THE QUICKENING

JOURNAL #34

beauty

is

the sound

of love

diving

into

the river

of

the spirit's rushing joy

and emerging

on the sunniest side of sorrow

victorious

for having won

the race

against

all the previous mental

infirmities of thought

once foisted upon it

by a mad, mad mind

once too anchored down

to the much too flawed

physical world

not totally unlike baptism

itself............................

how the soul grows and manages to escape or outwit the ego to grow even stronger into what is good, right and best for the now.
