I will be posting poetry that I have written over the years...this one is one that I wrote that I really love...it has a duality to it that I was trying to convey of the physical and spiritual and how ultimetely they are one.


MOTHER EARTH AND FATHER GOD


She captures your spirit with her mystical beauty
Opening herself to you unfolding the mystery
All the while keeping you enchanted
In the deep rippling waves of her vast waters
She allows you to see the beauty of her naked winding curves
With their swollen peeks and wonderous valleys
Her rich luscious blossoms open to you
Almost whispering beautiful love in song
Her essence bring forth sweet fruit to nourish your body and soul

His deep ever knowing presence is the strength that makes her spirit soar
She feels the gentle touch of his love in the whistling wind
As it blows gently through her
In the quite silence of her inner being is where his existence lives
His love is all of her never changing
Ever present beyond all space and time
His brillant wisdom encompassed in the purity of divine love
Flows through and all around her
Their essence together enmeshed in one another
completely intertwining perfectly
Without ever piercing each other's oneness
This is perfect balance

It's Sunday morning...30 days until the presidential election. I am ready for this to be over, I have been following this election for over a year and even a political junkie like me is exausted of it by now. I would like to say that I truly believe that the country has had a tremedous amount of opportunity to see the very clear differences between these two canidates and that not only are there policies polar opposites but the personal temperments, judgements and styles couldn't be more polar opposite. A friend of mine in the "undecided" catagory told me why she is still undecided and I found it interesting. She said that although she would agree that McCain represents the same policies as the Bush era, she felt that at least it was the enemy she knew, vs. the unknown of Obama. My advice to anyone that may also be in that mindset, is to be clear that when you do walk into that booth and make that decision, that you check your heart and your head and make sure that your vote is not based on your fears but rather on your hopes for the future of our country. I think politics ultimetely shouldn't be different than any of the other decisions we make in our lives. I believe the best decision are those that we make with our hearts and that making decisions based on one's fears often creates that which you are focusing on...more fear. I hope that everyone votes in keeping with their honest, true beliefs weather they be conservative, liberal or any number of space in between. I can accept that people have different morals, beliefs and ideas than mine, but I find it disheartening that people make decisions not based on those, but rather allowing thier fears to run away with them. I of course am hoping and quite honestly praying that my country elects Obama...not because I am afraid of McCain, but that I believe whole heartedely that Obama will offer not only my country but the entire world a 180 in direction that is what I believe it trully needed to start digging out of the very deep whole we are in...nationally and globally.
