I have a burden to fly.

Slowly retracting from the descending clinch of stress, we recall cacoon of womb–this shape around us telling us where we end…in mortal light’s dim referal, we can be happy to have landed in one of the universe’s soft spots, so gracefully held despite our gripping.

Cities are shining stories. People are uniquely shaped reflectors. I cannot say why we fragment, why we implode…so many pressures, forces unseen, within and witout.

I am a star, so I shine. It is my purpose to reflect His Patterns. A city is not unlike me-meant to reflect some composite, some nuance, some singular ray back to Him, so He can be thankful He shone. We dull ourselves too often. We mute being, and in doing so obscure His Reflection.

We are distinct. Land is not sea–distinction is His Essence.

We make homes to house our own stardom, the unique domain of our own density and velocity–we form the pleasant lines of our inheritance. Celestial homes for stars, for we need the sheer magnetism of our specific boundaries. We need to be framed in the sheer fabric of our own beings. It is not for us to worship one another, but to be illuminated into His Mapping of His own contours.

With origins, presents, and futures, it’s hard to say what we are, until we see, the entire story (of a person, city or nation). Wisdom hangs out at the cross roads for a reason.

Impossible to treat a single person in ease-ie, without perceiving the need of knowing the whole undertow of their story. Who am I to presume you are not much more than a blade of grass in wind.

You are seasons gathered in wrinkles across time into some composite of His Glory- a story He has been willing to tell from the start. And I am perceiving you. Who am I?

Culture collects itself in dynamism. It is the collective symbolic self.

When it codifies, it becomes an it–ink frozen on paper- and drifts away from itself. Meant to be one, many-nuanced, diademic poem of self as expression of God; but when it calcifies, breaks off (it as an it) is often idolized and becomes something outside of itself.

And yet, and yet, we are one, as He is one. A city is a poem, a culture, a novella–let us remain attached.

Sometimes, in time, He commences a funeral, so drifting aspects can return, and be reborn.

Icons fracture in the blaze of core identity.

Come home and burn, it seems to say to me; don’t project yourself onto others. It is finished. We are meant to be one. We are dynamic, and He is the Dynamism. Let us collect ourselves!

From here, i see whole cities turning in time. I want to kiss each one, until it spins on a dime and knows itself so purely that it enjoys itself with no ego. Instead, to see herself as God’s art. From here, i could meditate on one thing only: the center of this star, magnetically rotating, so brilliantly, as to attract the universe. Or even a single stranger. What’s possible! What would it look like if we were ourselves, truly shining?

And then a supermarket at night, another type, of beauty. Nothing less, somehow.

Words tumble, people no longer believe. The task is to tell past time what the stilts were, which held us suspended, or sustained. We went blind, several times as I see it, but what we wanted was for those words to come true, and cause our bones to come home.

Unsure still, we desired to continue, and this beckoning continued. Somewhere even beyond sound, we flared up like hope in a flask, we wanted again to be the melody.

Upshore, we sing, because we see. Upstairs, we call forth because we know. When I was young I looked up and beyond. As I joined my older self in looking, i am thankful for what was, and what is to come. Don’t wait to hope. It is true what you heard in the night. Don’t wait to latch on to your dream. This whisper is neverending. Believe.
