yesterday's news today..

Posted on Jul 23rd, 2009 by siafu   : si@fu siafu
 

yesterday's news gave my

world a new and different hue..


finding out one has

a life-threatening illness

is at once depressing,

monumentally frightening,

yet, curiously, uplifting..

(nailing one's colours firmly

to the mast..)


the dignity and precariousness

of our feeble yet impeccable grasp

on this dream called ‘life'

manifests most strongly..


this crazy, inexplicable world

replete as it is, daily,

with all manner of human tragedy..


I have so many great role models

to emulate in this dicey dance against

annihilation..


I cannot except feel humbled and grateful

for the life I have had..


I vow, now, to take on this uninvited beast of

a circumstance in my life

and provide it with a merry challenge

and fight - for the joy that courses within me..


so many reasons to rail against the

corporeal dis-ease

with the brilliance of positive energy

that fuels the bones of conscience

that is mine and yours,

and our shared victory

‘gainst the manner and precipitation

of truth and reality

that would have it o'erwise..


with bows and resolution.

Becoming fully mature, embarking upon passing through the myterious door, our ultimate letting go. Sometimes I wonder if all of experiences are to prepare us for this. I feel like our experience is what we are here for, what we are gathering.
Love,
Jeannie

Anthony - Siafu,

Sitting here in silence staring at the screen, reflecting on the words you just shared through your powerful poetry,  I realize somehow….somewhere I knew… I sensed….
Strange? No not really ….it lies within the nature of oneness….and there it is also where our healing lies in whatever form or shape.

I sit with you in the silence of  prayer that unfolds itself as a quiet opening into the heart of hearts forever opening, forever expanding unto love.

Nail your colour firmly to the mast and let the winds of spirit sail you fiercly through this storm.

Much love,
Lucienne

Power to you Anthony.
Prayers of presence and the blessings of the eternal “now”;
to live each moment as it comes and goes, as you do!

Only the brave, such as yourself, step up with poetry so as to never say good- bye.
Thanks
Take Care
