Crisis - Danger / Opportunity

That line is my truth
I have no other
To offer when asked like that
I am unfortunate for it
For again and not a-gain
It does affect the world
That i am in and can't share

I don't have answer
At times not even question
For what kind of resolution
All that i know is existence
In here in this place
In this time

And if all this is
Just pure conjecture
Then don't blame me
Blame the heart,
That is not mine....

Opened Heart

Try to maintain an ever opened heart
It will help to get through
Try not to be ever still
Thats only to be in photographs and portraits

Our silence (feelings and thoughts)
Is like waves which make
The sun shine and the moon reflect
And all else
Our words and actions
Are like gravity
Noise detached from the silence
Their weight makes us
Slump backwards and forwards
Like a pendulum in perpetual 2D motion

At this juncture 11.59.10/23/04/09 i dont even know for whom i am writting this text message for. I feel compelled to get these thoughts and feelings (silence) out of me. otherwise they will become internal noise. It could be for you but then again not...............

The Goings and Comings

I am here now
But this is not all
I am there now
But this is not all either
For i am there now but older
And i am there now but younger
There is no past tense
To say that i was
And there is no future tense
To say that i will
I am for every moment since
And likewise
I am for every moment hence
The me before still is
The me to be there is
For i lived yesterday
And i live now
Then why can't i see
That too in the morrow i live
In the now
Somewhere and somehow
Each moment that i have expired
And each moment to be expired
Exists and does so
Internally, externally, infinitely
These are the so called
Parallel worlds
And so from the now (know) of the Now
To the now (know) of the Then
To the now (know) of the There
There is a link
We are connected

Akin to the domino piece
I can fall backwards
And collapse all that is behind
Or
I can fall forward and collapse
All that is ahead
Or
Akin to a ray of light
From t he now of t he Nows
Illuminating the by-gones
When reflecting
And illuminating the be-comes
When projecting
Each beat of my heart
Is alive and well
Each beat of my heart to be
Is alive and well
The before has only gone
The next is only to come
The come and they go
They arrive and they depart
But this isn't simply a situation
Of goings and comings
When observed aright
Going isn't other than coming
Beat from the before
Brings balance to the point
Of the now for the
Beat of t he be-after
The poin of now is
Only pivotal, but
This is no small matter
For no matter how much
The variance betwix
Before and thereafter
There is always now
Being centered is
Neither here or there
Being balanced is be and all
From the now cure the past
And heal the future existence
Or heal the past and cure the future
From the now
Find the pivot point
for the be-fore and be-after

by affecting the before and after you will live in the now and in a balanced way

of coming and going. when observed aright going isn't other than coming"
footnote: just imagine that each beat of the heart that has been and is to be and is now is
always alive and well in existence. what a quantum affect!
