I have seen a lot of different horizons over the years. The spectacular splendor and mystery of the universe beyond our sky has always fascinated me.
There is a new commercial about a Mitsubishi green car where the drivers, venture out to the edge of the earth to where that earth meets the sky. The couple stare out at it in awe for a few moments then Allison says, "hey, wanna head back?"
This is a phrase that has affected me quite profoundly in the past few weeks. As the days are getting shorter and shorter until we reach shortest day of the year, it stands as a meaphor for a life that saw the edge of the earth meeting the sky all too soon.
My nephew Taylor teetered along that edge for several days until their was no more energy to stand in the light while the shadows of the long cold bitter winter night took its effect. As I look back..and head back into the normal everyday chores of daily life, I still see that precipice where Taylor stood on the edge of that horizon. It was beautiful and almost inviting, but looked cold, bleak, vast and lonely nonetheless. It was a horizon he had been invited to head back from, but its power compelled him into it. See you on the otherside someday when I am prepared to not head back...
Horizons.

words
a word a rhyme a rythm cadence a linear phrase
a word a notation of symbols in black and white
a word that has no meaning only mimsy and nonsense
a word that opens up the universe of possibilities
a word that offers condolance sympathy compassion
a word that binds hearts entwining everlasting love
a word that immeasurably changes the course of history
a word becomes immortal in its uttering by the poet
a word a soft murmur of a lullabye to soothe away
a word as a benediction on an epitath of a life
a word that slashes into the heart tearing apart
all the words that ever were
a word a notation of symbols in black and white
a word that has no meaning only mimsy and nonsense
a word that opens up the universe of possibilities
a word that offers condolance sympathy compassion
a word that binds hearts entwining everlasting love
a word that immeasurably changes the course of history
a word becomes immortal in its uttering by the poet
a word a soft murmur of a lullabye to soothe away
a word as a benediction on an epitath of a life
a word that slashes into the heart tearing apart
all the words that ever were

Linear or cyclical?
A space and time behind this realm
of our linear broken reality
beyond the shadows of possibility
back up your mind to dream
into a space or place where there's no
blackened invitations on a soul
as beautiful as yours
somehere there is a love beyond
our motral graves
where a parchment agreement exists
knowing the power of everlasting
breath there is a soul's sun
emerging on our distant horizon
knowing everything ends...yet begins
again

breath there is a soul's sun
emerging on our distant horizon

Explorations of the past
I have always been a history buff. Especially when it comes to war. I know, that sounds very wrong coming from a peace activist and humanitarian. The abhorrence of war has always fascinated me because it has always moved the outcomes of the lives within those civilizations.
Why do I bring this up, when a lot of my previous focus has been on more futuristic models for our society's evolution. I guess because I have often heard: You can't know where you are going unless you know where you've come from. A little about destinations and direction I suppose. like Homer said...'the journey's the thing...'
Well, I guess one of the main reasons for bringing up is this wild idea that we have been energy that has always existed and whether we acted as witnesses to previous events or whether we believe we may have been incarnated from previous vessels in previous lifetimes, it is something I am very curious about exploring.
Some of my recent research on the matter has brought me back into deep space where it is thought that since the big bang, our DNA has been set into motion and has been travelling forward ever since through the matrix of time and space within bandwidths of light. Now if you are of Christian theology, you know that we are all created after the creator who is light. A light source we are not fully capable of understanding at this time as from what I have read, the creator's DNA is made up of 12 helix strands not just 2. So we have yet to evolve...but I understand, it is starting to occur.
Why do I bring up past life regressions or re-remembering? I guess because I have had a few experiences lately that have been quite overwhelming and profound. One is my remembrance of a war general in early Palestine around the time of Abraham. I remember the life of a man who was ruthless, fierce and brutal and bloodthirsty. Then he met a spiritual leader and his life changed 180 degrees. He then became a humanitarian and compassionate philanthropist and gave up his worldly position, status, power and possessions to serve others.
So, that is one vivid lifetime I have dreams about to this day. I had a very profound experience again the other day regarding someone I had chanced to meet. There was this profound re-remembering and connection within the very first moment my eyes connected with this other person. So profound it was like receiving an electrical current up my arm when we shook hands.
Now here is the wierd part. This person felt that same feeling as well. It was so overpowering for both of us that I could not concentrate on being in the present. There was so much about what may have happened from the past or what may very well be the evolution of the future that I felt in a complete time warp. I know this sounds very odd to most people as we often think in a linear pattern. But all I know is there was this deep, profound remmberance that goes beyond anything I had ever experienced. I had experienced it one other time, but the other person did not recognize of understand or feel it so the connection was not solidified.
So I wonder about whether or not to journey into some sort of past life regression to fully understand this connection and what it had meant to this individual and myself. Perhaps we had been in a relationship and had said we would find each other again. I get this feeling more than anything else at this point. The only real drawback to that situation is that in this timeline, the individual and myself are 25 years apart in age.
Whether or not a person believes in the idea of our spirits being eternal and being on an evolutionary path to gain enlightenment and knowledge as we travel into the light or not is entirely an individualistic belief. I guess from my own Christian knowledge and understanding, I had always been taught to believe we only get one time around...with a physical body here on this earth. But these events that I have shared have been too profound for me to think in such limiting beliefs.
Wish me luck as I journey to see if I can find out the source of this connection. Who were we, when did we live, where did we live, what did we do, and why is there such a powerful remembering of this person...without knowing them?
