A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR THE ANCESTORS
SATURDAY APRIL 17, 2021
ONE TOUCH OF NATURE
MAKES THE WHOLE WORLD KIN.
-WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
How about a vegan feast supporting the lineage you possess. Like: a variety of berries, heads of romaine lettuce, spring radishes, pea shoot salad, herbed pink lentils with spinach, walnuts, peanuts, wholegrain croissants, quinoa with saute'd garlic & onion, sparking and still waters, white grape juice.
For nutrition see this blog 11/1/2019.
Today we celebrate the birth of Ancestors
that carry us forward, inside their bodies,
in their arms, on their backs, in their in attitudes,
we are made with their spirit.
Those who provide a way for us,
watch over us, tell us/show us
what to do and say and how to behave.
The success we have is theirs.
The beauty we obtain is theirs.
Those things that we know
is their knowledge, now.
Every aspect of our being is made possible
by the way they cherish us,
by the way they teach us,
by the way they encourage us.
We appreciate their presence
in our strength, hearts, minds, lives.
April 17, 2021 and every day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANCESTORS, I LOVE EACH ONE OF YOU!
In evolution there is often a missing link.
But you are not a missing link,
and I am not a missing link:
because we love each other.
the family ties, around at my back, serves me and ideas me for whatever I lack. Never a wrong that I won't correct, not always knowing but still allowed to interact. My voice is valued and my parent(als) know the same: I love them and without them I would not be: my name. As I create my life, I realize I represent them, realizing further that their legacy is mine to continue. Justice will present my case: me loving me is my family tribunal.
THAT ANCIENT ANCESTOR THAT ONE TRUE LINK
not the first but from whom so many flowed forth
we see you and love you we know your worth
we remember being with you making your choices
from before our birth
we as youth fondly remember
those moments of separation
those moments of standing by your side
we imagine ourselves peers
but we are clearly your little mignons
today we honor that which has sprung forward
that which has been enabled by the work that you
diligently forged in the fires of our environment
making the luxury, preparing the future wants
creating our imagination in your soul
we honor you who has made our lives choice
thank you for the material and the mind
we are trying to love you in the modern day
Moments of ASCENT
DESCENT into an abyss
all to myself
never thought I'd be alone
never had a moment
with out the sound
of beautiful parent
never knew the being
of on-my-own
Parent ever lasting
I laugh when I remember
us as one
so pleased to be your child
so wonderful to call you home.
floating in the atmosphere
I didn't know I was you
I didn't know the World was you
I didn't know my freshest ideas
were your mind working through me
one day I called for attention
I called in desperation
for the lack I wondered about
in broad daylight
parent gripped my body
spoke next to my ear
“you're the one I waited for
you're just becoming complete
you're the one I'm waiting to meet
you're the sunshine of the next World
you're the planets and the people of
every hope that has made me work
my efforts to separate have caused
me to wish to make a matryoska of you.”
there's a tube
I feel it follow me
it's like my shadow
always aware there
I don't even have to think
a little lamb's leash
wink and it will be
a bubble of fame
that knows all my names
and wishes I win every game
My idol
wondering what you do
mystery to me
totally known
riddle never solved
future of my World
holding my myths
and truthes untold
I want to absorb you
I want to separate
our souls
I want to catch you
as the wind does a kite
on a beach
in sunlight
MY FAMILY AND I ARE GETTING BETTER TOGETHER
off to the side
corner of my eye
comporting a choice
to follow its way
extending gifts
and parameters
making it possible
to live a life
(1) (P)
I was lounging in a way
waiting for the day
for you to become my own
parent, child
which one would I be
yours eternally
(2) (F)
I told you there was a riot
I was involved with it
you told me not to go
I went anyway
babies were made then
it was my destiny
I was formed into fire
it was the mutiny
but I never sought
to overthrow you
from the edge I
could see your face
fist pumping as you
rose above the flames
I traveled from within to
the outside in a flash
in joy I screamed your name
(3) (D)
I was wondering
where are you
going past me
I saw evidences of you
that's you
that star is you
I will go forward
glimmering you
reaching your eye
tender eyelashes
brush me into a separate
being born
I see you separate
I know you are
my parent
(4) (V)
I saw a flash of you
between sunsets
you opened my World
to a brilliant place
I had only heard
the hybrid sun
of many different
voices calling my
name: three
destination in one
me
(5) (M)
I have a fact
it's the way it makes me feel
distanced in your eye
my love
my other me
when
will I find you
gracious little catch
I already possess you
in my child's heart
(6) (E)
the holy one is my father
he is the one I want
to caress his cheek
to twine his beard
in my child's fingers
his work-worn hand
blesses my head
reminding me of the day
I was born
carrying his lineage
I know that I am
a sacred daughter
he is my god
a recipe for herbed pink lentils and spinach:
about ¼ c grapeseed or other oil
1 pint sliced mushrooms
fried in a large pot, cooled
layer in
1 c baby red lentils
3 c water
2 lb fresh baby spinach
bring to a simmer, simmer
12-15 minutes
serves 4
worshiping you in the vast
environment is my multiple
joy and reason you are my
beginning middle and end
little dish of development
constantly feeding that which came before
recipes from the crown of our heads
serving all the way to the floor
from our backs this offering is made
made of all we have inside
what we have to give is subjective
created from our lives
the tube is known as abrigina and doldra
chumline for their pleasure
cosmic tube is just one lymph line
of the urutu/elideo that makes
just off the body of the ancestor(s)
us able to prepare a bowl of power
for them to enjoy
the melange of the meal
they want to take
delicious or disaster for our own sake
we make the choices
for them who served us
now we serve
divot in the stream of consciousness
little dish of development
feed the way you want to live
make your body relevant
In evolution there is often a missing link.
But you are not a missing link, and I am not a missing link:
because we love each other.
