the flood

i was by a river, and i knew it was coming. it had been foretold. the droplets fell on my face as a prelude to the great surge to come. the sky darkened and the river swelled, its banks submerged and bursting under the increasing flow... there was no delaying the innevitable now.
i moved upwards, through the field, trying to get up, up, and i was not prepared.
i knew it was coming but had not prepared. why?
i had made a boat, yes, but it was at this most critical moment i understood that i hadn't thought of what would happen on the boat - it would probably still continue to rain, and to be freezing cold, but i had no coat, nothing to shield me from the storm.
there was no rope, nothing to anchor the boat

hi Yunus,

I don't understand this post of yours. What does anchoring of the boat refers to?

well that's hard to know... the dream was still fresh when I wrote it, but now it's unclear. perhaps it's got something to do with being adrift in dangerous waters with no way to find security, so you could be blown in any direction..
then again, dreams are very hard to explain - things may not be what they seem.

this could be the end of everything, but it really isn't...

oh readers, it's been so long since we've traded words it's almost been forgotten how we could analyse what has and will be, what turns the tide has taken and the ramifications for all. we're still part of a grand plan, the one known by our Lord and Creator, but within that are webs of plans made by smaller fries, the 'big fish' who wish to control you, their financers. they need you to remain under their control, so that they can squeeze your wealth from you and thereby retain their power, their hold on the world. however, we should not fear them. the only One to fear is God alone. now we've heard it all and watch normality slip from under our feet, as the fabled carpet is swiped from beneath our toes and our perception of time and reality slows. we lose our balance and our grip, our abilities slip and we wallow in the mire, controlled by our desires but powerless to do anything about it and drown.. the only refuge is to call on God our Refuge, our Aid. ...

The Veil

Dear people, the wool's being pulled over our eyes. Yes, we are being blinded so convincingly that we lap up the lies and let our hearts be guided and follow the powers-that-be into their dens of falsehood. We hear that in France, there has been a ban on the veil - well in effect that is what has occurred, Muslim women wearing a full face veil (which is their right in Islam) will be considered criminals, and will shortly have to pay fines if they wear these pieces of cloth in public. This may lead to imprisonment, and no doubt will create some kind of backlash from French Muslims, further cementing their 'extremist' position in the eyes of the rest of France. Now there's still a chance that this will not occur, see here , but why does something like this occur? What does it mean? What effects might something like this produce? These MPs, living in a country supposedly built on freedom and equality, have effectively forbidden free women from their right to wear what ...

stranger

Here sits a stranger, a reflection, of a perfection he wishes to acheive. Hoping to embody a fragment of light- perhaps even outshine the sun. While sons of past seekers wander 'round; Their ancestors were keepers of the keys, to open mysteries, beyond second sight, of What was before anything was begun. Sadly now the keys have been passed on, But the keepers imagine them, in their hands- Because matter has dulled their hearts, and they think they've nothing left to find. Now they see the stranger, and he sees them- But perhaps they exist on different plains. Maybe he has inherited the keys, Still waiting for history to unwind. They laugh at the stranger's ...
