PEOPLE, new video created Christmas Eve and posted on YouTube.  Please have a look:http://youtu.be/Xk_cZ8-vIWk

Bodies are articulations. The human body is one form of biotic speech, similar to yet different from the body of the jaguar, as to the body of the orca, as to the sable-feathered, light boned flesh of raven.

Through bodies, evolution, diversity, even Earth herself and guiding divinity, initiates communication. Such is why there are levels of motion and differences in textures and colors and sensitivities.

Faces are articulations too. The human face, structurally of a kind,…

Make love to the angel—first to the angel of your heart and soul, who is your living light and living fire.  Then to the higher beyond, who out of the mystic gives you guidance and will shelter you in the saving grace of tomorrow.

You are the fragile perhaps forgotten the betrayed and the endangered, you are the vulnerable yet a vessel for wisdom-primordial and a life hidden from freedom over time. You are the uncertain and unknown neglected soul and a soul ambiguous. Yet you are a visionary a myth-dreamer dancer and a pathfinder of subtle dimensions and primal energies.

I am dragging something out of my poetry closet to share (again) with each and all, a small contribution in words to healing the harm brought on by one arrogant fool. Let us all pray together for peace, understanding, and unity in diversity that reveals us as both one and many. -david
