where darkness gives way
to her luminescent shape,
energy remains

*
I was listening to that George Noory fellow on the radio one night last week while driving home. He was talking to someone who suggested that perhaps things we perceive as ghostly visions could well be leftover energy. Energy doesn’t begin or end in the classic sense; it merely transfers from one form to another. So the idea of ghosts being the energy leftovers of what they were before made sense to me.

While I’ve never seen anything I’d refer to as a ghost, I do believe, as Teilhard de Chardin suggested, we are spiritual beings having a physical experience and not the other way around. From that paradigm, energy as an element of spirit doesn’t seem far-fetched at all.

I haven’t written overtly about politics around here, and I haven’t a been a guest blogger in years, so I was pleased when Spencer of A Rubber Door recently invited some of us who read his site to air our thoughts on the coming election. I’ve taken him up on that offer, as have several other folks. If you’re into such subject matter, I encourage you to head over and take in the guest contributions so far and chip in with a comment or two (perhaps even a post?).

To read the thoughts I offered, click here. But please also check out the other offerings in the “Not Spencer” series at A Rubber Door.

whoever will wield
the wisdom of Solomon,
instead of the sword.

the whispering trees
leave the shrubbery taunted
by airborne secrets.

I’ve been one to keep
wanting and waiting for things
just beyond my reach.
