Day Two: Sparkle

Word of the Day: SPARKLE

Image of the Day: unicorns

Token of the Day: spotty trainer socks

SPARKLE: the name of these lovely singing and dancing unicorns who are part of my blessing of unicorns. The Sparkles are Rose (see photo!), Pearl (just in background) and Amethyst (not shown).

The immediate sensation i experience is lightness, brightness, joy, childlike happiness!

And then i start thinking about SPARKS, the Divine Spark. Things that spark off, creating sparkles. I turn to the online dictionary to assist me in my reflecting:

to throw out sparks
to effervesce
to become lively or animated
to cause to glitter or shine

Its etymology is Middle English, frequentative of sparken: to spark (13th Century)
(frequentative: denoting repeated or recurrent action or state - used of a verb aspect, verb form, or meaning)

Sparkle

Throw out sparks
ignite the fire
spirit effervesces - fizz! pop!
aura glitters and shines
animated by one touch
from the tip of the horn
of the holiest of holies
-The Unicorn, the Redeemer, the Christ.

Once sparkled
i become, i live,
i move, i inhabit my being

But this can easily dissipate
if i wander away,
fail to recognise
- my belief brings
Unicorn to life, raises God from the dead.
