“It is Favorable to liberty. Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal.” – Benjamin Rush

Creativity's Golden Seed by Michael Romani The problem in its definition Is the seeking of the why Signaled change in new rendition New goals to set and turned to rectify First step: looking at what exists Is there a reason it still persists All appearances questioned in conception So many of these are simply deception What's important must stand out Closing the deal without any doubt Moving past our best self delusions The scaling of the con's sold illusion Often, the superficial catches the eye The important question is know the why There's a lot of bad in the making good This truth of design is best understood There is a balance to conformity Absence of which leads to outright deformity There in this notion of refined simplicity Lies the truest crux of the best creativity Life finds its momentum of gravity Despite the trolls' worst severity Five seconds of touch in application Is the zenith of our final supplication Main moments caught in their transition Ease the mind without harsh imposition Cutting to the chase of what we need And in this, finding creativity's golden seed (c) February 24, 2020 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
“The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.” – John Locke
“When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen.” – Samuel Lover, songwriter, composer, novelist, and artist (24 Feb 1797-1868)
And that precisely will fall more into place for this writer on 02/29/2020. It is the dawning of a new era. More to come as that day approaches rapidly….
The part of the sermon that I caught today had to do with forgiveness. Really I suppose it’s a matter of perception, correct? And it’s not about deserving. We all deserve ‘justice’. What we get is God’s mercy and love and through these we have forgiveness.
More Forgiveness Than I Deserve by Michael Romani Praising God for all His forgiveness All the hope He gives of happiness The moments that I live each day Checking myself each time I pray The truth of this is in the letting go Keeping the trust of God's flow Slights felt and all troubles given Surrendered knowing we are forgiven The greatest gift is to forget The wrongs done that we regret Being glad in one another's presence Keeping this in mind and conscience Keeping our Christ's cross in mind Leaving the strife and stress behind Love lived in all of the blessed grace I am so grateful for the Lord's embrace (c) February 23, 2020 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
Having missed most of church today, it was time to do a study on my own. Based in part on Mark 1:15:
Blessings of the Future Kingdom by Michael Romani Living in a world that is broken Standing on the promises The Lord has powerfully spoken Living life on the premises Oh, Father are we there yet Crying eyes in the wilderness Want to know if we're near yet Looking for a bit of the blissfulness With the faith of a mustard seed We look toward that tomorrow When the Lord will answer every need Replacing joy for our lives of sorrow In a Digory tree growing in the by and by We look perhaps foolish in our ways Stopping to pause as the world passes by We look toward our sacred end of days The keys of the kingdom can be found By the believing hearts of us all Human sin prevails and seems to abound Until we respond to our Father's call Despite those things that seem reality We need to keep one eye toward the kingdom His true glory is our very own immortality Though the beatitudes are held to so seldom I know that the days will come When with tears wiped from our eyes We will greet our Father's kingdom In a world anew under a sweet sunrise (c) February 23, 2020 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
“Whenever legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” – John Locke
“In a true partnership, the kind worth striving for, the kind worth insisting on, and even, frankly, worth divorcing over, both people try to give as much or even a little more than they get. ‘Deserves’ is not the point. And ‘owes’ is certainly not the point. The point is to make the other person as happy as we can, because their happiness adds to ours. The point is — in the right hands, everything that you give, you get.” – Amy Bloom
When you approach sacred places and times and spaces do you appreciate the transformative moment you are in?
Approached Threhold by Michael Romani Growing up in the present age We are encouraged to seek after sages Seeking our shifts in transformation We pursue inner highways in navigation Traveling at twice the speed of sound And sharing with others what we've found We speak in terms of self-actualization Without seemingly sparking the realization That as we approach the threshold And our inner teacher speaks to scold That all of us who shift in this surrender Are forsaking the fight for being tender We might make the outside world nervous But are actually giving the world our service Offered in the highest love given In pursuing the truths by which we're driven Standing just before the threshold Hand to heart and then hand to ground At peace as each journey unfolds We reverently embrace all truth told All of the ideas we've collided into All of the respective points of view Brings the voyager's new information All transformative in its felt vibration (c) February 22, 2020 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
“Let these truths be indelibly impressed on our minds — that we cannot be happy, without being FREE — that we cannot be free, without being secure in our property— that we cannot be secure in our property, if, without our consent, others may, as by right, take it away — that taxes imposed on us by parliament, do thus take it away.” – John Dickinson
Just say no to communists masquerading as socialists masquerading as Democrats like Bernie Sanders. He may be among the most honest of pick pockets but, he remains a pick pocket. Until he can rationally explain how a man who didn’t have a job until his 40s has 3 houses and a ‘camp’, it seems a bit odd that anyone would think of him as anything less than a grand example of a hypocrite. Moreover, where exactly did the money to buy three homes come from? This inquiring mind would like to know where this across the board lack of basic math skills started for those supporting the Bern. Then we have the related issues of his mandatory minimum wage of $15.00 an hour joined at the hip with his proclamations on healthcare. Again, folks, basic math. $15.00 an hour would put these folks over the limit for ‘free’ (nothing is free) healthcare and would conversely under his tax and health policies equate to these folks having a real income in the neighborhood of less than $7.00 an hour. Basic math… oh and thinking.. both go a long way in approaching politicians who promise what sounds too good to be true. There’s a reason for it. It simply isn’t true.
