Consciousness fields

The instinct of migrating birds
The collective subconscious dreamsource
The knowledge of Divine Essence
Come all from the same place...

It's like we live in idea fields connected by the interactions of dream bosons

The Girl in the Pink Floyd Shirt (fragment)

The girl in the Pink Floyd shirt twirled her long blonde hair around one and another finger and he noticed her as he put the biography of Yeats back on the shelf. She was folded into the overstuffed chair with her foot tucked under her knee, reading a book about the Gaia theory of life on Earth. He noticed the abandoned clog on the floor, the blue jeans worn at the knee with flowers drawn all over them, the loose fitting shirt and hair falling across her bosom and she looked up at him.
He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and gestured vaguely at her tee-shirt.

"So you like Dark Side of the Moon...? "
" No, I just like the image, the prism and colors."
"Oh okay... "

She stood up like she'd just remembered an appointment.
" See you around."

She left the book on the seat and walked past the counter, beaming a smile at the mother and baby coming in from the warm sunny day and almost danced out the door, like a butterfly that you will never see again.

Fragments

Haunted now, my
feelings uncontained
Seeking answers in the
deepest layers
Of my self-awareness
The knowledge of
another truth
Beating in my Purpose
Hopes dreams and love
Walking the earth in the
Form of love of you...

Sunshine

I live now for Sunshine
For warm gifts of starlight
To let the heat soak deep
Down into my bones

The Sun now is hidden
by rainfall and storm clouds
but still I see daylight
and know that it's there.
my faith is unshaken
I live in my purpose
to now and forever
belong to the Sun

And let the Sun's light live in me evermore
The Sun's heart and my heart are One.

Love Sonnet

I want to give you all my love and light
To let it rain upon you down as if
From every star there twinkling in the night
Did love fall down and give you now all gifts

To let the strongest tendrils of two hearts Grow and join together and make fit
For love's great power is that it never parts
But let love grow into the infinite

And widest scope two people may now find
To feed it sunshine, blossoms and starlight
To let our souls make love inside our minds
And let us see that nothing is so bright

As all the gifts of love that we could ever grow together
I want to share such love as this with you, now and forever...

The Goddess

A Goddess walks the earth in you
Knowing the truth of the earth
Loving her feet on its face
The joy of the wind playing
Tenderly with her hair
She laughs at the moon's
Shy or bold moods
And loves the solid
Strength of the sun
She walks in faith and knows
That soon the world will bring
What she dreams may come...

Encounter

The largest dogwood tree in the country is a half hour from my house. It was a beautiful late spring day in North Carolina. The blossoms had already fallen off the dogwoods but I wanted to go back to see the special tree.
It stands a stately watch over the Matthis Family Cemetery by a church near Clinton NC. I wanted to go commune with the holiness and ancient wisdom in it, to take a twig to pray by and pay my respects to the living and the dead in the place.
I parked by the road a hundred yards from the tree. There was a single mourner, a woman preparing to leave; the church was deserted. I got out of my car and waved goodbye to her and she left. I had the place in silence to myself.
I skirted the graveyard walking in that stiff, self conscious manner I adopt in such places and arrived at the plaque in front of it,  calling the tree the "largest known living dogwood in the USA"  certified thus in 1995,  31 feet tall and with a 48 foot branch spread.
I stood there feeling the silent electricity of the place.
To the left of the tree there's a fine little marble bench facing the largest part of the cemetery and I went over to read the inscription on it." Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings for our loved ones to shine down upon us to let us know they are happy."
I smiled and walked around the tree touching the bark and discovered a large cavity on the opposite side of the tree from the bench. Inside the cavity I found a geocache box. It had a notebook and a dozen tokens that people enjoy leaving in such things, but I had nothing to leave there.
I closed the box and walked away back to my car to find something, took a nickel from the dash and went back to put it in the box.
I was reaching into the tree to get the box when I saw it. Ten feet away on the bench there was something I hadn't seen the first time I looked at it. I went to pick it up and found it was a metal barrette or hairclip. It was dirty and rusty and I picked it up and rubbed the sand off it.
I am pretty sure it wasn't there before when I was looking much more closely at the bench and I am completely certain there was nobody else there to leave it when my back was turned.
It pleases me to think of a ghost little girl seeing I needed a token to leave in the box and putting it there for me to find, so that's what I did with it. I signed my twitter handle in the notebook and left the nickel and the clip inside. I embraced the tree, standing there for a long time listening to it and finally left the place, trying to figure out what just happened.
I will go back to speak with the spirit and see if the barrette is still there which I believe it not be. I think she ghost will take it back to give to someone else.
