Voices from the Past

“We commit unto the tides of history
the vast knowledge that has heretofore been hidden
from the common view,
Knowing that this precious store of untold lives
lives on in those who know not the tree
from whence they came.

These lives that live in but a mere fraction of time and space
are connected forever to the vines
of both past and future in ways beyond imagining.
They reach to all levels of being and all times of knowing,
and touch, through the infinite worlds,
the lives of what came before.

In this sense the past and future are intimately
bound to the present.
None can undo these ties which shape each other
and are shaped by each other.
Only knowing this can help restore to the awareness
that floats in time,
the sacred knowledge of its bonds
with all that went before.”
