"The Turn of the Burn"

"The turn of the burn
The desire of the fire
The quieting of the dinn within"

My favorite burn was the last sunset burn, the people thinned out, the noise lessened. The rise of the sun symbolizing the tie in between the fire and the return of the day, symbolizing our own return to that other world we came from. Remind me of the things I wish to let go of, the things I could not let go of, and the things I wish to hold near and dear, the greatest of these being my 6 year old daughter Madeleine Claire. Ray and the Fern Grotto, they are like each other. They are both a place of peace and quiet love, unspoken yet felt. I wish to become this.
" A quiet place of love, unspoken yet felt"

To move forward with quiet strength, undeterred by the small minds of those who seek only to gain that which they can quantify, that which they can see and hold in their hand, that which when shared is gone. No love sought in this exchange, no understanding expected or given by these people. Their judgements are their electric fences shocking those who cross their boundaries and doing so without change. Returning to their status quo. Their song being, Yo Yo Yo, you're not my bro, cause you threaten my STATUS QUO. Their motto like some others is Don't Tread on Me. I wonder if India has a motto, is it a foreboding one, or one of open acceptance. Gotta go now, hope I see you all in the future. My love to all of you from Element 11.

Father Thairesius (aka Christopher)

Father T, thank you for sharing with the tribe and thank you for making the effort to come play with us. I know things are tough right now and burn was just what the doctor ordered! I love you.

Reading your Blog, and knowing that my most blessed event mirrors your own, (our daughters), makes me ever more (if possible) appreciative of the special privilege of sharing friendships and life with you and the ilk of my A+ and her husband.
One of the turning points in my life was holding my daughters mothers hands as she went through the birthing process. What Joy,Fear, concern at this most important event in my life. Words will never provide the means for expressing the love transition of those moments.
Thanks for your thoughtful BLog and for sharing your friendship.
