Inside
of the flame;
in the center of the fire
no matter what
your faith;
no matter what
brought you to
the striking of this match,
there is a silencing
stillness that makes you
hold your breath,
close your eyes
and breathe, "ahhhhhhh".
Just this side of
screaming "ALLAH",
in the center of the fire
no matter what
your faith;
no matter what
brought you to
the striking of this match,
there is a silencing
stillness that makes you
hold your breath,
close your eyes
and breathe, "ahhhhhhh".
Just this side of
screaming "ALLAH",
“ABBA”,
“AMMA”.
All the world lights
a candle in AWE.
All the world lights
a candle in AWE.
But
wait,
(WATCH
THE SHIFT)
take
that candle
and its
still
and
swaggering flame
to
light a fire
in the
pit of life’s darkness
and one's own
singularity
and journey
to the
"who" you hold
on to
so desperately.
Take
the flame
and
watch as
stillness
need give way
to
movement and a drafty
vacuum
that calls the flame
to
consume the whole of the
wood-life
and shadow
you
have laid down as fuel;
built
as your SELF.
That draft,
that drawling out
howling sound
that is a breathing
in of the cosmos -
a breathing in
of God's SPIRIT -
it is the burning up
of all
you have
built up
against
the storm. It
is a burning
up of the ego of this
house of life until
it reaches the center of
it all.
It is then that we
see;
and then that
we recognize
that stillness
is simply that place
in the very center
of the burning –
in the center
of the chaos of
being transformed
into the ONE who
is still motion.
It is the Burning.
It is
the Burning
that is
our life.
All the fuel WILL
be burned;
We,
we are invited
to the show
of its burning.
Many will not see
it for what it is.
The burning,
the burning is not
a way we can
choose
to go.
The BURNING
is our life. See
if you
