Until the day I die
In the crucible of this ages,
uncertainty of these moments,
we share eternal love,
a breath-prayer between us,
“I will love you until the day I die”.
So much power in these words,
This promise spoken between us,
But how much more joy,
When we are united, my love,
And we dance in the streets of heaven…

In Ukrainian (in Aramaic) – v4
In Ukrainian, in
the vernacular,
in the language of his people
infusing his words with power,
not the words of the oppressors,
boldly speaking in his native tongue…
The same with
Jesus, our Savior,
in words accessible, common,
speaking in the vernacular, Aramaic,
the language of his people, the Jews,
not the words of the empire, of Rome…
Equally subversive,
radical, intimate,
defiant against power, evil, but,
for his own people, so authentic,
not the revolutionaries, planted,
the tares with the wheat…
So too now, in
truth, in Russia,
a moment of choice, cathartic,
those who speak of freedom,
do they see the hypocrisy,
of their own nation state…

Let us draw near, to Christ,

let us draw near to sit,

Oh God, You call each of us,

dipping my cup, again, Lord,
into the waters, connected,
into the well of scripture,

fed within Your vine…

when I am dry, when I am empty,
longing for the living water,
for the well springs of life,
coming to the waters,
to be healed, to be fed…

Hybrid War – v2
Hybrid war, evil,
though we fail to see it,
lost in our excess, our greed,
in our own personal shit,
not seeing the canvas,
the far bigger picture,
pieces moved on the board.
A hot war though we
deny it,
the Cold War never ended,
the collapse of the Soviet Union
meant nothing, no respite,
no change in their essential nature,
they were always our enemy,
as they always will be…
Hybrid war,
propaganda,
boldness, poisonings, killing,
pipelines, cables, elections,
everything on the table, possible,
no red lines, no caution required,
when their enemy is silent,
merely wringing our hands…
Their chess games
are so different,
than how we see the world, poker,
brinksmanship, influence, bluffing,
versus a relentless pursuit on the board,
willing to sacrifice for their objective,
human life expendable, unimportant,
something we would never do…
Hybrid war a
reality, wake up,
leaders west of the Kremlin,
the man in the bunker is KGB,
learning from his elders, warriors,
willing to grab more land, power,
while we look at our cards, our choices,
we better choose before it is too late…

Security for Satan,
for Cain, the aggressor,
giving land for evil,
the terrorists’ space…
So many miles of
border,
vulnerable, exposed,
but evil with nukes,
eighty years of this…
They demand
security,
a buffer-zone, for evil,
of impunity in their backyard
on their western flank…
But what of the
innocents,
their savaged neighbors,
still reeling, still bleeding,
for centuries, their glory lost…
Security for Satan,
appeasement, red-lines,
siding with Cain, with evil,
not with the righteous Abel…

On the border of #Hell – v2 #Russia #Finland #Ukraine
Screams loud, incursions
too frequent,
centuries of war, endless conflict,
fighting the one enemy, the nation-state,
on their border, a menace, to the south, the east,
on the border of hell, of conquest, desolation,
staggering goliath, a bully, the aggressor,
Muscovy, Russia, whatever its name;
but unafraid, committed, now, this moment,
to not bend to the evil will of their neighbor,
standing resolute together, saying no,
to hell on their border, Their demands,
terror, genocide, their imperial lust…

Security for Satan
Security for Satan,
for Cain, the aggressor,
giving land for evil,
the terrorists’ space…
So many miles
of border, vulnerability,
but evil with nukes,
eighty years of this…
They demand
security,
a buffer-zone, of evil,
of impunity in their backyard
on their western flanks…
But what of the
innocents,
their savaged neighbors,
still reeling, still bleeding,
of centuries, of glory lost…

Ukraine must
prevail, must win,
Russia must be defeated, completely,
on the battlefield, in the economy,
on the world stage, right now…
No compromise, no
capitulation,
no truce, no negotiating with terror,
they must be brought to their knees,
for this genocide, this madness to end…
Russia must become
small again,
the Moskals put in their cages,
Russia must become Muscovy,
a pariah on the world stage…
Nothing short of total
victory,
the complete defeat of Russia
will rid the world of this cancer,
real peace to Europe, their land…

You create a thin
space, eternal,
thinner than parchment, gossamer,
brushing at the edge of heaven,
a murmur, a prayer, a whisper,
coming as close as breath,
to the infinite, to our imagination,
our walk, our living, our seconds,
to our journey here on earth…
You conjure magic,
emotion,
more than we can imagine,
making a way through eternity,
the infinite where You dwell,
opening a pathway, a doorway,
a channel for them to enter,
to descend, to traverse,
to sojourn here with us…
You create a thin
space,
a connection piercing the veil,
for the departed, our loved ones,
for our ancestors, for others,
to smile, to bloom, to blossom,
to cross over, to linger, to dwell,
so that they might grace us a moment,
but that moment ends far too soon…

#Russia must be #defeated
Ukraine must
prevail, must win,
Russia must be defeated,
On the battlefield, in the economy,
On the world stage, right now…
No compromise, no
capitulation,
No negotiating with terror,
They must be brought to their knees,
For the madness to end…
Russia must become
small again,
The Moskals put in their cages,
Russia must become Muscovy,
A pariah on the world stage…
Nothing short of victory,
The complete defeat of Russia
Will rid the world of this cancer,
Will bring real peace to Europe…

When we stepped back from the brink – v4
Climbing into the heads of our opponents,
our enemies, the Moskals, their evil,
standing with their victims, their prey,
their neighbors, our proxy state,
independent yet caught in the middle,
bleeding, dying, persevering, resilient,
under the onslaught of the aggressor,
aided too little but just enough…
I can understand their resistance,
limits on their defensive actions,
they are pawns in the larger battle,
of the superpowers, the warlords,
oligarchs of humanity, of nations,
moving pieces on the chessboard,
acting like they are merely proxies,
expendable, nothing more…
A half-truth of an unprovoked war,
centuries of battles between them,
a clash of different ideologies,
history, geopolitics, propaganda,
perception become reality,
choices made between them,
the march ever eastward,
peril its own reward…
A murmur of reticence,
denying reality, a hybrid war,
cities too close to the border,
I hear a gasp of recognition,
how can a lasting peace,
rise in the center of Europe,
fear of NATO on its doorstep,
is anathema to a nation state…
Like nuclear weapons in Cuba,
the Cold War never truly ended,
so many decades ago in history,
the same brinksmanship, rhetoric,
the perception our reality, a curse,
they see a knife poised against them,
along miles of border that they share,
a potential loss of imperial lusts….
A light must rise between them,
the global enemies and their neighbors,
each plane is important, essential,
a way through the rushing waters,
terror must be brought to heel,
but we need a corollary in this moment,
to when Khrushchev and Kennedy
each stepped back from the brink…

Analog of Ukraine membership in NATO

Quote attributed to Lee Atwater,
“Perception is reality.”
Quote attributed to Gustave Flaubert
“There is no truth. There is only perception.”
Quote attributed to Aldous Huxley,
“There are things known and there are things unknown,
and in between are the doors of perception.”
Quote attributed to George Monbiot
“What you see is not what others see.
We inhabit parallel worlds of perception,
bounded by our interests and experience.
What is obvious to some is invisible to others.”
