i think that each of us is capable of being midwives to our personal philosophies and thus can easily dissuade the influence of powerhouse schools of thought we find pervasive in mass media, our parents, church, and even institutions of learning. i think we can be assassins of mediocrity and boredom, and can prove to ourselves that the world is not set...that we are authors of our books, spies of our perceptions, and scientists of our behaviors.

pad thai and yerba matte magic
this time around, more salient than ever, i feel fully conscious of the INFLUENCE that people have on others and i feel conscious of the influence others have had on me and i to others...it is both enlightening and amazing...it seems to make much sense...its consistent and explains quite much...not only so, but it also brings the issue of us being a rather more reactive organism or a free willful one...this is still in question but for how long?

a morning newspaper with no language
at times..i feel true and i feel balanced, but most of all i just feel
it is devoid of time, of anything in particular
it is both shapeless and nameless, without specificity to words
or any feeling we can define with words we know
or believe we think we know
i feel that i am existing somehow both with everything and nothing
as a grand oneness, as it all is me, everything i can see
and things i do not
if i close my eyes it is the same
i feel i am the way smoke moves...it is and also becomes silk in a way
i feel i am also a blade of grass, existing in pure randomness
unaware of its affect and innocent of its influence
just being, just trivial yet so important
....right in the middle of it all...this infinite story
both shadows and sunlight continuing here and there
just putting around, always arriving and departing to now and then
like a sailboat without its oars, unafraid, unprepared, unattached,
floating everywhere

maneuvers made similarly with synergy
it is possible for two souls who never met to be entirely familiar...i felt this today
a feeling found where leaves play
in the speckles of the rock with patterns convinced
an empty blister on each and every fingertip
to a line atop the water in a glass
where evidence of life in the cold air
of grain
of cloud
of a lump in a frogs throat
of a path within its fur
a hidden chord anxious to be discovered
energy so worthy and formless
unyielding and resilient
aware of its existence
honest and sincere
leaving marks and passing with no tracks
sensing
and gluing with noble care
floating between wrecklessnes and warmth
an empty blister on each and every fingertip
to a line atop the water in a glass
where evidence of life in the cold air
of grain
of cloud
of a lump in a frogs throat
of a path within its fur
a hidden chord anxious to be discovered
energy so worthy and formless
unyielding and resilient
aware of its existence
honest and sincere
leaving marks and passing with no tracks
sensing
and gluing with noble care
floating between wrecklessnes and warmth
