It is not unusual for the mind of man to automatically gravitate to that with which it has a beef. First off, in the overriding culture of today, we have accustomed ourelves to thinking with the analytical part of our brain (if we think at all), and in that mode of "linear thinking" we seek to find the flaw ... (this, I believe, is a natural side-effect of our inherent perfection hunger). In this way, we satisfy the abstract part of our brain that we have brought balance and harmony, when in fact, we have merely focused on the negative instead of the positive. This is the unfortunate side-effect of the prevailing mind-set in our overriding culture, but this post is not about our overriding culture. It is about Arie's creative expression and its subsequent feedback.

my poetry abound. take a breath and further... deeper in your mind. the thoughtless thoughts you thinketh... the feelings of forget... go deeper in this mind... you may a fear to go... but climb with me forgiveness. let's climb deeper in the snow.... peace and purity is here you may not know the feeling steer... but let us climb aboard the peace... and go to the neverending wonder.
"Climb with me forgiveness." That's a great place to start a new analytical appreciation of this lovely and tender expression. It really is a "climb" up and out of the hole we dig for ourself when we develop a resentment against something someone has done or said or been. It takes effort. "Climb deeper in the snow" is part of the process. It's cold there, in pure truth, where we slog on to discover our own part of the offense, the expectations we had, the hopes that were dashed. "Climb aboard the peace" is what we have to do to continue our journey.
It's a lovely allegory for the ascension plan, as I see it. Arie's poetry abounds, indeed. It feels good in there. It glides trippingly on the mind, lilting and soft-spoken. It takes the ice-cold shards of broken glass we encounter in our experiences and arranges them thoughtfully so as not to get cut, but to see a kaleidoscopic view of "neverending wonder."
