IF You Are Thirsty
A Call To Seekers
Hands outstretched
I’ve crawled
To the edge
Of, seemingly,
The Abyss
Can’t go on?
Given up?
Drug addiction?
Ashamed?
Exhausted?
Stuck?
Do you crave
To be fed steak?
Do you grow tired
Of the shallowness
Of every pool
You step into?
Do you KNOW
There is more?
Do you desire
To see behind
Closed and invisible
Doors?
What if
I told you
A place
A legendary myth
Exists
Birthplace
Of transformation
A metaphorical
Metaphysical
Mount Integration
Where the seeker
Is called
To witness
In wisdom
In order
To transform
Their own systems
This is a journey
One can undertake
Without moving
Very far
On this material plane
Would you like
For someone
To point
The Way?
Hang in there,
Babe!
The Cornerstone (Genesis 28:10-22)
Ready for
An uncomfortable truth
About you?
You ARE
THE cornerstone
You don’t need
Permission
You exist
Perfectly imperfect
Unprepared
Uncertain
Not polished
Not impressive
And God says,
“THAT IS MY ALTAR”
“They ARE
Where I choose
To LIVE
In LOVE”
If God is with me,
In me,
All around me,
Surrounding me,
Embracing me
Constantly
And if I choose
To believe
In what I cannot see
How does that
Not make me
Holy ground?
No fear
No shame
No trauma
No chain
Stands any
Shadow of a chance
In this
Holy Presence
The Pillar (Genesis 28:10-22)
I AM
About to
Anoint you
Dear seeker
And in
That anointing
Should you
So choose
To accept
This becoming
You will graduate
From standing stone
To an
Eternal pillar
In the
Halls of the Elders
(Awesome band too, btw!)
This journey
Comes
In Four Acts:
Identity
Stabilization
Liberation
Becoming
That is the extension
Of Jacob’s Ladder
So far
I have about
Thirty or so
Rungs
Worked out
Newsflash
You get to choose
What and who
Guides you
Although
Change is a constant
I believe
I have been sent
With a Message
That’ll point you
Towards Heaven
Begin
See and be seen
Start moving
The Pillar
Becomes
Marker
Witness
Boundary
Signpost
Support
Servant
The Pillar
Is
Alignment
Anointing Oil (Exodus 30:22-33)
Myrrh (Ezekiel 21:28-32)
You shall know
The TRUTH
And THE truth
Shall set you
Free
False peace
Cannot exist
In truth
There is no performance
There is no comfort
Truth is a surgeon
Skillfully removing infection
Revealing cycles
A sword
To unwanted patterns
Truth is medicine
Raising toxins
To the surface
Truth is salt
For living in truth
Is preservation
Death to self
Refusing delusion
Myrrh is
Hard truth
And truth
Exists
Inside of you
You can access it
If you
So choose
Your honesty
Will not be
Condemnation
But liberation
For in choosing
To take a stand
And say
This ends here
You willfully
Choose change
And execute fear
Cinnamon (Amos 2:6-16)
You MATTER
PERIODT
No argument accepted
I said it
If I get
To choose
To win
On anything
Let it be this
I stand
For the exploited
The used
The discarded
The tortured
The condemned
The ashamed
If this is
The way you feel
I AM real
You belong with me
You ARE sacred
Baby
In dignity
Shall thee
Steep
Becoming
A dignified tea
I write
With raised pinkie
You’re welcome
Just sayin’
Cinnamon
Is a hug
That hurts
It burns
To remind you
Of your worth
Calamus (John 5:1-15)
Upright
The reed
The Tree Of Life
Structure
Chosen structure
Not inherited
A rebuilt identity
Claimed by daily
Action
Reinforced by
Discipline in life
Discipline without shame
Discipline that
Names and games
This is
Choosing
To be
Whole
This is learning
Stability
For thee
This is choosing
Your daily actions
AND
Auditing them
To better understand
Their impact
On your growth
Time spent
In daily practice
Is building
Noah’s Ark
Don’t stop, babe,
You’re a shark!
Cassia (Acts 10:9-23)
Holiness
Without fear
Is what
You will find here
No more
Categories
That don’t belong
To you
Say goodbye
To purity shame
To patriarchy’s lane
To religious trauma
To ridiculous dogma
Cassia is
A cleansing
Of perception
Mindset purification
Liberation
Away with prejudice
Away with exclusion
Away with inherited disgust
Away with “them versus us”
No more shame
Around your sexuality
You are NOT unclean
You are NOT “dirty”
You are NOT “nasty”
Stop calling yourself unclean
Stop calling others unclean
You are being
Prepared
For service
To practice
Discernment
Without disgust
To go where called
Cuz
In God
We trust!
Olive Oil (Romans 5:12-21)
Condemned
By my own patterns
To which
I had fully bought in
Saved
And shown
Brought up in
Trained
By grace
Through faith
The Great Spirit
The Holy Spirit
Through daily practice
And innumerable tests
Has bought me
Brought me
Transferred me
To THE land
Of the spiritually
FREE
This is integration
This is becoming
This is life-long learning
This is living
This is loving
Life
Just
Flows
This
IS
Olive
Oil
“Where sin increased,
Grace increased
EVEN MORE!”
THATISOLIVEOIL!!!
My Invitation
If you are tired…come
If you are ready…enter
If you are thirsty…drink
This is THE threshold
This is My doorway
I lean on it
Winking
Are you
Ready to be
Finally
Walking?
To be
I AM
You ARE worthy
Of becoming
Holy Ground!
I look forward
To the day
I can look you
In the eyes
And say,
“Wow,
You have become
Bethel!”
