TORCH BEARERS


eye from the sky


“The Souls of people, on their way to Earth-life, pass through a room full of Lights; Each takes a Taper, often only a spark, to guide it in the dim country of this world. But some souls are rare fortune, are detained longer and have time to grab a handful of Tapers, which they weave into a Torch. These are the Torch-Bearers of humanity, its Poets, Seers, and Saints, who lead and lift the race out of darkness, towards the Light. They are the lawgivers and the Saviors, the Light-Bringers, Way Showers and Truth Tellers, and without them, Humanity would Loose its way in the Dark...”

~ Plato




Marque, recognizing the twinness of ourselves is, in some respects, contrary to and identical to the Christ teachings. The modern church teachings burden us with guilty elements that weigh down our spirits you know. But your poetry seems to divine your individual self from the web of religious perceptions. Am I on the right track, or way off base?

In respect to your comment about our youth culture there is the thin hope that their will be an awakening of fundamental truths, and people will taste the bitter fruit of trying to live in a perpetual motion of immaturity. Immaturity is the element of youth that was designed to stimulate growth. Youth becomes, at some point, contractions in a birthing process from innocence, physical strength, idealism, and high energy into maturity. Life was meant to evolve into depth.

Eldership is a complex process of simplicity going through a series of deaths towards the ascension of souls. I stress the plurality of souls because an Elder will deepen his/her life force in such a way that it benefits others making their journeys from immaturity into the depths of Life’s mystery, and passages into the Unknown.

The divinity of a moment of intimacy can expand life or plunge it deeply into the mysteries of beginnings. ~ Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories
