Day 19.5

Oops, it's technically an hour late so I'll call this day 19.5, I've been up late thinking a lot about where I stand these days-

 Choice

 How do you live between two cliffs?
Thinner ropes are wearing down
A grin is turning to a frown,
Drowned by conflict's greatest gift.

 Introspective self analysis, value arisen
From hatred and anxiousness--
Strayed from the cage in this
Wishful wisdom, a thoughtful decision.

 I thought being meticulous would solve my riddle,
I bought into planning the spanning of time
Yet still I cry with naught reason nor rhyme
As I find I have learned yet a little.

 Day by day our brain is whittled away
As the widow is filled with vicious voids,
Doors are closed by pain, your poise,
Your heart, your soul, they start to fade.

 The only choice, moving forward, is towards the voice
Of reason, and beacons for caring example
We're stamped by mortality, all siblings in battle
Against our mind's divisive noise.

 The thinnest remains will snap with the breeze
But the vice is isolation in sight of shame,
Lame and weak, yet can reach to save and
Together are strong as a thicket of trees.

Day 1, Genesis

The creation of this blog symbolizes my step to begin publishing and circulating my work on the largest scale possible. I wish only to make the world a better place as a result of my existence, and every cumulative major event in my life has led me to the realization that this is my true purpose. My gift for writing is not to be ignored, it's not to be hidden any longer: but rather pursued, appreciated, and shared. I am unable to change the world from the pages of a notebook, and thus I present the world with the first glimpse at what I have always dreamed to be my life's work. Without further ado: Genesis Beginnings, sugar sweet as glucose, Pumping through trees meaning new growth And breeze sweeping the land as throes Of mother Nature's diminishing prose, Who will save us, we don't yet know But someone must come to disclose the woes Of a world so furtively breathing below The suffocating breadth of a life we chose. Exploring more, destroying scores Of be...

Wealth

This excerpt reflects on something I've been thinking about almost every day of my life since I turned 18 and faced the idea of adult responsibility over money and material possessions. The transition to adulthood also carries with it the heavy burden of self maintenance, let alone enrichment, which usually falls behind our other commitments. Without further ado: Wealth Being wealthy is a matter of perspective— I’ve come to know a kind of wealth that has nothing to do with a bank account or physical assets. If you understand this immaterial wealth as I have, you hopefully spend more and more of your time worrying about it’s presence in your life. By extension you will spend less time considering the importance of material wealth and letting it hold you back from helping others. Let me explain: Due to environmental circumstances and self deception so many can not detach themselves from the bondage of anxiety over financial and material wealth. They will spend time wonder...

Regenesis

21 Becoming more than the person we are, consistently and concertedly, requires we cross the road of material desires and material suffering. There will always be material attachments; I seek not to renounce them but to view them from across a valley, at a distance. Only then will those considerations be secondary to what is truly important. Only from this perspective will I make peace with the depth of suffering that all can identify in the world. “We”, or rather the perception of what we call consciousness, are immaterial. Ideas, dreams— immaterial. Love, hope— immaterial. For those who believe only in science, or simply for the many disenchanted by religion, why do we spend so much time shutting our senses to the immaterial if it contains such things? Because we have had difficulty in attempts at perceiving signals from the immaterial plane? Because there is hypocrisy in the way that some try and decipher and explain the immaterial? In the intangible space that holds our enti...
