Orenda

Spirit scintillates,
Sentience expends foundation;
Whensoever perceive yer.

i especially like the title .. a tribute to the Iroquois Indian belief... i grew up in upstate NY and so my exposure to bits of their history was at least present ... i think history talks more of the Western tribes ...
i just finished watching Avatar (for the umpteenth time) yesterday and your poem is so all over the Na'vi belief in Eywa ...the connection of all things .. love that stuff .. i like the language and consonance you have chosen ... and God's spirit on Earth should be scintillating for sure ... heavy thoughts and you close with a kind of cute twist with a colloquial "...yer" :) inspiring, uplifting and challenging to seek the Spirit out this morning

Thank you, dear E. for the most exhilarating review. I was fascinated by the word 'orenda' and its meaning in lroquois Indian language, when I came across it.
So far I haven't seen Avatar (film) yet, after reading your review iam very curious to know all about it, soon will find time to watch it.

I guess the collective power of nature's energies is not to be sneezed at for if it can be harnessed in ones psyche one can reach a sentinel state of awareness where we can experience such satisfaction. Love this short but meaningful piece.

Thank you John, for sharing your thoughts.

Your writing really does inspire us, me.. to look outwards, to look and find. As with that beautiful word - it rolls around the mouth like a truffle: in a lesser way, contributes a touch of that spirit energy that makes a person absorb more from the all around. Perhaps? . Still having to learn and understand..

Thank you dear beautiful Emmajoy, for your always encouraging lovely thoughts. Eu adorei muito ( I Just loved them a lot) .

Like the idea of a spiritual energy pushing me along when I'm out running.
But the energy within is definitely the Ki energy.

[Mrudula Rani]

Are you practicing qigong as well ?

[Paul Bell]

When I'm injured I do. The gentle exercise helps me back to fitness.

Hello Mrudula. You keep me on my toes dear poet. Had to look up Orenda, but so pleased I did. I have learned something today, and spiritual energy just has to be scintillating. All good wishes to you.

The energy that flows from beautiful minds like yours has such a scintillating effect on me, dear Chris. Thank you for your kind words.

[Chris Shaw]

You are more than welcome Mrudula.

That's why I'm a bunny.... bunnies just are and Robert's must be... a lot in a little kind of a riddle but definitely a tittle... ate
