“Yes, but – I am not here to play this part. I need to promote something more forward-thinking.”

All I Want To Do
I can feel the stirrings of other things that I used to be trying to reawaken, but it is as if they are buried underground and held down by coming winter.
Freeing them seems to require too much effort and my body is not currently up to shoveling.
Maybe they need to mulch-out a bit longer.
For now, I just want to focus on music.
I Do Funny Things
Like waddle the last foot toward my car with the flat of records to-be-sold clasped between my knees as I fumble for the keys to open the door.
Enigma Song Lyrics Reference
A question and an answer:
“A sentence in the Enigma song Rivers of Belief goes as follows:
‘And when the Lamb opened the seventh seal,
Silence covered the sky.’
There is a Biblical reference here. But I would like to know, what is the meaning of the line and what does the line imply?”
***
“The lines are an allusion to the Book of Revelations, more specifically the end of chapter 7 and the beginning of chapter 8:
[Chapter 7: 17] For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
[Chapter 8: 1] And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
[2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
[3] And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
(See BibleHub.com for alternative translations of Revelations 8:1.)
The song title “Rivers of Belief” refers to the role that rivers, sometimes sacred rivers, play in some religions. For example, Jesus was baptised in the river Jordan. For Hindus, the Ganges and the Yamuna are sacred rivers in India. While the song almost literally quotes the Bible, the line “I will return” can also be read as an allusion to reincarnation, which is a belief in Hinduism (among other religions).
The meaning of the seventh seal and the silence that follows its opening is a matter of Biblical hermeneutics. The Wikipedia article about the seven seals, for example, summarises five views: the preterist view, the historicist view, the futurist view, the idealist view and the Mormon view. The answers to the question In Revelation 8:1 does opening the seventh seal do anything? on Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange present an additional set of interpretations. It seems that the meaning of that line remains open to debate.”

Lost To Be Found
Belief was one thing that I had.
Did the Angels thus value me for it?
It must have served me well, though desired outcomes failed.
I still feel that all we wanted could have succeeded, had he and I collaborated.
But it couldn’t be helped when his intentions worked to counteract.
He just…didn’t want it.
“Safety In Numbers”
They say that “numbers don’t lie” – but of course, this depends upon who’s manufacturing them and who’s interpreting.
And are we adhering to a status quo, so that we do not draw any negative attention towards us?
When I seek for signs of guidance, I am really looking for my own internal paradigm’s reinforcement.
If the numbers only skew, I seek elsewhere for my truth’s adornment.

Meaning In The Madness
What should she focus on in this last day of the business week?
What was most important, and did any of it really matter?
There were so many choices – and she pushed against the threatening pressure to make space in her head for thinking clearly.
“Anything you do will be worthwile,” his lingering presence reassured her, as if he was there as her mental patchkit for accessing.
Had she become broken then, after all, as last night’s worrying while singing to a song had prompted?
If she willed her insides to become more still, maybe the right path would reveal its shining glory.

A Sweet Awakening
She was naturally resistant and proud, as if putting her psychic foot down firmly would help to reestablish sense of any solid ground.
He picked her spirit up gently to stand in front of him, waiting patiently for her “spine” to lengthen and her “legs” to reactivate energetically.
“Get your day going,” he softly encouraged her – and her consciousness was pulled forward from the night’s deep dreaming into the day’s tasks awaiting.
(Between The Shadows – Loreena McKennitt)
The Courtier
There was longing in his voice as he sighed out her name – and a question – as she turned away down the pathway to her car where she could see its outline dimly lit in the late evening shadows.
Or had it been a request, thinly disquised?
Yet, cloaked it had been, which she could not then be certain of his feelings for her, so she dared not reengage to embrace him and become entangled.

Haze
After the movie fades
Unsatisfying and discouraging
One wonders at the point of watching
When night’s already become early morning.
Perfection
Maybe “good enough” is actually enough.
Difficulty
I need to sell my old car to reduce bills, but I feel stuck in proceeding.
It was there for me through my attempts at recovering my life’s stream.
Adage
The masters often say that we stand in the way of our own solutions.
Yet, even they are still learning what it truly means to be human.
Congruency
The year things began to disolve in my marriage, crows and hawks nested on our property and had their babies – a sure sign of blessing and welcome from nature’s community for our family.
But when one partner of a pair welcomes signs of hope, joy, and confirmation of prosperity while the other for whatever reason turns away from such positivity, their bond becomes destined for separation.
In The Quiet
I think about certain opportunities and realize that time may be limited – therefore, I must make the best of them while I have gained access.
Discouragement
Much about this word tends to be attached to past associations, where a new opportunity meets some sort of reinforced bias.
Efforts
It is hard for me to say that mine are enough.

In The Wings
In my workouts, I keep focusimg on reactivating deep core attachment muscles (however I can reach them) and decompressimg my spinal column.
It is my hope that by continuing to do so, I will retighten my spinal ligaments and somehow realign my disks back into their “sockets.”

Agony
A form of it, having mopped and cleaned the back end of our house after two months of avoiding due to accident.
Today, I am paying for it with nerves flaring and tendons stick-twitching.
It might be worse, tomorrow., due to delayed effects as come with physical activity.
Nothin’ like being fried by synaptic overstim haze!

Wattle Ball
My neck’s structure is arced too anteriorly interiorly, which may be contributing to disk issues as pertains to my neuropathy.
Since I have not yet received adequate cooperation from care specialists to begin addressing this, it behooves me to attend to the region innovatively, yet cautiously.
Emulation
Projecting what it might be like, and then shifting behavior’s course to experience congruency.

Sequential Order
The doctor is waiting to investigate my neuropathy until the back injury is analyzed.
His reasoning is that the neck will remain malpositioned until the spine is stacked correctly.

Trusting The Process Of Alchemy
I had asked for “an intervention.”
You know, like praying.
Yet on the day of the accident, I felt extreme anxiety.
Smoke from fires in nearby regions was hazing the local atmosphere thick down to the ground, making it hard to breathe, think, or see clearly.
My parents had just bought me an airplane ticket to visit them and I was worried about the timing of leaving my family.
When we had lived on the mountain, isolation made fears like the potential of fire suddenly spreading a grim and desperate reality.
I was wrestling with the odds and felt picked upon by the smoke energy’s chaotic influences.
It felt like forces that were once trapped in time’s matrix had been suddenly released by the fire’s combustion of matter.
I could feel the energies running rampant, like some great beast swirling, greedy and hungry to influence and devour everything.
I had to leave the house to escape the psychic bombardment grappling at my psychology.
And thus, I inadvertently found where the energy was free-flowing, thinking that by going straight to my physical therapy appointment, I would be securing a “free pass” by clear intentioning.
But the beast caught me at a stoplight, where I was forced to stay still while the opposite flow of traffic began resuming.
At least I saw the car coming from behind about to hit me – and could jam on the brakes so that the impact would not hurt anyone in front of me.
But this camel got suddenly “pushed through the eye of a needle.”
Yeah, that’s me.
I always try to be an “acception to the rule.”
Now, I am back in the realm of the “In-Betweens.”
I have to laugh because revisiting here is becoming another thematic.
Maybe I should just stay here.
Stop struggling and aspiring.
The scenery is lovely and the people seem to be genuinely caring and receptive to my being friendly.
Meanwhile, I am gathering resources to rebuild my ship’s integrity.
But my body’s strength got left back there on the street’s pavement.
Maybe if I keep driving over the spot, my scattered pieces will return to me.
I can’t go backwards in time, and I can’t make any external commitments while I’m healing.
And I do not know what the future holds for me.
What Phoenix Fire of rejuvenation can redeem?
I am working on generating magnetism.
Dear Alex,
How do I become physically vital like you?
That’s just it, though.
It seems that I can’t.
My efforts keep getting thwarted.
And I am forced to diverge from course, again.
I keep having to self isolate.
Even as I reach for shared truths.
I find only my own limitations.
And a determination.
Unyielding, yet adaptive.
Are we anything alike?
I hoped to one day matter to you.
But I am only a bright star on your horizon.
Flickering and fading out of view.
