The Abyss of Light.......
A slaking of the thirst
Indelible desires
Wantonly
Pushing
Kneading
Shaping
Extrapolating outwards
Seemingly alone
Brimming
On a plane of compassion
Extrusion
Multifaceted dynamics
Leaving the corridors
Trekking.......
Through the dank alleyways
A confrontation
A subsidence
Pre conditioned notions
The loss of fear
The innocence regained
Endless streams
A consciousness
A greater awareness
Pushing the limits
Beyond
Cardovascular expansion
Neuron symphony
Working to the patterns
Exercising the flow
A portico of serenity
Echoing
Resonating.......
Through the universe
An opportunity
Raising the spontaneity
A cross roads
Beyond the pale
Leaving the rest
Beyond
An abyss of darkness
An unknown
Beckoning
In the crosshairs
Usurping the heritage
Reaching the definitive point
Surpassing each moment
In the joyousness of another
A leap of faith
Soaring
Against
The gravitational pull of self doubt
A moment of unreasonableness
Trusting
Believing
In the moment of the moment
Touching infinity
A survivor
In and through
The abyss of light.

This is SUCH a powerful piece. I love it all Derick. And I really strongly relate to this part. It reminds me of a time of my life and things I went through in the Australian rainforest. I am just writing about them as I work on my second book. First one is with my agent.
I love this...
YOU WROTE:
A leap of faith
Soaring
Against
The gravitational pull of self doubt
A moment of unreasonableness
Trusting
Believing
In the moment of the moment
Touching infinity
A survivor
In and through
The abyss of light.
Not only are your turns of phrase spectacular but the meaning here (for me) is felt in my body. I love this line: "...The gravitational pull of self doubt..." That is literally sensory in it's understanding. THAT my dear deep friend is brilliant writing. Brilliant feeling. Brilliant period.
The in and through the abyss of light is another I relate to. When I lived in the jungle at one point (write about it second book) I realized that for me finding myself was not about "fixing" or "dealing with" the unknown, the darkness, the abyss that so many have made a desperate "running-life" out of, but it was something that I HAD to let swallow me. It was NOT something to be got over, sorted through, over come, worked out...no. It was something to be EXPERIENCED. It WAS the letting go. I dove straight into what my culture perceives as darkness, illness, confusion, internal chaos, probably psychosis, (emotions and feelings to be GOT under control and rid of) and I dove right into heart of it and consciously let it swallow me whole. No more running for me, no more looking over my shoulder. I turned, faced it and said, "okay swallow me." In doing so I found the light. As you say, it IS the light.
We run, we build whole cultures that support our running. And we never experience the light. We try to find it in our books and religions and chants and fetishes, icons, crystals, concepts, steps and gurus and regimes. We have become followers instead of "jumpers"...souls who bravely jump into the underworld of self (of LIFE and DEATH and ETERNITY) to discover the Light. NO....to BECOME the light.
I am deeply moved by your soul which lives in a world beyond. No...that lives in the world that IS. I am grateful for it because you speak my language. You live it, as do I. I wish so much goodness for you in your lifetime, because your insight and creations are beyond even cutting edge. You jumped off the edge and flew and now you come back and share the world you have BECOME. THIS I relate to. Thank you for doing this... for you....for me...and for others like us. Thank you.
Robin,
I thank you for being able to feel the words that I write and in the process touch, resonate with something that pours through me.
To be a meal for the universe takes a certain mindset and perception, but once the leap is taken, life seems somehow different and each day presents that opportunity to discover.
I thank you
Molte Bene Grazie
namaste friend
Take care
