Stray Thoughts and Random Bits of Starlight

Thinking about friendship
adulthood, mystery, history and love
Time an invention to keep it all straight
yet it is a toy that we reorder and rewind
so to show its unreality
everything taking place concurrently
consciousness sweeps through it all
i find myself walking through yesterday with a brief stop next year

surrender
a feeling you enter into when you know you can’t win
a gift a decision to no longer play a game
that you designed to lose
yet surrender brings gifts
among them larger fields
that playing never could

words on paper or on the screen
how can you express what I’ve seen
flying, soaring answers found
hope and light abound

we take our 3d creations and we hang them on refrigerators
we jump up and down excitedly
“See what we did, see what we did”
Source smiles

Water and fire am I
the starry sky and earth as well
I feel the mountains and the grass
squirrels running up a tree in my forest
mermaids swimming off my shores
and ships flying through my sky
I walk through future fields
on distant planets
feel joy in my heat
no need for thought
understanding is always there
i take your hand
we walk through the night
and share this
you smile
and i touch galaxies..

Which is better
Striving to love
or railing against those not succeeding?

How can an angry ‘fuck you!’
sound better than “I love you’
no matter the context
and how can so many find the two equivalent?

Light shining out.
illuminating my being
showing a new way home
signal to noise ratio improving
cutting down on mental static
so i can feel what’s coming through
The myth of Entropy
The system is wide open
the light flashes through
illuminating matter
lighting the way
the way is light

My mind, the liar got left behind
thinks you climb a ladder when its easier to fly
I won’t get caught in his traps
I’ve stopped rapping his raps
intellectual’s not sexual and has stopped getting me off
talk to the soul cause the feats won’t listen
the writing of my being trump the pages of the sages and inside i have a compass that always points towards home
If the mob rules then i salute Mab’s wisdom tho i minor in treasures and major in my leisure not seeking pain but pleasure tho joy is where its at
seeking dimensions beyond flat
undressed but not addressed, my potential is essential
watching kids play we move not stay,
the dance goes on tho i may be gone
i travel to unravel and revel tho disheveled
and yet I’m on a level that has been moving up
waking up, not hitting the snooze no more
feeling love that’s universal
joy that’s overflowing
light thats non-reversal
shining through my soul
connecting to my source
glowing with the force
yet one more entity
who’s claiming my identity =)

Earned Pain Understanding

Please don’t take away my pain
I’ve earned it
I’ve walked through the fire
I’ve felt the burn
I needed to
How else could I understand the pain of others?

If you feel friendship towards me
let me have this.
Tell me “It get’s better”
even “I’ve felt it too”
but don’t try to remove this hurt from me
just understand
I asked for this lesson
I brought myself to this
so that I would know this feeling
and am grateful

When you feel the fire
I’ll be there for you
for that is what we’ve built
Sharing tears, joy, pain and laughter
building understanding
evolving

One day I won’t need this
but for now
leave this to me
It is as much a part of me
as the joy I’ve felt
ant the love we share.

Quote of the Day – September 19 2010

Gamble everything for love.

If you are a true human being.

If not, leave this gathering.

Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.

You set out to find God, but then you keep

stopping for long periods at mean-spirited roadhouses.

Don’t wait any longer.  Dive in the ocean, leave and let the

sea be you.  Silent, absent, walking an empty road, all praise.”
