Are not the names of Arabian woman beautiful?

Beauty is a palette of many hues

I dance as I run, imbued by you.

The gorgeous dawn above your cheek,

glistens and falls from jaw line to speak.

A scurry of colours around time and panache,

burgundy worn and pistachio sash.

Derived from the sands of earth's oldest pain,

to drain and wash and wish again.

Creator if we had obeyed would you have shared

that knowledge of self and life prepared.

The answer is No and Maker knows best.

What's the point of obedience if there is no test.

I find myself remarkably buoyant

Exclaiming aloud and living defiant.

Blending the Nej'd and Nasrani like this

as we walk painting into the abyss.

Happy Birthday Patrick

Wonderful beautiful boy on a wonder filled be super day.

Keep your hands held high and your heart in your eyes.

And you will know destiny and more besides.

We love you.

A Monkey and an Elephant

Daddy, I want you to teach me how to draw an Elephant, asked Lauchlan.

How to create world peace

Everyone swap Ipods

Everyone dance

Everyone cook a meal for their neighbour and eat it with them.

Everyone weed a garden

Everyone run in the park with a child

Everyone stop and everyone rest

Everyone swap the driver position with their passenger

Everyone bathe

Everyone hug and everyone kiss

Everyone think about how they got here

Everyone smile

Everyone give a treasure away

Everyone do one humble act each day

E.....

So be it.

The Devil works his whispering ways

and children coughing seems worse these days.

Ignoble toes move over your door

and Fate's sweet face aches terrible sore.

Come what may shouts Destiny's whore

the gift of life, ground cover for war.

Pleasure begrudged like tincture of woe

ghosts waters so fey and turns them slow.

Joy is above the mind's undertow.

Laugh at the Devil and away he will go.

Pleasure is simple in the foothill of dreams.

So go to the mountain and the unlit scream.

Worldview

Dont hide behind counsellor speak. It is a denial of your emotional being. A distancing from the real. A device that you would not want used on yourself. A worldly innovation to control. A farce of psychological proportions. I hear hostility. I must advise. I have no connection to the pain. I am sanitary. I am counsellor. I am away from here.

Dont solve problems. That is rich world. Compartmentalising life. Sponging up the goo.

Pray. On all dimensions.

The truth of the new.

Have you noticed how good the first novel can be?

Raw as marrow, an impact, uplifting.

A warm bath of a tale. Time well spent.

Like the prayers of a new believer.

I heard the birds praising their creator this morning. So clear.

I whistled the same tune as I dressed my son.

I asked him if he heard the birds. He said Yes.

I asked him what they were saying. He said they were talking to the sun.

I gave him a hug.

Self determination comes as an assault

Giving away power to the new adult.

This causes conflicts, stumbling back with a jolt.

The new mare is standing no longer a colt.

Lies and doubts are seeded from power.

The status quo, the rule of the hour.

The taste of freedom can never be be sour.

So let go and embrace and live with no bower.
