Taproot by Valerie Parente
Praying
and daydreaming
are one and the same
wanting
and envisioning
share the same face
it starts in the body
then goes out in space
it starts in the soil
then branches away.
I used to think falling to my knees was only for begging
but it’s really for manifesting
because when you’re down on your knees
you’re closer to the ground
closer to the seeds
where it all sprouts out.

Dreamcatcher by Valerie Parente
To catch a dream
you must live with the thought
as if your dream
is already caught.
All you found in your sleep
cannot be lost
just write it down
to manifest the plot.
You’ve seen if before
you will see it again
this time, awake
the way you imagined.
Your dreams are manifestations of your mind.
Your mind is a manifestation of the universe.
Your universe is a manifestation of your dreams.
Creation never ends, it only morphs.

The Originator of Matter by Valerie Parente
The Originator of Matter
is she who can manifest
any object of her desire
using the heart in her chest.
She teaches her disciples
how to hone this skill
able to materialize objects
out of nothing but will.
“The key is not imagining the object existing
it is imagining how it will feel when it exists,
live as the impact is already real
and you will create your every wish.
The power of your will
is not through thought
the power of your will
is a feeling through the heart.
You must take on the feeling
as if you already have what you covet
because there is a future version of you
that already knows you’ve won it.”
