1 draft for s speech, several emotional discharges, and some poetry crafts.
1. The light of dawn, after the night. Arahman, eraheem. How did God treat Muhamad, who did God choose for a messenger? Everything in the alameen is an ayat. 1st word: Express (show) reveal (proclaim, rehearse, read, recite). Lord and Cherisher. How generous? How important? Took us from a clot of blood. a clot of blood. imagine a booger. How complex are the eyes? The muscles, tendons, bones, even bones with their blood and minerals. in constant motion, exchange, repair and replenishment? This is our Rabb. Al Kareem. Muscle, blood, bones, we were a clot of blood, now we have families, love, companionship. and what can we create? when we put a bandaid on, who clots our blood? when we plant a seed, who grows the tree? when we breathe, who puts the oxygen in our blood? when we want to work, who puts the sun in the sky? When we want to read, who moves the light rays through the air? who causes the beat of our hearts? how generous is our sustainer? Rabbil allameen. Al Kareem. no matter your skin color, your family name, your order of birth, your gender, your religion, your morals, your appearance, your habits, we were all a clot of blood. what has happened to us? what was given to that clot of blood? what anatomical wonders grew manifested from within and around that clot, nutrients and protiens and minerals and fats, and water and elements and molecules drawn together and we grew as it would look like from within, from the sustainer. Furthermore, we are more then flesh, we can speak, write, symbolize, communicate, express. one clot of blood which bloomed, which manifested, which blossomed, which grew into a human. Has powerfull thoughts, emotions, and feeling ideas, questions, habits, hopes, love, hate, countless inner experiences which we can freely share. or try to share. with others. How much has been lent to a clot of blood? that was once almost nothing? Furthermore we can question, we can read, we can research, we can ponder, we can meditate, we can see, we can realize, we can have an active inquisitive open mind that will grow and grow with new understandings. There is no limit to the ocean into which we can expand. So what is the importance of daowa? all that i have described, this is a mercy from our sustainer and replenisher, the creator, the maintainer, the cherisher. is us, coming into existence, and being maintained in existence- to qualify how Generous this is, is uncomparable, because everysingle measurment we can dream of: health;
2. The First TIme
i ever thought about death
i did not know upon which I thought
or so to say, I felt a vision
I no longer see, and so,
do not think I thought
of death, but i did
I saw my mother so sincere, she lead
me down the hallway near
to her coatsleeve I held her fingers or
just walked in the breeze turning
my head to look at rollable beds
and rooms with seafoam curtains
uncle aemens room was crowded
not uncomfortably, but sincerely occupied.
Most people looked at him as he lay
covers pulled up over his chest
his face oddly yellow, was it the light?
it didn't look right, kid of clamy. Mother
held onto dad's tweed sleeve coat and
cried. I tried to understand.
everyone is standing here. and
then aunty Margret took me to the
garden. Its better here I guess.
The yellow sun shines on the grass
and the poplar leaves block it from my
eyes. They wave against the blue sky.
3.
From the highland boulders
little thrushes flit and settle
Jesus told parables of little birds finding seeds
I feel acceptance on this highland trail
when I see the thrushes
Like friendship, family, free of judgment.
and the ocean
far below
plowing into sandstone
crashing and blue
it's so huge
and it accepts me to
its free of judgment to.
notes:
contrast the little birds, symbolic of being taken care of, with the ocean huge, does it love me to?
The birds seem so consoling, the boulders and blue sky and tough grass playing into the emotion.
The ocean far away, a whole cliff face below. A small mountain( once a giant mountain) eroded (by glaciers), rounded over with forest.
The waves, not ocean rollers, well they are, but they are so far away they look like refraction demonstrations, except they turn white. The opposing wall of red conglomorate rock, untouchable.
Little birds coming so close, an intimate trust.
Its this taoist
wu
that hugs me
stands beside me
pats my back
and rubs it slowly
4.
A bench where I can sit and rest
and feel the morning sun. It shines
through a rowan tree and warms
this morning corner, a bench and a small
bush on a chiped out corner of a block.
Stop and enjoy the moments that the sun
feels warm, because the cool autumn breeze
makes you want to go home. Look at that
disheveled plant by the cross walk sign,
it has one yellow flower, i think the bush is
a chamomile, one yellow flower in its design.
As cool as the wind is, on the back of your
neck and turning over dead dry leaves, it doesn't
look cool as it rustles the sunlight in the rowan
tree by the eaves. The cool cloud moving north covers
the sun, then it reveals how warm the yellow is
by its absence. Then it comes onto the skin
when the wind stops, when it begins
warmness or coolness sets in
and when the sun lustres, or when it is covered
warmness or coolness begins.
The absence of presence of God in my mind
impacts peace perserverance and contentment
how much I went with or against my right will
influences the feelings I get on this bench which
with or without me has shade and stilness and wind
and sunshine.
notes: reality is reality, our lives are our lives, challenges and blessings happen to us all. contentment is a matter of a) how much we follow our best intentions and ethics, and b) how much we are mindfull of God*
*an uncomprehendable concept, that can be understood through a veil. Is the earth the coalition of space, dust, and gravity? Does emotion exist as tangibly as a cat? Be thankful to the source, compassion has existence, compassion has an originator and sustainer, compassion has an eternal abode.
sub-note: Molecules are subject to the gravitational pull of black holes, compassion is beyond this. Which begs the question, are negative emotions, greed jealousy and bigotry infallible as well? I know they are not, so the question is what is the difference between positive and negative emotions?
7.
an unexaustible source of learning
our comunity is
but the only concerns of the common man
is his
please God let me open my eyes
and see
a sliver of symbolic truth
surrounding me.
Protect me from greed and from fallacy
and live in all sense of these words
truly honestly
10.
love
is possible
close those crosshatched scars
growth has replaced the wounds
even though memories are not as real
as flesh, which makes them more
real for growth of flesh can replace them.
But new love is possible
close the memories and lingering hearts
they aren't people, they're empty cupords
we're moving.
Their hopes and dreams couldn't be.

Mary Pratt
the substance of light
is held only by keen eyes
not made keen by practice or
made keen by the sharp glory
of the light
through the glas
holding liquid.
made keen by the pathways and arrows of Gods
own mastery. Don't even think
of how it works.
-Blue walls bounding out gamma ray jube jubes (to bad there aren't and real words for color)
- A mirror, an distinguishable surface, witchcraft, its floating is not liquid nor ice, is held in the homes of the rich, its for kings its for sorcery it's
glass.
-and hard cutting clear glass cradles gold liquid.
-parabolas of fury
neat and crisp
delinieated
lightning showers
encrusted with gems
like the space between feathers
shimmer on the rose wood vaneer
-some cray orange painting
bordered with black under red
the brush left him near
-a train of smoke explodes at the station
the density of dreams
that hang in our living rooms
is to thick for the smokes complete divination
so instead of piercing like an arrow
it peels off the arrow like the waves
off the labrador and the petals off moss
adrift in the wind
-The skin color of eyes
