the purpose of earth is to heal and the purpose of heaven on earth is to CREATE

Love in the pathos of passionate pursuit -- the song the scene the dramatic presentiment -- the longing flipped to belonging -- the soul finding itself doing cartwheels through the air -- realizing balance and proportion are the pillars of form that give shape and coherence to the chaotic uncertainty of that sudden rush of inspiration -- like a match struck -- released -- and setting an entire forest on fire -- leaving death in its wake -- as new life blossoms from the old -- and a poem needs to be born and wrote from the deepest heart that understands the Gift of Grace inspired to re-appear as Empathy cools the flames and warms the cold caves of creative assault -- dark powers of inspired hate -- the force that requires the Will of Humane Loving Desire to put out the fire while we keep on lighting up the world with our songs, with our thoughts, in essence, our love ---india

When circles meet: One

I am stillness

Figure

Lucille Clifton

Won't you celebrate with me

won't you celebrate with me

what i have shaped into

a kind of life? i had no model.

born in babylon

both nonwhite and woman

what did i see to be except myself?

i made it up

here on this bridge between

starshine and clay,

my one hand holding tight

my other hand; come celebrate

with me that everyday

something has tried to kill me

and has failed.
