world

It is very late, and the arena where mind, body and soul fight daily is littered with the debris of battles - some won, some lost, some left until tomorrow. Birds have long sung the last note to the sun, and called their young home, and as I prepare to settle into my own nest, their feathery dreams soon come to an end before mine begin.

My body is tired, but my spirit clings to some half formed ideas, and mind to some unfinished business that really some higher part of me knows is not that important in the great scheme of things (assuming there is such a thing as a great scheme?). Sage fills my room with its peaceful smoke, and another thought flits across my inner vision like gossamer wings of butterflies, that I must harvest more for this peace. Mixed emotions tumble and rise and fall over faces, people, places, past and present, and these things weary my eyes from the horizons of tomorrow. Cliches of wisdom are left hanging in the air, like spiritual carrots dangling on a string called 'hope'. I berate myself for a cynical view of the things I have at times been so grateful for, and those cliches that have got me up off the floor, and kept me walking. A blessing for every one that walked me from despair. Maybe its time to sit with elders again, and listen to the words that are after all, like the first born, closest to spirit.

Morphius comes smiling at this stubborn child who has always riled against sleep! There is so much to do and think about, and well .... isn't sleep an interference with more important things? Why do we sleep? One of the great mysteries to me ....and dreams.. why do we dream at all ... You see!! How can sleep be so demanding when such great questions need answers! Wish dreams could be like menus, and orders placed before eyes close and the dust of ether falls from the keeper of the sleep. I would order tonight an hour of eating chocolate (which must be the only way to keep slim), perhaps another hour of discussion with my spirit teacher (and my friend for many years now), a tour of the nearest galaxy perhaps, a quick look at the pyramids, or perhaps a visit to Delphi... so much to choose from .. great menu though

Nos da (goodnight) good hearts .... may you dream great dreams also ......
