Here's a salutation to my fellow draftees who were sacrificed by evil for evil

"Lord, save me, for I perish."  — Saint Peter

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower

Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees

Is my destroyer.

And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose

My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.

The force that drives the water through the rocks

Drives my red blood; that dries the mouthing streams

Turns mine to wax.

And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins

How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks.

The hand that whirls the water in the pool

Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind

Hauls my shroud sail.

And I am dumb to tell the hanging man

How of my clay is made the hangman's lime.

The lips of time leech to the fountain head;

Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood

Shall calm her sores.

And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind

How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.

And I am dumb to tell the lover's tomb

How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm.

                                       — Dylan Thomas

At the round earth's imagined corners, blow

Your trumpets, Angels, and arise, arise

From death, you numberless infinities

Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go,

All whom the flood did, and fire shall o'erthrow,

All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies,

Despair, law, chance, hath slain, and you whose eyes,

Shall behold God, and never taste death's woe.

But let them sleep, Lord, and me mourn a space,

For, if above all these, my sins abound,

'Tis late to ask abundance of thy grace,

When we are there; here on this lowly ground,

Teach me how to repent; for that's as good

As if thou hadst seal'd my pardon, with thy blood.

                                             — John Donne

See I am God.

See I am in all things.

See I do all things.

See I never lift my hands off my own works, nor ever shall, without end.

See I lead every thing to the end I ordained for it from without beginning with the same might, wisdom, and love that I made it.

How should anything be amiss?

Prayer for a dead loved one

May my love be the sheaths

That now surround you,

Cooling all fever,

Warming all coldness,

Interwoven with sacrifice.

Live, upheld by love,

Light-endowed, upward!

                  Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner:  "Failure to recognize the Christ Spirit in all things means seeing them from the aspect of death, whereas finding the Christ in them means understanding them from the vantage point of life."

At-one-ment

Washed in the Blood of the Lamb are We

Awash in a Sonburst Sea

You—Love—and I—Love—and Love Divine:

We are the Trinity

You—Love—and I—We are One-Two-Three

Twining Eternally

Two—Yes—and One—Yes—and also Three:

One Dual Trinity
