May 30 WHEN I LOOK AT HIM
Can I imagine him standing before me, speaking these words to me? He is gentle. His eyes hold concern for my hurts. His hand steadies and reassures my flagging spirit. He is humble. His gaze, his touch, show his respect for me, the time and space he wants to give me. And not only me. His arms open and I sense his love and reverence for all people—family, friends, those I find difficult to love. He pardons, he endures the night with me, he draws me out to embrace the world in which he lives. I chose this image to speak to the times I am travelling and unveiling at the moment. Skipping unknown waters rapidly yet relying so much on extraordinary and spontaneous forces. The sail is somewhat like a kite as in the Kite sailing Kitano Yacht, above. The wind blows relatively faster at high altitudes and thats the concept behind this yacht. The Kitano yacht benefits from the greater wind speeds found at higher altitudes, which raises the kite high enough to catch winds that might not even exist at the water level. I feel also that am forced to move high above known waters and that the destination is in some far off planned harbour of exotic appearance. Moreover, sailing in shallow water and littorals is possible without any risk, thanks to a hydraulically operated centerboard. Like the yacht, I too have to rely on the centerboard who is naturally geared to get me to my proposed destination. I have to trust powers both within and without. The course of life is been navigated with the experts. I pray and wish for a stright trouble free passage. As with the yacht which can accommodate up to 8 passengers in sumptuous luxury, I too plan to reap some luxuries. However, am prepared to endure the voyage in the company of the chosen. Loud and trivial egotists push me right off course at the moment. I have to trust my navigator and sense of discretionary purpose. Even the eco-lovers are going to love the Kitano yacht as its totally eco-friendly. Am hoping for a harmonious connection both within and outside my sphere of operation. In the meantime have to tolerate the HUGE UNKNOWN AND COST that comes with such a trip. Kite Sailing Kitano YachtMay 04 GOODBYESLEAVING
Shredded memories and
Trembling echoes
Resonate of times aglow
No more for now
Stumbling forward
Yet gliding backward
In a silent saturated frozen mist
Unknown silences behold for now
Anger and confusion
Humanwebs well known
Weaving pathways and hives
From the yesterdays known in the now
Unacceptable absences
Resonates with acceptance
Clouded with saturation
Seasoned with anticipation for now
Somber dirges digested
Calm winds blowing
Controlled tears flowing
Hearing eschewed just now
Reality too painful
For the youth endured
Spirit wrenching
Fists clenching right now
Kneading tomorrow's dough
Hands and hearts entrenched
Growing with the grain
Enough for now
Reaching to the future
Indelible footprints
Lights surrounding
Forgien yet not forgotten years
Sorry friends am struggling with my humanity....frail is but my name right now. Having had to be so brave with the Grim Reaper for the past few weeks...have had to let it flow so that I can grow more and frown less. I am hopeful because I believe there is a better place called Heaven. However, I am struggling with the suffering I am privy to especially my own. I guess all my losses are bubbling again. Bradley, I love you and I hope you are walking with us in this desert right now.
