In the Beginning was the Word –
Ogham, or Om, or I Am
We will never know for sure
and we don’t need to
to do what needs doing
to tend the Tribe
to love everyone
to love the Earth
to seek the Serpent’s Egg
Will you journey with me tonight,
oh child of wonder,
beloved of starlight?
I will guide you and keep you safe
Look upon me now
Look well
Do you know me?
I was a Druid once
but I became the Word
Look upon my face
oh child of Galaxies long dead
See my eyes like stars
my mouth shining with words
my forehead glowing with heat
The fires of inspiration consumed me
and made me more whole
than even old Thoth could have imagined,
and I am He as well
Look upon me and know me
I am Ogma, Sun Face
In your parlance
The Most High And Holy Lord
of the Information Superhighway
To And From the Divine Mind,
The One Who Is All,
The All Who Is One
Who Made Us Up.
Will you journey with me now?
There are things you are ready to see
dearest child of supernovas
Take my hand, and don’t let go
Hang on for dear life
We fly, we fly
Through Space and Time
back to the Beginning
back before the Word
Are you still with me,
oh child of collapsing singularities?
The Universe is rewinding for you
as we travel back, back
deeper and older in time
Hold tight, for the chaos
is going to increase exponentially
the closer we get
to the Veil of all Veils
Look there, oh babe
born of star nurseries
Just a few billion more miles
and we’ll be through
to the back of beyond
where not even the most powerful telescope
on the farthest traveling spacecraft
can see, let alone go
Hold tight to my hand, beloved
Watch as stars are born in reverse
Supernovas implode
Collapsing galaxies blossom
and yet we keep going
into the heat and the chaos
We are moments away now
From witnessing the Universal birth
oh beautiful child
of long-spent nebulae
Seconds away now
Are you ready?
Can you feel it,
oh child of every reality?
The pressure and heat
would have killed you lightyears ago
in your human form
Here we go, through the veil
Hold on tight, I will keep you safe
Ah, come close and hold onto me
Rest your head on my breast
oh light of dark matter
Birth is always a little painful
But here we are, safe on the other side
Open your eyes and look
What do you see
Is it terrifying, or beautiful
or both, like you?
Do you want to stay?
Forever means nothing
Here means nothing
Stay means nothing, too
Oh my transcendent beloved
the choice is yours
Stay here, and mean nothing
or create the Universe
all over again
Of course you can!
All you have to do is
say The Word
and the Universe will become
Oh child of infinite potentiality
say The Word
and it all starts up again
Affirm yourself
for You are God
Ready?
Om . . . . . . . . .
Ogham . . . . . . . . .
I Am . . . . . . . . .
Hold tight to me
oh brilliant singularity
lest you be scattered
like stardust
to live forever apart
We fly, we fly
Billions of years pass
between heartbeats
because You are God
Oh child from beyond time
watch it become
You made this
The Multiverse if the child
of your own womb
Slow now, hovering
over a small blue-green world
Have you ever seen
more beauty than this?
You made this, too
oh child of a billion star mothers
and it is from you
and of you
and you belong to it
It is your own child
and your own Mother
this small blue-green globe
your heart’s home
Are those tears in your eyes
oh jewel of every galaxy?
Let your love for this world overflow
in the depths of who you are
Allow this love to overwhelm you
Gaia! Home!
Now let loose my hand
And slip from me
gently, slowly
Find your way back
oh child of a million tender mercies
and settle into your home
and feel the love radiating
from Gaia’s heart
Now slowly, slowly awake
Remember every detail
every moment of our journey
Carry with you
for the rest of your days
in this body
the memory
and the love
and the Word
