Abrahamic Imprint
I write a lot about my God with no religion both here and in in my poems from time to time. However, I do have moments when I stop and worry that the Abrahamic God is real. That really frightens me because having spent something like a lifetime studying the Abrahamic texts, and not “cherry …
Whatever you are wearing is your uniform
(cross-posted) Accidentally watched an ongoing loop of newsertainment political-porn about growing public frustration with ICE. I do not think it captured reality. I do not think that was the intention; by the media or the sitting office holders. I realized I have no idea what is going on out there. No TV. No NYT. No …
An important part on my quest to speak to God, revisited
I did something I never thought I would do again. Though I had deleted these two websites, and before that I had hidden them from online access some time ago because I didn’t want an inkling of association with mass murderers, I, I don’t know, graduated to understanding why so many Catholics didn’t leave their …

Poems that were temporarily offline (cross posted)
It was only by tinkering with the website template that I realized there were a handful of previously published poems still in draft status. That has been corrected and I think I have the full list below. Please also note that the entire time, however long it has been, you could have found these poems …
The test we are under, the remnants of the subconscious signature, and self-defense
The test is not to have our hearts and minds, our conscience, corrupted by an antagonizing government. Just as when we were children and taught to respect other people’s boundaries, those truisms still exist. God answered why She/He could not intervene. It would not be just. Even on the side of justice. God is too …

God of Public Stanzas
God was rather mean, interjecting in today’s poem, “I will not be there when you need me / next, because you could not follow my lines” – and it was true I did not write down the words and phrases He/She was attempting to feed to me, but this spiteful God that is more of …
Currency be damned (cross post)
I’m not saying I am great with money. I could be more frugal. But as a whole the population of the Unites States is financially illiterate, to such a drastic point, most them do not realize that is what causing them so many problems. Let’s just say the older generation that doesn’t trust computers or …
Cross-post from tilley.solar for re-emphasis – open access, open culture, open learning, anti-thought leaders, anti-careerism, new hope, the beginning of a new community
If you are going to make a definitive statement, one you are willing to double down on, please explicate. You may not realize that you have a teachable moment. Take advantage of it. We all have corners of ideas, ideas we jot down, but never get around to expanding on – however, clarifying those ideas …
God tries to comfort me, despite my hardheadedness
God said I have to trust in people and then I can “go father than I ever dreamed” and that my inability to trust is what is holding me back creatively. God said I am afraid to let down my internally seeded guard because it would destroy my vision that people are evil. I reminded …
I woke about 10 pm and God is here. We talked about poetry.
God, presenting Himself as male, said He likes this poem, even though I refer to God in how She presented Herself as female, for quite some time. (God has presented Herself as male before, God is endless and above gender.) Amongst the downfall of sleeping armieshttps://subspacewagon.systems/amongst-the-downfall-of-sleeping-armies/ I was re-reading it, to re-familiarize myself with the …
