Presence II

With you my being begins to swell
A whirlpool spun to crescendo
My center becomes clear
My axis, my orientation
I understand why I am here
I am here to love...

Presence

With you I feel more present
More of my being
Drawn out
Pulled to the surface
With you... I am more me

Dandelion Seed

Dandelion seed flying high in the sky
Others landing, planting roots
Dandelion seed tantalizingly coming so close
Drifting toward sweet earth
A graze, a touch, a light caress
A Taste...

But the mighty wind gusts
A dizzying swirl takes hold
Tossed into the blinding light of the sun
Until waking up to an infinite sea of blue:
A sight all too familiar
So far
So distant

Precarious Flight

Gossamer wings hover over certain death
Mincingly touching reflections from the sky
Life-giving in doses
A boundary most powerful
To delve too deep is to drown
To shy away for too long is to shrivel
For the weary traveler with parched lips
An eternal relationship most certain

Totality of a Situation?

Don't forget the totality of a situation: the light and the dark... remember what shines the most.

The Energy and feeling of Power from being Angry?

There's a strange kind of tempting energy to indulge in when angry. There's a sense of saying "I am right!", and the accompanying feelings of anger make us believe in the truth of our thoughts. But we can have dreams, which our minds interpret as real at the time, and the emotions felt during the dream are very much real... the energy cannot be denied.... and yet what was experienced was only a dream.

Indulging in anger brings on a sense of blame, a sense of victimhood... There's temptation to use those false feelings as justification for trying to exert power over others... power which does not see the other as deserving of kindness and compassion. The clouds that are created cause blindness toward the best parts of others and the best parts of ourselves...

How does one free oneself from the temptations of indulging in angry energy? There are times I want to remain angry and not let it go, despite knowing likely reasons for others acting in the way they act. I'm caught somewhere between understanding and feeling like a victim... purgatory...
