Matrix Moments

Media Moments: Question, reflect, connect

Unravelled

Facing yourself
comes out of the blue
unexpected realities
that can no longer be buried,
sometimes just a word
a look
a small action
is the trigger 
stirring soul’s murky waters,
confronting the now
with the past
Habits and behaviours that 
evolved compressing
life and creativity with
expectations and frustrations,
bringing pain and eroding self
life collapsing
into survival mode,
stuck and trapped
derailed from destiny,
annoying mind threads
that keep tugging
pulling at awareness
unravelling
who we are.

God, where are you?

Starting Thoughts:
We can suddenly discover things about ourselves in a sound, voice, thought, image that triggers us and faces us with who we are. Do we like the person we meet? At these points in life, and I think we face them more than once, the questions come.

Stop

Stop
Be still
Be open
Know…

Know love
Know the One above
Know I am
Know God is God

Stop
Surrender
Rest
In Expectation…

Know Power
Know the Ancient One
Know the Mighty Voice
Know the whisper of faith

God will be God!

Starting Thoughts: Do we need to STOP, to catch a moment where our hearts and minds slow giving time for our spirits, our souls, to catch up.

Spoken word poem on finding stillness and knowing our amazing God

Filling

Is life
Filling time
Filling space
Digging holes
Filling holes?
Making busy
Badging activity
Feeling frantic not fruitful
Making a living but not living
wasting inheritance
Suited up in expectations
of others
straitjackets serving success
Penguins parading parodies
Dying of the Dressed desperate.

Why are you Upset in the many things
When Few things are needed
If indeed only one
indeed... knowing the One?

Starting Thoughts: So busy in our lives we can't be present with those who are important to us. Can we find the One true God in the midst of all the things we own.

The Good

Genuine goodness that just wants to bring out the best in you. Can it be found? Yes!

My provision
My acceptance
My dreams for you
Are for good.

Good;
For your future
For your hopes
For the hidden
desires of your heart,
For testing times
When the path is not clear...

I am the good
Ahead, with and behind you.
Know I am
your eternal goodness,
Your God.

Clear

Love the unfolding layers of Shrek's onion analogy - here is a reflection on the layers in me, in us, and of how God's love deepens us, reveals us, enjoys us.

In the purity
of my heart,
Cleansed by Christ,
unfolds my uniqueness
with evolving intimacy
revealing clarity,
As I action love
my awareness
of His passion
continually deepens.

Puppet

Let go of the strings,
strings connecting you
to a false God
who you see
as the puppet master,
Controller
where He performs
manipulating you,
commands,
Laws...

He has
cut your strings and
let you go free,
and it pained God
to see you leave
His heart's desire
was still for you,
in all those times 
you turned your back, 
and then you realised
in a soul moment
you were made
in and for God's love,
hearing
His voice calling you,
turning back to 
your heart's home,
Turning to pure love,
Love beyond knowledge
new life love
Love deeper
Wider, more complete 
whole and beautiful
more powerful,
Love that crosses
the bleakness.

He runs to you
arms open
celebrating you
Loving on you,
wearing his searing scars 
because they tell his story,
Scars and holes
telling of powerful
resurrected love
poured out
cascading into your heart
bringing love's foundation,
Release and freedom again
to be true to yourself,
harmony
from the Anointed one
bringing Peace that 
flows inside out
A love that makes you vulnerable
To be an
Army of lovers
not holding back in fear
Of self
Of reputation
but rather being known
for your love
Unfolding love;
gold to your world.

Delight

The delight of
Love
that dances between
Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Honour
that flows between
Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Laughter
that bubbles between
Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Eternity
that powers
Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
Dance 
in the fullness of the Spirit
in the power of Jesus Christ
in the love of the Father.

Starting Thoughts: We can discover so much from just a touch from the outflow of connection that comes from the relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Love, joy, peace, hope and the power to live changed lives.

Spoken Word Poem on being Christ ot Others.

Fire

There was a time
back in Australia
When all seemed congratulations:
The surface achievements 
A fitter turner in mines,
Dollars rolling in,
single life living,
Million dollar property
a dream for
a man with a life ahead
all right mate!

But hardness, loneliness
preying women
misfired emotions 
lurked in my uncle's heart,
spiders poisoned his mind
black arts
webbing it in fear,
Pieces and peace lost
to dark thoughts
and he was captured
in the mental health system
Confined bleakness
surrounded by good helpers.

The early morning
sunrise rose a new day
and he took a last walk
threading a life line
of purpose
false purpose,
A refillable cigarette lighter
fiddling its tune in his hand,
floating intentions
of burning the blackness
from his life,
an operation he said
on the phone the day before
"that I might not survive,"
He arrived
to front courtyard brick drive
surrounded by faceless
building institution windows,
carrying the weight,
seeking to burn the pain,
arachnids danced,
he twisted Destiny's cap
spun roulette
on a spiral thread,
Sprinkled the fluid
from the thin metal
container
splashed ashes to ashes
dust to dust
above his head
on his clothes,
And the decision clicked
in his fingers
Lighter spark flared,
Fumes, clothes, hair ignited
burning it all away;
Burning deep
Skin, flesh, black spiders
to suffer three weeks
burn care,
Finally, fading away
into death's fire.

He heard a call...
thoughts trapped
What do you hear?
What will bring you life?

The Call

Hear a hastening
a happening in the nation,
the call of a thousand voices
Oh
too often we hear
the cries of pain, suicide
violence, indifference...

But now
the clear cascading notes
Songs of birds
totora forest deep,
the very rocks embedded 
in alp snow mountains
and tumbling white water rivers
are calling out a shift,
Above myriad stars stretch 
in daylight unseen;
in night time crystal shimmers
surrounding the steadfast southern cross,
from these galaxy dimensions
emanates the challenge of 
The Light.

"tihe mauri ora"

A karanga,
a call to life
changing the spirit
over the land,

the finger tips
and nose breath,
Christ spirit of God
touches and crisps the air.

Angels and humans stir
alike in the new,
Prayer, prophetic and praise
cloaks are laid in vapour
covering the land 
of the long white clouds,
And from the mist
of a generation gone,
the call to be
fully alive 
dancing in the image
of God,
standing strong 
taking risks
honouring
being love,
knowing the One
being one
knowing He has won.

The call;
to Step together into
the flourishing fullness of God
Alive, fresh in everything.

Ephesians 3:14
Prompt
A call from the land, from God, to revival, prayer, praise and prophetic words. Being alive in God, in Jesus.

Hearing God

White Tomb

Praising God
Spiritual Leapfrog
Love hopscotch
Church games
Thrill seeking
Upfront pretenses

Keep playing
with God
You'll end up with
Religion.

Starting Thoughts: Being counter-culture, being a rebel and putting time and love into community is what God is calling us to. Not playing god games and following the latest fad or thinking. It always amazes me that the people who upset Christ the most were the religious leaders of the day.

Integrity

In life's grit
There are
moments unwatched
by others,
small heroisms unseen,
thoughtful touches,
an honest thought,
a definite decision
to truth-give.

Courage's genesis
a straightforward heart,
Strength of, "No"
Power of, "Yes"
No guilt,
just assurance,
Not other's images
just yourself,
Your public face
mirroring private skin,
character beauty unfading.

In calamity
integrity tested,
In fear
integrity trialled.

Not slaves to ordinary,
walk,
stand tall with integrity.

Starting Thoughts: How strong is our "yes" and "no" ,do we wear skin deep morals or have we interwoven values into our character? Again - How much does the power of small decisions open our destiny?

Receipt
Approved

For the cheap price
of "caution contents hot coffee"
you can be sealed
with authorisation.

Cheap validation
Clings to your personality
Climbing your shoulders
Cesspool whispering
in your willing ears.
Like, love, share, comment
swirling paper thin motivations,
skinny relationships
spirit wasting entropy,
praise from honeyed lips
echoing the cheap
price of life.

One word
is all it takes,
changing external
endorsement
to internal truth identity…

Universe Contrasts

Milky Way,
childlike name for
a small smear
in an expansive universe,
boundless space beyond 
our thoughts,
Earth 
so small
invisible in the universe,
yet sweeping 
is the landscape of Earth
seaside sand beaches and sandcastles
flow to farm studded plains
rivers snaking and sparkling through
from snow capped alps
overlorded themselves by dark towering  
thunderhead clouds,
Contrasting beauty stillness;
song of bellbird
patterns of design
in flowers, seed heads,
all displaying 
vast and macro smallness,
two universes of space and closeup.
revealing a love extreme
infinite God almighty
yet one who knows me by name,
loves me 
loves all
because of His very nature.

Prompt
The vast and the tiny of our universe leads to God.

Bridal Walk

Scent of sunlight
hung in dew-robes air
mist gently fading
to blue skied
wings of daylight
Wind took 
unseen, unfelt feelings
played tunes of intimate charm
with the awakening,
deep in the enveloping spirit
a union of creation's enigmas
The bride is rising 
fingers dripping in myrrh
sensing the groom
quickening heart
a soar of angel wings
the order
of God arrives.

The Edge

Growing darkness
Merges with the shadows
of rustling, whispering trees
mountain forest clearing,
seconds of slow
starlight reflection
evolve
into clear creation.

You stand
cold wind
edging your thoughts
Looking at the stretched expanse
shimmering star lights
expanding dreams and hopes.

The world...
universes...

Made.

Towards You

Galaxies of thoughts
vast beyond number
yet each one
precious, treasured 
celebrated, measured
counted beyond
grains of sand 
pattens on a beach
moving ceaselessly in wind
and white outlined waves.
Counted with a power
that sees
that knows
that believes in
that loves
each idea particle
that timelessly trickles 
through the infinity hour glass
expanding my soul
enriching my spirit.

How precious are
God’s thoughts
Towards me
Towards you.

Starting Thoughts: Read Psalm 139 and you will see where this poem came from.
