Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Breathe deep

when
god decided to invent
everything he took one
breath bigger than a circustent
and everything began

when man determined to destroy
himself he picked the was
of shall and finding only why
smashed it into because

rushing Spirit
Word of God
hovering over nothing

a gush of breath
a big breath, full of fun
creativity
and play (as one finds in a circus tent)

and the joy began

and then we got our hands on it
we wrap ourselves up in
a creation of our own making
(we even have a God of our own making)

our thoughts circle in on themselves
we set the rules
we shall accumulate, use power for our own devises

and the look back at what was
the grotesque litter that is our history
our past

and we wail
why

and unwilling to accept the answer
say simply
because

because this is the way life is

we have smashed was
all
fun and beautiful
foolishness and ecstasy

we have taken the Sacred breath
and forgotten to breathe
and something has died

original wholeness
original joy
is
not

and yet
creator
recreates and recreates again
Sacred Breath still
blows through our souls

new beginnings
breathe deep
we shall live
we shall
live
again
