welcome to common cathedral.....
this is a very casual place so please know there are not many rules....you can come as you are, it is not required to wear certain clothes, be of a certain race or gender.......it is not even asked that you are of a particular mindset, only that you are open to the ideas and visuals presented here........i would ask that you let it all wash over you without any barriers.....allow it to seep into you like water does into the earth.....what resonates will take root......what does not, please leave so that another may take it into his/her heart.....i am not interested in being revered....what i say or do anyone can....so there is no accent on my "message".....the words you will experience here are for your soul, your heart......they are words which go beyond intellectualization .... they are, like us, part of a larger Whole.....and no one words or group of words is given preference over the rest......there is a place where you can leave words for me.....in fact, i ask of you to....it makes it a sharing in more ways than one....and i truly would like to hear what you have to say.....it takes many notes to make a symphony...and harmony is such a beautiful sound.......please know that these walls have great art hanging on them....the Intent is to create a warm and inviting mood, like coming over and sitting in the front room talking, while waiting for the water to boil for tea, or for me to tune my guitar......there is plenty of text on each page, so feel free to scroll down to the first text and chances are, by the time you finish the first block, all the art will have loaded..... sometimes the images say so much more than the text...at the very least, they complement it....and all of us could use being surrounded by beauty....i know i never shrink from the prospect....*soft smile*......keep an eye on seminar dates and locations, as i play the piano, do poetry readings and teach at them and my heart warms at the thought of spending time with you on the physical plane.......and at this point, i would like to thank all of you for being here and adding your own particular wavelength, as it is a world where none of us are alone......i love each and every one of you, will accept your love in grace and honor and it is my belief that we teach best what we, ourselves, need to learn..... we truly are in this together and that gives me great hope and happiness .....so , please, enjoy yourself...and leave something when you go...links to share, poems of your own....a few brief words....leave whatever it is in this glorious world you may be experiencing and wish to share or release.......with the inclusion of ninety or so poems, there is plenty to do here.....and the site is being added to constantly, perhaps as you read this, so bookmark it and come back often.....it is a sanctuary, of sorts, for anyone and everyone......Spirit knows the way......and, if you enter in Spirit, then you will act accordingly.....and if you stay awhile, you will leave with a definite connection to the Source.......take as much as you want, there's plenty more where That came from.......*vbs*......
mitakuye o'yasin, om mani padme hum, god/goddess bless, namaste.....and whatever else you wish to add that is appropriate.....hope to hear from you.....
with love and a very open heart, alan..........
