Ponderings....

This calm morning as I was thinking about what moving on with life and utilizing action to a degree I have never known before means, I wrote this...



On the lazy path he calls intention creeps and old man 
who's back is soar from being unused. It is a long path 
who's obstacles and hurtles are too much for him to 
bear. He walks around them rather than surmount and 
exert life which he has not. He drinks from the stream 
which is nearest to him, rather than drink of the pure 
water which flows in the river along the path of action. 


He dies a lonely death.


What is beautiful though, is that the benefit 
of action smiles on anyone who is willing to 
vier off another path and walk it's loam. It 
surely will breath new life into whomever 
leaves his mark upon it's dust. For its vivifying 
waters are verily the fountain of youth
How long have so many wondered, searched, 
schemed and killed to find this spout bubbling 
from what they knew not came from the wellspring 
of exertion of pure and holy intent

You see, true intention is not a path, but 
rather stops along the way on the 
path of action, break points where 
one must access the value of their 
journey, eat their fill of the meal 
of motivation and purpose, only to 
utilize the energy gained from their 
contemplation to continue to set 
out on the path which is life indeed! 
All other paths, like the one our old 
man creeps along, are just marks 
between blades of grass which have 
been made by others in the past who 
have fallen off of the path of action.



It can be said, in my humble estimation, that walking any action, if spurred by motivation to perform an attribute of God, is the only thing that will bring more holy action. We continue to progress if we perform these. Performing them is the only way to “have” them. For what is a loving man if he sits alone and shows no love to himself by conversing with others, or show them love by the same action?

Verily action is the tree of true freedom if its roots are planted firm in the soil of the love of the Blessed Beauty.

Well... time to get to work!!

Praise and thanksgiving be unto Thee.
