Butterfly



Reaching for the everlasting is like trying to capture the light of a butterfly's wings. It can't be done with hands. It defies concepts, sensation - even imagination must plunge into silence. And the experience is like waking in the night, where your sleep is the tomb and centuries have passed. You wake to the one you love and immediately want to return to sleep again and uninterrupted union.

The world has hooks in you and your own body is world too. How can I escape except by chanting a spell or singing a long invocation? And then I see, in the space I have created with sound, that the butterfly's wings are my own - that they extend far into space and beat the cosmos into light.

  1. This unique perspective to the `second-coming' is intriguing for its suggestion; by accepting that the essence of `GOD' is with each and all of us, once we accept this universally to allow it to dominate over harbored and exercised feelings of `Evil', that will be the true re-manifestation of the `Christ' second coming, that profound moment of universal ascent to `love'. The antichrist being not an individual purveyor of all that is evil but, the growing manifestation of evil amongst all people - darkness consuming light that seems at work during this, our present time.
