Reflection

Reflections
All one people
All one time
The being our makeup
The being our mind
Scared of each other
Walking this line
Together to see
Of what we could be
is nothing more
than what we are
with eyes in our head
that can't see but form
to bad for tommorow
outside of the door
because we can't feel
just outside our grasp
the handle of all things
untill they have passed
humanity worries
well that it should
searching in places
of theory and song
the vibrant discourse
i am and i know
I believe what i read
I believe what i'm told
others unlike me
contempt and disgust
my will i shall force
my will I shall thrust
till the throats of my brother
choak in red rain
I know I am right
but what have i gained
and so the cycle
of man in his wisdom
is facing a wall
but of all times as this
has chosen to fall
his eyes to a fist
cleanched tight for the pain
hear, its my whisper
to all of my brothers
and sisters alike
you eat your own soul
because you can't see
with those eyes in your head
that you
are no more than me.

National guard

Hello,
I know this is an art blog but,,, I want to make a simple comment on a "not so simple" situation.
Once again our commander in chief has failed in the name of our national interest. The reason why the national guard took so long to mobilize in the gulf coast is, they are, for the most part, in Iraq. Our national guard is supposed to be available for national care in circumstances such as the most recent hurricane. In the misconstrued name of national defense, "the Iraq war", our leaders have failed us at every turn with their misjudgment. In my life, I have never seen so many failures, in National, Domestic, foreign, economic or Environmental policies under one administrations watch. As a result our country and the world have entered a state of crisis.
While on the subject, for those who don't understand the impact of global warming here is a comparison. The Gulf waters are 3 to 4 degree's above normal. The earth is a living organism much like yourself. What happens to you, or any living thing for that matter when your temperature is elevated by just 3 degrees. It is time for mankind to examine themselves, cancer kills its host.

If cave paintings were of compassion

Sometimes I wonder what we are going to leave for others to see. Perhaps we don't believe in evolution, perhaps we don't have time, to believe that we don't know. Perhaps if we didn't believe we are the chosen ones knowing all the answers, then perhaps that would be to hard to believe. All I ask is, just look around, at the world, at humanity. Is it that we don't have time to wonder? Not much time has passed since our legacy was that of the hunt, of merely survival.

My many sides

It was either this or a dish full of apples.

sowing the seed of life

this is mine (for today)

Hi,
If the decision process is still on going here is a bit which can put me on either side.
Here's a thought I just had while working on my house, lets see if I can verbalize it.
Our concept of god, all consciousness, always knows what we do,
Our current view on physics, there is no now, past or future. True, odd but that’s where they’ve come to.
The big bang, our concept of the beginning of time.
Brian’s thought.
God or whatever the heck it was contained all consciousness that we experience (all of us in all time) it was the creator of consciousness as we know it, but this was its consciousness. Something went awry whether it is death or something we can’t imagine and BANG! all of its consciousness was released and we have the beginning of time, but time is only consciousness from something else so it doesn't exist in the now, and because of its form, the past or future either, so here we are a drift thinking that something is watching over us yet that something is exactly what we are, so in effect we are alone in its consciousness and it isn't going to save the world. So now we are the creators or re-creators and here we go again, remember what I said about heaven and hell? so how does it feel to be nothing but the figment of something’s imagination, and it isn't even here anymore, it also give credit to the collective consciousness, it you think about it almost explains all the metaphors for religions and life, now for the even more interesting part, there is a molecule in you and me which is the door to all things, it even gives credit to Gandhi don't kill that fly! So are you also looking for that molecule in you called creation?

and
Exploration. The folly of civilized man in my mind is that recognizing self has become recognizing self importance.

the big bang of consciousness

The answer to what is heaven or hell.
Our lives are spent creating, each moment each act of consciousness is a creation, ever lasting in eternity. To live our lives with compassion, caring, love, respect, free from judging and divisive acts becoming pieces of the universe, this is heaven eternal, the fabric of life beyond our awareness'. If we can all understand this the concept of our actions, words and deeds being that which we are, in wave upon wave for all eternity, then for each of us how we live and act may take on a new meaning, for heaven and hell are real. When meaning beyond the abstract is found, to see that we are the creators and what we create is forever, then this understanding becomes a meaning which may change the world, for who you are in each moment is timeless and eternal. end.

Emerging

In us all, that molecule called life
where seperation is only concept
of our mind which resists
how am i not just part
but the ocean as whole
when at the same time my being
seems to live with its own soul
when you understand something
not just passing of words
that we have always been swimming
in this constant of stars
and your mind and your body
are just shells in the game
part of the puzzle, if we new how insane?
its all in one instant one molecule one time
where all things exist which seem
to originate from your mind
its not in the mud, its not in the stars
but inide of me, and you and the ocean
this crytal ball, unlocks all mystery
take a look no tools are needed
no microscope or telescope
just you in yourself, peering deep
into life with everything else.

Crouching Tiger

There's nothing simple

There's nothing simple about the matter
nothing easy or natural
that I can do
with matters that I hope and dream
and dream because I can't
always have
what I want
when I want it

I think.

So I dream instead so when
I wake at least I'll know
some of my life
is spent
easy and natural and how
I want
Oh nothings easy
so I dream, hoping that its real

Trying to get by

Trying to get by

I bought a new briefcase

in hopes they'd see me differently

Trying to get by

I bought new clothes

In hopes they'd see me differently

Trying to get by

I changed my tune

In hopes they'd see me differently

Trying to get by

I acted like them

in hopes they'd see me differently

Trying to get by

I changed myself

so they can see who I am.

Dragon lair (life)

The dragons lair


Alone I sit in the Dragon's Lair, alone

I sit yet still I'm scared,

Alone by myself, hoping for God,

This nest dark cave without a window

This mind this soul

In front of the mirror

To ignorant

To simple

To much truth to the matter

If you me and all

Somehow turn out to be

This God this thing

We hoped had our responsibility

Then all acts and reason are ours all alone

Where’s the comfort in knowing

Everything we do is something we own.

Brian
