Before Memory

Before memory,

before violence,

before the damage

and the line that separates,

before ancient stones

and walls beneath the sea

there was awareness

and the love of our ancestors

spoken from the mountain;

before the wave,

before forgetting,

a thin ray of light

awakening the sleep

that is not sleep,

the fold of forgiveness,

the beginning

of all that will remain.

    This is a wonderful reference to being at the edge between remembering and forgetting, from where creativity unfolds.

    I must remember to be grateful for my forgetfulness.

    From before” Birth to after Death” I remain! Call me by my true name.”I AM” speaks to us in human form. When the spirit of TRUTH comes upon us ALL things will be called to”REMEMBRANCE”
