Passing on Lies

I don’t usually put too much description on my work but today I feel so impassioned about perception in my life.
My own garden is my feeling place where I can learn to trust that we are indeed born from Love, all of us.

HOWEVER… as I have awoken my sisters and brothers with my longing, I am given a gift today … By Lisa Jewell
I have called her work written long before this one; the crystal clear sing song notion to my pondering.

Glass Whispers
___

sideward whispers are distorted

travelling from the mouth of the whisperer

to the ear of the one that waits; fingers crossed

translating a brand new entity

born inside an hour glass of want

Passing on Lies belongs to the following groups:

"Poetry and Beautiful Women" , THE DIVINE FEMININE, THE SISTERHOOD, Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom! and Writing: Persuing Happiness

There is a softening that surrounds us and a promise

Through silence is made. Two pinky fingers entwined we

Expressed our wills were our own, but the opening in our

Hearts felt like relief from a long winter stay. The pantry

Needs more olives and oil. The budding branches some

Focused attention.

I have lived for years with your future. I placed it by my own.

Seeded with primrose lips and kisses that breath in longing

We see the eye of the beholder in each other. Sometimes a

Need to wrestle on the floor on a big antique bear rug

Takes the pain of not knowing away

where play seems like

The Realized text of Psalms 23.6:

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever

My Source, My Lord, My Well Being.. We share this in the discomfort of the ‘not knowing’… Why are you here? Why do I love you so?
Why are you not my perfect preview to lover’s fate?

You are afraid to trade souls you said, but you would never lose your essence, I promised.

It is only my desire that we can ‘walk in another’s shoes’ just for a moment so that one can feel the truth.

Perception the deceiver of this lifetime honing in on all that we assimilate and amalgamate in privacy, we ponder; Do I ‘know’ him/her?. Daily it grinds us down into believing we know anything about each other.

lies.

Tis a trap door that passes round the room a whisper, “He is… She is… I know just listen”
And the end result?
Scares me sometimes.
For it is not me! You passed along lies!
Listen this is not me
But I know you did not, lie, no not at all… I know you did not.

It is the passing and the box of the passing that distorts the truth.
It must be enough to know that “We are born of Love”, all of us.
If we stay within our own garden and find bits and pieces of each other in the dirt, that massive black soil which is our desire. We can grow together, we can. But until then I will make a promise with our pinkys entwined,
my best days will always be in trusting
“Our Divine”.

    Absolutely beautiful writing Lj, deep understanding of Self, heart melting feelings. You’re so right: how can we better “know” others than knowing ourselves (Bible is yet to be proven wrong). An infinity knowing other infinities… in the end, to the core of what matters, we are all the same. Love be always yours, V.

    Plenty to think about lina…......i hope a truth can be trusted enough to let a spirit fly….:) x

  • linaji replied

    the truth rests in …for me… how I feel..and why not, if I want my life to express more of the concept of what I desire, do I not take the mo’ to think thoughts that serve us both. And how do i know the thoughts I am thinking serve us both? Cause there is not a bit of guilt nor remorse nor anger nor loss nor.. and if I can’t think thoughts that serve our well being..
    It is as mum said:
    If you don’t have anything nice to say Lina
    Don’t say anything at all!!

    OMG< LIna. This so speaks to me. What a provocative work. The line “I have lived for years with your future. I placed it by my own.”

    Circles back to certain truths: what we feel with our bodues: pinkeys entwined. Outstanding.

    What a gorgeous thought Lina. I did have a funny visual for some reason. I imagined a garden of flowers with all of our heads as the actual flower attached to the stems. LOL.

    Gorgeous, thought-provoking write. I love when you write.

  • linaji replied

    Oh Cass.. I have asked Patricia to make the pinky swear.. I would love to see the heads in our garden.. you just fill me up darling.. I can feel your vibe all the way here!!! Your such a fine artist Love… a nice positive garden with our friends as flowers.. uuuuuhhhhhhh that gets me right ‘here’!!! xxxxxxxxxOOO)

    Do you watch the show “Lie to Me” with Tim Roth (at least i think that’s his name), well it’s full of interesting facts about lying including the fact that we all do it. When i was first with this guy, things were going brilliantly until i discovered this huge lie he had told me – it throws you for a sixer!
    Great poem!!

  • linaji replied

    No I have not Marion ..but now you have me curious so I shall.. I can get television on my computer even if I do not own a tellie…xxxx I am sure it is much better to discover sooner than later incompatible gleanings.. however it sure can hurt.. deeply. xoxoxo

    Wisdom and a gentle beauty is woven into your words, it assists the reader in absorbing your loving meaning.

    I’m bouncing up and down in my chair as a thought came to mind, I wrote this very short piece.
    You and I my yin and yang that fits wonderfully, I absolutely love your message of love existing in its pure form in the beginning and it in the translation and movement that is can be distorted. My little piece was an attempt at looking at how love in transit can be born into something very new the moment it reaches you. I’m sorry I’m rambling.

    a superb piece my darling it has the bees buzzing in my brain xoxoxoxo

    Oh my, this is so beautiful. I love the part where pinkies entwined. This is trust in the Lord and being born out of love. But of course, there will be lies in life, but truth will always win. Iris

    I wanted to come back to this when I was in better space to take it in, I was not yesterday. There is so much tender exploration in here, and what is truth and what is lie? Does anybody lie intentionally? I have been wondering this thing, it is slippery. What we pass on in heart-intent, that is a desire for the other to grow and be happy and for us to have a chance to express this desire which is itself reward.

    I had thought I told the truth one day and the next day realized maybe I lied but only because the river has moved. Hegel said every philosopher told the truth at the time he spoke it, and yet time moved on, looking back we laugh at what one thought true yesterday, we scorn it. Even if that person gave their all.

    It is a strange thing, but I am reminded of the Pearl Jam lyrics to Nothingman

    She once believed
    in every story he had to tell
    One day she stiffened
    Took the other side
    Empty stares
    from each corner of a shared prison cell
    One just escapes
    One’s left inside the well.

    And he forgets
    Will be destined to Remember…

    Nothingman.
    Isn’t it Somethin’?

    Sometimes, even arrows bend and it is not the fault of the one who fires them. One only does his or her best, to love with the exact measure of his life’s bow. But as with all stories, and “all life’s a story” is the biggest Story and takes a while to digest, there is one aspect that believes the story but moves on, and another aspect that is stuck in it, and cannot move on. I fear if there were none of this tension, Life would be formless and blissful, but no one would be around to sing about it in such a sweet voice which turns sour in memory.

  • linaji replied

    One day to the next is always interesting. What I find as my truth and the best truth I can find is not in trying to figure out the ‘other’ if they are saying a lie or not but to how I am feeling. I believe you correct when you say at the moment of everything, even the greatest lie told with heart is the truth of and in that moment. For it is only the next moment when the vibration or the fixated view of the one or the other takes form that differs from the moment before is the lie then born.
    It is the passing and the box of the passing that distorts the truth

    That is what I meant to say here about the only way to find relief in a world full of seeming ‘lies’ is to stay in ones own garden and choose to perceive life as one would desire it.
    If we stay within our own garden and find bits and pieces of each other in the dirt, that massive black soil which is our desire. We can grow together, we can

    However sometimes it feels like the turning of the soil with all those faces of our beloved takes some doing. There is much to consider when our bent of nature is revealing again and again a certain result as we allow our desires for the moment to continue to take precedent over our continued experienced results. We may want to examine our part in our lives exclusively. For me, I find that if I immediately take responsibility for all my life .. even thought sometimes I would like to no do so, I am given time to sort this stuff out and I am finding it is easier to forgive myself than it is to forgive another.
    hence the last line and the pinky swear..
    But until then I will make a promise with our pinkys entwined,
    my best days will always be in trusting
    “Our Divine”

    For it is only through Source’s Eyes and Heart that I can find my way to make sense of all that I am becoming much to quick, for this slow pace of time and space.

  • jim marshal

    I like it.

    Only our own garden makes sense, is true? If we take truth/blasphemy “out there” even a solid truth is not as solid as a half-truth in our own garden?

    In our own desire orchard, things grow that nourish us, sometimes others faces appear in the soil. What are they Lina? Like the luminous dust that comes off a sparkler, the give away of a person, that which is meant to inhabit other lands? What of this stuff of other that grows in my garden? Where did it come from? Does it belong to me or to its source in other? How do I even know the difference?

    You dont have to answer, maybe I shall ask and answer myself.

  • linaji replied

    (the third time is the charm)

    you see when you say stuff like you don’t have to answer.. well.. why does that feel not so good to me? of course you and I always are the answer to everything because no matter what one says to the other, one will either take it as so or not.. it is your garden… it is your sparkle to perceive..
    The quiet deception. is perception.. You are creator..if you like to feel that magic is crawling in over your fence and you have no control of that weed, so be it..it is your own story line to love or hate. But for me I like to know I am creator and that magic is at my every turn. That is my story. I just do’t ask the question anymore since I found out I really am creator as to why why why do I have this or that happening to me all the time, I know why.. my own focus/vibration makes it so.
    Everything is luminous dust.. you are the illuminate.. you are creator. ... desire as you once reminded me is the call of our life force. So it is with we artist.. habitual in ways that feel so damn good. To be loved.. not exclusive to artists but who dares but the artist to make a product for the mass consumption that is truly our own blood, so we get mighty touchy about our hearts..

    I just didnt want to overdose you with questions. Ok, well I get what you are saying though I dont think I have em-bodied it yet. I am actually looking forward to receiving your tapes as I think I will receive it in my own way but that I have difficulty perceiving my Joy sometimes, where it resides. I think its valuable to start with the small things, like going for a walk or eating an ice cream, anything that gives a little joy must somehow relate to the big Joy that I feel sometimes I forget or has gone missing.

  • linaji replied

    correct in every sense .. as soon as my Mac is returned you will get them.. My baby holds all my life in her belly.. and I know the stuff is saved on an external hard drive but they are having a hella time getting her to accept the old stuff.. she feels so new.. I am understanding how she feels.
