​Peace On Earth

Whatever your challenges and conditions,
may you find Peace Within too.
My humble, evolving philosophy
simply mirrors my evolving World View.
Whether quiet or dramatic,
tamed down or wildly theatrical,
fast paced or moving slowly,
Life changes, never static.
We move through the poetry of spacetime
changing things we think and do,
sometimes even understanding
two opposite truths can be true.
Fighting for Peace through War
or victory in defeat and death
and gaining more when nothing’s left,
do sometimes happen too.
May Peace be your in heart and mind
for there all conflicts start and grow
into the miseries of Mankind-
depressing, oppressing, aggressing,
spreading through lives like plagues
in ancient and modern histories,
sad stories of Humankind.
May Peace be the Energy of Life
flowing freely in your life,
in your family, culture and nation-
those unions of co-creation.
May Peace be as a steady stream
of consciousness flowing clean and clear
for you and for all you hold dear.
May your life be ever free
of strategic manipulations
creating conflicts and divisions-
hatred, violence, revenge-
Peace sabotaged, betrayed, subverted
in ways that harm, not heal.
Thus, civilizations rise only to fall.
May we see that our own self-interest
individually, globally, needs to transform
to the highest Good for All.
This world has seen many leaders.
By what have our leaders been led?
How many have acted beyond self-interest?
Any true Peace on Earth will be
the highest Good for All.
No leader leads without support.
No leader, kind or not, elected or not,
no tyrant, aggressor, despot
ever living on this Earth
could rule over others
without forces of strong support,
without others accepting submission
to their powers, privileges, permissions assumed,
even rights proclaiming God’s will
used to do their own good or do ill.
Peace does not thrive in tyranny
of any form, in any place or relationship,
even dressed up as a law
and robed in a theocracy.
Peace without Freedoms
or Respect for Life everywhere-
without Good Will Lived-
is but a hope, a dream, a shadow
of what can be, collectively
and individually, in all our lives here.
Peace Within is Cause, not just Effect.
It affects and denotes our Evolution-
this Choice, Answer, Remedy, Solution
able to work miracles everywhere.
Peace to all beings. Peace on Earth.

Life Living Life

bodies and more
we are here but a moment
on this little planet
rotating and revolving
moving with other orbs
through the dark and light of space
bodies and more
we appear and disappear
Life the Creator creates
the Formless living in Forms
all forms here and everywhere
Life in forms aware or not
moves creates informs evolves
expands contracts dissolves
Life the Formless informs again
creating forms evolving
dualities dancing in harmony
on a floor of dark and light
context and possibilities
frequencies and vibrations
the music of Life
our senses gathering information
some seeing more some less
seeing a spectrum of colours
rainbows and prisms of colours
or black the absence of colour
no visual colour to human eyes
and white the inclusion of all
even invisible light
our bodies gradually evolving
as atoms cells molecules microbes
hormones bacteria viruses fungi elements
blood organs arteries veins nerves
glands skin nails teeth hair and more
of functions and systems active
electromagnetism and breathing active
in bodies of water bone and flesh
in webs and highways of information
our more gradually evolving
awareness intelligence understanding
mental and emotional maturity
evolving intuitions and instincts
to ever greater degrees
yet unlike many other animal lifeforms here
most of us unable to see
invisible energies invisible light
invisible life present
without our machines
most of us unable to hear
a wider range of signature sounds
without our technologies
most of us unable to smell
a wider range of signature odours
most of us unable to taste
fully discerning as we ingest
without our added chemicals
most of us unable to touch to feel
with heightened sensitivities
except with use of drugs
to feel or not to feel at all
we our bodies and more
experience Living through limitations
of human lifeforms
a range of abilities yet limited
in a wider spectrum of possibilities
that even now
we can’t conceive and comprehend
know and understand
as with other lifeforms known and unknown
yet our more is gradually
remembering
who we are that more
evolving and creating
always more ever more
through the wondrous Process
Life Living Life
through all through all
the Spirit of Life
in all in all in all
