Always: Dad
A good father is worth all the gold in Egypt
womb light of memory fills the room
always in the belly of the beast
there was my dad
somehow understanding
he wouldn’t miss it for the world
no matter the obstacle
he was there
always knowing what to sayand how to listen
how to love
how to inspire his son to forever fight
these the last visits we would have
he told me about a Spanish song
a man in prison is set to be hanged
there is a bell that must ring first
when the time comes for the hanging
the bell refuses to ring
and they cannot hang the man
as they are letting him go
his mom falls from the bell
where she stopped it from ringing
he runs to her
saying
momma you didn’t have to do that
to which she replies
yes I didbecause love goes all the way
love is a force of exponential effects
enacted by imperfect vesselsundergoing individual alchemies
perfected by the process
to be forever in togethernessbeyond even our conceptualizations
across thresholds beyond what we can behold
tinges of twilight upon consciousness
the eyes caress observations
of dreamy music
worlds inside of worlds
time ceases to exist when I think of you
drawing me in interconnectedness and connection
dimension beyond dimension
empowerment and protection
shining aligning elements of ascension
empowerment and protectiondimension beyond dimension
drawing me in interconnectedness and connection
time ceases to exist when I think of you***

Another great piece inspired by Josh’s work.
I’m digging that story (song) with the bell told by your father. Those parables or lessons tend to take on deeper meanings as we grow old. The wisdom of the ages is passed down in time.
Amazing stuff sir.
