eNerGy
there is energy everywhere
even when we sleep
matter creeps between our eardrums
finding a comfy spot to dream
of what we haven't been
or what we should be
Our expectations need too much
technocratic reality
while the TRUTH hides
stitched like a rag doll
missing a button for an eye
innocence is often blind
mind purified yet connected
to an invisible umbilical chord
emitting ChAnGe through a constant tube
"Buy this & you will become more beautiful"
The teleViSiOn channel turned black
when I pulled the plug
not allowing the system's opinion
inside my thoughts . . .
those of which are
righteously rebellious
luminary vibrations
bouncing off neighbor planets
waiting for time to travel
on a Mayan calendar
or lunar cycle
What can I rely on?
eNerGy
there is energy everywhere
even when we stop
Mother Earth still moves
as materialism floats on
I feel the future more than before
the past was just that
ONE force to reflect over
an electron now atomic wonder
touching a tip of the sky
holding it up with my spindle finger
I point out into the uniVeRsE
translucent like a hologram
understanding the unknown
realizing where I come from
nothing
but
LOVE

5/29/09 Words thought up by Man have many meanings. The Creator patiently & lovingly speaks with each one of us through splendid, imperishable acts. The rising of the Sun & the silvery sheen of the Moon, the soft mist & tender dew, playing with the Sun's ray & drinking in the heavenly blue. The Universe is filled with so many clear examples like that. Just look around you. They touch you & everyone else too . . .
Try to look at life with an open heart. Purify thought from vain & fruitless art, & then you will see the world, the Creator of the Universe & yourself.
--- Anastasia quoted from The Space of Love

4/15/09 Why do people admit the Earth to be a celestial body, the greatest creation of the Supreme Mind with each system component as His greatest achievement, and then go tear this system apart and devote so much to its destruction? --- Anastasia of The Ringing Cedars Series
3/23/09 If you are looking for people to praise you, you're not paying attention to where you're going . . . Your path is for your good, and your mission is for the welfare of others. --- the message of Tadodaho Chief Leon Shenandoah

sustAINAbility
is not real without our AINA
in the middle so clear
it screams out beyond this land
supporting us to meet our needs
or is it greed holding us hostage
every time a conscious deed is dismissed
there are regrets yet chances to fix
whatever tweak startled
Mother Nature
mauka to makai
rainforest green reaching cotton candy skies
sometimes she cries
over delicate ecosystems
forced into demise
due to jaded eyes of infrastructure
If we do not care
how will our children live
reusing disintegrated rubbish
left by their ancestors
Our time here is scarce
enough to change the universe's pulse
as it beats with all the little things
we do to heal
stitches & scars
of tomorrow's yesterday
merely a sandstone memory
petrified then blown away
Nothing remains the same
only the aloha
for our AINA

7/8/08 I believe that to meet the challenge of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family, or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. Universal responsibility is the real key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace, the equitable use of natural resources, and through concern for future generations, the proper care of the environment. --- Insight from the Dalai Lama

I am an indigenous Indigo child satiated between fifth & sixth dimension with a 3rd eye portal changing channels outside of tunnel vision
My 6 senses have protected peripheral filters sifting out the dark granules which might never become crystallized
Instead they drain bright light as a monotonous monsoon would cause tragic tsunamis
An image of fish drowning in dry sand
Mermaids on limu lock down & sad starfish unable to twinkle
overshadows New Earth ascension covering up blood clot bruised cocoons so pitiful even arnica cream does not take discoloration away
Sometimes a little evil makes more good better because we have to learn how to balance our teeter totter
Children please don't forget your merry-go-round turn
Push off the playground
Spin grin with wind shoved down voice valves
If only lips were sewn together for every lie
KARMA comes back bold in capital letters from the post office of Fate
Envelopes unlicked slit fingertips blaming suicidal tendencies because all have flaws except the Kai Goddess of shamanism
She is everything healing our evaporated tears
waxed & waned by Aloha Luna's stellar wand
smothered & covered before a cotton candy sky melts into her
marine carnival
this is your temple
One iridescent reflection absorbing mind body & sol
like the sun in Espanol tattooing permanent freckles upon faces stating
"My rays were here"
to blaze blessings & refrain from coincidence
When I wax & wane my brain
under a moonlit slit peephole
like an ivory mole
as beauty marks
luminarie speckles all over night's face
I wonder . . .
Will tomorrow's waves swell for me?

JUST BE

Sometimes I wonder why I try
then sigh asking myself
Who are you trying to beat
What am I attempting to conquer
Is it human
Can it walk on water
or does Babylon just keep spinning
My mind reciprocates
"just be"
Friends remind me the light is inside
Drop the ego to pickup humility
without doubt
I am drained from my hollow pores
Stored
as a dazed amazing creature craving simplicity dives into the blue
kissing serene greenness
Save me like a skeleton reef
sharp yet stable
leaving able to believe
wherever I start soon will be finished
so breathe
then sigh asking myself
Who are you trying to beat
What am I attempting to conquer
Is it human
Can it walk on water
or does Babylon just keep spinning
My mind reciprocates
"just be"
Friends remind me the light is inside
Drop the ego to pickup humility
without doubt
I am drained from my hollow pores
Stored
as a dazed amazing creature craving simplicity dives into the blue
kissing serene greenness
Save me like a skeleton reef
sharp yet stable
leaving able to believe
wherever I start soon will be finished
so breathe
There is no room in my life for doubt.
Once a negative thought sneaks in
a door is open to failure.
Doubt what?
doubt NOTHING

Before I paddled out
one uncle came to me & said
"You're a serious surfer"
I corrected him & said
"No. I'm a Sol surfer"

I corrected him & said

Inside the barrel
I become a swirl of silver Mercury
within my very own planet
COMMIT
the rest is history
See through the iris of her fluid bodice
so time will trade
seconds into minutes
One minute is a legacy
Liquid rushing over
ever drenching my dry thoughts
mind-washed returning to Earth
I swallow a breath of island wind
and SMILE
Between Us

Still as we are
powerless versus Kai Goddess
try to surf but beware
just keep paddling almost there
where she sprays the sol setting reflection
beyond your irie eyes
in awe I stare into her heavy rapture
rolling toward shore
whitewash shaping nude beaches
in the morning
before you go outside to play
with her majestic waves
between us
she slips rapidly
over & through
then releases all over again
where she sprays the sol setting reflection
beyond your irie eyes
in awe I stare into her heavy rapture
rolling toward shore
whitewash shaping nude beaches
in the morning
before you go outside to play
with her majestic waves
between us
she slips rapidly
over & through
then releases all over again
