Taylor Swallow and Barney Dolpin present....

 They meet at the magic isle, two souls in the seeking, space for their talents, they want to say it, but need the comfort of being appreciated, through difficulties, they come and go, time teaches them, lessons, if only we had known, our governments don’t always have the right hearts at work, those that sought power, tried to dismiss our opinions, there was no space for us to go, they find each other, and energize each other, and out of their efforts, a certain rhythm flows. This new beat, call it heavenly rhythm, a truth in other words, attaches to the hearts of others, opening the inside spaces, that many kept closed, for no one could reach them, a bit like the Heart of Jesus, the joy so many felt, ah, someone understands us at last, and its called free will.....

Peace in our time, Palestine, Ukraine, Famine....

 

Appeals are made, decision makers aware, the words are peace minded, from whom is the request from, the papal appeal, nonsense says a journalist, that’s surrender, your calling for peace, (they said the same in Northern Ireland before the peace) anyone reasonable assumes peace is a form of retreat, standing back, asking, not the same head space that conflict brings, so do they heed the warnings, while signs from above, confirm, there is a divine interest looking on. The prophet might add; so you think peace is difficulty for you, put yourself before the eternal judge, you’ll soon think very differently, amen, wishing you had made the space for peace to be spoken of. Anyway, they continue their disagreement; one country says to another, this war you are fighting, without our support where would you be then. Your putting peace elsewhere at risk, encouraging whom. Do you want to receive your tab now, or are you prepared to accept your fate. Whom are you taking with you, they want peace, if they say so, they become lepers in their own country, unpatriotic.

Solomon listened, and listened, why, out of respect for peace efforts. So imagine the following, and its not at all distorted or out of the ball park. Everyone will have to face that moment, some will run to it, some will run from it, if they could choose. This is a one way ticket.

A line is drawn, no more of that, could this be Jesus telling the men and boys who are about to throw rocks at the lady caught in the act, to take notice, I assume your not guilty of this crime yourself. They walk away, Jesus offers the words, well don’t be doing this again.

Anyway, there is a man who wants to put up a marker, or monument, for those who will have their lives shortened, by the actions of those who had the ability to stop the arguing Lets say, the man is ambitious, decides to take on, all the regions of conflict. His plan a very simple one. He decides to add the names of those that fall on account of no peace being found, from a certain date. He adds in the cost of the conflicts buildings and rebuilding, salaries, machines, he is doing the full Monty; so this is how you respect the resources of the world, he adds. Every week he issues a report, this is what was lost here, this is the cost of lives, with names of the innocent, underlined. So peace is hard to reach, they nod their heads. He points to the doors. For peace says one door. Each week, the news is brought to the attention of the war planners. Some are weary and privately want peace; to live with their salaries, they do what they are told.

Six months later, peace becomes lasting in places. The old accountant’s sword appears. You could have saved all that, the trauma you caused, this, the hopes of heaven, interfered with potentially, so some will think. If only we had chosen a more peace orientated dialogue, what it would have saved us. Instead, we have all these souls who will be demanding action, at a time when the Holy Spirit rules with authority, what will we do then.

The man goes home, he has said what needs to be said. Its personal, not some far off theory, its quantifiable, more lawyer friendly too.

Francis makes the same appeal. The listening channel is working now. In some places, there has been historic conflicts, that some use to justify further conflict. However, since the signs tally with what’s in the holy writ, thoughts of immortality become widespread, while a techie forgets to pay the electric on the suspended souls corporation, a service that cost a small fortune for a chance at rebirth, the techie however, escaped, leaving an awful stench in the building, amen, instead of that sweet smelling fragrance that’s earthy and sweet to the senses. Should have invested in power stations instead, amen.

To add a climax to the occasion, a big ending say, the man sets a monument in stone, in the seas. AS the toll of the eminently good rises, so does the monument. Think the logistics. Then, with too much time and money to spend, a maritime lover, decides to remake the Titanic, and as scripts go, the monument of rock is unseen, just a tip of it is visible, where is Jack and Gwyneth gone. I will love you for ever… can you play another tune please…

And to reflect; recall the parable told, of Lazarus and Abraham together, enjoying the new life! if only I had known says the man seeking the drop of water. Today we have signs, telling us, amen.

the Presidents office

 An aged affair, the President is wiser, consults people, doesn't use his own opinions, asks for assistance, doesn't assume to have all the answers, has to wait at times, even if there are those who want instant responses, what sort of president would act so rashly, hurried, when your global reputation is at stake. A president must remain clam, must expect criticism, what, waiting, patient. Planning requires long term thinking too, the countries that are living in calm, they had their struggles too. Now though, with the social media playing such a role, where robots can post questions or remarks, its only correct to be patient, Jesus tells us this, for those that listen, amen.

The schemers will plan for opportunities, that's why they are called schemers, they set up situations in the hope of trapping people. Jesus however deals with the Issue, he makes it clear, and sets out to counteract those that scheme against the Holy Spirit. his words of this are harsh.

So the President, he is not jumping into the cockpit of a F16 trying to impress anyone. He knows that they are serious machines, its not something to be cheap on, they have been misused. The President knows the different lobbies, their interests, their efforts to corner him, he knows all that, he knows how they will pounce on every word misused, he knows they know his elderlyness, he is aware, amen.

Virtues for a new President

 Virtue, what is it, clear to communicate, not afraid of the self, aware of human weakness, the need to start again, a clear picture of the reality, a step to the new destiny, time awareness, it doesn't happen instantly, the new affect, the great changes, not overcome by patriotism, able to make good overseas connections, aware of past mistakes, good at explaining and helping make amends, aware of Spirit truth, the threat of social media propaganda, knows how to follow the chains of it, those in the background, and can act when it matters, not from emotion, that's easy to create, and pays respect to those, mistreated by the state, and doesn't fear being found out himself or herself, has the way with the words, and never uses God's word, unless for that purpose, of unity of it, amen.

Women of Jerusalem ...song for peace

 She listens to all the opinions, there are those on her mind, her attention diverted every time she listens to the news, so she make a song, one day it will be different, so she hums in her kitchen, a live song, and her mind begins to open up, she hears things, almost like feeling alive, what is this, their opinions ignored for such a long time, who is this she asks, then out come the words of peace, as the good books say, that which we strive for, and it went like this...

 prays and thinks about it all the time
 then she sways in the soft eastern breeze
Women of the Spirit where do you hide it,
she listens to the voices it's the drone that comes from it,
that heaving sound that thunders with menace,
if I don't get you legally I'll get you with my tanks,
 hears the voice call from across the fields,
another mother cries they ignore her with lies,
we'll fix this the only way we can,
women of Jerusalem how long can this last,Far away she looks over there
 asks why can't it be another way

They were all asking, why the patience, this anxiety in so many places, she stops to think about all that pain, she feels it too like labor there comes a time, why the make on perfection she asks, she likes to feel good it's the space the task, inside she had ideas, they never stop to understand, one day when they are old, they'll be talking about their grand children, and where the years go, what was it all about, was to see the power of the beast at work, or was it fear of the gates of heaven whichever is the safer, she makes a wry request, who are we to fear, then the light went on inside her, they space such as this, your a bird that has been released from a cage... so the thoughts went on, and in the space, others voices began to emerge, and then it was calm again, and they all slept with hope rather than regret, amen.

To Future Generations

 

Attention in class, the novice teacher walks in, daunting, what am I to do, just keep them quite, the headmaster says, four or five years old, he tells them stories, there isn't a sound. How they fared, well they were lucky, the school was not over crowded, and the space around it was green, the haven away from the city, Solomon looks back, the value of a good education.

He is outside the game, another sort of apprentice, they are talking their own stuff, he is not an eaves dropper, and there is talk of wars on the TV, another great invasion is being prepared, and the co-operation on both sides, how else do you get a hold on another nations soil. The notion of pricing the recovery before the conflict starts is rather disturbing talk, why not the peace talk that would stop the whole thing, interests, the first world war was a business for many, and how did we hear of Herr Schindler, it was a case of much the same. Solomon wondered if they'd be so brave in the face of divine awareness, not the ritual of faith, but the real thing, intervention from the sky, no grey area when its real, a real choice between heaven on earth or your own version of hell, lets be optomistic, The Holy One is called merciful for the reason mercy is mercy, why argue, just increase your chances of heavenly approval. Wisdom, why would a soul like this be able to think this even, or why would you write it even, or for those with other interests, whether you beleive or not, what does it matter when its real, amen.

The paper talks of the hormonal challenges facing us, how our body chemistry changes. He recalls the warnig long ago, a close one, was getting to that age in life, reminders were given, the crankiness and sudden change in behaviour, but it never happened, we are not the same, a woman with a great intellect suffers the same, she fails to recognise the symptoms, there is a lot of damage done, a little time to reflect, a little truth, do you steam roll until you get what you want, and nearly destroy the lives of those around you, what were your choices, a little time to reflect prehaps, were your emotions working overtime, was it difficult to slow down, perhaps you needed to rest more often, were you afraid of giving others, a competitive edge, was that the world you lived on, how success in some places of work, are tainted by cheats and those who use any advantage to get ahead, amen.

He is wise in ways, but is older, has been taking too on, tries to stay younger, its the age thing, the great lesson in Mother Nature, we age in different ways, why fall back on the fear who can create, when the good thing to do, would be to encourage the next generation, with the wisdom you showed, who wants to be reminded of, well, if only he hadn't gone so far, what would have been the outcome, its okay if your going for unreachable peaks, the challenge is usually a singular one, and family is often set to the side, who has the choices like that you ask.

The new strenght is in the emotions, are you a people person, can you get along well with those around you, do you need to be the boss to be respected, what is the matter, too much pride, custer chases the indian scouts over the ridge, sought the glory, it all ends in tears, a little more balance, or more honesty when making agreements, its the same as prayers, how honest were you when you made the prayer, what did you do afterwards, Jesus tells the parable of those he healed, in particulr the men with the dreaded skin disease, and the One who came back and said thanks. The old testament is full of such stories, and the reasons for it, when we discount the God factor, what are we doing, particularly when future generations depend upon your today, what legacy will you take to the holy gates, no advisors will be able to advise you, and then you hear of Lazarus and Abraham, they enjoy the cool water, they are having a great time among the prophets, while the ones who had it all, are cursing themsevles, for ignoring the eternalk God, their wish, will you remind those we hold dear, in case they make the same mistakes, amen.

Solomom wondered what Father Nivard would make of his petitions, ignoring the interference he encountered, there are disturbers everywhere, including yourself, he thinks of the Old Monk too, the words were a balm to his ears, and the little pal, and the light, what power is this he thought, looking up, he knew clearly, thinking of future generations, amen.

As for old Barney the Cat, or was it smudge the rabbit that got him, amen.

Across the world, the great teachers of the word, many of t

President Adams

 The holy prophets remind us, that God Most High comes to the rescue of his people. You might get a caution or put on the waiting list, but with time and practice, you win back Godly approval. Daniel in the lions den, the other stories, the double meaning the paranoid put on things, their delusion, God doe not exist, what a surprise awaits them. The holy books are there to remind us, don't give up on your faith, and the vineyard story tells us, that the gentile is made worthy too, while some who deem themselves worthy, have a lot of catching up to do. So don't despair, if others try to sell you their fears, no matter what. Yes, we are taught lessons, and we are told parables, to help us understand the heavenly ways, it's all there.
