Most of it was brutal
But beautiful
You never once said it would be easy
Promised
Till death do us
IN
There’s a fine line of intention between
God and Pan
I’ll simultaneously trust and grip the wheel for steer life
Dear lives
Go easier
Gently pressing petals
Between pampered feet and parchment
Oil changes miraculously
under hungry gullible street lamps
Ten virgins
One tired lady
And some tramp
Nailed her
Unconscious
To the manifestos
Of a rattled ravaged ravenous
Heart
I listened
And heard
My chapped lips coughing anxious prayers
in a burning juniper jungle
Endlessly telling
I love I love I love you
Only to wake up screaming
One time too many
To the suffocating stench of relentless ghosts
Taught me everything I need to know
To manifest the destiny you wrote
Dangling
A sentence here
A lecture there
by some self-promoting guru
Where out of sheer exhaustion
We surrender to the lesson
At the end of our dropped rope
Was there ever a valid doubt
That all power glory and honor is yours
Now and forever ~

In some beliefs, we ask to be born here. I don’t know if it’s that we don’t see what’s going on, we think we can make a positive difference, or we are fully aware that it’s going to be a roller coaster. As for myself, I’m trying to see the world less of a desert. Though there are good people all around, a person can still feel very lonely. It’s those of us that can’t see that can be the most judged. Perspectives vary significantly from the sighted to the blind. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a decent picture. My boss was at her end when she told me, “I don’t know why I can’t trust anyone!”
She was managing through the surveillance camera. Had I thought of it at the time I would have suggested that she turn it off, have some trust. Truth isn’t always the key to good management. Relationships are. Management are facilitators, shoulder to shoulder with the team. There shouldn’t be any perception of superiority. Though they do important work. It’s just as important as the janitor, in my opinion.
Society is a desert because it lacks proper connection, trust, and healthy relationships. Put an addict in a community of accepting, healthy members, where everyone’s needs are met, what do you think they would choose? How many of us accept another no matter what?
I’d say it’s pretty rare. Maybe I’m wrong.
I keep getting up in the mornings. I’d say that’s a huge sign of faith, one I share with most of humanity. How close are we to real change? People I talk to think it will never happen.
How quickly do people pick up fads? Now that’s a phenomenon. Just the right stimulus at the right time might be all it takes for a shift in consciousness. And really, that’s what it’s going to have to be, in order to secure this very lovely example of creativity. Don’t you think? Or, maybe, what do you think about it?
