It Is the Burning


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",
“ABBA”, “AMMA”.

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

can pitch the refuse.
