is it selfish
to pursue something you love
something that’s for yourself
something that feeds your soul
(or however you want to call it)
is it selfish
to care for yourself

Temporary Sanity
My
Sweet profanity
May I submerge
Myself inside of your
Insanity

Wednesday Song-“Keep Your Arms Around Me” By Otis Redding
“Keep Your Arms Around Me” By Otis Redding
Your arms around me
How can I complain
With your arms around me
Uhm, I know I’m a lucky man
With your arms around me
Honey, I’m taller than a tree
So all I can say is
Keep those arms around me
When I woke up this morning
Oh, I had an aching head
The pain was so great
Uhm, I almost fell out of bed
Then you put your arms around me
Then you kiss me three times
And in a matter of seconds
I never felt so fine, oh no, oh yes I did
With your arms around me
I can feel no no no no pain
With your arms around me
Uhm, I know I’m the worlds strongest man
With your arms around me, yeah
If I was blind I know that I could see, oh now
All I…

The Place
our blessed place is lost in time
between somewhere and there
no map exists where it is found
for only we know where
and in this land we lose us too
in each other’s grace
the clocks stop still and days won’t end
within our blessed place.
The Rain
the rain tells tales
of where it’s been
and where it hopes to fall
it speaks in tongues
the faithful hear
and answer to its call
the clouds themselves
hold mysteries
that they would never show
but the rain’s
whispering lips
give all that they have known.
He Who Is Discerning
Let he who is discerning
guard the mind not allowing it to
seize upon whatever it desires.
Tame your mind
guiding it gently to thoughts
of loving kindness and deeds
to match these happy thoughts
for wise is he who subdues
this wayward child, guiding
it ever to the Light of Love.
That Which Is Essential
How foolish are our desires.
Mistaking the unessential
to be essential
we spend our lives
pursuing that which
we wrongly think is
success and its robe
of many colors
only to find that in the end
what we longed for
was not to be found
in status, power, luxury
or anything of the material world.
Then what is essential?
What will give us contentment
a life well lived?
Certainly nothing
unless we have love
in our hearts for
without love
all else becomes fool’s gold
cotton candy of unfulfilled dreams
leaving us empty and alone.
Yet with love
modest dwellings become castles
humble meals are feasts
quiet walks in the countryside
cool water on a hot summer day
all that we have and do
becomes luxurious when love
flows from our hearts.
Locked Inside
Piano waiting
The music is locked inside

What I Learned By 111 Days Sober (111 days!) – Allison Marie Conway
I feel like this post in particular is like a total throw back to blogs when blogs were a brand new thing. Like you just hopped onto the internet and said shit as though it were in your journal onl…

We come into this world not knowing what to expect. Sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s good, but life and living are always a struggle, with few rewards.
If parental love and support always lacked
If abuse and neglect was an everyday fact
A child’s mind and soul is under attack
Natural behavior patterns are reprogrammed and hacked
All so the abuser can life force extract
A new life’s love and joy ransacked
Growing up learning love is a transactional act
Darkness no sunlight can counteract
A planet busters impact
No child can survive intact
No one told me,
in my haste to grow up,
that adulthood, awash
with responsibility,
would also be lonely
And, no one told me
that the days and nights
of sweating over lessons
would likely not lead
to the life imagined
nor that…
