If I had grown up
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
―C.S. Lewis
Tortured hollows, twisted, coloured and soaked –
Of fragrant laughing reveries, they speak,
Watching as ancestors’ advice is mocked,
And radiant long paths ahead seem bleak.
If I had grown up, certainly of this
Pure, barefaced joy – I would have no inkling
Wandering in societal norms’ abyss
Predestined to watch hopeful souls wrinkling.
Remorseless time must I hold in hard ice
To linger behind captive in this world
Where hearts’ choices – deep and true have no price
And remain young in memories unfurled.
Truly, if I had grown up, and age gained
My young heart of feathers must I have chained.
“When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the…

I collectfragmentsof myself
and place them in my heart,
Reclaiming lost parts.
Waiting, longing, hoping
for a shadow of myself
To come to life.
The past evades me,
the present scares me,
The future’s faith washes over me.
I bathe in the salt water,
an embryo forming into a new sense of self.
I return again and again and again in many formless forms,
And float off in free abandonment.

Days Are Not So Dreary Now
BowmanAuthor and Writer/Editor
Days are not so dreary now.
Dare we hope for a new tomorrow?
Another day that teaches us how
To live, love, express our sorrow
For what we have all been through.
How has the Pandemic affected you?
No one was left unscathed.
We all knew hardship and pain.
Our lives were interrupted with waves
Of loss, confusion, fear, blame
When there was no enemy to stand up to.
How can we ever know who?
So, we must be strong.
We must never look back.
Somehow, we’ll get past the wrongs
And find the courage we lack.
The virus still thrives.
How do we go on with our lives?
We move forward as we have always done.
We pray to our Deity as in the past when we have won!
–Deborah A. Bowman

Strength Surfaces in Times of Unheaval. Be the Catalyst!
BowmanAuthor and Writer/Editor
Dare to be more each day!
Sometimes we have to go to the depths of despair to find the core of our being. This has been just such a year for everyone on a global scale. We have to regroup and become the CATALYST!
How do we go on? By believing in each other!
Dwelling on the past, however, has never helped anyone. The future cannot change, redeem, or soften the past. It is what it is, and we all must accept it. Acceptance, though, is not in hiding from the past, but rather in learning from the past. That is how all of us, one at a time, can look to a greater tomorrow. One small act of kindness is the CATALYST!
Everyone was touched by the virus. We have all looked death in the eye and watched strong, remarkable people succumb to its ghastly demise: wives, husbands, lovers…

Decision Point
Food for thought.
With our permission
We have a decision
What will we do for our future
Regarding our Earthly environment
Despoiling without real discernment
There’ll be nothing left for us to suture

Nostalgia (poem)
I miss the squeak of marker pens,
Just as the prophets said I would;
When small, controlled, of freedom dreaming,
I cheered for life and called it good;
When all around me, foes and friends,
Offended by improvement, and,
In league with time, then loyal seeming,
Still for a boundless future planned.

Christian Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic
Sometimes people have to be confronted by something terribly bad. At regular intervals, certain people come to struggle terribly and have to learn by a hard lesson, being pulled down by an accident or serious disease.
Several people at a certain moment in their life got struck. Suddenly they become confronted by a longer period that they can not do the things they normally do. During that time of not doing anything, they are given time to think about the past but also the future. Then they can take time to meditate and to really start to reevaluate the value of things.
Before they got sick or bounded to the bed by their sickness or paralysation, they can have the film of their life repeated over and over again for days. At that time they have hours and days to think about all those things that kept them busy. Then they also realize that they had and still have so many dreams that they’ve had over the years and projects that they wanted to do.
From people who previously had serious accidents and diseases, we do know several people came in confrontation with the matter of a godhead, and started examining the Scriptures, coming to one conclusion, that there is Only One True Divine God, the Elohim Hashem Jehovah, Who is a loving God and not a cruel Being that would have His children being tortured or being burned forever.
It is then for them the time to recognise how so many churches or denomination lied to their flock and used fear to master them.The devil, being spoken of in the Bible, is any or every adversary who walks on this planet. For sure there are many adversaries of God too, who would love people not to believe in the Divine Creator or have them keeping to the many false teachings, human traditions and heathen festivals.
But it are the real lovers of God who in such difficult times should show how they know for sure Who is behind everything and Who can be the helping hand in times of problems but also be a Guide in times when everything seems alright.
These days when there is a virus making many victims, those real followers of the son of God, should show the world how God has given the world a saviour and mediator, who paid the ransom for all the faults we as human beings have done.
Now is the time that all real lovers of God can show the world Who That real God is and how we as united lovers of God are not afraid of what comes upon this world but are willing to unite in prayer to protect all those around us, believers and unbelievers.
In the article of Janisha Jacobs, affectionately known as “Keela“,, the greatest hope is expressed that during this crisis more people will be drawn closer to Christ, the son of God. We only can hope and pray that more people shall come to see that in this time of fear there will be no other choice but for our faith to increase and to join hands spiritually. That in this time of not knowing what tomorrow holds we will learn to let God worry about tomorrow and focus on getting through today, with the knowledge that there shall come even worse days and even a more severe battle, with the third World War or Armageddon. Therefore we can look at this pandemic as a rehearsal for what still has to come and to make us stronger to be prepared for what is still to come.
Let us, therefore, pray not to false gods, like some many have taken themselves false gods, but learn also others to pray to the God Jesus also prayed too, namely his heavenly Father (and not himself) the One and Only True God, the Elohim Hashem Jehovah.*
To remember
- facing global Pandemic of Covid-19 virus #CoronaVirus.
- enough news surrounding panic > All across the world right now persons are facing panic, trauma & a lot of uncertainty because of the effects of Covid-19.
- Persons afraid, lost loved ones, + wondering if they will be next.
- China, Italy, America, UK, etc. > unimaginable crisis.
- biggest question right now = “when will it end?”
- for the church = also the question of “how do we react?”
- to get us to close down churches > building =/= church
- people = church
- via Zoom = enjoyable + more intimate than “pulpit and pew”
- try + prevent spreading virus => stay home
- response/reaction to world crisis & pandemic = faith, wisdom, compassion, forward thinking, leadership + most importantly prayer.

As most of you know, we have all been facing the global Pandemic of the Covid-19 virus #CoronaVirus. Initially I had no intentions of blogging about it, figuring that there is enough news surrounding the panic and I didn’t want to be one more person adding fuel on an already blazing fire. But, if you read my latest post you know by now that I decided to change my mind
All across the world right now persons are facing panic, trauma and a lot of uncertainty because of the effects of Covid-19. Persons are afraid, many have lost loved ones, some may not even know if their loved ones are still alive in places like Italy, some persons are sick and many others are wondering if they will be next. And all of these emotions and feelings are completely understandable but so very heartbreaking.

Kismet
Even when clothed in the bright
colours of a peacock’s feathers….
the light plays games when it peaks
through dry dead branches as it chases
the darkness into the shadows
And time passes so differently here
….it beckons to the future
….and veils the past
……a future … a hope
……. a kismet to last

2020 presents itself as a new year and a new decade
Every year when one year comes to an end and a new one presents itself people remind themself to reflect on the past year and take stock. It allows them to review their goals for the year and ask themself a few questions.
‘How am I doing? Who am I becoming? If I stay on this present track, will I accomplish my goals?
It is also the time to reflect on how we could cope with situations but also with other people. We take a look at our relationships and analyse them. You could ask:
Am I an asset? Do I add to the lives around me? Am I ‘swift to hear, slow to speak’?
A new year allows time to flash back and gives people an inkling of the changes they may need to make in the future.
How many put into practice the plans that will ensure their goals are accomplished?
When you look at people, how many do not continue on the very same path, even when they made so many nice promises at the change of year.
Perhaps it will not be bad to not only set some goals but also to take certain steps in order to claim victory.
It would not be bad to Write down the goals and to place them in a very visible place.
It also would not be bad to speak about your desires and goals with the Most High Elohim. Surrender them to The Almighty God, allowing Him to do the best for us.
Make a commitment to the goals before the Lord and to an accountability partner. Most often when we expressed our intentions at the beginning of the year, later on we do not repeat them to others. Often we forget them ourself. By not remembering what we promised or by not thinking of those promises we give ourself a way out. Everyday we have to cope with other confrontations and as such life is not always as easy as we would love it to be. On the days, when we don’t feel like going on; when we want to give up, then it is a good moment to be reminded of the reasons we chose those goals at the beginning of the year in the first place. We want to be encouraged to keep reaching toward that prize. At such moments of discouragements prayer should be the first on your doorstep to welcome.
Hope – History the proof that humans have the capacity to make their hopes come true
History is the proof that if humans have the audacity to hope they also have the capacity to make their hopes come true.
Almost all the people who were responsible for a breakthrough were once labelled insane because they believed in something considered to be impossible. Our world is a materialistic sphere which encourages actions rather than speculations because guesswork cannot pay bills.
Every discovery starts with a wild conjecture which receives more criticism rather than appreciation. It’s not an easy task to implement something which lies on the spectrum of so-called impossibility. But even in a world like this, there are some people who would choose to be a dreamer rather than a skeptic realist; I am one of them. I believe there’s only a thin line of skepticism between possibility and impossibility which can be erased with hope; where there’s hope there’s a possibility.
If our ancestors hadn’t…

The Forgotten
The future will kiss
Our shadows as if it knew
The things that we had chosen
And all the things that we had forgotten,
It will stare back as if
We were a part of all to come
The things that we had seen
And everything that we had prophesied,
But we are the lost
The souls who burned on Hell’s cold fields
And left the lessons buried there,
The future will still close
It’s cold unempathetic eye
It’s vengeful ghost still chained against
The cliffs we fought so hard to tame,
The laughter rings like rain
Upon the boxes we built as defence
Which wall out the moments frozen
To stop them scratching out our eyes,
The future will still blow
It’s kisses downwind to hide its fear
And all the things that we had chosen
For we are the forgotten.

We should all be writing
In this present world lots of short notices or messages are posted on social media, but to find serious writing on the net has become limited.
There is a serious need for analysing what happens in the world. We could do with some more bloggers recording for history what is going on and how we feel about it. Analyses of people giving an idea how a culture experiences the events.
It is for any person impossible to know what future shall bring, but by the knowledge of what happened in the past people can have an idea how things can evolve.
For sure all people should try to work for a better future and if they do not fix the disinformation problem, the divide will only widen.
You have very good reasons to point to Nazi Germany, because many factors are pointing that direction, and people could be surprised it can be as bad as then sooner than people think.

‘recording’ history =/= ‘rewriting’ history.
current problem = large number of people been brainwashed by lies + who think they are informed.

Be the scribe. Record your experiences. Tell history the facts.

We need to be recording for history what is going on and how we feel about it.
They say that history is written by the winners. I don’t agree. I believe history is written by those who have the most to gain by revising history.
There is a difference between ‘recording’ history and ‘rewriting’ history. We are seeing this happening in 2017. There are those in public life who don’t seem to understand that technology makes it easy to find the videos from the past that document a statement. You can try to deny that you said something but someone will find that video and publish it to prove you are lying.
The current problem is not just the lying about the past, even the recent past. What is most…

“It’s amazing how a little

– John Guare
Leap
I do hope the author of the nice blog Reflections on Existence does not mind having my mind having gone wild by the dramatic photo on her site, bringing up a lot of thoughts in my whirling head. Often having to go over the edge, seeing many people not knowing where to jump over the stones lying on their path to somewhere in the future, I wondered.
Many may
skip and plummet into the void
Chasing the edge of an
Our lives are not agonizingly static, stationary bike
Tires ceaselessly, maddeningly, spinning
Going nowhere. {When Words Fail}
Many roads in this world may be full of pitfalls and weeds growing everywhere. It looks like many do not want to go in the woods any more because it looking to dark for them and to much overgrown.
People have become afraid of taking risks or to show their inner being, letting know others what they really think or how they really feel. Lots of people do think they have to go with the mainstream and have to be popular, following the popularism of the present society where some politicians try to bring fear over the population, to enlarge their power and to exclude others to enjoy some of the welfare they might have.
Instead of trying to build up their own strongly funded future, many do hope others can do such building for them. Though those do not create the good pastures and many of those politicians have planted harmful weeds in the fields, infecting the wild and domestic horses. As such them jumping over the wild waters will not always bring them in the safe fields or bring them to good grassland.
Let us hope more people will have their eyes opened, not blinded by the low hanging sun of misleading politicians. That they take the risk jumping over the wild streams, daring to hang over the now and then, the between here and there containing all the risk
man could ever bear but has to do it for his own security and better life.
It is in the silent breaths between the lines we craft,
The mysterious space where words fail,
That our deepest truths are told, {When Words Fail}
that we may recover our deepest self and become pure again by a brighter light than the human being ever can present, making the grass grow and giving oxygen to the world, us being free again to run wild and to enjoy the life Allah has in mind for us, where all overs of God can be together in peaceful surroundings, giving each-other energy and hope to continue spreading the Good News of a coming Kingdom that shall be better than any human kingdom or republic.
Let us therefore look for words that may bring our heart to life, stirring our depths, carrying on the whisper of our clean breath. {read: Bread}
