"Siren" Calling

Re-Charting: Sacred Backdrops

Orange layers painting as backdrop; 
   hung colors of sacred rite like of wet towels.
Tonight I saw a "devotional dance," linage of Odissi,
   busy as a performance; more like entertainment via dance.
With finesse written intro; bragging rights and all the info

   and prayers no where to be found.

Even sacred adornments worn as in performance 

   were immediately advertised and sold; astound.

This invocation to Lord Shiva 

   treated like the diva of the divine.

Sacred mudras were said to be shown.

Photos taking prohibited; so consecration weren't blown.

But I couldn't help myself leaving the blessed

   by documenting devoties ignoring their own message;

   sanctification has been tested, admiration renounced.

They sneaked photos and videos as part their own undertaking;

   an invocation of what I've recorded as Rupia's raking.

Even if we make pole dancing sacred,

   so no one would feel guilty for going half naked.

At least we would not have to fake it; knowing

   every creation and expression is divine.

We just need to remind ourselves of devotion

   a one person engagement; barely works with weddings of two.

Symbol of devotion, an abstract of the mind; made to enable self.

Truly a sacred blessing for all and Godly if the community now felt.

Wanting control or to design mysticism

   might just end up in karmic of self criticisms.

Spirituality will be the last thing the mind control;

soon we will realize to just live life and feel bold.

Why I know this to be true?

That Shiva was unhappy about this

performance was announced not finished; jammed up by music disc.

Apologies were even made... sacredness "felt" untrue; worst yet explained.
finds this Om Sherif uninspired; alluding performances with fading rhymes.

Cook with Love, Eat with Love....

From the garden to the table

....

Today's Thanks

Home of sacredness

This body support life's intent 

leaves; me in balance

Charting Two: Flame is the first metaphor

Flame is one of the oldest metaphor; if not the first. The word "flame" in definition is metaphoric in itself. We alluded this word with passion, love and/or faith in god. These are all meta-ideals of ourselves; therefore, metaphorically, we are that flame.

In my reflections and meditation of this metaphor, "the flame," one often allude to the light; to see darkness that surround it and/or shed light on the matter. I have found this not to be true! It is not the dark the flame want to seek and fill with light, rather the flame want to fill the space with the warmth that radiates, even if light cannot be found.

I see so i can feel! Feeling is still the first purpose of light; or in this case, feeling of warmth from the flame.

Charting One: Source of creations

In the past couple of days of full moon I have been to a three ceremonies which open my eyes to the source of creations. The metas are made very clear both in the known and unknown; the reality and myth, as well as, the self and the universe. 

Although the "Shiva Linga" ceremony was not made clear to me in the literal sense (including the name); but in my findings after the experience and the poem was written based my reflections, how uniquely in parallel the poem was to the mythology of it… and of course it would!

Source of Creations Xfrasis

At the source of all creations

there is a symbol; an offering

for the divine

WE, You and I

adorned it; a soft glow

encompasses the universe

form one absolute totality;

     a true essence that brings unity

by acceptance of being.

it is the most creative endeavors;
     full of imagination without fears

we bathed it in the milk of life

decorate it with the blossoms from mother earth 

sprinkle it with rice and delicate intentions.

share fire with it and bless it in water

sing, praise and dance with it

it heals; creates selfless love with others

accepting all of Universe as a divine being

all part of the natural balance 

in harmonious state of existence; perfections.

WE, You and I

share the same equality of its creations

that why it's call the source.
