paganism

Yes: I exist inside my body.I__ not carrying the sun and the moon in my pocket.I don__ want to conquer worlds because I slept badly,And I don__ want to eat the world for breakfast because I have a stomach.Indifferent?No: a son of the earth, who, if he jumps, it__ wrong,A moment in the air that__ not for us,And only happy when his feet hit the ground again,Pow! In reality where nothing__ missing!(6/20/1919)

I have heard that Paganism is for broken people, but life cracks everyone in some way. We are a religion of healing people.

I suddenly asked my master Caeiro, __re you at peace with yourself?_ and he answered, __o, I__ at peace._ It was like the voice of the earth, which is everything and no one.

Sometimes in the evening on Summer days,Even when there__ not a breeze at all, it seemsLike there__ a light breeze blowing for a minuteBut the trees are unmovingIn every leaf of their leavesAnd our feelings have had an illusion,An illusion of what would please them...

Yes, this is what my senses alone have learned:__hings don__ have significance: they only have existence.Things are the only hidden meaning of things.

If they want me to have mysticism, okay, I__e got it.I__ a mystic, but only in my body,My soul is simple and doesn__ think.

I__ in no hurry: the sun and the moon aren__, either.Nobody goes faster than the legs they have.If where I want to go is far away, I__ not there in an instant.

I Only Believe What I See But I Question Everything I Hear

Quit Believing in Lies and Always Search For the Truth!

Last summer we had eight people in the [Christian] congregation who danced four different sun dances. Of course the missionaries have said all along that those ceremonies are pagan and we can't do that. Our people insist that they are free in the gospel, free in Christ Jesus, to participate in Indian religious forms and ceremonies. - George Tinker

The nature of Paganism is that of exploring, evolution, and opening up.

Magic is that paganistic reversal of the process of religion, in which man, instead of letting himself be used by God for the divine purpose, drags down his god to the level of a tool, which he uses for his own selfish purpose.

If you are drawn to the left hand path, it's usually because you've had some kind of life experience that has shocked you, awakened you.

Nature never remembers, that__ why she__ beautiful.

Let__ be simple and calm,Like brooks and trees,And God will love us by makingBeautiful things like the trees and brooks for us,And give us greenness in his spring,And a river for us to go to when we end...

One day when God fell asleepAnd the Holy Ghost went off flying,He got into a box of miracles and stole three.With the first he made it so that no one would know he had run away.With the second he made himself a human boy forever.With the third he created a Christ eternally crucifiedAnd left him nailed to the cross that there is in HeavenWhere he__ used as a model for other crosses.Then he ran away to the sunAnd came down on the first ray he caught.

And sometimes if I wantTo imagine I__ a lamb(Or a whole flockSpreading out all over the hillsideSo I can be a lot of happy things at the same time),It__ only because I feel what I write at sunset,Or when a cloud passes its hand over the lightAnd silence runs over the grass outside.When I sit and write poemsOr, walking along the roads or pathways,I write poems on the paper in my thoughts,I feel a staff in my handAnd see my silhouetteOn top of a knoll,Looking after my flock and seeing my ideas,Or looking after my ideas and seeing my flock,With a silly smile like someone who doesn__ understand what somebody__ sayingBut tries to pretend they do.

I__ a keeper of flocks.The flock is my thoughtsAnd my thoughts are all sensations.I think with my eyes and with my earsAnd with my hands and feetAnd with my nose and mouth.Thinking about a flower is seeing and smelling itAnd eating a piece of fruit is knowing its meaning.That__ why when on a hot dayI feel sad from liking it so much,And I throw myself lengthwise on the grassAnd shut my hot eyes,And feeling my whole body lying on reality,I know the truth and I__ happy.
