The Clamour

The Clamour

“For Babylon’s sins have reached unto heaven – and the cries of the innocent have bidden her judgements.” – The Fool

Every word you say
Every word you write
Be it Daytime’s stage
Or the still of Night
The opinions you state
What you set your eyes upon
All the roads you take
Every secret work
Every bitter hate
Every act of [...]



The Matrix as the Sanctuary

By BBennettJ • Jul 1st, 2009 • Category: Lead Story

The Matrix as the Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is a place of safety – that cannot be defiled by fear or torment for (because of) the One by whose power it stands
Its very existence establishes its Creator. -
But earthly sanctuaries – mere shadows and reflections of that eternal Matrix – are subject to violation, desecration, and abomination.
Even [...]

Intrinsic, Inherent – Sensible

‘O, taste and see that the Lord is good,” – “For we were eyewitnesses of His majesty, – what our hands have held – and what we have seen and heard – for the life was made manifest.” – The Disciples

Today’s norm is to ignore the obvious truth in [...]



Holy Ground

By BBennettJ • Mar 8th, 2009 • Category: Lead Story, Poems

Holy Ground
It’s a paradigm shift – an anomaly in the matrix,
We are walking,
Yes we’re walking,
On Holy ground

I have never seen it like this before
More people are talking
More people are walking
And they’re headed for the door

We’re through the looking glass
Standing on the river’s shore
The beast is rising up
We can’t go back no more

The siren’s song comes [...]



Beautiful Feet

Beautiful Feet
“How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.” – Paul, formerly Saul the Murderer
All too often we get sidetracked when we speak of religion, or the gospel, or spirituality, or mysticism. More often than not, when we are talking of these [...]



Enclaves

By BBennettJ • Feb 9th, 2009 • Category: Lead Story

Enclaves
As the world around us becomes more wrought with strife – when the stress of expressing ourselves , our ideas; and our inner thoughts and heart is assailed on every side – so much so that we calculate our exposure of who we truly are – it is in these times and circumstances – these [...]



We call you from Gallipoli

By BBennettJ • Jan 28th, 2009 • Category: Poems

We call you from Gallipoli
We call you from Gallipoli – the Light Brigade – the River Kwai
From death camps on the Mekong, and from mountain’s cave and den
We call you from desertion to the wilderness and scented bed
From Flanders Fields and Auschwitz – from Stalingrad and Diamond Head
From hulls of sulking vessels where you [...]

The Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States of America
If you haven’t read the transcript of the speech that President Barak Obama gave at his inauguration, then you have missed one of the great speeches of all time.
President Obama was quick to affirm and acknowledge what most of us understand by now, that [...]



Sacred Geometry

By BBennettJ • Jan 17th, 2009 • Category: Lead Story

Sacred Geometry
Water does not flow below the bedrock.
Neither does light enter into a space obscured by the slightest obstruction.
We do not speak plainly of things that we do not understand.
What is “friendly” to us is usually the basis of our surroundings and our environment,
And, the essence of our lives is not found in our possessions [...]



Deep Waters

Deep Waters
For most of us – there will come a time in our journey when we will come face to face with deep waters. – and there have been seasons where entire peoples, or nations – even the world and all its inhabitants – have faced deep waters.
We have entered such a time.
“Pray that your [...]
