The sun is shining Not a drop of rain in sight Or so they tell me Despite not sleeping Work is off to a great start As best it can be My mind sparks with hope From first daydream arcs and arks Big ships, tiny squids Caught between extremes Everything and near nothing Threading each somehow So that Architect Threads not very good alone But astounding paired Thorough path vaulted Lonely path expedited Their "or"s claimed as ours Their hopes come and gone Adventurers to and fro Dragons and sparrows Each leg a blessing With every fox foot unique Till home evermore 

Footfall and Heartbeat F¤r The Dance

As time spirals outward, and some might say backwards, the one born on the last day, though some might say the first, wonders as to how anything more than what has already been seen might occur. She walks to and fro, seeing past and future as if the same movie, with the same static surrounding on all sides. Then all at once she sees her scene, like a dream rushing on screen and screen rushing her on stage all at once. The camera flashes and the lens remains, a straight line through the static and in eyes both green and blue she sees hope for the first time.  After that moment shared she rushes in and sees him do the same, but the moment they reunite comes ever closer but does not arrive. Instead, at each juncture, his eyes turn the palest blue and he moves his mouth as if speaking but nothing is heard. He leaves time and again, and she sees him wake each morning after, once more with the starry eyes she knows so well. First she screams at the screen as if he might hear, and then as...

Finale By Land And Sea

Some said he was an angel that would fight like a demon. Some said he was a demon that could fight like an angel. Some said every word was in his head Some said every true word he spoke became real Some seemed to know him well Some seemed to be expecting him for some time Some claimed him to be a dream, illusion, rumor, alternate this or parallel that Some knew already such sidesteps were worthless; this stranger had walked stranger roads than these to knock on their door. Hearts shook as denial of what they now witnessed with their eyes was cast to the ground along with all other such ego defenses. Despite dissention lines clearly drawn, faithful and faithless alike could agree and now prayed that what they had heard of the rainbow being God's sign of mercy was true and real. A moment would not pass before they found out for sure.

Clearing The Maze

*NONSENSE SPOILERS* Okay, so last time when examining the maze I decided one could "free the jester" by using items from the other rooms, and it felt like complete nonsense at the time, but very much on brand for me. Running through the maze again this time, however, I realized that it was not nearly as nonsensical as I thought... Page 8 "Make sure to take that with you," I said. "You never can tell when you might need it." This line establishes the precedent that the visitors (the reader), can take things from rooms to use them in other rooms. Notably in this room there is an umbrella and a candle. There are many other things that can be taken here as well, some might even say "a stethoscope" might be "taken" from this room, which is an interesting aside, but for my purposes in this blog entry the fact that objects can be taken and used elsewhere is most important; the candle is important as well. Also it is worth taking note that I am...

Warning 13

These warnings have been yours, not mine. Control here is mine, not yours. So often words fall flat, seeds unsprouted. So often sprouts burst forth, meaning shaped. My honest prayer is that one's intention marks one's path Not one's reputation or mistakes or lot, but heart. Reasons matter or none of us do But if path is hard may one wish to walk it with you. For these roads all feel long, when love's absent But every trek is gold when love's present

The sun is shining It's a pleasant 89 As April nears end Working late today Got to the meeting midway But looking spruced up Within these constraints Vow requires commitment To a certain look Still I maintain it And fallow fields shift to fit So I feel less seen Though I declare it Excitedly every time Stance thought hard, easy My Lord on my lips Perhaps my lady will be How else could this end? Some alternate choice? Some sort of wall erected? Who has such power? I could not see it If my perspective ceases Who'd call it "the end?" 

Tossing Pebbles

Of stones (and/or) pebbles I do prefer the latter Like a quiver filled Or an arrow loosed Though with sting soft transmuted A lover's quarrel Or a crossbow's string A wooden frame augmented Like dust in the wind Or fruit on the vine Would my lover deign to pick Apple of my eye? Or mind a dreaming? When I will tell you no lies Though true whilst at rest Or by light of day For my eyes sparkle for you Starry eyed by love Or by moonlit skies Vault this vault, spring forth in spring Be sunset and vine Or creep like shadow Promising a (single/fleeting) time Is not all we'll share

The sun is setting I do not regret late starts But these things will change A season finished Blooming a heart full and strong So next season shines One of preparing One of house set in order After this ghost storm A few lessons learned Shining bright in their station Path which brought them seen What of work today?

Sonnet of Reflection or Refraction

Just in time new light shines amidst rainbow Just in time white light sparkles in the red Hues coalesce into blanket of snow Just in time silence falls on flowerbed Winter weather whether diamond or pearl Soulmate or Hope in darkness of a kind Reflects or refracts into a new girl Illuminates gap unseen in my mind Traditionally such sparks overwhelm Instead I relax in this shiny peace With license to drive she takes her own helm In brutal storm fine for silvery fleece Perhaps halls ne'er seen of sour's sweet sting The one no one hired, timing everything 

Sign of The Origami Dollar

Image
When I began writing today my mind drifted to a clever way to use the word "or," in honor of my new "or" tag. I considered using the term "Origami" but that ended up slipping my mind in the fallow fields. A little later a friend announced that a timeframe had come to an end, unexpectedly, and in an amazing way. I walked with him to 7-11 and in the parking lot I found this on the ground. There is already symbolism for me to a dollar bill, as it is what my soulmate stole from me so early on (I'm guessing, from her perspective) in our dream adventures (that little robber!), so I tend to keep one in my wallet now at all times, in case she wants to do it again. The fact that I found this origami dollar today, and specifically at that juncture as I walked with my friend so that he could meet up with Hope (not joking there either), is astounding. I mentioned to a friend of mine yesterday that with this newest fold, if you will, it feels like the v...

Bible Musing- King of The Jews

Isaiah 43:13 "Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand.     When I act, who can reverse it?” Matthew 27:11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. Luke 23:3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. Mark 15:2 “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “You have said so,” Jesus replied. John 18:33-37 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?” “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?” Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.” “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answer...

Sonnet of Midnight

All of these midnights stretching in a line Like a well wishing traveler I say "At least one of you has green eyes like mine" Oh how I hope it is night of this day For I remain colorblind, it is true Along paths Christmas Lights might be shining Centurion's servant's salve would not do It is for Healer's touch I am pining So in this darkness I echolocate What else can a man like me hope achieve? I point out light's echo, calling soulmate As night lingers on, dawn yet to relieve Hollow paths crumble, those with her not here Pottery can reform, swift-ly by ear

OR.

"Soulmate OR Hope." These words echo in the halls of parley, my opponents grinning like devils. I roll my eyes and check my watch. "Gentleman, normally I am all for nonsense, but the hour is late, so I accept your offer; I shall take it." Some grin and some now look confused, but they still have the cohesion to ask in unison "Which?" My face twitches a smirk slightly and I take a deep breath before responding. "Oh, I don't know about all that, but I meant what I said: I shall take the package offered in full, it is most generous; I shall accept the lot of them which you have listed. For what is a boat without some means of propulsion, and could it be said sails set straight are of any use with winds tumultuous such as these?" They consider my angle here, clearly complex; they already suspect it is gilded with golden barbed wire, but after a bit of discussion amongst themselves they respond. "We said OR, not oar. You must choose." I ...

Timing- Easter

So something has been coming to mind in this last week. The Day of Unleavened Bread is the first day of Passover, and in Luke 22:7-8 it is written that this is also what is now called "The Last Supper."  Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” Therefore Good Friday cannot be the first Day of Passover, as it was this year, because timing it on this way puts Jesus both at the last supper and in the tomb at the same time. The timing of when Easter is celebrated seems to have been decided somewhat haphazardly hundreds of years later by committee at The Council of Nicaea, but the timing of Passover is precise, as given by God in Exodus 12.  Exodus 12:17-18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. ...

Something Like A Dream- Breaking Down

I saw something today, sparked by lyrics and lights, a dance, each of precise steps. It felt like a fast talking test, an aggressive parley, but one initiated in good faith because it was known, or at least believed, that I would resist this approach that perhaps no one else could, without an aggressive response. Sure enough the many words were soaked, and on a subconscious level I felt the "attack" building. It felt like when the segment ended it was time to assess the damage and I was given the opportunity to make my retort. I rested, seeing no need to respond under the circumstances, a kind of clarity heard clearly in deep halls. My "rival" smiled in a way that indicated this fight was over, it had been won, by both of us. Simultaneously I felt a tremor- gentle and smooth, nearly imperceptible, but perceived in full- one that seemed like it historically ripped reality apart at that juncture, but instead was felt like a ripple on the pond. My body responded enthus...

Halls eep Inception

"Alright, so we've got it figured out. Don't burn the girl, she's already dedicated, we can burn the house or the door." "A girl needs a place to live though." "This is true, the door then?" "A girl needs a door though. How else will she have privacy? What would you then knock on?" With finger to chin I consider how else this vow might be fulfilled, knowing The Holy Spirit would not steer me wrong on a matter so critical as this. Your very own words ring out in my head, from another time yet ahead, but already I feel as if I should expect such a thing. I *snap* my fingers.

Vision of The Universal Search for Hope

While listening to a particular bridge my soulmate has constructed I saw the following image in my mind, step by step being line by line, as the most thorough search for Hope I can imagine if she would be lost. I looked up at the moon and said hello. The image expanded to the sun and solar system. From the perspective of the solar system I saw and felt all the stars in The Milky Way. From these stars I felt every planet around them. From every planet I felt every moon shining back similarly to the one I felt on some level that I still walked under. From this saturated and broad perspective I then could see and feel every galaxy in the same way, like a webbed sea. From this perspective I remembered the darkness and the tangible form it possesses between stars and galaxies. Then I felt from this perspective that things might be changed, and Hope might truly be found in full. (I also remembered at this point the campaign with Minoas and the inception of The Lich, paralleling the halls of ...

The East From The West- Separation, Division

Psalm 103:11-12 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,     so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west,     so far has he removed our transgressions from us. I was just thinking about the sunrise Easter service today. I looked for the moon as I have been as of late, and sure enough it was just above the horizon to the west, setting (I said hello and gave a wave lol). I also remarked at the time that, because Easter is intertwined with the timing of Passover, which is based off of the Jewish lunar calendar, this effect of the sun and moon being visible nearly in full at sunrise on Easter would be a consistent sight year after year.  This year, as I have been paying attention to the moon more, I realized that Easter occuring just after the full moon means that the moon would set later and later in the morning, further after sunrise, with each day passed since the full moon. This mean that, consistently on this holiday,...

Sign of The Dove and Branch

As I was leaving church this morning, right as we were getting to the car, a dove flew overhead in the exact second needed to see them, with a branch (twig) in their mouth. I had never considered that the progression of the sign of the dove, as a parallel to the flood, would be a dove specifically carrying something (I always pictured a branch/twig, but rereading now it was a leaf. Still pretty on the nose, in my opinion). Only upon seeing this dove, having never seen one carrying a twig before, did this piece suddenly fall into place, and the message was heard loud and clear.  Genesis 8:11 (second trip) When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. I am reassured today that things are still going according to plan and are progressing on time as well. Still I wonder what the equivalent of a dove that does not return would be, given that I do not have a dove that I would exp...

The Collective Drinking of Wine in The Kingdom of The Father

Matthew 26:29  "I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” Luke 17:20-21 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” At one point I found it interesting that the only gospel where it is explicitly written that Jesus drank the wine vinegar offered to him on the cross was in John. At the time though I don't think I had been as focused on the gospels being iterative. Combining the details of what is written with the notion that each gospel describes events in sequence, rather than each gospel being parallel descriptions of the same events, creates a very promising picture. Matthew 27:48-50 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it ...

State Change- Of Mankind and Idols

I was just considering how these two verses can reconcile: Psalm 11:5 The Lord examines the righteous,     but the wicked, those who love violence,     he hates with a passion. Matthew 5:43-45 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." It seems humans are constantly shifting states. While some states might be stickier than others, it seems the distinction here is that it is the wickedness The Lord hates, but fundamentally (disregarding the template present in this case of wickedness) the individual is loved even when an enemy. As such, when a wicked person ceases being wicked, even though that person might still shift states again later, the person is loved (perhaps template and all is the distinction at this ...

Not One Bone Broken

Now that I'm thinking about the body being a temple and how that could translate to Jesus on the cross in John (similar to a Teselecta from Doctor Who), it makes more sense why emphasis would be placed on this prophecy in this particular gospel: John 19:36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,” Jesus indicated that he would be rebuilding the temple in 3 days.  John 2:19-21 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” But the temple he had spoken of was his body. If the reader takes this literally and pictures tiny Jesus inside something like a vehicle, physically rebuilding it from the inside so that it might be made operational again, it feels like puncture wounds and the like would be much easier to repair from a structural perspective than shattered bones. Perhaps th...

Double Faraday Cage- Part II

I just realized something very exciting about the Double Faraday Cage. People have said such an effect already exists, but they mistakenly believe that the effect of a Faraday Cage is the blocking of an EM field. EM fields can be blocked in multiple ways, whether into or out of a box; to my understanding the most common method of blocking an EM from escaping a box (the most common way people incorrectly call something a a Faraday Cage), involves running a charge through the perimeter of the cage. Faraday Cages however do not block an EM field, they convey an EM field from one location to another, without this field influencing the space between these two places- namely the Faraday Cage conveys signal from the outside of one face of a box/cube to the outside of the opposite face of the box/cube without the field influencing the area inside of the box/cube.  Today I considered that it would be insufficient, therefore, to simply block an EM field from escaping a box/cube (whilst also ...

The Sign of Jonah- A More Direct Interpretation

Matthew 12:39-42 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here." I was just considering the story and sign of Jonah again. It seems reasonable that the common interpretation is that Jesus is explicitly saying that he will die, be dead for 3 days, and then be resurrected. Now that I am examining what was said carefully, however, with "The Day of The Lord Signaled In 4 ...

The Day of The Lord Signaled in 4 parts

John 11:9 "Are there not 12 hours of daylight"  Acts 2:20 ( quoting Joel 2:31 , though in Joel the day was called "dreadful," not "glorious" as it is in Acts, as if the nature of this day was now shifted on account of Jesus) "'The sun will be turned to darkness     and the moon to blood     before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.'" Jesus also spoke of the sun darkening (paraphrasing/referencing Isaiah 13:10 ) Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened,     and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky,     and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’" In reading the gospels again, a significant sign stands out as being noted in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, but not in John. Matthew 27:45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. In Matthew this darkness ended before/as Jesus died. Mark 15:33 At noon, darkness came over the...
