Thunder, Perfect Mind


I am the first and the last
I am the scorned one and the honored one
I am the whore and the holy one
I am the wife and the virgin
I am the barren one, and countless are my children
I am the silence that is incomprehensible
I am the utterance of my name


from The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels.

FRAGMENT OF A POEM


by John Trudell

For two thousand seasons
We fall
We rise
We fall
We rise

Bedtime Prayer


by Rumi Jalaluddin.

I died as mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal.
I died as animal and I was human.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die human,
To soar with angels blessed above.
And when I sacrifice my angel soul
I shall become what no mind ever conceived.

as quoted by Kim Stanley Robinsonin the novel "Red Mars".
