Lyn


Lyn

Cheerful..
That one word
seems as our Lyn..
Children and teachers
were infected on those
many schooldays..
And his friends
always seemed warmed
by an uplifting cheer..
His face shone brightly
even on those days
when his own pain
called into question
the clear notes we heard..
There must have been
a permanent flame
deep within..which
 always stood ready
to ignite our own flames
filling our lives
with gratitude for his...

the fractal vibration


this formula
you may recognize 
is the classic fractal formula..
the equal sign is not an equal sign
but a symbol pointing two ways..
the intention is an infinite calculation 
and feedback..a vibration really
within the formula which
we might say is one name of
infinite consciousness..

this is mandelbrot's discovery
not an invention but a discovery
of what has always been..
in the '70's the advent of the
digital computer has allowed
the visualization of the patterns of
 path-formulas of infinite variation
which all of us might discover
on the computer we are using
in this moment..

with this preparation
we might consider that our
thoughts and perceptions
are the fractal vibrations
within consciousness and
made of consciousness..
it is the consciousness fractal
appearing as the world
and the itch in our knee
apparently all separated until
we remember that formula of 
 fractal vibration...

curtains


curtains

the curtain torn
is the light exposed..
as centurions all
we carry dark curtains
concealing our light..
exposure might come
with shock and awe
or right now
in a quiet pause...

(ref:  Matthew 27)

What is Dark Matter?














dark matter makes up the difference
say scientists in their determinations
of the extra mass needed to keep
the universe accelerating..
there is a dark matter signature
which has been applied
and has become an assumption
until now..!
one galaxy in their observation has
elected not to play..
and a paradox stands in the way
of their comfortable assumption..
perhaps we need to ask:
what is dark matter..?
we might speculate:
dark matter is not matter
but a field..an infinite field
which molds itself from time to time
to appear as a galaxy in motion
to the scientist observing
and startled by dark matter disguises...!


"Paradoxically, the absence of dark matter in this particular stellar conglomerate also suggests that dark matter does, in fact, exist."  Check out this link:

FB comment by Bernardo Kastrup:

"In theories proposing alternatives to dark matter, such as modifications to our understanding of gravity, whatever is mimicking the dark matter signature is not something that can be turned on or off—it should always be there. So, van Dokkum says, “by not detecting the dark matter, we actually prove it’s real.”"

The Centurion's Path



The Centurion's Path

The centurion noticed..
terror opened the curtain
the curtain which covered
the knowing of his own
true self..
A rock splitting event
or tomb opening
to a new openness
directly experienced
on this terrifying day...
~~CC


Matthew 27:50-53

50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last.  51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. 54 Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”

deleted words


deleted words

you might notice 
the following blank lines
in which several words 
are now deleted..
perhaps..


or words
 in this space
were never written 
perhaps..
nevertheless
the space
expresses the only
surety we can know..
it indefinitely flows
and enlarges into
wide margins we notice..
the space has retained 
the secret of words
which did or did
not play..
and the words
if they played
day or night  
 played as space
eternally white...

Exile
















  1. EXILE

    is closely experienced
    as discomfort
    of a separated mind
    a wish for home..
    a feeling of restriction
    a curtailment of freedom
    which is lifted
    with momentary arrivings
    but reinstated as shadow
    as exile resumes..
    exile is "quiet desperation" *
    an expression of
    dissatisfaction of the present
    and continued searching 
    for echoes of happiness...

    *Henry David Thoreau

    Voyagers discover that the world can never be larger than the person that is in the world; but it is impossible to foresee this, it is impossible to be warned. 
    James Baldwin (1924-1987) African-American writer.
