Dormition
A dormitory for the restless
Where desires lay dormant
But the sleepless nights will have a dormition.
The ever watchful shall find eternal respite.
The walls of the unconscious mind have been transversed: a visitation to ease the vexation.
The ever presence of the ever present one.
The bosom of Abraham is offered such hospitality for a vagabond.
A nowhere nomadic looking for citizenship not of this world.
The one who has nowhere to lay his head has prepared a place for me.
Will I be given a white stone and hear thy secret name. No festal garment do I have.
For the feast of feast, the 8th day is forever.
This fallen world had tripped us up and now the wounds fester
But I rise up .
A daily conversion, an hourly catechism, a full immersion of all 5 senses
Restore me to the newness of thy ancient likeness.
For each day is a ever beginning and tomorrow is ever fleeting.
Let us behold eternity for a moment.
Take a breath for God is in the pause. Come back to your heart for the kingdom is at hand.
Smash those idols for we are living temples. Least we become a den of robbers a house of iniquity
What do you bring as an offering, a bloodless sacrifice.
Your heart is the altar and your mind a priest, your volition an offering. It is now the Passover from death to life. Let us ascend to the upper room.
An earthquake within your inner world has take place. The curtain of the temple has been wrought in two and heaven and earth are now joined.
I had a day dream but like a thief in the night I was overtaken.
