Epiphany 4 C
refugee's refuge
a prophet’s first work
is a revelation to self
primal distress abounds
attention must be paid
who am I - beloved - really
what is my authority - clarity - really
so many unresolvable doubts
so many predicable fears
identity is refuge
always available in a moment
have identity
will travel
prophets do not reveal G*D
already closer than breath
prophets do reveal distance
from intention to consequence
we hurt the ones we love
when in them we see our captivity
prophets only do their best
to work themselves out of a job
their responsibility is great
even though they cannot be responsible
simply being there and here
their reflective nature is easily dismissed
patiently they give themselves away
insistently they endure hope
all for a moment of insight
put into motion from then on
oh, I have been a child
it is time to be accountable
face to face reveals
the distance we have come
face to face reveals
the distance yet to go
face to face reveals
belovedness clearly
face to face
refugees heal

Fulfillment
today
fulfills the past
our infancy is revisable
fulfillment erases
all manner of memory
fulfillment displaces
any and all limits
There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face . . . for ever. [1984]

soma is enough
There's always soma to calm your anger, to reconcile you to your enemies, to make you patient and long-suffering. In the past you could only accomplish these things by making a great effort and after years of hard moral training. Now, you swallow two or three half-gramme tablets, and there you are. Anybody can be virtuous now. You can carry at least half your morality about in a bottle. Christianity without tears - that's what soma is." [Brave New World]
