age is a victory

dear young friend & family in Shiva, when i speak of age, you
seem to hear death, probably because of your youth. but for me at
eighty-one, age is a victory, something amazing that is
given to me to rejoice in, & i do! you seem to think that
i rejoice in the nearness of death, but no! it is this life that
i rejoice in. i delight in beauty, goodness & truth. if it
doesn't relate to my purpose, i pay no attention to it.
my purpose is to celebrate life & to release the outworn,
that Shiva & i can commune together more meaningfully.

so think not that age means closer to death! age just as vividly
can mean closer to life, because i can so fully & deeply
enjoy this life now as a seasoned spiritual connoisseur.
years of arcane experience now reveal its value to me.

invisible lines of connection

there are invisible lines of connection between us. for some,
we are drawn closer together by them. for others, the lines have
become more like lines of separation, warning of the need for
distance. we are wise to heed such messages of affinity.

it is not an accidental thing to be born into these times:
it is a gift, an opportunity. we can accomplish much
in less time due to the kali yuga intensity. it's the
fast track of evolution that we choose. it calls for everything
that we have to give, & even more. we must persevere daily.

for this, we need those invisible lines of connection to draw
us together. we need silence & time to reflect upon our
own individual lives & the directions they take, & how
they can surprise us with the sudden unexpected plot twists.

we need one another to pool our combined strength for such plot twists,
as together our energies unite in Shiva, who uplifts &
supports transformative efforts on behalf of humanity.
may our invisible lines of connection become visible!
