Music, Sex and Poetry

I feel that what we are all looking for in the end is the sacred. What resonates with the sacred within us. Sacred love, sacred friendship, a sacred space and sacred words. Like vows. in a world which puts a price on anything, and on a marketplace where we are all reduced to the mean, it can, at times, become a desperate pursuit for a human soul to find something sacred. We are all in competition in the marketplace. It is purely survival of the fittest. Of course, in songs like John Lennon's "Imagine," we imagine a world in which each soul is free and love is the underlying truth. It would, of course, be great to live in a society which values each human soul for its special gifts. When I get out of the city and travel to a place in the desert where I find I am able to tune into my sacred self, everything takes on new meaning, and I take on a lightness of spirit. Soul connections, in terms of friendship and love, are the essence of human existence. The more I live, the less I'm willing to waste time with anything that does not have substance. I find I have a natural thirst for the sacred and the real. That which is unreal just seems to confuse me, and leave me feeling a sadness. The people who I have experienced who I would consider enlightened are people with an incredible consciousness. It seems each moment, each day, is sacred. Life takes on a whole other meaning. Of course our first sacred connection is to our parents. And this can be one of the most challenging relationships because it is unavoidable. And although I have rebelled against my parents many times, I also realize the profound gifts they have given me. As it has just been my birthday, I do consider this a sacred time. I consider it a power time for me. And you can only feel so much gratitutde for another chance at life. For me, nature is profoundly sacred. For me, nature opens doors. It heals and inspires. With Christmas coming up, it's a good time to ask "what is sacred" for you? On the marketplace it's a crazy time. We've got to buy more than we ever bought before, and eat and drink more than we ever have before. In some ways, this seems like madness because Christmas should be a time of really getting in touch with the sacred. So I'm thinking of trying to go on a journey through Christmas that would really get me in touch with that. I think I would simply just like to walk on the earth, and get in touch with all that is. Ya...maybe I'm gonna walk, and walk and walk this Crhistmas, and get in touch with my sacred self.
