The Language of the Trees Spoken through Crystalline sheaths Solar whispers sung around bark and brilliant dew Holy Hushed Hibernating Awaiting Awareness and Awakening After the long Season of Silence Are reverent Reversals revealed So... listen... Listen... They seem Now Not to Speak But in this Quiet The deepest Secrets may be gleaned Listen through your Eyes Hear the Particulate Poetics See through your Flesh The Primordial Patternings Taste with your entire Being That effervescent Dialect Ancient and ever-Renewed... A Story of Survival A Code of new Conduct A Harmonic ~ showing us the way to be truly Human This... the Language of the Trees.. Listen... oh Listen... Can you hear? The faintest whisper of the intention of the bud willing itself to open? ~ Adam Aaron Lodestone 04/02/2018

Quick swift nab of a thermal
fleeting dip flourish of a dive Against the slate sky recent wail of a storm, passed streams sunbeams reaching from the horizon at the last hour of day You capture my gaze my attention for hours, sometimes My thoughts upon the physics of you the motivations of you the essence of you the lessons of you Quiet in the air Squalling on the shore Alone among the waves One of many upon the beach Sharp turn Twisting into the wind Soaring off towards the northern islands I feel you as my familiar On lonely days at the shore. 5/10/2016 0 Comments fear and loathing?i do not give three shiny fucks
i gotta say that bigotry sucks if you come here to troll and cuss you can just get off my bus leave your hatred at the door i don't want to hear anymore i do not give fucks, one, two, or four if the bible tells you to stone that whore which it didn't, by the way Or did you miss what the Christ did say? let he who is without sin... and that rich man... Heaven?... He aint gettin' in face your fear and learn to love we "earn" salvation here, not above no, I do not give any fucks, not five nor eight if your heart is too closed not to hate I do give many fucks and care if you want to open your heart and share just what it is that you do fear so that healing can happen here if that is the case, come right on in and forget all this talk about punishment and sin ~ Adam 05/10/2016 I do declare that the saddest words in the world are "I am not worthy of the God's/the Lord's mercy/love/forgiveness" and "I am a miserable sinner".
To assume a posture that mistakes shame and humiliation for devotion and humility is perhaps the greatest and most sorrowful thing for me to witness in anyone. This is not about a Christian God, not about any particular religion or path. My view of the Divine is universally (literally) expansive and inclusive ~ all and any and no interpretations are all valid. But to see anyone cut them self off from the real inheritance of our beingness ~ which is that we are perfectly loved and perfectly related to at all times, in all circumstances ~ which is that we are not intended to crawl upon the floor in some ages-long pilgrimage of atonement for an original sin, but rather stand up in the beauty of the gift of our sovereignty as stewards of life here ~ to see anyone cutting themselves off from the heart of the law of all that is, which is mercy? Breaks my heart. No "God" with a capital G, no consciousness of love, would place a burden of blame upon His/Her/Their/Its children as if there were a broken contract... because... Love, that which is the "heart" of that Consciousness/of "God"? Never contracts. Only ever expands. The agreement is simply to be and to thrive according to the laws of harmony and love. To choose otherwise may indeed be the only "sin", using the word in its original intention: "to miss the mark". But there is no punishment and no retribution and there was nothing to ever redeem. Lies and manipulations. Our initial nature was perfect and perfect we remain. No-one is "fallen". Our only error is in paying a burden of sin to a "god" that cannot actually be the most perfect Divine Source... for the Source of perfect Love cannot be jealous, wages no wars, and demands no proof of allegiance nor faith. Worthy? We were created and we are born worthy. Is this hubris? No. It is our birthright and, if one can look through the hijacked writings of the scriptures of any or all faiths, we will see it and hear it. Being inherently worthy does not erase our morals or ethics. If anything, we become more moral, more ethical. For, in truth, we are born knowing (gnowing, if we are a gnostic) the way to BE, aligned with/serving life and love. Those who say we must not question the perfection of the creation? Why do they question THIS? Because of distortion. It is every distortion that is fed to us that causes us to stumble off of the path. The gnowing is that "God" does not, can not, will not ever demand of us that we prove ourselves. If some "God" does... perhaps we should question that. ~ Adam Photo Credit: Joanne Delabruere, 2011, Burlington Earth Clock, Burlington, VT 4/28/2016 0 Comments Innovate and Create New WaysYep.
