Sam, I'm in total agreement with you about the environment. Even if Christians believe they are going to Heaven, didn't God make the earth? It makes no sense to me at all allow global warming, the destruction of the rain forests, gross and rampant pollution, and extinction of species. I think God is furious that we are destroying his creations!!!
One of the things I discovered watching the PBS Frontline Jesus series, is that the messianic Jews believed that the world would end right after Jesus died. They waited and waited, and finally had to develop a mythology which allowed for a much longer time frame. Well, we are still waiting, but we've managed to destroy quite a bit in the meantime.
Hummingbird Heart
Gem jungles glow in eyes
Of malachite, topaz, obsidian while
Purring wings, in endless flight
Carry the vibrant heart to where it
Can sup from sacred flowers,
don masks of fur, of feathers
Tread the shaman's path
To inner jungles,
Slip the concealing mask over
Your face, cease to exist
In mundane realities,
Dance the Moonpaths
Lotus edged, as heart
Light guides you;
Travel in skins not your own
Yet knowledge makes them
Yours for future questioning;
Ocelot spirit, hummingbird heart
Mind like a river
Walk beneath the trees,
Liana caress, falling leaves
Dapple skinpelt in sunlight
Like water droplets falling
Through the emerald canopy,
Kneel, touch the Mother
With gentleness, walk her
Breast, light footed,
Learn how to have your
Heart Center light filled.
Know Oneness
Contemplate peace
Experience life
Be still ... |
