WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BORN AGAIN?
There are births and there are births. The new self, the higher, deeper, other child within us, will emerge through time. We will be born again. What is less familiar in this idea is that we bear the inner being for each other, and carry it to term. The reborn man in me will reach his prime because you hold the knowledge of his worth within you, like a mother. And love comes down around us like a cloak, which drifts its silk across our folding arms. Under that cloak the new lives are formed which will bring heaven down to earth. Love’s exquisite touch and perfect charms ensure that this will happen.
The new-born baby is like a puzzle born in time. It’s as if the eternal has sold it to the earth so that it may bring back all the gold it’s able to find there. The gold of experience. Life is spent unearthing what selfhood can discover about its purpose, as if searching for its hidden rhyme. Gradually it becomes a story dipped in meaning, which can then be told. The deeper self, the inner being, is born again through grace. It is itself the rhyme and the answer to the riddle. In time it will redeem what was auctioned and spin the earth itself in gold, the truth to tell.
Charms
Each one of us is the child of time,
and we bear it to term for each other.
The reborn man in me will reach his prime,
your knowledge of his worth is the mother.
And love comes down around us like a cloak,
which drifts its silk across our folding arms.
While time gestates within us, new lives soak
in love’s exquisite touch and perfect charms.
Spin
The baby is a puzzle born in time
and sold by the eternal for earth’s gold.
A life is spent unearthing selfhood’s rhyme,
a story dipped in meaning and then told.
The deeper self is born again through grace,
and is the answered riddle, rhyming well.
In time he will redeem the auctioned place,
and spin the earth in gold, the truth to tell.
Best wishes, today,
