The Inferno

By Jonathan Duran 2002

Reach in deep
Beyond the mystery of the soul
To a place that is always there ...
That everlasting ember and flame

At times it seems to fade
Even disappear
But the essense of self
Lasts forever
And ever ...

So be still
Listen for what is real
And breathe your life
Into the cosmos
For in many ways
We are like the mighty Phoenix
We live and die our experiences
And we can be reborn
At any given moment

Pain, passion, love, destruction
Burn in our hearts
Unable to escape ...
It becomes our choice to live it ... for real

And in the end ...
We can only truly be our own personal mystery

My Testimonials

April 2, 2007
Fire

Stars burn bright in the sky at night
Souls ablaze, energies full of light
Temptation gives rise to bliss
Desires yearning for that first kiss
Fantasies bloom where love and passion reside
Boundaries melt, there’s nowhere to hide
Flirty exchanges, delicious banter
Reeled in knowing we are each others enchanter
Hours pass as conversation flows
Skin glistens, desire grows
Souls travel to exchange in real time
Feelings of trusting are truly sublime
Mutual respect, endearing adoration
There is no way to resist this temptation
We are spirit, we are fire, we are full of light
Stars burn for us so full and bright in the sky at night

about me
Harmony, balance, hosho, the Yin Yang concept, Dualism .... all pointing to the essence of divinity through the fluctuation of opposites settling into stasis. So many questions arise when committing to anything ... and in the questions, I believe divinity lies.

Ever since I can remember, I have been living the question through my desire to experience truth/authenticity, love and a fulfillment that is not easily defined. In this quest, I have found myself navigating within the light and dark sides of things, a true yin yang experience. In this, I have been learning more about what it means to choose my path instead of blindly shuffling on to a distant Oz. Never knowing the outcome, my uncertain choices have become my mile markers on this path of life I follow. And on this journey, true individuality and self-expression, my ultimate goals, have given this experience brilliant color and flavor that I can finally appreciate and ultimately smile.

With this almost riddle of a background, I've got a simple desire to co-create a more balanced world with like-minded people who believe that one-by-one, we can influence the energy around us and shift that which is or was into completely new possibilities. In other words, just by imagining something different, I believe we are making things happen. We are the creators! And I believe that we have a responsibility to use our talents for the betterment of the global community - and that is ALL races, religions, sexual preferences, philosophies, ages, level of education, etc. If we don't choose our gifts as vehicles for service, then what do we have to show for our personal and collective evolution?

I am a writer, painter, drummer, philosopher, trickster and a fool. I do my best to use my talents to inspire and create. By no means do I feel I’m anywhere close to being perfect. But I am pretty good at being me, which is changing and evolving at every instance.

in the quiet still
calm
a heart so full
can be heard beating
as if almost fluttering
like a butterfly caressing the breeze

in these seemingly empty moments
time only stands still for love
and the true power felt
by her divine and knowing touch

for love can come easy
to those who have the courage
to believe

so, all hail the lovers!
the soul warriors!

let us rest our weary heads
on love's divine breast
and breathe her mystery in deep
for love will ... read more

Lyrics for "There Is A Light" by the Smiths

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is suc... read more

I don't expect for Rhett to be reading this for a while, but I felt compelled to write it. I asked Spirit for permission and it felt like it would be healing for both of us. I hope it's okay, Rhett. Just know that it is in the best intention I could come up with.

Please read on if you feel led to do so.

Miraculously, I was listening to a compilation cd that a friend lent me as I was working, and all of a sudden I heard a Smiths song (Rhett's favorite band). It immediately sent chills do... read more
