thin ice
now when i talk
to you
i even write
with my hands
behind my back
i hold my breath
to let it out
before i speak
lest i should be
too heavy on the ice
and you
how do you feel
when you want to
let words run to me
are you afraid?
because i am.
missing your voice
or you mine,
one gagged
and floating,
the other hands
with fingers pressed
white behind his soul
to you
i even write
with my hands
behind my back
i hold my breath
to let it out
before i speak
lest i should be
too heavy on the ice
and you
how do you feel
when you want to
let words run to me
are you afraid?
because i am.
missing your voice
or you mine,
one gagged
and floating,
the other hands
with fingers pressed
white behind his soul
There are only two ways to live your life
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

"It may sound like a bit of word trickery, but the I is an eye. That is to say, the Self, as it exists within the conscious awareness of its own being, is not only a spark of the divine seed which gives life to all creatures or things, it is also an aperture, a pupil through which all of the impressions of the world fall into Being."
ja, i like that.
but this is not the word trickery...what i don't like so very much at all is the definition or description of man or any living creature or plant or river as a "thing" in this text.
It is not necessary to start there, to start with dead words and with a dead meaning..
well, step for step working oneself out of the historical etymology of words and out
of the engravings of ontology..
is it a ladder or a circle or a spiral?
it is snowing heavily outside, now.

well, taken with a grain of salt: but yes, no sense is true
Unless you love someone,
nothing else
makes any sense.

"Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.... Meaning lies in us."
