big picture, have the capacity and flexibility to take on any one of these roles, even for a short period of time. Good on you.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

The stars are the ones who can generate the light, the insight, the imaginations that are important and which we wish to follow. Most stars can’t receive insights or do what they imagine. Standing in and reflective the light of a star is no negative thing. Great stars never forget where and who the support planets which comprise their solar system really are.

Great planets are the ones who make it possible for a star's light to become alive and both create time and create love. 

As the childhood rhyme goes: "Star light, star bright, first star that I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight."
