TAPPING PEACE

 "TAPPING PEACE" Ann 11th June 2010.

(Inspired by something Anna said and Raven too)

 

What a simple sense of peace

resides behind, beyond this earth, 

this life, 

as if one tapped it now and then

and as one does all stress is calmed,

by knowledge of its worth.

 

Not any thing or person,

not any entity, 

more an expansion of the mind, 

the universe, 

its ever growing size, its movements, 

 

tapped in one small flash of knowing,

where the epitome, the saturation

of our thoughts is crystallised

as all the galactic stars and planets

roam the skies, 

some meet to part again, 

 

this life, we too partake,

what wonders wake as we realise, 

its powers, 

its magic qualities,

magnetic, grand and simply beautiful.

 

Polychromatic red shifts of constellations, 

fusing and confusing our consciousness 

in helium dreams,

to feel we touch one tiny glint of being part

of this great magnificent 'art',

the mother, that primeval egg 

its birth,

 

that has the form of such extremes,

contains the paradox of dark and light,

and tugs our brains to dream,

to dance,

to grasp its meaning, 

breathe its breath of peace and fire, 

sensational desire, 

personified in existence,

whole,

non-dual, but real.

 

**                **                 **             **

Red shifts= when stars come close to one another they 

change from red to blue, just the same effect as that of 

an automobile's passing by with its sound, it changes in 

tone as it passes.

 

The Primeval Egg theory= that once the whole universe was 

but a prick of an atom that expanded and expanded to what it is today. 

That puts things in perspective doesn't it?

The Big Bang Theory...

And all the other events you mention are something that man, in our time, will always ponder over. I love that there’s a vast Universe out there, but it can be too much to think about sometimes, especially with no real answers…Brilliant Ann. Xena
