Thanksgiving To God, The Earth Mothers and All Who Serve 

Ann Essance, Mother's Day 2018

Part 1:

That I live here love here smile here cry and dry my eyes here is a Gift a Miracle!

That the Good God of All grants me Life here through the trillions of breaths taken

Unconsciously made whole with just the thought of "I Am Conscious!"

Moving and shaking even when I feel stuck taking those Sacred Breaths for granted

But today I bow and say "Thank You!" Thank you for giving me Life Hope

And the Courage and Will to Live this Life a good life no matter how sparse it seems at times

A Simple Life amidst complexities all around in the Presence of Almighty God

The Angels and Mankind traveling the Path of Peace with us Especially

To Love Incarnate the Gift of Christ Consciousness the Word Made Flesh Ayeshua*

Elder Brother Redeemer from the Highest Frequencies to the Lowest Density I say:

"Holy Holy Holy Lord God of Power and Might Heaven and Earth are filled with God's Glory

Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the Highest Amen (Rev:19:9-10)

 

Part 2:

To My Brothers and Sisters

As we cross into Forever let us join together with a resounding Thank You for all Experiences

Thank you to Mothership Earth Provider of our Sustainable Resources who Together with

Brother Sun Sister Moon and the Cosmos work Unceasingly on our behalves without whom

Manifested Life here would not be possible We Breathe in the Offering of Beauty for Ashes

That We may Fly High like the Phoenix as Guardians of Life to Breathe in Life then

Exhale That Others may more fully Know Theirs___

 

*Ayeshua-- the name created for Jesus, in unison, for Volumes 1 & 2 , Tapestry In Time...A Woven Memory 

OUR MOTHER I

Our Mother

Who art the Earth       hallowed be thy bounty

Thy evolution come Thy will be done

Just as it generates within the Heart of Heaven

 

Give us this day our daily sustenance

And forgive us for defiling your beauty

And wasting your Gifts

 

We unconditionally forgive those

Whose ignorance seeks to destroy Life

Leading us into annihilation

 

Oh! Mother!

Save us from ourselves!

 

Lead us not into harm and danger

That we may prosper your gifts

That you, Oh, Mothership Earth

In Peace may prevail!

Amen and Amen

Activity: (for children and adults)

1. Gather friends/family together, or do alone

. (This can be more fun with others...)

2. Using a sheet of paper/pen or pencil per person

3. Take the word "Earth"

4. See how many words you can get from the wonderful gift of the name "Earth"...

5. The next time you do this, add another word...such as, "the Earth" or "Water Earth"

5. Now go to the "calendar of events page...What do you see?

6. Enjoy the process.

7. The one with the most words formed from this creative game, gets to put the "other word" in front or back.

8. Do this with other planets in our solar system, as well. (then the Earth will have some company.)

OUR MOTHER II

Ann Essance, Copyright,2018

Our Mother    Who Art the Earth

You give us your bounty without reserve without question

Answering our every need

 

 

It is our darkened ignorance that blinds us to your generosity

Your warmth your beauty

Darkness has created fear of lack in Humanity

Rampaging us into Greediness

With seeds sown in Violence toward Ourselves

And You Oh! MotherShip Earth

 

 

In so doing this Blind Ignorance has left us

Pitifully Divided from ourselves and you

This horrendous lack of Understanding

Has manifested Lack and Poverty

Rather than Abundance and Balance

 

 

In order for this to Change

And It Must!

We Must Change We Must Mature

In Loving Civility and Integrity

We Must Grow into the Flow of Love

For All Beings who Inhabit

Your Earth Body

Our Only Home

 

Quiet and Centered Within in Your Core

Beyond the Crust of Violence and Raging Fire

Peace Lives

 

Quiet and Centered in Our Core

Beyond resentment that harvests Ill-Will

Our Hearts...Our Sacred Hearts

Humbly Come

 

This Quietness This Solitude

This Reflection

Within

Is where New Ideas and Answers Manifest

For that is how Symbiotic Relationships between

God and Creation Co-Exist Co-Create

All Things New

In Silence In Darkness

Just as All Seeds Do But

Seeds must be allowed to Germinate in Patience

 

Life can flourish when we get our Priorities

In Alignment with God's Alignment

In a Plan for Heaven and Earth to Create as One

Heaven on Earth

All Life is Sacred in its Unique Forms

All Life...

 

Our Selfish Ignorance wishes to judge otherwise

To be Superior calling all else Inferior

But Look...look at the havoc and despair that attitude

And atmosphere brings Leaving Life's puzzle abandoned

Wrecking Life with wars and rumors of war

 

Oh Mother! Ageless Planetary Provider

Hear our cries of desperation

That we may become Responsible Participants

in God's Plan for Redemption

Mature in Knowledge and Wisdom

With Characters Clean of Dense Darkness

For the sake of all Life now and to come

For the Sake of Love to Love to Know Love

For the Sake of Humanity...and Humanity to Come

For All Life to Come...

That we may see Within Ourselves     the Many Reflections of God

Amen and Amen

PRAYER OF FORGIVENESS AND TRANSFORMATION

_______Ann Essance, copyright_____________________________________

In my most precious gift of free will, I forgive and seek forgiveness of all I have transgressed.

I enlist the Divine Mystery and Mercy of God in transforming the dark and stormy areas of my

misjudgments, through the internal conflicts and warfare within myself that I have spilled onto

my fellowmen; and failed to take personal responsibility for.

I envision myself whole and complete, radiating Light, Love and the Joy of Heaven

To all who come my way. I use my creative power

to make Peace my priority and a living reality for myself and others.

I generously share harmony, kindness, compassion, and tolerance, as a living reality...

Even when it may not be so easy. Let me always remember that Love

Is my true wealth to give and to receive. Help me learn that I am worthy also to receive.

I pledge to offer my very best, every moment as I live, breathe and have my being in You,

God, of and in all beings, God of all Universes, God of all Creation.

Amen and Amen.

Unfurling the Petals of Love

Ann Essance, October, 2019

Hail Mary filled with grace blessed art thou among the stars

Blessed is your womb that nurtured the Christ Consciousness

We hail you      as Queen of the Holy Rosary

We thank you    for being our protectress on our journey  

Oh! Galactic Rose    Be with us Now

And Always    on our Journey Home! Amen

Even in our brokenness there is a seed waiting to sprout into new LIfe, again. And then there's the bridge...Thank God for bridges... Bridges help mend our lives in many ways. Honor them, don't break them, unless you must."

Prayer of Declaration A New Day

"We Are 'Mary'"

In Jewish antiquity, the name "Mary" had a "generic" or

common meaning that was oftern used as a salutation

in the marketplace.

We are most familiar with "Mary" as the mother of the Messiah,

and less familiar with the "Mary" known as the

repentant prostitute . . .

The following poem addresses both archetypes. 

We are Mary in our travails

We are Mary in all our "Hails!"

We are Mary in the pearl from shale

We are Mary in all our whails

We are Mary! 

 

We are Mary in the rose that blooms

We are Mary in the clouds that loom

We are Mary as we rise in the skies from our tombs

We are Mary!

 

We are Mary pouring rain

We are Mary in the insane

We are Mary birthing pain

We are Mary who casts no shame

We are Mary!

 

We are Mary creating joy!

We are Mary in porridge and poi

We are Mary in the girl and boy

We are Mary!

 

We are Mary in the life we lead

We are Mary watering our seeds

We are Mary watching life bleed

We are Mary filling life's needs

We are Mary...

 

We Question... as We Should

A Mystery We All Share

As lights grow dim and  waters grow slim with slime

We are reminded, "This is our time! "in the midst of a global pandemic.

Are our lamps lit with the Consciousness of Life, or dimmed with fear and fever?

Is Faith blazing or flickering within our hearts, with useless bickering and strife?

Have we remembered or have we forgotten that it is WE who live here,

Who wear the Robes of "the Marys' " -- Mother Givers who care for LIFE... 

Are we the Responsible Life Givers that LIFE needs in these times of crises?

Or Have we forgotten whose robes bled for us?  

 

"MARYS'" -- both of them!

The Magdalen.-- Mother Unknown, now being revealed through history's web of lies, 

And the Supreme Cosmic Mother , who knows her well. Knows that she bore her grandchildren. . . Yes! though you may not know this Sacred Secret, now revealed.  

As they stood together on Calvary's Hill 'neath the Cross, in agony and hell, still, 

Human and Divine merged,  as their hearts bled. together,

And two opposing Symbols of Femininity  became One.

"Mother Mary Supreme,"  pure and bright, with the "other Mary" the conflict the Church 

Still attempts to conceal-- the "Repentant Whore,"  deemed by them, unclean-- and yet, 

He chose her, betrothed her, loved her, sired her, in a Sacred Ritual, in secret and love . . . 

They were Wed.

In Consubstantiation With The Father

HAIL! GOD OF ALL CREATION! WE IMPLORE: HAVE MERCY!

Mercy on our stubbornness, our ignorance, our nations have caused,

Though born of hope,   built on crucifixions,    sacrifice,    love and lore

WAIT FOR US GOD! WAIT FOR US! WE FIGHT NO MORE! WE FIGHT NO MORE!

                          (God be-thinks, "I've heard that, before!")

Though slow go our boats, through ice our ships go

With Your Light, we eventually come to shore, 

Through forest, now bare, into plains,    empty of Nature--not by woodchucks or beavers

But ignorant men,  rampant, greedy to possess the Motherlands.

 

Our knees buckle, we kneel,  though not out of humility, wondering, "

What we have done to ourselves?"  Withering and prostrate,  we come.-- We humbly come--  

For I fear that we have lost the meaning of words-- words, spoken carelessly, selfishly, 

 

"MERCY, GOD! "  we pray, with your help we shall run again!

Like little children who see the burning Light In an unsuspecting instant, in a familiar window

And know that mother and father are home. Like theirs, our hearts open with Hope, 

Emblazoned in the window, like a burning flame, we read:  "Clean your ears,  

Clear your heads, Take up your duties to Life -- with all of its twists and turns

Serve Life, to lift others . . . in need of  Love . .  .   

Et  Sevium__ "We Serve."

"They say, or at least, 'some say' that the Apple and/or Eve started it all...all the grief, that is. I don't believe these tales or fables. I do believe that the Bible and other Sacred Texts use fables, stories, poems and other literary tools to instruct, intrigue and inspire us, in order to give us a 'handle' on something so 'out of the ordinary' that the only way to get the 'message' across is to couch it in story form.

Story-telling is an ancient as Life, itself. Here, in this "simple" few strokes of the brush or pen-painting, I feel the beginning of Life in a new dimension...from the inner sanctum of the soul into the birth or coalescing of a concept or thought into form. Let your heart have a bite! I took one...look to the left!"

"Let this painting speak to your soul. Sit with it a while...After twenty two years, it has just given me another profound "hidden" message. Perhaps it has one for you...that is how Art works. Mysteriously." 

 

Mercy of the Almighty...

Ann Essance, copyright

Ships, are we on the mighty cosmic sea

Ocean liners, scrubbed brass, evolved for Kings and Queens

Steamboats, journeying arteries, paddle wheels rolling

Stirring the sands and silts of Life

Pirogues, swift over rapids

Only time to row, before overturning

Spinnakers, spinning in the wind

Sails, puffed pride; commanding attention

Rafts, going nowhere...

Ah, but for us all...Pirate ships of ignorance!

When storms come, which of us can fare

Without anchor in the Infinite?

DNA DANCE: 24"X36" Water color on paper. Ann Essance, copyright. 

"So much going on today with our genetic makeup(s)! So many experiments and theories...What will it all boil down to? What do you think? Are we descended from extra- terrestrial gods? Or, are we ascended from apes? Or, are we basically 'basic?' For every step forward in the Theory of Evolution, we take two steps back. Could we possibly rest a moment in the "Mystery of Life...do you think...in the awe inspiring wonder of it all...or is all of this research leading to a new paradigm shift? Are we really on to the "hot potato?" Or does the "hot potato" reside in a cave inside?

I think it is all good...as long as we stay balanced...and humble."

Heal This Wound     Deep Within My Heart

This Bitter-Root     That Chokes Its Softest Part

Ann Essance, copyright

Heal this wounded heart, Oh, Lord

Deception

Allowed to roam free caught me and Humanity

Supported by ignorance set in motion

long long long ago

Not an error in the cosmos or evolution No

But an error of perception in consciousness

That superstition led to Fear manipulating mankind

Under its control for the purpose of being controlled

The False Shadow

 

Hail Oh Freedom of Dissolution

To re-build not in blocks that crumble

But spirals fractals higher intelligence and truth

Through wit and wild joy and wonder

Stardust moon-dust lust for truth 'til it be found ___not

Ground or pulverized by lies but allowed to roam Free

Free as the wind that authors us all

Stars    moons    solar  orbs    planets     souls     and man

 

Heal this wound     so deep within  not only my heart

But the collective heart of Man

This deception     of not one experiment gone awry

But multiple experiments     accepted as truth     as law

Founded on pride     permanently molded into    golems of bronze

Idolized     before their time had come to be understood

For what they were    simple experiments    not gods

Ignorant Idols

 

Then was born Science and its process

Had Freedom remained Freedom things would be traceable

And Free as the Stars

To Be    or    Not to Be

They do not wonder     as they wander the Heavens

They play

 

I pray     these pages be found

For they contain    that which only Freedom

Knows as Truth

Life my fellowmen astounding women and wonderful children

Mammalians birds bees reptilians insects snakes warm-blooded

Cold-blooded Star Beings All...

You    Me    We

Are all     and more     than lies have deceived us to be

We     my friends    All     are more than the dust of the Earth

We are    the Dust of Stars

From Stars you have come    as the second cause    you are

From beyond the cosmos you have truly come

from God     the First Cause

You have come

to know Truth     to know God

For then the lies end     Deceptions dissolve

Only you must fly Free     Here    Now

Break the shackles of fear    tear open

The superstitions of ignorance

You must    You must

You must Want to Know You must have Faith

You must want to be Free

You must create     not just human bodies

But    Human soul-vessels

So that    Souls    are free to evolve    into gods and godesses

Not just hum-drum    stifled    rote-robots

Who cower and shrink before the shadows of lies

Like the Cowardly Lion or Rusty Tin-Man

 

Awaken     Harken

Create your good    your life    your love

Satan's form     is the lie of deception    concretized

Stop   stop giving him your precious breath

Smother him    do not feed him anymore

If you continue to feed him

He will swallow you     like a tapeworm

And your greatest most glorious moments    will become sludge

And you will be no more than the Earth

From which you think you came

You must have Faith    Hope    and Love    the Original Triangle

Are your strongholds of protection during times of fallow

Reach   Reach   Reach   for the Stars

One of them    You Are

They are your Second Cause    Your Second Chance to be Free

Free as the Sun creating new Life    every moment

Beyond the beyond of them     is    He/She/It     The Unknown

Never to be Known      until

You Truly Want to Know

God

If you do not pray      Pray

If you do not know how     just do it     it will come

It will come     "Knock and the door opens"

Scream     and the Universe answers

"Seek and you will find" that beyond   created deceptions

Set into momentum    through the Cardinal Sins

Ignorance,   superstition,   and  error,    have compounded

Into deception and purposeful mal-practice

It is behind that veil    your Truth lies

Do not allow it to swallow you

It is

time to Birth you     Anew

Be not afraid    your place is prepared

But    only you can claim it

 

Peace upon this paper    that holds these words

Take them to heart     Dear Reader

Take them to heart

________

 

Heal my Heart     Oh Lord     God of All Creation

And all who read these words

For the deceptions    that I have accepted     innocently     ignorantly and willingly

Teach me    Your Ways    that I may bathe in your    Wisdom

And pass it on to others     that I may create     from   your Glory

And be with You     as My-Self-Created-in-Your Image   in your Will

  That I may dwell    in Thee    and Thee in Me

 Forever.

Amen and Amen

View From the Stars

Earth chases itself in space

Stars observe its frantic pace

Man spins his webs and wheels...joins the race

Giant Timepiece of Jewels

Lost, seeking Peace.

Atomic bombs, BLAST...within the Hearts of Men

Each hourly frustration, demands retaliation

All the while, inside the Silver Womb, untouched, unseen

The Magenta Heart bleeds.

"Perhaps, somewhere in the "middle" of our earth lives, we determine to "get it". Then, once we "get it" we find we don't. Life is a journey that requires both creativity and personal discipline in order to perservere on the upward stroke. We must keep climbing the ladders (or mountains) of our lives to the end...to the finish line. Then, hopefully...we get it!"

God, How Sweet It Is To Forgive and

To Be Forgiven

Ann Essance,copyright, 2014

Thank you for forgiving me

And, for giving me, All of You

That gracious gift that led me to believe

That I could do it all! And the possibility

Led me to impossibility...Humility

And your Divine Mercy

 

Yet, baffled...once again,

Faith, Hope and Love

Sail me across the seas

Of impossible times...

Amen and Amen

I saw my fellowman... wondered why

He had a splinter in his eye...

Then, I looked in the mirror...what did I see?

I saw a plank...

Big as a tree.
