Paths IA, iii

Become one with God in silence
   And the Light will forever shine
   To illumine each darkened day
   With knowledge of our gifts divine.
When immersed in His eternal presence
  The Life Immortal grows within,
      Opening formerly locked doors
      So as to view heaven’s stairway
      To existence forevermore.
   Love of God is the origin
Which sparks the needed diligence
   To find centered in His doctrine
   The divine flame which is our twin.

Children of the Sun IX
```
Mother Earth shared her concern
For the lonely existence
And wayward actions
Of her restless children
With the older members
Of her solar family

“After you begin”
```
    After you begin
Appreciating life
In its entirety,
People seem so busy
In their trivialities—
    Usually involving money.

Birthing III

We have returned to the crossroads
Only to find all signs point Home

Again the choice is ours to make
Of hoping the Child is stillborn
Further delaying our journey
As we spin faster and faster
On the merry-go-round of life

“Learning is quite simple”
```
Learning is quite simple—
When you
Slip through the reef
Of despair
And the barriers
Of fear.

Prairie Cleansing

Angers away  Eastward
             Floating
Heavy cluttered mind
Baggage cast aside
	
Lakes   mountains   trees
Gone        Forgotten
Blind traveling folded
Into Saskatchewan sun
Rising over fence lines
Touching blue domed sky

A Dream

I am with Child
I sense its presence
I feel its movement
I know its thoughts

Finally I understand
The Cosmic Child is within me
Restlessly waiting to be Birthed
Into the Light of a New Day

Paths IA, vii

At the river today we stand
   In newfound unity of life,
   Prepared to cross its rough waters,
   Leaving behind yin and yang’s strife
For Brahman’s universal hand.
   The initiates come ashore
      Greeted by the forces of Light
      And are given the Love scepter
      After Baptism’s holy right.
   The lessons of eternal splendor
Are taught by Masters from all lands
   To any ready to explore
   The Kingdom through Truth’s open door.

Children of the Sun VIII

Suddenly emboldened
By the right to deny
Their internal essence
They build institutions
To enhance existence
And begin to bask
In the addictive glow
Of a material comfort
Sustained for the greater
By the labor of the lesser
