Of comings and goings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is come \u2013<\/p>\n
The purpose is come, the time is come,<\/p>\n
We have come:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coming is the difference between life and death:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A being lives his entire life in a desert, a wilderness,<\/p>\n
Thinking the routines he knows are the reality that is,<\/p>\n
When in fact, the facades he sees, the products he<\/p>\n
Worships are nothing but smoke and mirrors, smoke<\/p>\n
Because they sure as ice \u2018aint fire, mirrors because<\/p>\n
They reflect whatever image we wish to see.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It will be when you come into the Land
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
That G-d gives you as an inheritance<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This being then comes into a Land, a consciousness, a<\/p>\n
State of mind and heart that does not allow for the shell<\/p>\n
To become the fruit, does not allow for the hardened<\/p>\n
Plastic of the iPod to divert from the inner sound of the<\/p>\n
Music, does not allow for the flesh of the body to imprison<\/p>\n
The flame of the soul.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What is the difference between a desert and an oasis?<\/p>\n
What is the difference between a comatose carcass and<\/p>\n
A breathing body \u2013 they are both made of the same earth,<\/p>\n
Both have the same limbs, both of the same material?<\/p>\n
Ah, but they differ in that one is come, come, come to<\/p>\n
Life, passion and purpose, while the other lies decaying<\/p>\n
And alone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Life is coming completely into a certain consciousness:<\/p>\n
One can be alive without actually living, go through the<\/p>\n
Motions, move the limbs, do the do, but remain as dead as<\/p>\n
Radio silence.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(I\u2019m coming, says the perverbial summa cum loudest;<\/p>\n
But saying and doing are two different things.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Life, to come one must come completely \u2013 and that only<\/p>\n
Happens when one comes to possess, to settle, to dwell\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And you possess it and settle it<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If one just comes to be where it\u2019s at, but runs from<\/p>\n
Any challenge is that really coming?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If one comes to a realization but stays away from<\/p>\n
Being real is that truly coming?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One can come, alone, without neighbors and friends,<\/p>\n
Come to a certain clarity while the rest are still vague,<\/p>\n
But is that really coming into a Land, is that entering<\/p>\n
A state of peace and harmony?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can come to the Land, its borders and limitations;<\/p>\n
Or you can come into the Land, into its possibilities and<\/p>\n
Dreams.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coming into our own is coming with a<\/p>\n
Knowledge that if I come but you remain<\/p>\n
Behind, if I have settled my issues but yours<\/p>\n
Are still unsettling, if I have possessed my<\/p>\n
Part but you are still dispossessed\u2026<\/p>\n
Then I haven\u2019t truly come \u2013<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It will be when you come into the Land<\/i> \u2013<\/p>\n
Come not as a guest but as an inhabitant<\/p>\n
Come not gingerly as a man to a foreign house<\/p>\n
But come proudly as a man to a familiar home<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Come not into somebody else\u2019s ideas or thoughts<\/p>\n
But come into your own, your own self, your own<\/p>\n
Home \u2013<\/p>\n
Your own Land<\/p>\n
