In challenging times

create the ability to be adaptable

consider seriously what is important in your life

what and who you need and how you can secure these to your mutual advantage

in challenging times when the money supply withers

and the value of it decreases, where debt is transacted freely until its too late

focus on building a supportive infrastructure than can allow you to eat, work and live

freely, to think freely and to make sure that you can keep it

but yet also know that in challenging times

by intelligent sharing, a greater wealth is created

amongst those like yourself

all the the elements

that make you

move in waves

short impulses

long undulating

spirals,waves

that heave and sign

and by their action

generate the stuff of matter

squeezing out the essence of gravity

spreading out the strands of light

that illuminate us to think

be, free and content

to understand the

human impulse of dissatisfaction

there is

only

one word

that can express all that you can be

regardless of where you have come from and imagine that you are going to be

and that is:

love

no  matter

where you are

no matter where you think you are

no matter what you believe yourself to believe

in matter

in thought

which is matter

there is

presence

in

all things

the ever knowing

You

Uncertainty

is an opportunity for knowing

uncertainity dwells in everything

trust it as a principle of wisdom and action

the way

does not have a habit , name or routine or definition

but it does have a path

and that is

you,

your life

your experience

come to the fire

and cast away your doubts

burn all your troubles

so in the ash

you will find the jewel

you seek

come to the fire

blessing earth, wind, water

connecting

come to the fire

and know your inner flame

in the spark and  in the cinder

is the tinder of your growing soul

let the flames of knowing

rise up

and

illuminate

come to the fire, come to the fire

celebrate

who you truly are

they’ll try to buy the wind

they’ll try to buy  the sea

they’ll try to buy your dreams

and sell them back to you and me

they’ll try to buy the meaning behind your dreams and plans

they’ll try to buy your children,

your beloved

and the ground on which you  stand

they’ll try to buy your feelings

and your sense of what is right

they’ll try to buy your laughter

and ban it overnight

they’ll try to steal what you believe in

and they will turn your deepest fears

into a popular song

they’ll march with you to save the world

and protest the march was wrong

they’ll sell and steal

and make anew

all the things  they can

and when they have sold

all that there is to take

they’ll say you stole it all

and you’ll believe so sincerely

that

‘it’

was your mistake

Look

at the patterns

in the rain

the cycles of each leaf as they twist

together in the wind

the curl of the wave

the scudding of clouds

look

at the patterns of your thoughts

the beating of your heart

the rise and fall of blood

in arterial splendour

look

and

you will

see

Democracy  since its first inception in Athens

has forged itself to economics

that is human nature

but if democracy is to

evolve

it needs to go beyond

choice,

the rights of the individual

the freedom of travel

capitalism and its gifts

but fully embrace

non-violence

non judgement

and the creation of

a modern charter of privacy and self-determination

that is universal to all
