Thoughts

Tracing all the formal and non formal lines

I have yet to find

The form inside the Higher mind.

And so it is such, that inside

a mans/womans life

there would be the cycles of purification.

As I ponder the path,

I have met myself many times

and more times are yet to come

to which i look forward.

There was sacrificed a breath

which breathed me through.

A continuum inside a vacuum

emanating a single sound, a single cord.

Pleasures that brought me here

confuse me now

as fortitude deepens the path

to new horizons.

So, as I travel this path amonst many spaces

knowing naught the forms inside,

I cling to the abstract thoughts

that they are in.

Hi Katie - I love this stanza: "Pleasures that brought me here confuse me now as fortitude deepens the path to new horizons." This really speaks to me. For me, it made think about where I am in my life right now and how I got there. What brought me here isn't necessarily what keeps me from going. I loved the whole thing. Another wonderful poem.

Good morning, Katie. What a refreshing way to start my day! You have me really thinking now. This poem will be on my mind today, for sure.... I'll be "chewing" on it awhile. Right now, what I read into it (looking past your typos, lol), is the cycle of life we have every 7 years. I'm at a stubborn point right now, and am fighting with things. I might come back to this poem and give more insight.

Want me to point out the typos? Or do ya think you can find them. I found at least three.

Anyway, Katie. Hope you have a beautiful day today.

lololololol (giggling affectionately) :)
I know I posted it late last night and I was tired,
after posting I saw a couple of them but was too tired to go back and change lol,
seven year cycles, hmm, some say there are nine year cycles and I believe there are 21 day cycles as well as 21 year cycles, I think there are cycles inside of cycles lolololol
(more giggling) ok, you make me smile :)
anyway I think what I was trying to portray here is my focus on the abstract and not the forms of things, and also speaking of my years as how I have changed so many times and also how I am able to see myself or old selfs in everything and everyone, and look forward to seeing what i become :)
well there is more to it than that, but I'll leave it there for now.
morning huh? it is night time for me now, ya, its been a busy day, a very good day though. see you soon :D

The deeper and farther that we go into our journey, the farther we have to expand our comfort zone. Old ways are tested, new paths may become scary, and we may not have a clear vision of our own reality. At least that what this reminded of in myself. Do you ever get that, where when you try to let go of everything, and you're afraid, because don't have anything to hold onto. I suppose it's more ego trappings....
Very nice poem.

yes, yes, yes, we expand our comfort zone and yet slowly though because we can not seem to be able to let go of all of it. yes, I do feel that if I become too spiritual then I won't be able to do this or that anymore, its silly but true, yup, 'the ego trappings' :D
yes, we don't have clear vision and I don't think that we can at least not completely, in this cycle of life we have but to complete a certain growth, and all are growing though not in the same way.
as you say about truth, it is different at every intersection. I feel as though in this poem I was attempting to express vision as I can not see it, because of my abstract ways, I can not figure out form because of it , and most probably for me that is a good thing.
oh, oh, I am going on a thought tangem again (I know I spelled that wrong) I think its why I called this; (thought that come to naught) because I really do go round about sometimes, i really never get anywher specific, but it sure does seem like it lol! Oh, its great talking with you ^_^
loving smiles ~katie

A few typos but we all make typos and don't always realize them. We cling to that which is familar to us because we are comfortable with it. We run into pieces of ourselves everyday whether we realize it or not. There is no escaping that.
Along our travels, yes, many places with unkown porms will be brought to us. We will again cling to the form known to us even though the unform is not seen.
Well that's just my way of looking at this piece.
Maybe right, partially right or wrong with why you wrote it. You know me though won't pretend to understand your meaning.

Peace Love and Understanding.

P.S. I hope that our thoughts and prayers (for those who joined in) are heard and answered for Mandy's well being.

^_^ yes Mathew, it was a very special event taht took place the other day, it brought the connection of spiritual guidance and opened us to a larger life link.
still I can't thankyou guys enough, I don't know the words ^_^

ok,,,, ah, yes the typos lol, I had better get them fixed.
yes you have a good picture of the ego and how it behaves, always clinging to forms, and although I tend to think more abstract anyhow, the forms need to be understood in a deeper way than I can in my mind anyway, although maybe not form as we know it but the underlying patterns. hmmm, ok, now here is where I confuse myself lollolol.
yes, and your right its cool to be able to see yourself here and there and to know it. many people do not connect to themselves in other people, places, or things.
thanks Matthew, I hope your day is most beautiful

It'not the destination that brings us joy... it is the journey!!!

"As I ponder the path, I have met myself many times..."

Classy Peach

What a wonderful compilation of generosity of soul on this page/poem. Wow. I am so addicted to reading peoples thoughts like this. Everyone has their own niche about life. Everytime I read a book by Paulo Coelho I feel "baptized" (it's a peach baptism...ha!) and ready for life, as you've indicated in this poetry (have YOU read the Witch of Portabello?).

Bah! Katie, we're too deep!
What do you mean in the 2nd last stanza?

Oh, also, I need some good thoughts for a friend who needs to jump cycles right now. We may have spoke of him before and all little bits help. (this poetry reminded me of that)

I too believe that change brings us closer/thins the veil to the spirit world and in this poem you speak continually of moving forward. All in all, this poem is talking about change, and I believe, never be scared of change.

Hope you're good today Katie, a rough day for you, with a few more rough days in the week ahead yet. It's always a pleasure to meet on your plane.

hahahaah, yes, we are too deep, HA, but ite fun ^_^
oh, I love how you said that 'a pleasure to meet on your plane LOL! it kinda seems like that huh? we are connecting on different levels and it is SO FREEKIN COOOOOOOL!!!!!!!

oh-no try to explain that line, ok-- its like this; when in the atmosphere there are these vortexes and such, and all the atoms that go this way and that way in a dance like but to me I can not figure out any kind of pattern to it, which is probably a good thing lol.
through reading, I know that we only see about 4% of all taht is, so there is alot most of us do not see. I also believe there are geometrical symbols and designs to everything. so that is that and it is too far away from my comprehension at this time lol.
although there are many minds with the capacity to discern patterns but i don't think they aware of it?
hmmm ok, and yes I am koo-koo lol. but in a good way lol

the witch of portabeelo? noooooooooop ^_^ I don't think so.
you think I should? right now I am reading esoteric meditation by Alice Bailey, then I have to read; 'the consciousness of an atom' hahahhha yes real deeeeeeeeeeep lol energy and info,,, 'help I may go o0n overload again' oh-no lol.

ok your friend? you want I should send some energy, or just to talk? change is a funny thing, its great to be able to bend with it, the more flexible/adjustable we are the better.
the more accepting of anything that comes or goes, sinse all things are fleeting. if where a person is, they are in a learning period and that experience is not full circle and they move, then eventually they will wind up in the same experience with different clothing. HA, it disguises it self.
ah, but they can't fool me hahahahaahahahahahah..
heheeh, it always a treat with you, I feel better now, much better :)
thankyou hun, will see you later :)

cycles of purification

I have met myself many times

cling to the abstract thoughts ....

KATIE, buddy...this IS mY FAV....i reserve it ....

Lovely clashing thoughts and meaningful entries, shocking the reader as to HOW much honest I am with myself...??? AM i ?? Or Am I not??

THINK HARD......life is not play...it is LIFE...

Author Comment:

are we honest with ourselfs? most of the time maybe not.
we cling to our emotions, we don't use our higher thoughs enough. we don't sit still enough, or get enough fresh air, most of us don't eat right; but still we go on with fresh beliefes every day guided by faith, knowing the Love we yearn is jsut out of reach but is there none the less....
so maybe it is not so much 'are we honest' but do we have faith, I don't know hun, cause each is so different and all is connected by fragments until we are whole again.
take care today......have peace ~love and hugs ~katie

Pratibha

YES KATIE, lack of fresh food, fresh air, fresh thoughts make us think also slow...thoughts are not refined anymore...they r same old beliefs and stale thoughts as if they won;t leave this mind...how could they ? we r clinging onto them...

time to let go...u r right Katie...

hahaha, yes stale and old.
we do cling, and the worst thing is that society as a whole clings so we are all subject to the agony. We got to bind ourselves to higher feelings.
thanks Pratibha
Good morning to you, I hope it is pleasant where you are, it is very, very windy here. I don't like the wind so much lol
