so long cold...

been so long cold
cold inside out
ain’t got no love, only doubt
cold outside in
ain’t got no life, only sin
cold to the bone
ain’t got no nothin’, all alone
don’t know when i’ll have ta’ fold
been so long cold

 
been so long
cold

the cleansing...

no matter what she tried and tried

her heart from inside out had cried

but from herself she could not hide

then she felt the sound of her tears
struggling to drown the ghosts of her fears
keeping them with her always near

sorrow trickling down her face
washing away love’s lost grace
leaving her soul without a trace

the claim of the forest...

it is not so much for its beauty
that the forest makes a claim
upon men's hearts,
as for that subtle something,
that quality of air
that emanation from old trees,
that so wonderfully changes
and renews a weary spirit -

to wonder...

 men go abroad to wonder

at the heights of mountains

at the huge waves of the sea

at the long courses of the rivers

at the vast compass of the ocean

at the circular motions of the stars

and they pass by themselves without wondering -

blood red moon...

blood red moon

in midnight black

touching you

touching me

 blood red moon

in velvet light

kissing you

kissing me 

blood in the moon

cries love’s tune
sadness to stay
and we both pay 

blood in the moon
love gone too soon
tears in my heart
why did we part

wish i might
have my wish
come true this night
of

blood red moon

what are your secret places?

i have led you into

the secret places

of your soul -

now you must

find them again -

this time

by yourself -

tell me, what is...

What is the appropriate behaviour 

for a man or a woman 

in the midst of this world, 

where each person is clinging 

to his piece of debris? 

What is the proper salutation 

between people as 

they pass each other in this flood?

ESPERANZA by Trish MacGregor - BOOK REVIEW

 travel to ESPERANZA and into yourSELF

 

For starters, I will begin by telling you what ESPERANZA is NOT - yes, what it is NOT - now I do not ever like to begin anything with a “negative” of any kind - however, in this case, with this book, it is the only way to proceed - so here is what it is NOT:

ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical work of fiction!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical suspense novel!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical thriller!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical science fiction!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical paranormal read!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical historical novel!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical mystical experience!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical love story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical life after death book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical reincarnation story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical spiritual journey story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical time-travel book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical spirit world trip!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical mystery!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical metaphysical instructional manual!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical book on spirit possession!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical tourist guide book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical ghost story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical saga of the struggle between the good and evil!

ESPERANZA is ALL those things!  

IT IS ALL OF THEM! 

BUT, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever average or typical about this book!  NOTHING! 

ESPERANZA is the extraordinary tale of two strangers who meet under extraordinary circumstances in an extraordinary setting [a place in the Andes called ESPERANZA which means “hope”] and whose paths lead them on an even greater extraordinary journey - a journey filled with mysticism and adventure and love - love beyond mere physical love - a love that “transcends time and death” and an adventure into the unknown, the unlived and into a life beyond death, where the two of them hold the key to the time-old mystical battle fought among the living and the good and the bad spirit worlds -

In ESPERANZA you will meet and come to know the beautiful native people whose magnificent ancient Incan heritage is alive and well today!

In ESPERANZA you will walk the “...shadowed, cobbled streets of...this...old town...where your...eyes must adjust to the antiquity, the brilliant colors, the poverty...where your senses...don’t know which cue to follow - the scents or the colors, the touch of the past, the music that energizes the air...or...the taste of the foods...”

In ESPERANZA you will come to know in a familiar way the intriguing characters involved in this magnificent story - them and their families - you will come to think of them outside the covers of this book - you will think of them as you go about your daily routine - you will think of them!

In ESPERANZA you will not only follow Tess and Ian and Dominica and Ben on their own journeys, you will find yourself making your own personal quest into this world, the other world, and into yourSELF!

Above and beyond all, ESPERANZA is a mesmerizing tale of mystery, mysticism, adventure and love - and HOPE - in a setting you will long remember and a tale which will leave you not just wanting more, but needing more - of the work of its author, TRISH MACGREGOR!
 

Available at Amazon!

So, stay tuned for the sequel!!!

[Just as an aside, I’m also contacting the Trish to let her know of my availability for playing either of the main female characters in the movie!   Oh, yes, this has to be a movie!  See you in the theatres!!!]

 

========================================

Most of you are by now very familiar with our friends and neighbors here in blogland, Trish and Rob MacGregor, http://ofscarabs.blogspot.com/.  Their last book, The 7 Secrets of Synchronicity is now available at bookstores everywhere.  In the event you’ve not yet read this great book, you are doing yourself a disservice.  Leave here and go immediately to your nearest bookstore or click over to Amazon and get your copy of this one, too.  Now.

As an aside, if you are not a regular blogger here and you are wondering why the name MacGregor sounds a bit familiar to you, it could be because they are both award winning authors whose non-fiction books include subjects of dreams, astrology, yoga and animal symbolism and paranormal phenomena such as UFO’s.   Rob MacGregor has appeared on several major television network channels and also wrote Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and six other of the Indiana Jones original novels.  The fictional work of Trish MacGregor is replete with subjects of time travel, micro-chipping of animals and people, vanishings, parallel existences, governmental involvement and cover-ups, and more.  Check them both out at Amazon.  Do it now - don’t wait.

to the big boy jelly baby...

bon appetit

to fly through fields of cobalt blue...

sorrows that have crippled you
will soon give you wings
to fly through fields of cobalt blue
and hear the angels sing

the crucible...

she no longer had thoughts of her own

her own mind to her now unknown

the air she breathed no longer the same

her lungs inhaling particles of shame

light and darkness no longer distinguishable

her eyes blinded to all but the holy crucible

days became nights and nights became nights without end

no longer could she pretend

she no longer had thoughts of her own

tonight, i'm...

goin’ to bed
just at dark
shut my door
open my heart
no words spoken
nothing said
leavin’ that world behind
shutin’ out its distractions
distractions of the day

nothin' there for me

in that world of reality
goin’ into my night

the night of my heart
where only we exist
goin’ into my night
where i wanna stay
travelin’ into my thoughts
my thoughts of you
where time is uninterrupted
and hours don’t exist
findin’ that place with you
all i wanna do
goin’ into the night
into the darkness
goin’ into my darkness
the darkness of me and you
where blackest black is my only guide
the beacon of you calling me
like a moth to the flame
where love is no game
where love is the way
the only way
leading me straight to you
to us to our space our time
our love our life the only life
that is ours
life in the darkness
our love we confess
goin’ all the way in
into the darkness that is ours
lockin’ them out
lockin’ us in
into the darkness
the darkness of us
the darkness of
all things possible
the darkness of
my thoughts

of

you

dancin' on the edge...

never had no one to hold dear

always perched on the ledge

never really had no fear
of dancin’ on the edge
never had no one to hold dear

she was not afraid...

there was nothing

          she did not shrink

that he could tell her

          his words did not deter

that she did not

          he was her lot

already know

          her love she did bestow

and yet she stayed

          for his love she had prayed

she

was not

afraid

the holy trine

they come

they come
their hearts upon the drum

they come from another place
another time
from the dark recesses
of our mind

and soar on wings unseen
the tribal elders to convene

they speak in
voices still unknown
to the lion upon the throne

and from their kingdom come
the will of them be done

by the gods’ design
of the holy trine

the human to extol
and have our souls made whole

so we must now our sins atone
and in the end we’ll be shown

the way to die without death
and breathe again another breath

they come
their hearts upon the drum

they come

our

will

be

done

you - a thousand kisses deep...

you

your words

into my heart seep

a thousand kisses deep

and in my dreams them i keep

 

the attraction...

whatever relationships you have attracted

in  your life at this moment

are precisely the ones 

you need in your life at this moment -

there is a hidden meaning 

behind all events and

this hidden meaning is 

serving your own 

evolution!

vanilla dreams...

come to me
in the night
with my soul ignite

glide your way
into my bed
whisper words unsaid 

slide your way
into my sleep
where love we’ll keep

for who knows
when and where
we may meet

besides in
midnight dreams
of vanilla cream

so lay with me in vanilla dreams
where love flows free in silent streams
die with me that sweet sweet death
then live again in passion’s breath
