To All You Who Have Been Wounded by…

the so called church, by religion, by those who take the Wonderful and Graceful Name of the Blessed God of Grace in vain, I am sorry…

Please do not hold the behavior of these Pharisees against the Father, and know that what this pic shows is anathema to Them!!

Kulani

lie quietly by my side
like a still lake.
My heart beats
on your heart
as we hold each other’s
breathing in our arms

It’s as simple as it can be.
I’ll leave the clothes off my words
and address you nakedly as anyone can

Each one was perfect–
that is what I want to say–
PERFECT
The perfection found
only in loving.

Do you understand?
It seems against everything we know and
It seems against everything we believe and
It is true.

To say “I love you” is a humiliation for
It is the Absolute Narrowing of Possibilities
And everyone, down to
the last one
Dreads it…and wants it…

For only in narrowing is found
Endless widening freedom.

Plunging, plunging with screaming speed,
Oh Eagle of Flame, Whose lidless eyes
Have looked into the Light behind the sun.

When all other creatures are blinded
You soar–and then–faster faster
With talons outspread–You plummet to earth.

To spit fire and speak
Speak of Her! Firebird–Flaming One
Give me words of purity!
