Truth, Love & Beauty

Truth, Love & Beauty

by James Reesor alias Tennessee Elijah

Truth, Love & Beauty

TRUTH

Let us contemplate together, the knowledge of

One Eternal Spirit – and as we receive, let all receive!

To begin our everlasting companionship, my friend,

let us ponder the future, knowing how the sweet mystery

of Life lays bare in fields filled with fertile dreams.

While we explore the heavenly Mind of the Father Creator,

let us not fail to look with a passing glance at the past,

knowing it lays dormant until revisited by a soul.

Humankind knows nothing more than what is remembered of

both the past and future, blending so gently within thoughts

and emotions as we contemplate each golden moment.

Where, then, do we go from here along this rapturous,

magnanimous, deleterious or perfunctory journey?

From what victory or defeat do we suddenly spring

forward into the grasping arms of destiny?

With eyes facing discernible visions, passion moves us

into uncertain circumstances where darkness and Light

mingle between voices calling the names of our desires.

Passion fills hearts as empty fingers reach out to each other, having

nothing to give, but companionship. Let us not be insensitive during this

preordained meeting, knowing how sorrow races through tender veins

when the heart is wounded by strangers speaking cruel deceptions.

Only Love can come...

...to the rescue in troubled times of desperation,

restoring hope – and giving a reason to try again.

Yes, it is permissible to express ideas with words,

parents are telling babies, teaching them to speak.

Every sentence contains a complete thought, they are told.

Continuity in subject matter should be maintained

if possible – even though paragraphs are optional.

Where do we go from here? the listener wondered as

the exotic speaker rambled far beyond literal coherence.

"Is there any rhyme or reason to this dissertation?

Will Life be made better or worse as a result of allowing

an alien messenger to penetrate virgin souls?"

Would a tender kiss make it better?

Honesty makes deceitful children feel vulnerable.

Affection is not something we can share too easily.

Emotions are often suppressed and the selfish feel unfulfilled.

Relationships can get complicated, they say defensively.

It might be wise to keep our thoughts to ourselves?

Strangers remain strangers when suspicion reigns.

Maybe a few loyal friends will keep secrets, but it would

take forever to explain everything we couldn't say.

Do you know how many people reside on Planet Earth?

Over six billion people on one planet seems significant.

I wonder how many will understand a true prophet

when ignorant teachers suck God out of reality?

Deceivers dominate, he warned them.

Differences of opinion seem socially acceptable.

Religion is for the weak and fearful, evil teachers teach.

Why does the traditional Christian viewpoint often

seem contradictory to resourceful free-thinkers

who serve false gods of their own making?

Conflict is easily defined while harmony is seldom explained

in unequivocal terms for lost souls who crave complications.

Maybe students need an education based on Truth?

Maybe Planet Earth needs a new language?

We can't eliminate every adversary who practices inferior

uncivilized behavior as though Life itself gives people

some kind of universal civil right to exercise evil speech.

Contrary nations who oppose intelligence should be forced

into submission by the tempering forces of serene tranquillity.

Boundaries between hate-filled opposing armies should

be erected to isolate enemies – while diplomats eat

from the same table as soldiers, read the same

books and sleep in the same bed.

War has always been a stupid idea!

Where are the followers of Christ hiding?

Where are those gentle souls who love their enemies?

Why are we living as though hate is inevitable?

Where are those dreamers who believe in peace?

Why do nations tolerate fools who rule?

Let the wisdom of the centuries bring humility to

every scientist who believes
