Here, at the beginning of the Autumn, near the Equinox,
Flaming Rose is proud to announce the completion
of Full Circle, a book of poetry and art by Joe Kirkwood.
In this issue of the Journal, we include the text
and illustrations of the first chapter, "New Horizons",
which describes the experiences and impressions
of a journey across the land
into the Heart, Mind and Soul of America.

        Journey  Lyrics and MP3
the Journey began
in some forgotten ancient time
to seek the meaning of life

the Journey simply unfolds
the Soul of the Seeker
never grows old
never grows old
. . .



 
 
         
   

New Horizons

at Sunrise
the Journey
continues
as always
always


slow and easy
slow and easy
moving
in harmony
with the Sun
the Earth
the slow and easy flow
of Life
and the seasons
as always
always

   
 
    the Path Opens


following the Sun
following the Light
   
 
       
 
    moving
moving
towards the western horizon
into wide open spaces
of unbounded freedom
and time
where
there is no distinction
between wind
sky
thought and mind
and life
is limitless


here now
upon this Path
limitless
unrestricted
by the regret
of the past
and the fear
of the future


life is only the Journey
continuing
continuing


here now
upon this Path
in an instant reborn
Body and Being
are transformed
and uplifted
with new Life Spirit
into a joyous
new Life Beginning


beginning
beginning
always
beginning


breathing in
deeply
deeply
accepting
receiving the Breath
the Spirit
of Life


following
simply
following the Breath
following the Spirit
of Life


submitting
to Life
fulfilling the Spirit's need
choosing
and being chosen
to go
where the Spirit of Life
leads
totally selfless
and free
free
free


with every step
opening
opening the eyes
awakening
becoming more aware
more attentive
more receptive
to the possibilities
and potential
of Life


perceiving the Beauty
of Life
Everywhere
   
 
 
    perceiving the Spirit
of Life
within Everything


living
learning
through experience
discovering
the meaning and purpose
of Life
moment by moment


moment by moment
related
connected to Life
the Creation
of Life
the Inspiration
of Life


knowing
feeling
experiencing
the Love of Life
revering Life
valuing Life
affirming the gifts and blessings
of Life
in humble thankfulness
and trust


trust
trust in Life
trust in Spirit
growing
growing
ever stronger
ever certain
of the Source
the Everlasting
Eternal
Life Source


growing
growing
always growing
ever more balanced
and Whole

growing
always growing
ever more Conscious
and Alive

a new horizon
