When biking to work this morning I saw two significant fresh feathers lying on the sidewalk where I bicycled. One in the beginning of my tour and the second when I was in the city blocks. When I passed the second one I thought of you Tommy and felt you prescence.

When I returned home, one feather was still there but after all these hours a bit thorn.

The Dream catcher n:o 1 has moved in to our new outdoor room.

Did you have a hand in creating your new outdoor room?  I still carpenter a little but am losing my hand and arm strength over the years.  Can you post a flick of your room?  t

what makes a fire sacred?
what makes anything sacred?
wat is sacred?

what is the point of meeting in a magical ceremony?
why do you want to come?

soon your life will be over,
and you will go like the hordes before you...
what was the point of it all?
did you make a difference?

fire is burning passion
fire is consummation
fire is the passage into spirit
fire consumes the physical and turns it into ash and smoke.
fire is life
fire is death
why do we sit around the fire?

there is a field, and in the centre a fire,
that is the fire of our clan
we are nomads in spirit
we are beings of the fire
we declare allegiance to no one
but the fire

what is your life?
is it struggle?
is it comfort?
is it fretting?
for objects just out of touch?

before enlightenment washing bowls - and after?
is that it?
washing bowls?

the fire is end of all our squabbles
the fire is the hope of every seeker
the fire of our clan is the covenant of audacity
the fire is the passageway to our forgotten dreams
the fire is our last chance
the fire is you

i cannot give you eternity
i can't give it to myself
you must come to the fire for that
and i also.
we can meet there
alone,
and together
there is no other way

neither you nor i can cross the bridge of inner fire
to eternal awareness
that is a gift
but we can throw ourselves into the fire
into every moment of our precious disdained life
that is the fire to which we come
the fire of our clan

i say offer everything!
your pride
your guilt
your skill
your love
your memories
your cowardice
your impotence
your last throw

we have nothing else left

make it count!
