Battle*


Father...do not worry for me today. Sleep for a time, as I.
Gather the Cedars and Rock around you.
Be content.
Be still for a short while.
I have gathered branches of Yew and Water of the Mother...
I have gathered History and compassions of Women
Who stand guard under evergreens in Winter. I have found
The Rowan Tree.

Father...do not guilt me with future knowledge. I learned...
Of children, who run under the darkness of Osiris,
Brave to play in rain that has showered madmen. Children
Who do not know that skulls smile, that water redeems
Without Baptism. That everYou loved them.

Father...do not send my mother. Dead trees do not give
Shelter. Nor rocks, water. I drown content. Do not interupt.
Stay as you are...fragments and laughter.
Do not send the woman of dry plains and dust...spiders and
Guile. Beads and acid...she would
Surrender.

Father...send the Unicorn that did not die, the white raven, and
A martyr who does not rule from the tomb...I have Battles to
Attend...Predators to contain...Foundations and Pits.

Father...do not worry for me. Today. Perhaps tomorrow, when
The Beast escapes and becomes...
Roses.
When Hell disappears, and there is only Heaven. Dealing with
Only Angels is dangerous. In that Heaven is darkness...and
Demons of innocence.

Father...there is Battle at hand. Know that I have slept under the
Hills of Changlings...worn Gold.
Drowned in the waters of unfortunate captains and whistling
Dolphins. Drowned in the folly of waiting women, taken to foam
And tides.
Do not ask.

Gather to the Cedars and Rock. Rest for a short while. Be content.
Women stand guard for you under the darkness of trees. I have
Sent the Mother to watch.
I know where you are. Be content. Do not worry or ask.
I wear Ancient Armor.

It will be Time, shortly.
I stand under the evergreens, waiting and watching.
The Lady of the Rowan Tree stands near, watching...
Waiting.
Father...Battle is at hand.
Father...it is Time.

I don't know the artists name. The background is a swirl with several patterns (including a star pattern). The man has a goatee, is skiny, has a walking stick, black top hat, and black gloves in one hand, and a white flower in the other hand like he's giving it to someone.

Is that irony... or is it like a "coming full circle" type thing?

Either way, I've always thought it had some sort of deeper meaning... or maybe I should stop thinking so hard about trash bags.

Are You Wrong


To tell me God
Is not in my hands...

When I look at all
He has created in

Four fingers, one
Thumb...

Do you ask the
Cosmos....

Eternity...when I have
All in my
Hands?

and that oftentimes you can't tell people, whether it's your family or friends , because they will try to talk you out of it while in reality you know it's what you should and in the end it will probably only help.

If so, what type of book is it?
And can you share some tips on how to find a great agent? Or do you have to submit to them and if they think they can sell your work they'll take you on?
ANY tips are appreciated...
Thanx!

If you atheists think you're so smart, than why would you think there is an answer to the big bang? The big bang created the universe, which you are in and can't escape. There is basically no explanation to it so just drop it!

It's easy to get caught up in pessimism and undoubtedly some things will be bad in the future. But what are some positive aspects of our future here on the planet? What would you like to live longer in able to see happen? What do we have to look forward to?

ok, I have a couple of questions, what is the average amount of money you pay a talent agent, and it says that you should have an 8 by 10 picture. How do you know what picture to choose, do they just want your face, or your whole body? I need some serious help, and if I need to know anything else, please let me know. Thanks so much!!!
