Inspirational Verse in the Style of Emily Dickinson-
Ambition cannot find him – By Emily Dickinson – March 10, 2022
Affection doesn’t know
How many leagues of nowhere
Lie between them now.
Yesterday, undistinguished!
Eminent Today
For our mutual honor, Immortality!

How Many Leagues of Nowhere (inspired by E. Dickinson) – HT Wagner
Today is-
Finding where you belong
Tomorrow is a blank slate
Yesterday expired and knit to the cosmic fabric
That is our being – Authentic may be or not
When all that matters – matters not
Walk into tomorrow with happiness
leagues of nowhere – make space
emptiness that fills the void of self
Exalted
Revered
Noteworthiness becoming
Authenticity – holy matrimony
the bond nexus-
The connecting point that forges union
Conjunction of an Concentric coincidence –
Always Mine! – by Emily Dickinson
No more Vacation!
Term of Light this Day begun!
Failless as the fair rotation
Of the Seasons and the Sun.
Old the Grace, but new the Subjects —
Old, indeed, the East,
Yet upon His Purple Programme
Every Dawn, is first.
Dawn and the Depression Shadow – 2011 – HT Wagner
Shadow thoughts…
Exaggerated by fear and distrust-
Makes the perceived or misperceived
Behavior of others – feel like irritation to the psyche-
Rather than taking it personally-
My mother told me that recognizing this and
Choose to be welcoming to them
Reticence and bad temperedness of others is arduous-
But turning it into an offering and
Offering it up to God as a gift to God
Is receiving a grace…
Taking it personally – takes away a grace
Why forfeit things that profit and grace us?
Good and not-so-good friends,
Good time and not-so-good times-
Good tasting food and not-so-good faux food
and spirituality nourishment all…
Can be turned for good – (Plato’s Republic)
All are necessary for our growth-Body, Mind and Soul
Exercising Free Will-
Now we understand the science behind this….
It is located in the Limbic mid-brain-
The Septum ‘gate keeper’ that allows thoughts coming from the Primal binary brain to the Free Will pass to the Insula.-
the Well Spring of grace-
High brain functions prevent depression and dysfunction…
and not shot from the hippocampus – on the right hand side of the Father
Thoughts that are shot from the primal binary brain
Lack sufficient grace to realized God’s Truth
We can get riches-
By entirely refusing to let our feelings get hurt…
Shadow Sadness – Sunday, August 7, 2011 – HT Wagner
Too much mortal light – Ego
Destroys the presence of Shadow-
God is more present in our shadow (soul) than our light (Ego)
The song says-
‘It is no secret what God can do’-
Someone slipped –
Forgot to remember “other”
Find Courage to renew….
Shadow sorrow
Courage to be True
Wait until the darkness is over
Wait for the “sonshine” tomorrow
After the shower is gone
The Son will shine-
Dusk or twilight – deepening darkness
just before – Watch for the break of day…
Mourn the loss
and turn the sadness to Grace
Offer it as a gift to God
For He true his promises
Know He will be in your mind
For He owns it
and will prevent decay
If you are true…
Covenant true…

Ample make this Bed — by Emily Dickinson
Make this Bed with Awe —
In it wait till Judgment break
Excellent and Fair.
Be its Mattress straight —
Be its Pillow round —
Let no Sunrise’ yellow noise
Interrupt this Ground —
Prayer – 2011 – HT Wagner
What I learned about prayer-
I learned from Puppies and Kittens
Sustaining nourishment – taken in increments
Sustenance – Essential for them to have
Cut off from sustenance
They will likely die
Like all –
We are a busy nation
Full of hungry people
“It is all about me”
Asking others to do things for us
Begging off our duties
Eating out
So much time
So little prayer
So much time worship our Ego idols
Trappings-
2nd house
3rd car
Sports at the Coliseum
Where is the Love?
Love and Blessings – 2011 – HT Wagner
All originate exclusively from prayer
Mother Theresa believes that ‘everything comes from prayer’
She is right
Everything enduring comes from prayer
All things transient – brief and passing
Taking pieces of the Soul – as they exit
Leaving but an empty soul
Devoid that could have been appreciated and treasured
Devoid of kindness, compassion
And the essence of good
We are at a precipice of apathy
Ego rules
Our graceless world saunters along
Kidding ourselves that we are “nice people”
Deluding our Soul
By going to church every Sunday
The innocent bystander (Merton)
The invitation to Pray – 2011 – HT Wagner
Use church to connect
To a community
Works of charity are good
And necessary
Praying is also a work of charity
Spending time in reverent meditation
Dumps a boat-load of grace into
“Our Connected Subconscious”
Every prayer does not go unnoticed
They are not waste
Prayers empower the world
And it seems to be a little thin right now
God Slipped Out – 2011 – HT Wagner
My cat – Gunther is a “Godly” cat
When I seek him
He runs away
If I sit quiet – he will approach
And purr
He feeds me with his warmth and a gentle spirit
I feed him to keep him around for another day
He entertains me by
Showing his nimbleness with a ball
He brings me dead mice to show off His hunting prowess-
Endearing he is!
Winding Down – HT Wagner
December – 2011
Ready to retire….
Mood full of shortcomings
Eat too much
Even though the right food-but still, is it needed?
A bit of wine, but should I cut it entirely?
Thoughts are random and scattered
Where is the Love?
I ask again
Love is all that matters
Matters most when matter is gone
What creates love?
Where does it come from?
Why bother with love?
Steals energy – If not true
We are all at the mercy of our desires
Desires surface
Need for rest
Happiness –
Hitch all to the spirit for a ride to the end
Cave to the urges-
Urges Empty
God – seen through a tube
Only Because God is the tube
May be missing the point of God
Soulmates and Soul Friends– HT Wagner- 2011
All relationships lead to soulmate?
Forget the bother of life without God?
Remember it is you who He loves
He is jealous and protective-to a point…
You draw the line and He is waiting there…
Approach-
Free will is all He gives to cling to
To draw on
To make you his own-
Dancing with God…
It all that needs to happen..
It is intoxicating and thrilling
Electrifying…
It will arouse the very heart of you
If the superfluousness of the world belies
The rancor of the malevolent selfish world
ejects and dispels the hint of chance to win the lottery
and be beyond sludge
and be a piece of God…
God Makes Sunsets – 2011 – HT Wagner
Just for me to show me his Craftsmanship
He brings in the fog, rain, thunder and snow
To let me know that He is still in charge
So if within – God is not found
Look around clues – reminders
His Showcase – His Greatness
Creation Corrections – 2011 – HT Wagner
Financial markets have corrections
To maintain equilibrium and stability
So does Creation
Same dynamics
Supply interruptions–Drive up the costs
Equilibrium
Water finds its own level
Wars – The carving knife of creation
Balance and thin – the population
Wars remove the cancer in society
Wars are fought with the Y chromosome carrier
The Knights
Conquistadors
All warriors over time
Planting their seeds
Was the real conquest
Natural disasters
Serve to make humanitarians out of us all
Bring other together
Cogs of Creation –
God’s Eye View – 2011 – HT Wagner
Creation is not unkind
Only like balancing a checking account
With a savings account-
Thoughts are Profound Critters -2011 – HT Wagner
Most of the time – Complex – they are
Thoughts are created in the Third Eye
Behind the two with which we spy
Its function is to filter
It is better known as the
Seat of Free Will
Presumed or Negative thoughts
All must past through
Negative thoughts from
Prehistoric thinking gear
Weigh heavily on
The Connected Subconscious
Sinking like lead
They are reported as “incoming”
Mind eye has to choose if it is True
Distorted or drunk—and
Needs to be “parked” outside-
So as not to muck up the works
Scholarly, happy/sad, and proper thoughts
Are welcomed with open arm
They bring all things good
Happiness, holiness, good humor
And buckets of grace nuggets for the
Collected Unconscious treasury reserves-
The Shade is Closing – 2011 -HT Wagner
The brightness dims
Night is upon us
Rigor sets in
But it is all for fun
Fun for some
But not or all
The wallflowers come out
Timid – no more
The street sweepers
Sweep under cover
Milk man brings fresh milk
For children asleep
The sun masks the face of the night
Exposed for all to see
Confession of sort
Senses the remorse
Yields silently to the
Noonday “Son”
Shadow – August 2011 – HT Wagner
Shadow of the Cross
Went to the ‘desert on a horse with no name’…
Hebrews and their portable protein – dairy –
A new software upgrade on an IBM mainframe
Creation—Develop Ani-Anemus
Opposites-
(also known as Yin-Yang) – until they are balanced
Hebrew Bedouin nomadic tribe chosen (2000BC)
To lead & implement the project of creation
Using portable protein – dairy
God being the project manager..
God is more present in our shadow (soul)
Than our mortal light (Ego)
Ego oblivious to the Spirit within
Ego bends Truth (often against the recommendation of the Soul) to suit his pleasure or need
Ego’s decisions – centered on controlling his environment- others when he has the opportunity
Ego is hardwired – strong sex drive – survival of the species
Ego selfish – not altruistic-
not compassionate to others outside the tribe
Ego decision making is based on presumption—
which is only a ‘thin slice’ of Truth—
Feelings get hurt which leads to anger, distrust, prejudice, hatred and a host of other sins-
Seen by the Unseen God-
Agape Love Transformed from Truth – April 2011 – HT Wagner
With a twist of the Divine
and happens
Beatific and holy – Rapturous
2nd chakra….
I see truth, candor, certitude
I see love
Love without Truth is fiction
It is only a shadow of my love for You
There is no room for pretense to hide
Where the Truth walks
I am is beside you
Where the Truth speaks
I respond
It is my sustenance
It is my being
My touchstone and standard
My template for my soul
Its existence is my existence
My reality – When it is evaded
My center folds into a vacuum of nothingness
My heart beat-less
My life incomprehensible – Hallow and purposeless
Tomorrow becomes blank and foreign
and never come
I am bound to be with you.

Your Presence is Being Felt- April 2011 – HT Wagner
All around
with the People I meet
The people that I know
There is a air of welcoming amongst us
Where do we go from here?
When one cannot find words
One can Pray-
Wealth is but for the wealthy
Riches – the Fruits of the Holy Spirit
Rich in the flavor and favor of God
Truth and trust go hand in hand
One begets the other…
It is all in our minds
Phantom of the Opera
Story of a beast
Giving rise to the beauty of goodness and love
Primal instincts – do not depart
or become the framework for tomorrow
Not unlike – Puff the Magic Dragon
the Beast must be tied and sealed with
Jackie Papers (John’s Gospels)
To allow the next generation to
build a world of peace and love
Not one of pride & prejudice, control, lust,
gluttony, envy-
All hard fought for,
But no longer functional in a modern world.
If they only new.
Be blessed and refuse to look back
Those ways are self-defeating
Cruel
Thoughtless
Others are superfluous to them
Where as Others should be the centerpiece.
For which the model is built.

End to Homelessness
