I'm finding myself in a rather peculiar state of consciousness (probably more accurately "unconsciousness,") as I'm doing a balancing act between the pull of anxiety/depression and being drawn to a state of "Atonement" with the Ever-present-Source of Love.
I spend most of each day engaged in this--what feels like a-- battle. To help me I've gone back to some of my earlier spiritual teachers and happy to discover that their messages are still so strong, stirring and affirming (FYI-Joel Goldsmith -a true mystic, Evelyn Underhill-- one of the most articulate and poetical writers on the mystical path, Annalee Skarin- a bonafide mystic who supposedly "translated,"--all wonderful additions to my spiritual journey)--all highly recommended for deepening and expanding your spiritual quest!

This piece is my poetic exploration of Jesus–how the world often regards him, what he reveals and how he sees us-with an ironic twist at the end..

I hope you are moved by the video as much as I am (literally) moved by Jesus life–truly a model for our best self.
You might consider viewing the piece as a prelude to prayer and meditation either privately or shared with a group.

Errol Strider shares his poetic interpretation of the life and meaning of Jesus the Christ.
