Seeking…
We are all seeking some thing from what we do… How does one explain the joy they get from doing what they do? There is an art to what I do… I donut over stand how I do what I do or even some times what inspires me to write what I write… This is my creative outlet… This is the flood gate of emotions, ideas, whimsical imagination that is me… It is from this that I grow in different directions… I am seeking what I am looking for… what that is in particular I have no idea… I know where I will find it… for I know I possess that talent, that gift… I am unable to see, hear or feel it yet… I know I will… I am experienced enough to know that it is the journey that will expose the talent to me… That brings the gift of me to a higher place… I will awaken one day and know that I have found what I am searching for and then be sent off on another quest to find another peace… It is also true that I get a lot from what I do… passion, desire, even lust exists in each day… Passion for words… desire to share and a lust for life that seems strange… but has taken me to a new and wondrous place… I need only a few words to spark my imagination and send me down another road… maybe one I have knot yet traveled…
Before we begin to care for another we must care for who we are… It is the who we are the knowledge of that that allows us to bring ourselves to the care of another… We may look forward and it is true that the future can seem clouded or gray… Unclear the future is always changing… in motion… a decision today changes the future… until it is done there is always room for a change… What begins as a gesture of a kind nest to others is really a plea for a kind nest for ourselves… Our motives are what they are and in the end what does it matter really?
Reminds me of a definition of spiritual love… the act of loving some one effortlessly unconditionally without expectation or even a hope of receiving anything in return… close to what is given… A love of the spirit that resides within… A love that sees past the actions to the gift inside… It is doing things from the heart for the heart to the heart… without being seen, acknowledged or recognized as having touched the hand that needed it… If you are searching for a reason to my writing… my reaching out to others… the truth may be found some where in those words… A little inspiration goes a very long way…
People tend to remember their dreams when I am around… A fact that I have noticed… When you sleep and dream… you pick a peace from the dream tree and it stays with you during the knight that guards hue in the glow of delight that you remember now those wanderings and take them to heart… for it is in the heart that a wish is made… and a wish as we all know is a dream your heart makes…
All days are numbered… from birth to death… number one to what ever number it is that we pass on to the other side… Life challenges us to live each day as if it was the last of our numbered days… When we lose sight of the twists and the turns of the ride we get puzzled… That puzzle holds us back from the experience… Reach out and live day number what ever and when the page of today is written there is some thing to write about… The truth is we are all living on time borrowed… it is what we do with the chance that matters most…
Chances…
Chances, opportunities, possibilities exist each and every day for us to learn… Some we choose others we avoid… The possibility exists even today that we will gain a knowledge that has been following us since birth that we just didn’t notice until now… When ever we are sure or certain… or in the know… we need to step back and ask ourselves what else we are not noticing now… for it is in those times of certainty that we are led to believe we have all the answers… We think we know… and that is the deepest lie we can tell ourselves… Some times it does take a jolt to bring us out of our created reality… most it is just being blind to what is going on outside out own head… A great deal of humans spend their entire life inside… and never see the trees in the forest… the leaves on that tree or the beauty of the branches… or they see the entire forest and not one solitary tree at all… The ability to see it all detail or over view makes a world of difference…
Some time ago my life changed radically… I will not retell the story for I am bored telling it… Suffice it to say that we would not be talking to each other if I had not… I play a lot of games and I was doing the best I could with what I knew to do… The change was in open eyes in open mind… in an open heart… to see the world as more then singularly dimensioned… We can not step over our responsibilities… yet we need to balance them against our desires, our passions, our needs so that we find the peace that allows us to be whole, true and the individuals we aspire to be…
When your head bangs against the wall use the door… when the door is locked enter through the window… when that is barred use the chimney… When it seems that every means to enter has been boarded, blocked or barricaded ask yourself what else you are not noticing now… What are you not seeing that will gain you insight to gain entry… How does one enter without notice and open the door from the inside out… many times we pound on the entrance when the back door is wide open… many times we push when a pull is required… many times we are left out in the cold when a warm fire invites us to sit, to warm ourselves… If we only take the time to notice we will see what eludes us… Some times in life the easiest things make the biggest difference…
A spin…
I took her out for a spin… a roam about… a walk about town… a hand extended to hers we walked… strolled the pathways of our life times together… We spoke of other times, of our desires, we exchanged pennies for thoughts… a look across a table… a dream unspoken… was formed in our eyes… We can spin the words… believe the dream… push it aside and deal only with the reality that is present before us… We can stop and just sit within the dream and let the experience rule our lives… we can do so many things that the effort to go on is a struggle or we can simply enjoy the sensation of being… Being alive… being a friend… a lover… a voice inside some ones head… An illusion in time… a sentry… a guardian… a voice of reason… a voice of insanity… a child, an adult… a writer… a painter… a poet… a dreamer… a realist in time with time suspended I wish… and it does come true… wishes do come true… they step out of the realm of dreams and they appear before our eyes and we are shocked by the wonder…
She spins now about me in circles and in waves… the poetry of her in motion… her sounds illuminate me… she is both a dream and a reality… a passion, a desire… a lust for living each day that brings us closer… What she sees and what I see are different for she is a reality and I am a dream… I am the whisper and she the word… I am the four winds and she sees the hard facts of those winds on her life times… I am an illusion that walks and see is a reality that wishes and dreams and the two will meet and at times have done so…
Time rambles along with me… I have much to do about nothing in particular… I have my in roads to another place… Another time… Time stands still each day while I wander here… I expect nothing… I anticipate nothing… I am inspire by the way I feel… by the joy I get from stepping out of me… I am inspire by the hue that surrounds me… I am taken to poetic wanderings…
Pushed I was onto this rode… pulled down beaten tortured stunned I rested off to the side of this way ward path… It shone out from the others… and I wandered upon it… I have never looked back to see if it was the right one… I know in my hear that it was… I take with me the responsibilities I inherited from those ways and I will keep them with me all the days of my life times… They are the me that I am now… As I laid there sore, bruised and battered… A hand reached out to me and encouraged me to walk a bit in time with time… along the way I met others… and they have made all the difference…
In to each life a single saint must fall… a single moment when we can look back and see the hand of the Gods resting upon us… steering us to a particular place in time to do a task that is worth doing… and that one time changes us forever… that one time inspires us to be altered… to be alive… and from that moment on we are… we are focused… true and guided by a higher form of reality… In my case it was the hand of a angel that touched mine… smiled and stepped out of my dreams… I will forever be thank filled for that smile, that hand, that shoulder… Her words still speak to me each morning… her inspiration fills me to this day… it is she that reaches out from the dream of another reality that splits the seems to show me light in the darkened void… I am alive because a dream reached into reality and made it so…
Noticing…
The sky cleared… the sun peered out… a wisp of lavender… or vanilla filtered in with the air… What is noticed? What is knot? What is planned and what is spontaneous? What is real and what is taped or altered? I have noticed that over time we all need to know what we believe are truths…
The illusion…
Time stands still… it is an illusion for time never stops… just seems that way some times as we await a response… As we reach out our hand in a kindness or in friendship or in the taking of another to some place… What we are searching for is not as important as the search… What we realize along the way is that we had all along what we searched for… It was the journey that proved it to us… that allowed us to see the gift that eluded us before…
Keys…
The keys opened so many things… a cabinet… a file… a car door… a back door and closet… the entrance to the attic locked away with treasures of other life times… The keys sat there on the hook over the shelf under the window for a life time… used every now and a gain was made… a look into some thing to find some thing… a search realized and completed… what are those keys that open the doorways that reside within… they are words… simple words…
One step…
Take one step… and you are closer then you were before you did… One word spoken… is one more that not be repeated… time acts swiftly to repeat the process… to remind us of the time… Words are the instruments of the mind… the way one says what is on their mind… they need to be repeated… often… they are not said enough… There are those that need that pat on the back… every now and again… then there are those that never wish to be counted… speak of be spoken to… listen while you speak sew that the words you weave are sewn properly into the fabric of your mind… You are one step closer to a larger reality then you were yesterday…
Sad nests…
What I never tell is the sad nests that line a life… I do my best to avoid them… and if I happen to fall into one… I do my bestest to relate the story and then move on… I donut dwell in the midst of such places… They are along the road of life… they are the pit falls, the down roads… the off shoots we avoid at all risks… The costs are in time for we learn a great deal from this sojourns off of our desired place… We gain when we take from what has happened the lesson of the sad nest…
