The Oasis of The Holy Family of Nazareth
How dare they touch me
on the core of feeling within me ?
But they dare !
So let me dare !
Dare to move beyond this choking fear of Life,
see the sunrise in the east
and walk with sureness into sweet scent of flowers
that bloom in the freedom of my heart, my soul.
Let me dare to be me, without restriction,
feel the wonder of my own life,
as I move into this Light, this Love,
and feel my spirit soar to the heavens and beyond....

It's a Beautiful World
Sunshine through the window
a clear blue sky,
the breeze gently ruffling curtains
that let in the morning,-
the morning full of promise
to show the way !
To let me see myself in retrospect,
knowing that I must look beyond myself now
to see inside the caverns of my mind
to see what I am here to see ......
To see a world
where everything is beautiful,
beauty reigns in splendid knowing
that this day is perfect.
So I see this, and deep in my heart
I wish this to be,
knowing that this will the end of my journey,
and this morning sun is my promise
of that perfect Day.

Travelling Light.
I moved through the door taking my whole self
into a new venture. Why ?- because I really
knew that I had to make inroads into something
meaningful. How was I coping with my life as it
stood presently, an illusary existence that
offered nothing true or real or sensuaus in the
precise meaning of reality ?
This new venture was my acceptance of a
movement into a depth of sensory perception
that simultaneously lifted me into a higher
plane of experience, and this experience was
something quite phenonmenal. I felt that all of
my senses were heightened to an arwareness of
Being that encompassed a global,-no- universal
contingency, allowing me to be fully present to
an existence that was all pervasive in its
understanding of Beauty. Beauty flowed through
me,instilling itself within me, pervading my
senses, my emotions, my heart, my very soul,
giving me such a perfect involvement with
Creation that I knew myself to be at one with it.
Here was a real understanding of
everyone and everything, and this understanding
showed me quite distinctly that Life is
beautiful. Every little nuance, every little
perceptive movement was here in a scintillating,
colourful mass of energy. This energy pervaded
me reaching into my fibrous body and instilling
it with light in such a deep way that my body
transformed itself into a diaphanous luminous
state,letting me experience a lightness and
sensitivity to light that was rapturous. Every
fibre of my being responded to light, moving
floating resonating, activating in light so
spontaneously that every little cell was
animated with the most positive light energy,
engulfing my whole being, saturating me with a
deep deep feeling of Love.
Love and light the essential Being behind
all being,- moving me into a deep experience
of bliss, allowing me to perceive reality in an
absolute appreciation of its meaning: a meaning
so pure that it engrossed me totally, offering
the ultimate understanding of myself in a
moment of clarity that gave me my whole
intentional creative instinctual presence. I knew
now without doubt that God exists, and God
allows each aspect of His Creation to exist
within the very centre of Himself, in a reality
that shows each created being its true
essential nature,-and this essential Nature is
simply Love.
