Aequis Meissen: so I was thinking lately about generosity
Aequis Meissen: and what it means to Gift
Aequis Meissen: if we have plenty to give
tea_and_pi: yes there is a portion of the writings of gibran
Aequis Meissen: why harbor anything but benefaction?
tea_and_pi: that the apple tree does not choose who eats the apples
Aequis Meissen: yes
Aequis Meissen: yes
Aequis Meissen: Let us be concerned more of our foundations and roots
tea_and_pi: but the real test is do we harbor it so intensely that we wither and die
Aequis Meissen: we draw our life's richness from a common root
Aequis Meissen: each other supplying the discernible links between
tea_and_pi: there is a portion in us that learns to release the fruit
Aequis Meissen: till we wend into each other's souls and heart like baby into a mother's arms
tea_and_pi: and know so much more will pass through
tea_and_pi: if we are truly of the orchard
Aequis Meissen: I speak outloud much more these days
Aequis Meissen: and ever shall from now on
Aequis Meissen: very rich encounters sometimes
Aequis Meissen: like an urgency to speak
Aequis Meissen: and response, too
Aequis Meissen: sometimes exquisitely impassioned
Aequis Meissen: sometimes mercifully pleading
Aequis Meissen: sometimes sobbing to say I love you till it hurts
Aequis Meissen: everything we protect, lays in our own breast
tea_and_pi: i cannot hold or protect
Aequis Meissen: for we are the Treasure Chamber's Hall
tea_and_pi: but tell me
tea_and_pi: is it the same to offer wisdom and council
Aequis Meissen: U have to almost hang upside down to see it
tea_and_pi: in dire situations that i know when the predator
tea_and_pi: lays in wait
Aequis Meissen: think of this...a mental experiment
Aequis Meissen: let me relate
Aequis Meissen: remember the Mountain Story
Aequis Meissen: when in the Drift and Snow
Aequis Meissen: I met the One eyed Mountain Smithe
tea_and_pi: ...
tea_and_pi: yes
Aequis Meissen: and I was led through the Mist to the Mountain Gait
tea_and_pi: yes
Aequis Meissen: or so it seemed
Aequis Meissen: the Loft overhead under which we passed was past my sight, but massive
Aequis Meissen: then entering to their Meeting
Aequis Meissen: the Music began, and they danced around and around
tea_and_pi: i remember
Aequis Meissen: some in 2 or more smaller groups
Aequis Meissen: joyful, but more like mathematics
Aequis Meissen: them taking parts in moving our a story of parts
Aequis Meissen: motioning their gravity of influences, in groups larger
tea_and_pi: you see this i know
tea_and_pi: go on
Aequis Meissen: and so it was, I almost at first sight leapt into the draft of their numbers
Aequis Meissen: and danced around, overcoming the narrower spheres of their own maneuvering
Aequis Meissen: spelling out the ascent and descent at once
Aequis Meissen: till drawn down and flying wide round the spectrum of influences
Aequis Meissen: spun to my back, then shoulders...till upright but upside down
Aequis Meissen: the motion stopped with a heaving sigh
Aequis Meissen: and my hanging hair became the Tree's Roots
Aequis Meissen: my toenails the stars
tea_and_pi: yaggdasel again
Aequis Meissen: and from their Patio of Dance
Aequis Meissen: my Eye upon the Stadium of Ascension
Aequis Meissen: a Great Mansion
Aequis Meissen: from Mountain Roots
Aequis Meissen: to Heaven's Caverned Vault
Aequis Meissen: Voila
Aequis Meissen: the arrangement we all perceive here
Aequis Meissen: is too horizontal, too linear
Aequis Meissen: we fear what may lay upon the Line
Aequis Meissen: and choose our lines by our intention
tea_and_pi: yes
Aequis Meissen: dragging out our gravity of spin
tea_and_pi: well put i see
Aequis Meissen: this orients us to others, who's upkeep we must sometimes spend ourselves on
Aequis Meissen: in order not to foul our own dire motions, or more determined defenses
Aequis Meissen: but choose we do
Aequis Meissen: and so bear out our karmic debts
Aequis Meissen: owning others as we influence them
Aequis Meissen: escaping no debt of influence
Aequis Meissen: harmed sometimes thereby
tea_and_pi: yes
Aequis Meissen: othertimes nourished, if we invest right...in our motions
Aequis Meissen: emotions
Aequis Meissen: and the thought designs raised to support the expressions
Aequis Meissen: thus the Word goes forth
tea_and_pi: but this still implys the balance of awakedness that one nudges the other
Aequis Meissen: and Creation, the Heart and Soul renewed
tea_and_pi: or takes turns
Aequis Meissen: the third thing is aught different
tea_and_pi: the third thing
tea_and_pi: on the trinity would be a balance
Aequis Meissen: yes
tea_and_pi: but so rare
Aequis Meissen: now why not tell me what this is
Aequis Meissen: quickly
Aequis Meissen: one word
tea_and_pi: love
tea_and_pi: of course
Aequis Meissen: spirit
Aequis Meissen: whose substance is love
tea_and_pi: the active element
tea_and_pi: ah
Aequis Meissen: it literally is the incarnation
Aequis Meissen: and our translation thereafter, through purification
Aequis Meissen: unto resurrection
tea_and_pi: purification?
Aequis Meissen: second resurrection, that is
Aequis Meissen: after which there is no death
Aequis Meissen: and so the Spirit Soars now
tea_and_pi: a final death
Aequis Meissen: if our Temple be Erect
tea_and_pi: temples
Aequis Meissen: and Love is the Light of the Temple
Aequis Meissen: our Bodies, which are the micro-structures of creation
Aequis Meissen: the subtle mirrors of the all
tea_and_pi: or prism point
Aequis Meissen: and We, together, as One united
Aequis Meissen: are the Focal Node of the Holy
tea_and_pi: tell me this
Aequis Meissen: wholly Beauty, wholly Wisdom, wholly Love
tea_and_pi: why is it that we insist on desire and longing
Aequis Meissen: we cherish, naturally
tea_and_pi: why is it so persistent
Aequis Meissen: it is the substance of devotion
Aequis Meissen: not tuned well, maybe
tea_and_pi: in spit of sight
tea_and_pi: or vision
Aequis Meissen: but a spring of action
Aequis Meissen: we rest upon this Wheel
Aequis Meissen: a motive force, born of very biology
Aequis Meissen: an interesting motor
tea_and_pi: and as in your pain...i know your longing for the beloved
Aequis Meissen: which one can keep revving, without direction
Aequis Meissen: like a low burning fire
tea_and_pi: and how its both sweet and unbearable
Aequis Meissen: punctuating the intensity and urgency of the heart
Aequis Meissen: in some respect
tea_and_pi: how do we survive?
Aequis Meissen: choosing it's devotional objects
Aequis Meissen: right or wrongly
Aequis Meissen: we take responsibility
Aequis Meissen: we own
Aequis Meissen: we cherish
Aequis Meissen: we confess our weaknesses
tea_and_pi: yes
Aequis Meissen: pray for bettered strength
Aequis Meissen: be cherishable
tea_and_pi: we have
Aequis Meissen: ooze into the warming embrace of promising tranquility
Aequis Meissen: it is our trust in the bare nakedness of the day
Aequis Meissen: our now
Aequis Meissen: which is spirit born
Aequis Meissen: and a child, literal child
Aequis Meissen: this cherishing simplicity is real
Aequis Meissen: no mere construct
Aequis Meissen: for the golden child is just that
Aequis Meissen: a genuine, spiritual inheritance
Aequis Meissen: and one blade of golden lock
Aequis Meissen: upholds all of Creation under the Sun
Aequis Meissen: which is our Parenthood
Aequis Meissen: with the
Aequis Meissen: Moon
Aequis Meissen: who bears the Child, as our Madonna
Aequis Meissen: see
Aequis Meissen: Our Life...this Third thing
Aequis Meissen: is our Nurturing
tea_and_pi: yes
Aequis Meissen: and we thus partake of the Mother's Milk
Aequis Meissen: the Philospher's See
Aequis Meissen: then our Father's Strength
Aequis Meissen: Oaken Sanctuary
Aequis Meissen: where the Red Lord IS persuasion
Aequis Meissen: then comes the Contest
Aequis Meissen: and Hestia steps forward
Aequis Meissen: the Starkest Memory
Aequis Meissen: whom none dares offend
Aequis Meissen: precisely for her Mildness
Aequis Meissen: her Mean
Aequis Meissen: her Middle
Aequis Meissen: her Third
tea_and_pi: ah
Aequis Meissen: thus Our Sacred Hearth
Aequis Meissen: IS the very Heart of what we know and show of Life
tea_and_pi: it can be created
Aequis Meissen: and we Own this process
Aequis Meissen: for it IS our Inheritance
Aequis Meissen: our Station, set among the stars
Aequis Meissen: who sung in the morning together
Aequis Meissen: when raised at first the foundations of the temple
Aequis Meissen: and rung round the spheres the orbital delight of aeons
tea_and_pi: reminding us of the joy
tea_and_pi: i treasure this
Aequis Meissen: it is this cherishing then
Aequis Meissen: our present innocence
Aequis Meissen: which we nurture
Aequis Meissen: our One Devotion
Aequis Meissen: which is lovely and kind and beautiful
Aequis Meissen: patient and spontaneous and artistic
Aequis Meissen: clever and witty and wise
Aequis Meissen: playful, mischievous, pranksteruy
tea_and_pi: chuckle
Aequis Meissen: tomfoolery and jester-like insight
Aequis Meissen: making Cere's laugh upon her way in search
Aequis Meissen: but which we do no longer search
Aequis Meissen: but are raised upon the Rites of Ceres/Demeter
Aequis Meissen: the Golden Shocks ingathered
Aequis Meissen: Stored to the Ceiling, our Grain
Aequis Meissen: which like Dragon Bones once strewn
Aequis Meissen: become the inheritance among men
Aequis Meissen: and the salvators mundi
Aequis Meissen: light of the world, salt of spirit
Aequis Meissen: reflecting over the craven bushels the sight past guessing
tea_and_pi: ...
Aequis Meissen: would you put this light under the bushels, and burn down the world?
Aequis Meissen: or raise it on a hill, a beacon
tea_and_pi: more likely set a beacon to the stars
Aequis Meissen: which becomes the new city, uncloven stone
Aequis Meissen: made without hands
Aequis Meissen: sheer light and substance, inherited and perfected
Aequis Meissen: like that Achilles hung by Ceres over the fire
Aequis Meissen: turning him to perfect his mortality
Aequis Meissen: in the Coals
Aequis Meissen: till his maid mother did Fear
Aequis Meissen: and Fearing Call Out for Rescue
Aequis Meissen: when the Torture WAS the Rescue, indeed
tea_and_pi: ah
Aequis Meissen: though she linearly feared the Dissolution
Aequis Meissen: it's a Weaver's Art
Aequis Meissen: wherefore the Graces dance
Aequis Meissen: and gift men the motion of creation
Aequis Meissen: weft and woof
Aequis Meissen: harmonizing the spheres of influence
tea_and_pi: ahh
Aequis Meissen: this is Aesthetics
Aequis Meissen: and it's the highest Intelligence of Creation
Aequis Meissen: which is sheer movement
Aequis Meissen: without an efficient cause
Aequis Meissen: it's own cause
tea_and_pi: delightful
Aequis Meissen: a lively spirit
Aequis Meissen: most subtle
Aequis Meissen: penetrates everything, sustaining them]
Aequis Meissen: breathing form and life and vigor into their seeming mortal fabric
Aequis Meissen: this is the love of our Maiden Queen
Aequis Meissen: who is our Sister
tea_and_pi:
tea_and_pi: yes
Aequis Meissen: which also paradigm suits our Genders
tea_and_pi: i understand
Aequis Meissen: for Ye have your young Green Prince
Aequis Meissen: but the Mother's Rule the Earth
Aequis Meissen: and the Son's inherit from Her
Aequis Meissen: the Matrimony of Heaven and Earth
Aequis Meissen: gods and godlike men adoring
Aequis Meissen: the Ascension Order of our Spheres is awsome majesty
Aequis Meissen: and we ambrace each other as our compliment
Aequis Meissen: nurturing the way
Aequis Meissen: we endear ourselves, by ourselves
Aequis Meissen: clasping the cusp of each other's bedroom hems
Aequis Meissen: pleading for midnight stories of heroes, heras ventured
Aequis Meissen: the mists on the lake and moon swung low some whispered eve
Aequis Meissen: how we pray
Aequis Meissen: pray
Aequis Meissen: pray...the verture of our hearts' satisfaction
Aequis Meissen: pleading again into our dreams
Aequis Meissen: the sweet admiration of lovers
Aequis Meissen: the soft and gentle streams of our affections purest waters
Aequis Meissen: spending out the tides's sure influences
Aequis Meissen: embracing, and embraced
Aequis Meissen: Water, Earth, Air
Aequis Meissen: semblancing the Fire in friction of Motion among Us
Aequis Meissen: sweet spell subtlest kisses
Aequis Meissen: from one upon an other to the next
tea_and_pi: ...
Aequis Meissen: pleading, praying, unity
Aequis Meissen: thus the Child emerges
Aequis Meissen: and our Resurrection occurs
Aequis Meissen: then all Doors swing open
Aequis Meissen: and the Universe lays before us
Aequis Meissen: like a ripe Table of Influence, and Eternal Banquet
Aequis Meissen: the Holy See
tea_and_pi: ...
Aequis Meissen: it's all about rebirth
Aequis Meissen: but the time is now
Aequis Meissen: we must accomplish this innocence
Aequis Meissen: and forebear to defend
Aequis Meissen: defending but our tears, cherishing them in our hope
Aequis Meissen: not letting anything slip
Aequis Meissen: but knowing also the embraced care that urges us
Aequis Meissen: urging us to ourselves, and to the insight
tea_and_pi: ..
Aequis Meissen: for the majesty of the quest is nothing but nearest to your care
Aequis Meissen: and the fountain of your rejuvenation, nearer than your very lips
Aequis Meissen: your own soul, the Holy Grail
Aequis Meissen: your own heart, the Royal Blood
Aequis Meissen: Drink, and B Satisfied
