PrefaceThis collection of poetry was written roughly between 2005 and 2010. I have put the book together in a way that is enjoyable one poem at a time or also as a whole. The poems are arranged by subject within the chapters, but they are also arranged from beginning to end to reflect a journey. This journey moves through darkness to light, with romance, anger, and sex in the middle. Be warned, it gets a bit graphic towards the end of the second chapter, but all within the beauty o...

A short poem is a drop of the divine, a brief, brilliant flash. An emotion surges, you create an image, and the jewel is born, plucked out of thought-flow, rubbed and polished to its innate glow. Haiku is like that. Intrinsically beautiful! Some see the beauty and others do not. Moreover, poetry is a personal experience. Theres no saying what will touch the heart, the senses, the brain, and why. Haiku and Other Micropoetry would appeal to many people who have had idyllic childhoods in a wo...

Gratitude is like a gate to a magnificent garden. It is like an arbor that has morning glories and beautiful flowers all over it. It is that beautiful idyllic sense, with blue birds chirping. And this is how gratitude looks in nature. As we approach the gate to the garden, we are totally filled. We need nothing else to bring us joy, just our gratitude for life and being. Gratitude, by Elizabeth Clare Prophet…opens the way for the beautiful sense of the Eternal in action.

Bring joy to your life, joy to your plants, joy to your goldfish. Be a dispenser of joy. And when people see you coming, they'll say, "Why, the sun just came out. The sun came into my room." And that will be the truth because joy is the sun of your heart. Joy, by Elizabeth Clare Prophet…is something precious that is without price, for it comes directly from the heart.

And yes, this cloth are many stars.She, watching the painting, can see them spread before her, but she of the picture does not see these stars and she treads on the starry cloth. His cloth. His dreamed cloth. For he dreams this cloth, and she treads on his dreams and she does not tread lightly but tramples these stars with unseeing feet. His stars, his desire. S...

The old Greek saying Gnothi seauton, know thyself, is a fine piece of advice, and self-knowledge is absolutely necessary to any candidate for progress. And yet we must beware lest our necessary self-examination should degenerate into morbid introspection, as it often does with some of the best of our students...-Charles Webster Leadbeater was an influential member of the Theosophical Society, author on occult subjects and co-initiator with J. I. Wedgwood of the Liberal Catholic Chu...
