â¤ď¸First-cycle:đđđThe Poem of cycles of â¤ď¸ of Willie y Wanda REVISED again with epilogue
On August.11 is me and my Wanda our wedding anniversary and who wouldâve known this living embodiment of the 40 year old virgin:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_40-Year-Old_Virgin
wouldâve finally find love with a young hot babe Wanda castillo
Who unlike this Van Halen song…once you go Latina you never go back:
-Who is 11 years my junior-who wouldâve thought especially when I pursued her -she would not give me time and day and since we worked in the same place I would sign the lunch and break sheet at the same time she signed up and it never would happen she would change it…..
She was like my Doomsday:
She was like Mr.T or Apollo and I was Rocky being knock down to the canvas…..
yet like Rocky I had heart and got up each time before the bell ringed.ââ(yet God had more of a hand-
Or this generations Rocky who has the same heart but is relatively unknown- only known by a few or like me was my last choice because the other movies were sold out:
And Eminem was my corner ring man in either scenario :
In this sense I can jokingly picture God seeing His Adam and Eve perfectly complimenting and made for each other caught in a seemingly inescapable loop of indecision that God just steps in and throws them together.âââ)
And come to think of it when love comes easy you do not appreciate or cherish as much as when you struggle and fight for that special eve that has a fortress around her heart towards you and you alone like the Sting song in this sense:
(Nowadays its further reinforced by the me too movement that are justified in some cases but in other cases it is ridiculous taking courtship and dating ages old practices like holding doors,giving đş,non sexual compliments etc like natural courtship rituals in Godâs animal creation:
and making them into Orwellian crimes of action and thought
against all womankind that ever lived,lived and will live leaving us singles unable to move in our personal quest of love like confused and afraid to act or say anything in our courtship version of the divine,theological,biblical and philosophical friction between free will and predestination) feeling and living like a Natalie imbruglia torn video:
And I wouldâve wandered aimlessly worn and battered like a human
Springsteenâs streets of Philadelphia song or U2 video:
for all eternity in this desert searching for my desert rose-my garden of eden among stretching before and beyond the horizon glaring-that is all I can see:
On a road I traveled exclusively a psalm of longing and lament that only adorned my parched lips seeking the waters of life which were the kisses that only belonged to my Eve
since the day I first saw the God given beauty of eves
My personal garden of Eden
Built for two and any fruits of that Love
To have a wonderful day in that
our personal neighborhood:
Matthew 19:
5and said, âTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one fleshâ? 6So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.â 7They said to him, âWhy then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?â 8He said to them, âBecause of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.âa
Blessed
consecrated
Nurtured and
Sustained
Wanting with all my heart soul and body
To be a Eveâs Teddy bear:
Till I found you and you werenât a illusion a mirage a empty dream a song by Godâs grace sweet song greeting the ears of my heart:
Now known as the shrek
song:
But I knew it from the monkeys original:
Yet even then with all the proof
Than I had finally find my quests end
My hearts keeper whose eyes
I find life
Whose eyes I am complete:
I tried not to close my eyes and miss the Kodak moments even if it was a delusion,wishful thinking that was without any shred of evidence or proof of existence….
of You- Wanda Castillo
The once and future Mrs Morales-
and fail this time like always-
falling asleep and finding myself beside once again to the stark reality
I was still alone :
Leaving also on my parched lips and mouth as if it was sewn on by the threads of
Rejection
Of unfounded hope
And its signs that were nothing but sandcastles of and in the air
Always ready to burst and disapplate
And scatter into the nothingness of the void of the never ending story that couldâve been but will never be:
The original:
The nothing:
My eternal question: Hello and its not Adeleâs but rather Lionel Ritchieâs Hello:
And when you worked your last day at Barnes Noble the original and we exchanged numbers and promises to keep in contact were given to each other that turned out to be true and not pleasant meaningless promises… I had this song in my mind as you left seeming to be my last time I would see you:
And meditating and pondering and stressing like the Timmy Tee song:
will you ever give me another chance
One more try…
to eternally fix the gaze of your heart eternally only on me and me alone-even though I have no foggy idea or notion or plan or scheme what to do and what to say –
I truly needed a Rosetta Stone as these Phil Collins songs played in my mind testifying how I felt:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone
I donât have these time machines:
or the superhero ability:
so
I can not go back into time and correct-
Rectify my failures
My indecisiveness
And my foolishness
And my sins like a personal Groundhog Day:
Once I have committed them
They become etched and chiseled eternally in the rock of eternity
Never ever able to call them back:
(Summing up since I fall short of the present cultural norms of Prince Charming of not only the first look but the second,third etc that alone stacks the odds of me finding love all the more)
to translate so you can comprehend,understand,convince,plead my case and think when I say I love you that they were not just words of empty air but were were given the breathe of life…given wings by you and you alone…….like the poor mans version of Lloyd:
Always facing this question as well that I always knew the answer… But this time
Hoping it will be one happy ending:
And not the angelic heavenly host
Watching my life constantly and expressing:
And reaffirming this lie with my lifeâs blood and sweat:
That Saturday night I hung out with the group at work and fate intervened on the way back to our respective homes we bumped into each other and it seemed Cupid called a major air strike:
That all I can remember I ended up with a first date with you and gee it wouldn’t be the last as a matter of fact today and in the words of:
Spanish:
Into the fathomless depths of eternity
Yes The truth was out there:
Yes it was and is somewhere in Godâs heavens:
Yes That truth where it lies was with you and you alone Wanda:
Your heart alone had a willy shaped keyhole
Which I alone can open
Which I alone can enter
Which I alone can call home
Somewhere in my personal Lost in space:
Thank God He gave you eyes to look beyond the gossip and rumors that were spread about me:
To see my real â¤ď¸:
To see the real me:
Or his modern day counterpart:
Like the incredible hulk smashing you:
That reality set in as a new day When I saw you for our first date you looked enchantingly radiant looking like the fourth member of TLC:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLC_(group)
So much so I can hear this TLC song:
And our first date was the movie frequency:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(film)
And the movie title became a living motif of the wonderful reality that finally love have found our frequencies to our hearts and they were communicating the only way the language of love can talk between a Adam and His Eve:
And afterwards I felt like these cartoon characters:
In jubilee as I approached my promised land like the Israelites of the Old Testament:
Feeling like the highlander:
victorious to be the last one standing to claim the prize and in my case that prize Wanda was your â¤ď¸…
đđđđCycle 2: The church wedding. Revised
While both anxiously
Nervously
And stressful waiting for you with my best man Ryan to come down the aisle
And meet and join me in the front of the sanctuary
Side by side
God officiating
To bless and consecrate our union
Before our family
Before our friends
And before the hosts of heaven
By following her own personal yellow brick road like a real life Dorothy from the wizard of oz not to find her great wizard oz to find her way back home to Kansas but to find me and our future home together:
Remembering cherishing the love you Wanda freely blessed me with putting the broken pieces of me (like a human Humpty Dumpty and unlike the nursery rhyme where he had a great fall-As you can tell I had many great falls…)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty
not only she alone in all heaven and earth could put me together but she did it more better-
Reminding of this show growing up …,
And accounting for todayâs inflation you made me into the billon dollar man.,,
Then When I saw you coming down the aisle
All I can see was you;
And that moment I first saw you you were transformed into my Cinderella
and this Cinderella you Wanda was not a make a believe character in a fairytale made up of words and pictures but a Eve made of flesh and blood living in real space and time-given life and existence by the breath of God and made in His image…
And at that moment I first saw you as well you
-you come down the aisle like a field of dreams experience
God behind the scenes of my life
Whispering
Into the ears of my heart and soul and mind
In my case it was she will come-and that she was you Wanda-
A angel from heaven-A piece of heavenly real estate come down to me
That I alone can claim and will claim
Bright and dazzling
Yes and yes and infinite yeses you took my breath away:
At that moment Wanda As I saw you coming down the aisle it was like magic-
And I have to repeat again and again Wanda
All I can see was you
Everybody else became like:
At that moment Cupid let out another barrage of:
Like these superheroâs:
Which became these songs that burned forever in the very fabric of our minds,hearts and souls:
Spanish:
Spanish:
Becoming Not a weird science experiment of my mind and wishful thinking or unfounded hope:
Becoming Not my modern Frankenstein only real in my thoughts and dreams that only give it a semblance of life:
And not authenticating Macbeth as my Biblical prophet
Professing from the Very mouth of God a infallible prophetic utterance and description of my life what it is
What it was
What it will be
And how it ends:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this trivial pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted
The way to dusty death for fools. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
In light of this wonderful revelation
These cultural icons
These songs
These videos
These words
Or this word
(I borrow and in my creativity I see where they can fit)
Represents
Are symbols
I hammer into the shapes
Alone forging them with spiritual fire from my soul,mind and heart:
A human Prometheus using the tool of
Mind mapping in the act of creation
Are coordinates on Our treasure map
Giving us directions to these Kodak moments:
Of where we hid them them in the depths of our minds and hearts:
So they can be memorialized and dwell solely in our hearts
Be triggers
Be As launching pads
For our precious moments
To either be expressed by me point blank
Or by my God given creativity
For her heart
And my heart
To treasure and times be of comfort
Of nostalgia
A suit of armor and banner when sin the world and devil besieged our personal garden of eden
A hospital to heal our wounds
Our physician to diagnose and treat our sicknesses
A shield and a shelter from life storms to seek refuge and safety in….
Living memorial markers
To our first contact
Our first kiss
Our dating
Our courtship
Our marriage
And our only family…
(Psalm 127:3 English Standard Version (ESV)
3
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.)
Forging them
Empowering
Engraving
And inscribing them
(Gee reminds me of this movie)
into this wedding ring I will place on your wedding finger…
As two lives become one brand new life
I Took a chance and Faced the fierce winds of rejection,uncertainty and failure
Before it Led us to the front:
a church altar and pulpit
Before us our modern day Mt. Sinai
*Where the True God came down to man:
Exodus:
1 NOW MOSES kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back or west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb or Sinai, the mountain of God. 2 The [4] Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, yet was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned. 4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. 5 God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground. 6 Also He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
*Our modern day Abraham and Isaac sacrificial altar:
(Genesis 22:
8 Abraham said, My son, [46] God Himself will provide a lamb for the burnt offering. So the two went on together. 9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there; then he laid the wood in order and [47] bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar on the wood. [Matt. 10: 37.] 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took hold of the knife to slay his son. [Heb. 11: 17â19.] 11 But the [48] Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham! He answered, Here I am. 12 And He said, Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear and revere God, since you have not held back from Me or begrudged giving Me your son, your only son. 13 Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering and an ascending sacrifice instead of his son! 14 So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.)
A foreshadowing:
I….Traveled many roads either getting me hopefully lost or proved to be dead ends
Till I found the only road God blessed me with to walk and led me to you Wanda ending and beginning at the front of a church and a pulpit
Watching come down the aisle to join me
And to join our lives :
https://www.lyricsondemand.com/tvthemes/whosthebosslyrics.html
This time
Not a pre recorded audience going aah at not finding my trulove
My hearts keeper again and again
But this victory anthem for all Adams and all Eves:
And we exchanged our vows
Yet there is a touch of regret and sadness
As I fall under your enchantment
As you walk down the aisle
Instead of a perfect Adam and perfect eve
In a Disney perfect marriage
and
A perfect creation…
Yet because of God’s love and mercy continues to be a gift of God-
Created by Him for us
Continues to be our blessing from Him
Marriage of all Adams and eves
Whether they acknowledge it or not
Give Him credit or someone or something else:
Continues to be a holy and sacred and inclusive
special garden of eden
like the original eden
Yet Not a Disney movies of happily ever afters.
We introduce express it to each other
Gen 3:1-24
is marred by sin
Adams sins
Eves sins
Both our sins
And Sins other Adams and eves do to other edenic unions
Truly Because of The fall and sin-
Now it is rather a sinful Adam and a sinful Eve
In a imperfect marriage living out dickens quote:
âIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.â
Thus There is no perfect marriage like this all the time:
At times more like this(the new normal) because of the fall and its effects:
Adams vs Eves
Eves vs Adams
Adams vs themselves
Eves vs themselves
And everybody is shouting and nobody is really listening:
And Adams and Eves vs other Adams and Eves
To rule
To conquer
And to dominate:
And this truth
Is both bitter and sweet
As we exchange our marriage vows
I know
I ponder
I embrace
I claim
I make it my own and not be mimicking this truth like a:
What greater responsibility
What great stewardship
What greater honor
What greater shepherd-ship
That God can give any Adam
That His eve and his family
To put his body in the line for them:
Where sin like Thanos ready to destroy all things God can,has created and brought together with a snap of a finger again:
Or sin like Vader on his Death Star:
Yet my Wanda can and has stepped in
Proving she is just as complete and strong:
Time after time
Yet it is also ironically Bitter because the presence of sin in all such relationships and in ours
Yet sweet even though sin is present
Godâs mercy,grace is infinitely greater-blessing,nurturing,sustaining,defending,purifying,sanctifying and healing what sin seeks to kill and destroy or at least pervert,maim disables or cripple-again I use this video analogy:
And makes it a further tragedy is that most of mankind is unaware of sins true malicious intentions itâs true conspiracies of conspiracies its hidden master agenda….
To destroy marriage
Godâs symbolizing a finite copy of the divine trinity but of the heavenly church by:
Machismo
Feminism
For just pleasure
For just producing children
Sex as a chore
Sex as a necessary evil
Sex to keep the man
Sex to serve the man
Either extremes
For just companionships
As a mindless plaything to do our bidding
Like xanth where you Sow wild oats nymphs
âSon, believe me, I understand; I sowed wild oats myself when I was your age. Got me a nymph, too, with flowing green hair and a body like the great outdoors. But I had forgotten about the special watering, and so she got away. I never saw anything so lovely in my lifeâexcept your mother, of course.â
Rolandâs face became serious. âTo a young man, the thought of a lovely nude nymph may be very tempting,â he went on. âAll the physical features of a woman, and none of the mental ones. But, son, this is a childish dream, like finding a candy tree. The real thing will not be all you hope for. One quickly becomes tired of unlimited candy, and so it also is with a mindless female body. A man canât love a nymph. His eagerness quickly becomes boredom, and then disgust.â
If God meant it to be like that He wouldâve created mindless eves to be all all Adams playthings which ironically sin has done-
Rather He created Adams and eves equally in His image
Each with a particular defined role
Yet equal and one:
Genesis 1:27
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
That is why God says love her as you love yourself:
Ephesians:
25 Husbands,love your wives,â just as Christ lovedâ the church and gave himselfâ for her 26 to make her holy, cleansingâ her with the washing of water by the word. 27 He did this to present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless.â 28 In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hates his own flesh but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church, 30 since we are members of his body.â 31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,â and the two will become one flesh.â â 32 This mysteryâ is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband.
Like a modern day version of This 80âs hero:
Ephesians 5:
22 Wives,â submitâ â to your husbandsâ as to the Lord, 23 because the husband is the head of the wifeâ as Christ is the headâ of the church. He is the Savior of the body.â 24
that way you see her not as a slave plaything indentured servant but like yourself royalty her queenship to your kingship:
Matthew Henry:
âEve was not taken out of Adam’s head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.â
Like CS Lewis in his chronicles of narnia books:
âYou come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,â said Aslan. âAnd that is both honor enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth.â
We are given freedom and liberty but within the parameters God has given us-His Law:
Rom 2:15 KJV – 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Hebrews 10:
16 âThis is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,â
17 then he adds,
âI will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.â
In our case to prevent us from harming others,ourselves
Access to the ever present danger of sin in our lives and the lives of others
Itâs dangers
Itâs repercussions
In others lives as well as our own
Now and future
In a way I am reminded of this 80âs movie that applied to us gives us a similar idea:
End of this cycle
âŚ
The final cycle:the wedding nightđđđđđđ
The moment finally arrived
I pulled my sword from stone:
like a modern day King Arthur:
Ready to claim my Camelot:
which was not a physical kingdom but a human one shaped with dangerous curves and full luscious lips to die and resurrect me
Again and again
you wanda
And by the way didnât I say I was also hungry like a wolf then and even now and perpetually into the depths of eternity
Even when I am withering away
And you remain in my eyes
Forever young
As my heavenly goddess
And:
I want to know what Love is
Not modern love stripped of God
The King and I don’t have in mind Elvis:
Striped of God’s word
Tearing the protective hedges God has raised
Surrounding that divine institution:
Songs of Solomon 2:
Womanâ 15 Catch the foxes for usâ âthe little foxes that ruin the vineyardsâfor our vineyards are in bloom.â
Yes these Sins techniques inspired the game show Letâs make a deal
Yet unlike the game shows where 1or 2 out of 3 doors contain a great prize
Sin the originator offers no grand prizes but booby prizes at each door we may choose that only guarantees in the vanity fair of this fallen world
Not only hell on earth
But if no repentance
Turning to Christ
And Following Him
Out of gratitude
Then in the hereafter death hell for a eternity
With no chance ever of a heavenly get out of jail card:
In whatever shape the world makes or corrupts
Apart from the True Gospel:
Ephesians 2:
4 But Godâso rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us, 5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved ([ 4] delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christâs salvation). 6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us [5] joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 7 He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by free grace (Godâs unmerited favor) that you are saved ([ 6] delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christâs salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; 9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Lawâs demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] 10 For we are Godâs [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [7] recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Acts 4:
12 And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.
Some of the booby prize sins behind it lets make a deal doors are:
Keep up with the Jonesâs
The grass is always greener on the other side
Adultery
Soft porn hard porn
Erotic fiction erotic non fiction (eventually the christainty that copies emulates the world
Will have their own ripped up and poorly made knockoffs…versions of these booby prizes
If it doesnât possess it already….
Fantasy
Homosexuality
divorce
Gender defined by feelings
Materialism:
Hedonism:
Yet with sins game show neither door has a prize
Just a booby prize
And we all are part of the studio audience dressed in whatever sins we are prone to and naturally attractively drawn too…
Romans 3:
23 For all have sinnedâ and fall short of theâ glory of God.
Luke 18:
18 Aâ rulerâ asked him, âGood teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? ââ 19 âWhy do you call me good? â Jesus asked him. âNo one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honor your father and mother.ââ â 21 âI have kept all these from my youth,â he said.
22 When Jesus heard this, he told him, âYou still lack one thing: Sell all you have and distribute it to the poor,â and you will have treasure in heaven.â Then come, follow me.ââ 23 After he heard this, he became extremely sad,â because he was very rich. Possessions and the Kingdom 24 Seeing that he became sad,â Jesus said, âHow hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.â 26 Those who heard this asked, âThen who can be saved? ââ 27 He replied, âWhat is impossible with man is possible with God.ââ
Luke 5:
31 Jesus replied to them, âIt is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.â
******************************************
And we shall share in these sacred and holy unions:
And this time I without no doubts
Confident to the very fibers of my being:
Drawing strength and wisdom
determination and eternally fixed hope: Christ
Not on a impersonal force or chance or accident-
Like these scenes from these iconic movies further illustrating my points that everyone and
Everybody knows:
Where the hero depended on luck
I depended on His grace
Where the hero on chance
I depended on His divine providential care:
Or On the final run needing a impossible one in a million shot to snatch victory from the insatiable and ravenous jaws of defeat :
The hero had the force
I have prayer and His Word
He had two other lone allies
I have God and the whole host of heaven
To destroy my death star of loneliness
And unlike the hero claiming unknown to him to claim his princess who really was his sister-
I claimed my princess
My eve
And my Wanda
In this bright star of hope and faith I chased you and my destiny:
And you let me catch you
Thus leading us
You and me
Thus guiding us
You and me to our love nest:
Which you and I had planned to build
Have built
And are continually building:
Genesis 4:1a
The man was intimate with his wife Eve,
Ephesians 5:
31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,â and the two will become one flesh.â â 32
And I knew you
And you knew me
We knew each other:
In a dance of love:
approved
Consecrated
Nurtured
Sustained
And defined
by God
Only two hearts
Only two minds
And two souls
Alone could experience
Alone could share that intimate nakedness
Not only in body
Not only emotionally
But spiritually bearing of who they are
Intimately and exclusively to each other
Alone
As a gift of joy sharing oneness
sharing intimacy love
A mortal copy of the infinitely profound mystery of the Trinity-
Yes As a gift of joy sharing oneness sharing intimacy love
Yes A mortal copy of the infinitely profound mystery of the Trinity:
Borrowing from 80âs culture for a finite shadow- similar to Plato’s parable of the cave
– serving as a illustration:
Or itâs twin or clone or both:
Ephesians 5:
32 This mysteryâ is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church.
I sang to you then
I sing to you now
You sang to me then
And you sing to me now
We sang together then
We sing together now
English:
Spanish:
Opening a whole new world:
Where dreams I had in the past
Never came true
But when I finally met you
All my dreams have and
Will always come true
Yes and amen
In you Wanda..
To always find new worlds to discover and explore-
For me alone to discover and explore:
together the natural and hidden wonders of you:
In heart
In mind
And in body……
This Wanda I sealed it with the one kiss God alone gives us:
spanish
These gems I blessed placing each on the crown I bestowed to you
In heart
In mind
Upon your head
Making you
Declaring you
My Eve…
I end where I began with the never ending story
A tale old as time
Yet always fresh and new and each unique
Each time a Adam and a Eve find each other…
Spanish
Where the nothing
My nothing called loneliness
ended when your heart
Joined and intertwined with mine
Beating life hope wonder into my dying heart
Resurrecting it from the chains my personal nothing was consuming it
and yet also is just beginning
With my jasmine
My Disney princess
My Everything is
The keeper of my heart soul mind and body
My Wanda
As we write our own never ending story with
Our lives and the lives of our children….
*******************************
I end where I began with the never ending story adding the circle of life to its conclusion-
(Gee doesn’t my son look like a younger version On Stranger Things and the cable commercials)
A tale old as time
Yet always fresh and new
Each time a Adam and a Eve find each other…
Spanish:
Where the nothing
My nothing called loneliness
ended when your heart
Joined and intertwined with mine
Beating life hope wonder into my dying heart
Resurrecting it from the chains my personal nothing was consuming it
and yet also is just beginning
With my jasmine
My Disney princess
My Eve
The keeper of my heart soul mind and body
My Wanda
As we write our own never ending story with
Our lives and the lives of our children….
Original:
To repeat the circle of life here and for
Eternity:
Ecclesiastes 3:
11 He has made everything appropriateâ in its time.â He has also put eternity in their hearts,â
Eventually our children and their children.
To continue the earthly circle of life
And Us in heaven:
2 Corinthians 5:
8 In fact, we are confident, and we would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.â 9 Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasingâ to him.
Continuing the heavenly circle of life
With our family and friends
To continue The never ending story
Here on this side of eternity:
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (NIV, Matthew 6:25-33)
To continue the never ending story
On the other side of eternity: heaven
And then to Continue the never ending story…Till all of us eventually In the redeemed creation:
âI saw a new heaven and a new earth. . . . I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. . . . And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, âBehold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their Godââ (Revelation 21: 1-3).

I hope you we all see this thru Christ eyes:
Luke 21:1-4 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Widowâs Two Mites
21 And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites.[a] 3 So He said, âTruly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings [b]for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.â

That Christ with 2 fish miraculous fed 5000
Matthew 14:
13 When Jesus heard about it,â he withdrew from there by boat to a remote place to be alone. When the crowds heard this, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he went ashore,â he saw a large crowd, had compassion on them, and healed their sick.â 15 When evening came, the disciplesâ approached him and said, âThis place is deserted, and it is already late.â Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.â 16 âThey donât need to go away,â Jesus told them. âYou give them something to eat.â
17 âBut we only have five loaves and two fish here,â they said to him. 18 âBring them here to me,â he said. 19 Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.â 20 Everyone ate and was satisfied. They picked up twelve baskets full of leftover pieces.â 21 Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
I took my God given talent of creativity to multiply and transform into a banquet for in my particular case for you Wanda to feed our hearts minds and bodies
For the rest of our lives…..
And Not thru the worlds eyes which all of us Adams and Eves are prone to:
Envy the prosperous
https://www.crossway.org/articles/5-dangers-of-money/
Becoming like the ot Israelites when they were delivered. Out of Egypt:
That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, âIf only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldnât it be better for us to go back to Egypt?â And they said to each other, âWe should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.â (Numbers 14:1-4)o
Not thru sins eyes
All in its proper context
In the way God works differently between christains and non christains
Psalm 37:
do not envy those who do wrong.â 2 For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender green plants.â 3 Trust in the Lord and do what is good;â dwell in the land and live securely.â â 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heartâs desires.â 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act,â
Blessings or lack or blesses
Lack of or overflowing with wealth or resources
And all lives has ups and downs
All lives has give or takes
All lives has crosses or crowns
Whether the person whatâs to admit or not
Swerves a different purpose for the Christian And Non christain
Non Christian:
[God] makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Judgement
Call to repentance
Romans 2:
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness,â restraint,â and patience,â not recognizingâ that Godâs kindnessâ is intended to lead you to repentance?
Christian:
First. There is a certain train or course of events, by the providence of God, falling to every one of us during our life in this world. And that is our lot, as being allotted to us by the sovereign God, our Creator and Governor, “in whose hand our breath is, and whose are all our ways. ” This train of events is widely different to different persons, according to the will and pleasure of the sovereign Manage, who orders men’s condition in the world in a great variety, some moving in a higher, some in a lower sphere.

46 that slaveâs master will come on a day he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know. He will cut him to pieces[a] and assign him a place with the unbelievers.[b] 47 And that slave who knew his masterâs will and didnât prepare himself or do it[c] will be severely beaten. 48 But the one who did not know and did things deserving of blows will be beaten lightly. Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.[d].
And further thoughts on our wedding rings:
So that in time Our wedding rings
Like the all powerful ring in lord of the rings-the wedding ring likewise
as At times heavy to carry
,kids,bills,sickness burden,work,disappointments and temptation:
And at other times
Light as a feather
Honeymoon phase,pre-kids,kids growing up,physical intimacy,Create new life etc
Empowered by covenantal martial fidelitity and faithful and Love
It also has Power to destroy by tyranny,abuse,lies,adultery,lust,worry,embracing worldly attitude and values
When we corrupt marriage and the covenantal symbol of it: The wedding rings
We become this character in real life and as to humble us all the more WE all are born like this

Isaiah 64:
6 All of us have become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like a pollutedâ garment;â all of us wither like a leaf,â and our iniquitiesâ carry us away like the wind.
Matthew 23:
25 âWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greedâ and self-indulgence.â 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup,â so that the outside of itâ may also become clean. 27 âWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,â which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of the bones of the dead and every kind of impurity. 28 In the same way, on the outside you seem righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 âWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous, 30 and you say, âIf we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we wouldnât have taken part with them in shedding the prophetsâ blood.â 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your ancestorsâ sins!â
