Tell Me…

…why does the sun shine upon the young and old; the strong and the feeble; the rich and the poor and the wise and foolish equally when clearly they are not?

…why does the rainfall comfort me in a way that a sunny day cannot?

…why do tears signal both joy and happiness as well as pain and despair?

…why must it be so exhausting in the company of many while so peaceful in solitude?

…why isn’t beauty and happiness seen as a universal concept instead of dictated by the beholder?

…why am I separated from the Constant of creation and the Spirit of Wisdom though they beckon me and I for them?

…why am I allowed only to glimpse Truth but not experience its full beauty and magnificence?

…why have I been allowed to be raised in what is considered foster care at best while my Family be not far from me?

…why are YOU not here to explain all of this to me now and nourish me within the knowledge that is so desired?

Please tell me!

Roll II

This is how I roll!

 

Show Me How You Roll?

Do you run with the pack or the bulls or are you like a Lone Wolf always enjoying roaming your own way?

Is it necessary for you to couple because you just can’t stand the thought of being alone for the rest of your life instead of just living it?

Come on, tell me how you roll.

Are you constantly searching for comfort and the ease of saying, “I would like you to meet my partner” or do you feel totally within your element of going where you want to and doing what you will because you truly can and want to regardless of what others my think?

Have you fallen under the mind control of the masses yet having to buy the latest fashions, cars and toys just to say you have them and feel so good when you show it all off to those so-called friends who haven’t really got a clue and don’t give a damn about you?

Tell me how you Roll!

Please don’t misunderstand and listen when I say that there is nothing wrong with settling down, having a two car garage; that special someone that you truly want to be with for life and perhaps enjoying comfort and the twilight of your years with a few rug-rats along the way.

But stop and think if that is what you want because you truly want it or is it because that is what you are programmed to want, think and have?

Is that going to be how you roll?

Take time and get to know you for the person that you are and want to be before trying to fill some unforeseen void in your life with Mr or Mrs Right Now who comes complete with a bag of future regrets and a vehicle packed with what “might have beens” in the boot.

Know and love thyself first before anything, appreciating the special and unique person that you are before rolling with any “old passer-bye” that caught your eye and may be headed your way.  You will save yourself years of headaches and therapy.

So…go on and “Show Me How You Roll”!

…And I hope it’s 7/11, all the way down the line for you!

Point To Ponder XIII…Why So Serious?

Wisdom II

One man’s Right is another man’s Wrong

One woman’s Failure is another’s Triumph

One dog’s Water Bowl is another dog’s Toilet

The truth is that perception of Right and Wrong and Good and Bad are influenced by man-made constructs which are often employed as a system of control meant to direct our actions and obscure our vision of ourselves and reality

The choices we make, the environment that moulds us, the deity we choose to serve (or not to serve) are all defined by perception which in-turn gives birth to personal concepts of how we view and interpret what is essentially positive and what is inherently negative

Now, what does this all mean?

“Just live!” Make the choices you desire to make but take full responsibility… for ALL of them!

For when the sun finally sets into its cradle of twilight and drifts deeply into peaceful slumber leaving you alone in the dark with your own thoughts and conscience, it is YOU who must bare complete responsibility… for how you have chosen to view the world around you; for the choices you have made and for the manner in which you have lived your life.  In that instant, despair may be your comforter and regret your pillow or you could embrace what is upon you and accept without fear the visitor that patiently waits beyond the shadows who comes to enlighten and illuminate what once was a cloak of misperception and confusion.

How will you choose to see then?

Ha…Ha…Ha!

Just A Thought (You Should Think Too!)

Mystic II

How are you feeling now? Consumed within the confines of your self-erected kingdom,  you continue to stack stones in order to secure the “nothingness” that lies within not comprehending that the blast from a trumpet will always reduce the fortified walls to rubble. Can you not see that what you have created and accumulated is worthless?  A world of dust erected by Beings of dust that will eventually return to dust.

From whom did you acquire this paradigm and from what power do you derive authority? The authority to take what you will? The authority to wage war, to conquer, to defile land and souls, to subjugate and to enslave? By what hand were you taught to fashion bows and arrows? By what hand were you taught to destroy?

Who determined that something as asinine as Hue and Religion or as inconsequential as Gender would be the defining factor in what your status is to be as well as the ability to direct, manipulate and control the world around you?  Who gave you the right to determine “who is Being” and who is “less of Being?”  To Be or Not To Be seems to be a question that is answered within the engineered mind that shakes the spear in self-deluded importance.  There is neither meaning nor reason in this.

For the Spark that birthed All did so in equality of what is, what will pass and what is to come igniting forever a dispassionate, unbiased and self-sustaining reality.  Giving it’s child the perception of Life and Death balancing out an equation that contemporary intelligence can not now decipher or define.

Just A Thought (on Regret & Reflection)

/ Mavrik / Leave a comment

Regret & Reflection II

Regret derives from failing to do what you wanted to do; not acting in a manner you desired or failing to say what you meant to say when an opportunity presented itself

Regardless of whether the action was right or wrong, regret is the reflection of that which we have perceived as a missed moment in time that has now culminated in an emotional sense of loss

In my opinion, it is a total waste of emotion as the reality of “what is” must be the focus.  Reflection for the purposes of growing and learning is a more valuable use of one’s time and energy.

Therefore, waste few precious minutes in “what was” and seek to grow yourself in the here and now – “what is”.

Half A Soul…Is Not Good Enough (Poetry/Lyrics)

My Destiny II

I wanna leave…and be free

Far away – from here

Come with me…and we’ll leave

all our cares..behind

Baby Please – Don’t ask me…

Why oh why – (not tonight)

 

Can’t you see…that I’m in need

of your touch – right now

The pain is deep…and I can’t sleep

Your love is on my mind

– Let’s not fight

Baby Please – Don’t ask me

Why oh why, Why oh why

Let’s not fight

…No, not tonight

 

Thoughts of you…and this heat

are draining me dry

Thoughts of you…and this heat

are draining me dry

…between the sheets

and it’s not right…cause you’re not here

 

Come let’s meet…the other half of me…and release

You will see

…All is fine, …All is fine – tonight

Don’t ask why, Don’t ask why

…why oh why

Don’t…Ask…Why

Just you and me, Just you and me

No one is on our side

Just you and me…with our seeds

You will see

Then we’ll fly

…So High – So, So, High

So Damn High

Tonight, Tonight…Just let the world

Stop and die – around us

…as we fly

It’s only you, It’s only you

…you and me, you and me

Half a Soul is not good enough

…for you or me

Hmm, Hmm.. Hmm, Hmm

Hmmmm, Hmm

You and me – Baby Please

Save me, Save me, Save me…….Please
