Dare to Take Root

By Jean-Jacques de Chazal

These short and pertinent writings are really an invitation to reason, relate, maybe debate but certainly at the core of it all an invitation to love.
Not the Hippie love, not the Hollywood love, not the love that we were brought up to believe, but rather the love we lack. That is the main thread in this tapestry of
reflected realities.

*************************

Too many times men

Build temples around

Observations and speculations

Displaying poor understanding

Unto the altar of exclusivity

And superiority

As astounding as this foolishness may be

It seems to be a habit inherent to human nature.

The natural man therefore

Is in desperate need to understand that Humility is lacking within his make up

As he entertains his arrogance

Upon which stands his marvel

At the works of his intellectual hands.

Yet all the while, the evidence

Of his incapacity to be a worthy steward

Of the creation he separated himself from Continually stares into his closed eyes.

Indeed the created need to draw near to the creator

And the natural man should seek and invite the holy

Into his deepest heart and then experientially observe

The natural man give way to the spiritual man.

********************

As the many stars

Pierce the midnight sky

So are there many thoughts

Breaths, births and deaths.
