a voice out of this world
calls on our souls
not to wait any more
get ready to move
to the original home
calls on our souls
not to wait any more
get ready to move
to the original home
your real home
your real birth place
is up here with the heavens
let your soul take a flight
like a happy phoenix
your real birth place
is up here with the heavens
let your soul take a flight
like a happy phoenix
you've been tied up
your feet in the mud
your body roped to a log
break loose your ties
get ready for the final flight
your feet in the mud
your body roped to a log
break loose your ties
get ready for the final flight
make your last journey
from this strange world
soar for the heights
where there is no more
separation of you and your home
from this strange world
soar for the heights
where there is no more
separation of you and your home
A Second Set of Wings Appears (above)

God has created
your wings not to be dormant
as long as you are alive
you must try more and more
to use your wings to show you're alive
your wings not to be dormant
as long as you are alive
you must try more and more
to use your wings to show you're alive
these wings of yours
are filled with quests and hopes
if they are not used
they will wither away
they will soon decay
are filled with quests and hopes
if they are not used
they will wither away
they will soon decay
you may not like
what i'm going to tell you
you are stuck
now you must seek
nothing but the source

It is more and more RARE to find shells on this beach; and even MORE RARE
to find the WING or Buttely Shells....so imagine my absolute Delight to find two sets in one morning!
I had just finished a Sitting Still Time on the house steps in yesterday's post,...was feeling so Centered and Whole and Peaceful...Inner Asked:
"Is "it" Really this Simple...? Just to Sit Still can Clear all Chaos?"
Almost before the question finished, The Answer was at my feet...
my physical eyes were Drawn to the sand and yet
ANOTHER SET OF WINGS.
We had already chosen the Rumi poem below before sunrise,
but in sunrise moments had NOT consciously remembered this Rumi poem
we were so taken up in "one moment at a time"...

THESE WINGS OF YOURS
