Post No. 174: For St. Patrick's Day 2014 — "The Pot Of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow!"

The Pot Of Gold At The
End Of The Rainbow!

I think that the phrase "Finding
The Pot Of Gold At The End Of The
Rainbow" is actually a reference to
"Creating The Wealth Of Self-Love!"

In other words, "Finding The
Pot Of Gold At The End Of The
Rainbow" really means creating a
Self-Loving and Abundant Life!

Therefore, if you live a Self-Loving,
Self-Directed and Self-Sufficient Life,
"Finding The Pot of Gold At The End Of
The Rainbow" actually means "Creating
The Pot Of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow!"

My Writing For St. Patrick's Day 2024 [March 17th, 2024 Update No. 1] (Originally From My Blog Post Titled, "I Am No Longer Being An Activist In The Same Way That I Was," Which Is On My "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" Blog): Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!

By the way, the proper shortened name for St. Patrick's Day is "St. Paddy's Day," NOT "St. Patty's Day," as explained below from Merriam-Webster.com:

St. Patrick’s Day can be referred to in informal contexts as “St. Paddy’s Day.” Paddy is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of Patrick, which is Pádraig, and for this reason is usually preferred over “St. Patty’s Day,” which could also be mistaken for the shortened form of the name Patricia.

And the following is 'My Writing' for St. Patrick's Day 2024 (or, "St. Paddy's Day" 2024, as noted above).

My Writing About 'A Bit Of Irish,' Version No. 1: There's a little bit of Irish in all of us! –Paul Whiting (written March 13th, 2024 and revised March 17th, 2024)

My Writing About 'A Bit Of Irish,' Version No. 2: There's a bit o' Irish in all of us! –Paul Whiting (written March 13th, 2024 and revised March 17th, 2024)

My Writing About Luck Not Being An Accident: Luck is no accident! For, luck is based upon hard work and honesty, assuming calculated risk, facing your fears, planning ahead and following through, making mistakes, then learning from those mistakes, and doing better in the future. Thus, the reason that you can be lucky in the future is because you were hard working and honest in the past! –Paul Whiting (written March 13th, 2024 and revised March 17th, 2024)

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I think that the phrase 'Finding The Pot Of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow' is actually a reference to... ....'Creating The Pot Of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow!'"

Also, beginning in January 2013, I tried to create a post for virtually every holiday and special occasion of which I was aware, but I realized by September 2014 that I did not have enough time and energy to continue posting for every holiday and special occasion. And I decided to keep the poems in that series which were the most relevant to this blog, of which this is one.

And this poem was also published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 129: You Cannot Stop A Rainbow

(Image from Planted In Love)

You Cannot Stop A Rainbow

You Cannot Stop a Rainbow!
You Cannot Stop the Sun's Glow!
You Cannot Stop the Moon's Flight!
You Cannot Stop the Chakras' Light!
You Cannot Stop the Stars' Show!
You Cannot Stop a Rainbow!

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: This poem is a reworking of a poem that I originally wrote for The Egyptian Revolution of 2011, which was titled, "You Cannot Stop A Global Digital Stage!"

You see, I decided to delete some of the poems that I wrote which were about current events in order to make my poems more "allegorical and timeless"; however, I took the basic concept of the above-mentioned poem and rewrote it to convey the idea that there are things in God's Creation which cannot be controlled by those who wish to control them—so they can try to control God's Creation—and also so that they can attempt to make God bend to their will.

And this poem was also published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 070: For Self-Reflection, Part 4 — All The Colors Of The Rainbow!

(Image from Chakra Anatomy)

All The Colors Of The Rainbow!

Sometimes, we are ragingly angry
and want so much to place blame.

Sometimes, we are wildly desiring
and then want more of the same.

Sometimes, we are totally willful
so we can finally get things done.

Sometimes, we are gently heartfelt
so that we ultimately do no wrong.

Sometimes, we are daringly vocal
in order to just speak our peace.

Sometimes, we are so mindful
in order to attain being at ease.

Sometimes, we are self-loving
about the feelings we can show.

Then, sometimes, we express
All The Colors Of The Rainbow!

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "All The Colors Of The Rainbow" are the Chakras—or the Energy Centers of the Human Body: 'anger' is red; 'desire' is orange; 'will' is yellow; 'heart' is green; 'voice' is blue; 'mind' is purple; 'self-love' is pink, since there are seven Chakras! And 'all the colors' combined are represented in their totality by white.

And you will notice that the Chakras are, in fact, the colors of a rainbow, because they represent The Light Of God (which is a white light, literally like the light of the stars in the universe, including the sun of our solar system) divided into its individual aspects—in the same way that a rainbow is sunlight divided into the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink through the prism of rain water droplets.

Just so you know, I revised this poem, as I often do with my writing! And I changed how this poem was written when I was editing it on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer," "Small All White in the Forest" and "Three Dark Horses" blogs. So, I wanted to show you how this poem used to be written, before I revised it as above.

And it used to be written like this:

All The Colors Of The Rainbow!

Sometimes, we are ragingly angry
and want so much to place blame.

Sometimes, we are wildly desiring
and then want more of the same.

Sometimes, we are totally willful
so we can finally get things done.

Sometimes, we are gently heartfelt

Sometimes, we are daringly vocal
in order to just speak our peace.

Sometimes, we are so mindful
in order to attain being at ease.

Sometimes, we are self-loving
about the feelings we can show.

Then—sometimes—we can express
All The Colors Of The Rainbow!

Thus, I revised this poem to be written as it is above.

And this poem was also published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
