Divine Energy

Divine Energy

 

We have always sought a connection with the divine.

There is a reason the French terms for de vigne or du vin

means of the vine and of of wine in English.

A person searching for water in barren terrain is a diviner,

using a divining rod, a special stick of wood in the shape

of a “Y” used to find the hidden spring of replenishing water.

 

We devein shrimp and crawfish. Let us devein ourselves –

of tubes and corpuscles – to replace them with pathways

of pure energy and electricity, pulsating and vibrating

through our bodies to reinvigorate and renew.

 

We transmit, transform, transfigure, transmorph, transmute

and transcend the transom as we transition to a new

entity, emerging with energy and enlightenment.

 

Our energy existed before us, is with us, and shall survive us

after we depart from our earthly existence.

We each of us become a light, a flame. To those we meet

we share the light, as candle to candle, flame to flame is spread –

until there is a connection between us all, a shared energy and brilliance.

 

We have a conflagration congregation. But this is not a fire that burns

and destroys; it is like the burning bush of the Old Testament. It burns

but does not consume. It gives forth light and shines coolly, emitting

neither heat nor fear of destruction.

 

Open minds may join, connect, learn, assuage and ameliorate.

Closed minds create confusion and condemnation.

 

Walk with me in the divine light and energy of the universe.
