										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Akhilanda</p>
<p>Never-not-broken</p>
<p>Blazing fiery flame divine</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>You are shattered</p>
<p>You are pieces</p>
<p>But you know it’s by design</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Your fearlessness</p>
<p>Comes through the knowing</p>
<p>That fractured is a holy state</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Beneath the vanquished</p>
<p>Outer shell</p>
<p>There lies the chance to recreate</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Strength comes from change</p>
<p>Life grows from death</p>
<p>This is the lesson you deliver</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>The greatest darkness</p>
<p>You endure</p>
<p>To teach us how to be light givers</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Detachment and failure</p>
<p>Undesired</p>
<p>But now I freely can embrace</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>You are the Phoenix</p>
<p>In destruction</p>
<p>For destruction is eternal grace<img data-attachment-id="154" data-permalink="https://unprodigaldaughter.com/2019/04/02/akhilanda/img_3287/" data-orig-file="https://unprodigaldaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/img_3287.jpg" data-orig-size="377,500" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="img_3287" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://unprodigaldaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/img_3287.jpg?w=226" data-large-file="https://unprodigaldaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/img_3287.jpg?w=377" src="https://unprodigaldaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/img_3287.jpg?w=1108" class="size-full wp-image-154"   srcset="https://unprodigaldaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/img_3287.jpg 377w, https://unprodigaldaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/img_3287.jpg?w=113&amp;h=150 113w, https://unprodigaldaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/img_3287.jpg?w=226&amp;h=300 226w" sizes="(max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px"></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We wish for the depraved</p>
<p>To become subjected</p>
<p>To the pain and suffering</p>
<p>Of their own depravity</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>The wild-eyed hatred</p>
<p>Disconnected from self</p>
<p>Deeply rooted and tethered</p>
<p>In the bewildering shame</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>The pain that was &#8220;ours&#8221;</p>
<p>Is transferred to &#8220;theirs&#8221;</p>
<p>The anger we plant</p>
<p>Darkens our existence</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>The path is cyclical</p>
<p>The suffering real</p>
<p>What is the lesson</p>
<p>In a distorted reality?</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Searching for meaning</p>
<p>But without justice</p>
<p>Pleading for a reason</p>
<p>Without prayers for redemption</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Eternal loneliness</p>
<p>Is all that exists</p>
<p>When choosing to repeat</p>
<p>The shattering of spirits</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Entangled humanity</p>
<p>In perceived separation</p>
<p>Can only find healing</p>
<p>Upon total absolution</p>

One song that I have always loved since childhood was “Sing of Mary” by Roland Palmer (1938). However, as I get older I find myself more and more troubled by the language. The spirit of the hymn is beautiful, but I decided to rewrite it with updated language.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sing of Mary, pure and loving</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Gentle mother, evermore</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sing of God’s own Son, ascended</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Tenderest child of tenderest mother,</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Holy Master who came to earth</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Christ demonstrated our True Nature</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Wisest of teachers since his birth</span></p>
<hr />
<p>&#8212;-</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sing of Jesus, Son of Mary</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Wandering in Nazareth</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Waking us up to the Oneness in us</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Fearless he was, of even death</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Constant was the love they showed us</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Even when friends had left his side</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Teaching us that we are all eternal</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Showing us love when crucified</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As if to participate in our celebration</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">To call us to attention</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">To ground us in focus and clarity</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The chirping mechanizes</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">And the angels speak through the pipes</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“The birds were created for a singular task</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">To emanate the sound of joy</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Through the grace of music</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We mimic the birds</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We mimic so that you may remember</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So you know why you are here</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“You never stop to listen to them</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">But they are always teaching</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Their lesson is simple and absolute:</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">There is joy in love</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Keep your heart light,</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Like our soft feathers</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">And remember that you came to teach</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">That only love is real.”</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">solitary, frozen, fearful</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">despair feels somehow restorative</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The fantasies come along</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">An existence absence of you</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The sadness thick; isolation never-ending</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Every door on which you knock is closed</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The intensity of the thoughts thicken</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You are but a wretched person</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You have solely yourself</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Insignificant in the universe</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You begin to question</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Why did I come</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This could not have been a choice</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Anything else would have been better</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The ego moves you slow like molasses</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You forget who you are</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You slip farther away</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You feel comfort in the cavern</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The earth shakes; you have hit the bottom</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As your body slams onto the earth </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A singular thought arises</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I do not want to be with myself any more</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Something curious happens</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The thought makes you realize</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You are not the sum of your experience</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Who is “you”? Who is “yourself”?</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">An awareness of distinction</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Clears your skies of consciousness</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The dark sky altered your perception</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">But abruptly you have shifted</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Grasping the blackness</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Amplifies the beauty of the light</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">One cannot exist without the other</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Harmoniousness becomes you</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Your radiant glow spreads</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">To the totality of what your touch</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">And your dark night of the soul</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Brings others into their beauty</span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A blessing in disguise</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A deliverance from terror</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The experience assists you</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">And millions will learn from you</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To participate in dogma</p>
<p>Is to be heavy and restrictive</p>
<p>A winter parka</p>
<p>wrapped in a weighted blanket</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>We are a cosmic undertaking</p>
<p>A testimony to the Creator</p>
<p>We flow freely in the breeze</p>
<p>Like a creature of flight</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>The burden of life in 3D</p>
<p>Becomes the only reality we recall</p>
<p>To conceptualize the Truth</p>
<p>Is an absurdity of controversy</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>To create is to nurture the soul</p>
<p>To conform is to drain it</p>
<p>Surrender to remember</p>
<p>And we realign again</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Our inner guidance is universal</p>
<p>A divine right of royalty</p>
<p>The king and queendom of God</p>
<p>Is a flash in every soul</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Remember yourself</p>
<p>The whole of your being</p>
<p>lift your blanket; remove your coat</p>
<p>Feel the breeze of the Real Way</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ivory hands caress the soil</p>
<p>With tenderness and femininity</p>
<p>Co-authoring the scenery of life</p>
<p>What blooms later sustains us</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Jet black corkscrews wrapped in satin</p>
<p>Razor blades and a steady grip</p>
<p>Restoring confidence in the despondent</p>
<p>Embracing the exterior pulchritude</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Words with the weight of a roaring sea</p>
<p>Mightily cast to millions of devotees</p>
<p>Inspiring one foot in front of the other</p>
<p>Teaching us of our particularity</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Jocularly observant and ironic</p>
<p>Droplets descending down the cheek</p>
<p>Jovial pains wildly shake the belly</p>
<p>As laughter delights in the present</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Imagination alters the once barren landscape</p>
<p>Reaching skyward beyond the treetops</p>
<p>Beaming edifices boldly towering</p>
<p>Supplying shelter to embodied spirits</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>To each their own kind</p>
<p>But every kind essential</p>
<p>Not a solitary soul misplaced</p>
<p>Each one purposeful and enriching</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Didymus</p>
<p>Fearful wanderers</p>
<p>Dreading solitude</p>
<p>But somehow yearning for it</p>
<p>The universe had stamped us</p>
<p>With the eternal burden of empathy</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>A sense of purpose</p>
<p>Created a sense of alienation</p>
<p>Another swain that drained the cup</p>
<p>And left us with jaded hearts</p>
<p>Blessed unions did not exist</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>A restored faith</p>
<p>Opened the eyes of our hearts</p>
<p>When serendipitous moments</p>
<p>Created spiritual ecstasy</p>
<p>And for once unfiltered freedom</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Healing of ourselves</p>
<p>Spanned across generations</p>
<p>And so did the spark</p>
<p>That kept us strong</p>
<p>The fire of the selfsame field</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Each time we wandered back</p>
<p>We expanded in space and time</p>
<p>Sometimes we were broken</p>
<p>And other times we dissipated</p>
<p>But now we are everything</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>The wounds healed quicker</p>
<p>And the mission grew stronger</p>
<p>As life became fantastical</p>
<p>And drew reality into the surreal</p>
<p>Our energies channeled as one</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Existence is twofold</p>
<p>The masculine and the feminine</p>
<p>Before, present, and after</p>
<p>We will search until success</p>
<p>Because together we are whole</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
