Sailors....inundated by Deep Spirit, Soul crushed by Compassion. 'Grace' keeps us alive and energized serving under a Heart's 'weight' of duty to Humanity. 'As we Give, we Receive'.... It's "our" job now. Only those that come with a willingness, "we" become the Inward and Outward Christs extending to Others.

... Full Moon. The same Moon we have gazed upon for as long as the Earth has existed. How Beautiful... How Beautiful.

One of them it takes into account is "Suzanne."

Here are some of the Lyrics I was seeking to encapsulate in a pictorial manner.

Although as an afterthought "The Sun pours down like Honey on Our Lady of the Harbour" may have been more apropos to the picture at hand.

You were of course putting up songs of a canonical nature, so it put me in mind of the nature of the origin of the song.

That origin is Montreal, and particular to the lyric in focus, the Monument at the top of Mont Royal is said to be the Inspiration.

It goes like this:

quote:

---

"Suzanne"
(Leonard Cohen"

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever

While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

In an interview, 'Suzanne' (the person) described her platonic friendship with Leonard Cohen, with special note of the origins behind the lyrics of that song he wrote during that Summer of 1965. She was processing the pain of a broken relationship and he listened to her. He was 'there' for her.

In later years, he took the poem and made it into lyrics~~ a beautiful self-observing synthesis of an inner and outer private experience. True Beauty. True Loving.

*The song is about a "meeting of spirits" ... very very very very intimate...

*QUOTE: "He was 'drinking me in' more than I even recognized, if you know what I mean. I took all that moment for granted. I just would speak and I would move and I would encourage and he would just kind of like sit back and grin while soaking it all up and I wouldn't always get feedback, but I felt his presence really being with me. We'd walk down the street for instance, and the click of our shoes, his boots and my shoes, would be like in synchronicity. It's hard to describe. We'd almost hear each other thinking. It was very unique, very, very unique." [end of quote]

I believe that people are hungering for something Real that is Beyond themselves right now in this time. We search for the Real in one another. It hovers just below actual conscious recognition, but when I glimpse a 'look' into people's eyes I can sense and 'see' this in vibe and spirit. For some people, they are deeper and further away and dive into chemicals or violent actions in order to "reach 'It'" ~~ to try to touch-It-awake within themselves somehow. And with others, the meeting is invisibly magically mystical ~~ like you've known them Forever in that moment when you pass through each other's auric range.

Last night, looking at the Moon~~ it's what *I* have done what *we* have all done ~~ through many lifetimes. That Moon does NOT change. It's like a common-Union we all have, as a person (timelines in a body) and as a group who have known each other before. "We who Remain" are NOT so different... Life can be sooo ratcheted intense in one moment to another in reality situations. One ped rocking in each of the lower and Higher awarenesses.

May we all truly come to fully integrate during this Season of Time. May we rise up with New 'quality' and ability. AT-one uniting, the merging and effortless Live moment. No one~~ absolutely NO one 'left behind' at all... No one is excluded.

We can be able to sing the Beautiful words of the following song TO one-another, face to human Face, Christ-to-Christ, experiencing the thing that Unites us into a Glorious Co-Presence. Reminds me of a wonderful Sufi song ritual...

May Love and Compassions never cease

In Memory of this Day 9/11 ... may Hearts find renewal once more

many more of *you* than the single i, to take each on like that
relentless but cooperating in your own way

you rest in turns, chemicalized, the next pulsing sonic encounter assaults on my Being
with hardly a break... only silicone ear plugs and sound canceling ear muffs
i'm wired-tired stillness getting
quiet because of pink windows
tears become oil

draw up spirit hellos waves
courage for self sake overall is everything
understanding
the fair line of barely able
but Success is that I'm 'doing it'

sonic ones with agendas
calculating moves
relentless hard haughty devils care
at my saturnday door
asking me "so when" do i leave?
they act friendly, but striken my heart

i said no answers buys excuses
to the heartless kind heartless

I've described episodes of this in previous writings.... but then, I could have deleted them. Makes me nervous. More jittery. I thought 'later' to delete the mention of gunshots from the post, but didn't get there. I didn't want to unduly upset people. I'm living with it, but want out. Hard to be stable when you think it's all going to be pulled out from under you at moments. (It's what I've been posting about for the past year.)

Beautiful New Moon in Libra is on my Midheaven. H9 side. In the astrology of it, I am sooo delighted to be Blessed with Understanding in experiencing the Experience. We are part of a magnificent Plan, for which we both "write and don't-write" a word of its scripting. The Cosmic Director trusts "us" to process and innovate... to play and improvise with the creative tools we have been given.

This sooo much reminds me of a series of dreams I had had decades ago.....

I was walking in Outer Space. There were white geometric frames like you'd find in a museum~~ but they were not-filled from one perspective, and yet filled if you consider they were Space-Holders framing the stars and galaxy from whatever viewpoint you wanted to see it. Busy, busy, busy. So many choices for the architects and designers of the Future to make.

New Moon Libra is bridging Seasons of my Life. Mystically speaking, it's like being at the top of a big Ferris wheel at night-time, where the wheel momentarily feels suspended in its movement. I look all around at a Beautiful city with all its quiet points of Lights surrounding me-- There are Heavenly Lights in the Heavens Above, with points of Beautiful color in the earthly lights below.
