How is it possible
after all this time
to think of someone,
more or less, daily —
and never having met
knowing this
extension is deeply felt
right through the soul.

Kindness
Your kindness
from within you
was… is… my anchor.
Your love
glows out
these, the sails —
your breath, the wind
out hearts, the ebb and flow
spirits dance, any shore
to escape with
your kindness
from within you
was… is… my Anchor.

Answer
Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife! To all the sensual world proclaim, One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name.

There are two voices distinct and clear that I hear now.
One speaks through nature and everything built upon it —
it does not speak language; it speaks through symbols, items,
song, books, things found on the ground.
The other voice is the voice of all —
the voice of the enlightened I have met along the way.
Piecing it together,
a clear dialogue happens daily —
including...

Take a look at what has been feed through media.
It is understandable why many people are screaming in their streets.
They’re not “gettin’ any”.
Not everyone gets to be a baseball player, movie or porn star.
So, they acted out on the internet and gaming.
In the meantime…
Take a good look around
beyond your remotes and screens.

Please note the following:
Leaving, as in walking away, is not the same thing as ignoring.
The greatest test of strength any mind will face is to let go a part of yourself to re-claim a part of yourself.
Memory is an amazing tool —
it can trick and fool,
it can store and save.
It is your history —
a history one can tap into any time they like.
It is unfortunate that many have...

Being alone is not loneliness
One finds loneliness in the longing
The longing of another
Loneliness is given by someone else
And not generated in the stillness within

No shit
Pure Wildness
takes in all forms
Gentle, Rough
It has its own empathic system.
It never has time for —
Self-pity
Judgement
Or a false process.
It LOVES to dance and live.

Notes to my Anchor:
I’m something other
I’ve known that since I can remember — In this life
You have a place in my heart
It’s worked its way in
Greater than one complete orbit around
The Sun I see, the Sun I feel on my skin
As it greets me — as human
You are
All are
We are
Within the unnecessary struggles
A golden leaf
Soon to be reshaped into brittle...

I was taken out of my true self.
I was a spirit and knew…
the secrets of nature,
bird flight,
star wanderings,
and the way fish glide.

Quote in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s twelfth-century book Vita Merlini
