PORTAL

[Baut Images: Portal]

Just ahead of me now,
Along the path I travel,
Is a new world.

A world with fresh air,
Clear blue water and clean food;
A new world.

Where people work together,
For the benefit of each other,
And deception is unknown.

Just ahead of me now,
Lies the portal,
Time to step...

Roger Allen Baut

  6. Imagine if we all took that first step together! That's why I'm here...that's why I write. There are so many of us who want to change the world, but alone, the mere thought belittles our desires, but together...imagine! Roger, I am so very happy to see you, to read you, and to know you are willing to take that step. Let's focus on the Portal and make it happen!

  8. Thank you so very much for your thoughts hedgewitch, and I totally agree with you, "if we keep trying, maybe someday we will take that last step."

    ...and what a wonderful world it will be with 'clear blue water'.

    Thanks, again, always a pleasure to touch your energy across time and space!

  9. Hi Tom! Thanks for your comment and I'm so pleased you resonated to my poem! ☺

    You write, "is it even possible?" Yes, it is, and it is only a step away! Gregg Braden writes in "The Isiah Effect," that there are many doors to probable futures that lie before us, and it is the 'choices' we make that opens the door to a dormant probable future.

    I chose "A world with fresh air,
    Clear blue water and clean food;
    A new world."

    And when I envision it, it takes me 'one step' closer to that place. All of the ancients have spoken of this...a new world arising from the ashes of the old...a Phoenix Rising...

    It is there...

    ...and thanks for following this blog...be welcome...

    Roger ☺

  20. Thanks bodhirose glad you liked it! Well, I have studied some of the ancient teachings all my life, and they indicate that each age gives birth to a new more highly evolved one!

    If you are not familiar with the writings of Mary Summer Rain, check out some of her material. Mary was the last student of the Native American Indian Shaman-woman No-Eyes...

    There IS a 'new' Earth that is like I have described...it will come...

    Best regards,
    Roger ☺
