'
Fiercely Hated I am ...by the very Envious;
mortally Feared I am ...by the very Evil;
forcefully Denied and heavily Fought I am ...by the very Cowardly;
scathingly Despised I am ...by the very Ugly.
'
But Loved and Respected by billions,
highly Intelligent and Wise in philosophy and governing, and
intensely Loving and Caring as saints are, am I
One of the most Beautiful,
for many the most Beautiful in Art and Music.
'
'
And that, you will then multiply by Beauty of your own,
you multiply it by your Loving, by true Care.
'
'
And that, the Loving and true Care, can carry real Wisdom,
actual Intelligence to life,
thus giving it to many.
'
That is the way, you stand by me.
'
'
'
'
Lovingly, you act - that is, I mean to say, that
free you are TO ACT:
Not by yourself originating bad emotions; and
free you are TO MOVE:
Not passing on another's bad intentions, not doing so in any
form; and
free you are TO SEE:
Not hiding things from proper view, that do need to be seen; and
free you are TO FEEL:
Not listening to Envy's dictate to destroy or else to hinder what
is very Good and Beautiful; and
free you are TO BE ALIVE:
Not using Hate to burn at any life ...not even when it begs for
Hate and goads you do its bidding.
'
'
ARDENTLY, you long
to tell, no matter how well camouflaged or hidden, the Pretense
from the Genuine.
'
'
PASSIONATELY, you fight
to ward true Evil off, to make it wither and contained by putting
Good around it.
'
'
VIBRANTLY, you live
to own the Joy that is maintained, you may not know, by truly
telling Ugliness, that is to say, by seeing it so very different
from Beauty.
'
'
It is how nature gifted you to be and feel,
and also now you show and guard that Beauty of your soul.
'
'
'
'
The things that follow now, are things not lightly said:
Inspired by light of poets, and considered well, they are.
'
The Roots of life that hold you standing now,
as well as trees are helped to stand and grow,
and as they clean the atmosphere, when light shines on their
leaves,
in other words, I think of you
to brave and soften the spiritual Storms on Earth,
'
the Hurricanes that rage,
the Cyclones, that you penetrate, behold and understand by going
through and reaching up above
'
the Clouds that cause Oblivion. But when you penetrate
'
the Veils that caused you to forget your cherished friends,
the Veils that hide your loss of exquisite abilities as well,
the riches of lives past you tend to feel again so often,
but then forgotten soon, or as a dream not understood,
they fade away as if they never were. But when you penetrate
'
the Nebulae that cause Serenity, there where they say, "you do not
have to Care," there where you know it All, where Love is just an
empty word that bounces off your chest. But when you penetrate
'
the Certainty that keeps enforced "you know the truth,"
the Certainty that does not need to see, that can not be
disturbed by looking, and
must not be disturbed by life,
by seeing that, what really happened, who did what,
the Certainty maintained by sensing not the Black of Night,
not even knowing, that such Unawareness can be felt and thus
can be removed, what seems to be
a perfect, hidden wall, which is maintained with Certainty,
a wall behind
'
the Clouds of Cotton Wool that are themselves impervious to sight,
which do prevent you want to even think of what's behind, and so you
are
accepting what is seen, as "truth perceived," as "feeling safe,"
a "fine experience" to undergo, to dream "reality"
which only in those Clouds seems nice and beautiful, and felt
as if awareness held you in its very arms, suggestive of a kiss as
never felt before. But when you penetrate
'
the Mists of blind Euphoria, the Fogs of lulled Security, the Clouds
that hold you trapped forever in the Cave,
which you know not about because your senses are then captive
too, you are not sensing then
the things that would and do become apparent as an Ugly Joy, when
Clouds are blown away or are dissolved by shining sun,
if seen and felt without that Mist, that is, exactly as things
are,
when true Awareness meets sensations that are present, soaked with
Ugliness, with Lies you did not want at all. Now if you penetrate
'
the Pretense, that does conjure up so many other Worlds,
which are designed to hide from you the real course of time,
designed to make you never find those places you should know,
the times and places where your Roots were cut, where Roots
were made to wither, foul and hollow.
'
You do compare those times and places, to what there was before,
and so
you feel again the Roots that hold you strong and standing.
'
'
'
You are connected to and in the truth of The Creation.
'
'
The Roots, with which you hold what is,
with which you hold what really was, and also what will be,
the Roots that keep life going, here on Earth as well
amidst the Clouds of White with which they want to cloak the Dark,
the Dark of Night with which they block your sensing what they
do and did and will still do;
amidst the Lightning Storms, the fires that those, who do pretend
to know, have set and keep ablaze to burn away your knowledge;
amidst the Hurricanes, the devastating motion smashing you and
anyone without regard for who you are, without respect for life
at all;
amidst the Cyclones spun around the core of those whose joy
consists of making others turn
to devastating fury, to make them rage against who would be
truly friends.
'
'
'
Your Roots do hold you standing,
you stand and look behind the Clouds,
you brave the Lightning Storms,
you hold out in the Hurricanes,
you reach above the Cyclones when you can.
'
'
If that is how you are, still now,
then stand by me,
whoever you are now,
wherever you are now,
whatever you are now,
then stand by me.
You are a friend most valued for us all to have.
