A Prayer for Mankind

And our spirit will arise and fly to the height of the soul,

all within the mind and the consciousness unknown.

Great, wise and bold spirits your lives are now our inspiration.

In silent prayers of meditation and action we acknowledge and celebrate you.

Lovers In A Dangerous Time...

What I want to know is...

Can you tell me you love me, not with words but with care?

Can you tell me you love me with a spirit divine and rare?

Can you tell me of your joys?
Can you tell me of your pains?
Can you tell me of your longings?
Can you tell me of your strains?

If any of this you cannot say
Lay your head upon my shoulder and tell me in your own way...
Tell me about your love, that of a royal kind
Tell me about our love, with your body, spirit and mind.

This is for the love of you.

Bold...

Man is more than the sum of the parts and perspectives we have seen of him to date.
Sage. Warlock. Shaman. Sorcerer. Diviner.

He remains the keeper of our flame.
The wielder of the axe.
The alchemist.
The saint.
The transformer.
The destroyer.
The healer.

By chaos he is driven.
By fear he overcomes.
By failure he evolves.
By love he transcends.
By silence he rises and is reborn.
