VANITY THRICE

Phase
Creative thought intent
Behind it
Stretch muscles forming
In dance movement,
Stomach upward ripple,
Like watching a cat awaken,
Arms and fingertips.
Movements observed dance,
Like forms asleep,
Filmed studies patterns,
The general sense of well being
That all is certainly in Divine Order!
Too, answering
Questions - mind going
To sleep,
The stretch out
Sleep was connected
To the dreamer.
There were dreams just beneath
The surface
Quickly slept away - giving way
For the current state.

Yesterday re-organize
Table top stack,
Files clearing out
Unnecessary things
Trashing them.
How we accumulate 'stuff'?
To label for finding
Things thought!
Computerized version
With tabs
Alphabetized contents
With 'find' per item names
Pulling forth information
Locate files counterparts.
Too faster systems,
To really better use,
Spent a great deal
Time creating the first place,
To use it all
Now more efficiently!

Show ideas rental space,
Both studio and gallery,
Storage racks come to fore
In multiple forms:
Rules - there are no rules.
How do you want to do it?
Temporary space - show - x - times
Ongoing space - gallery.
Peopled!
How, others, hours, ads,
Employees vs co-runs, interests, co-ops.
Europe, New York, LA, others.
Investors?
National, International use of contracts,
Duplications - mediums
Writing, acting, other pursuits.
Free, creative use
'Frameworks!'
Fundings available?
Individual/co-op/etc.
Budgets/Proposals/etc.
Profit Corp./Non-profit corp.
Contacts, etc.
OPEN Systems!
Inter-related but one step at a time!

Claim and accept thoughts
Accumulated stuff
Ownership and responsibility!
Create and lose it, as prior abuse,
IRS, priors forward.
Unders, undeservings - self judgements,
Deservings - self judgements,
Pain arising from desire
To create love and give;
Thoughts expectings,
Not have, and
Non-expect, and
Not have, conditions - attachments;
Guilt - reactions to 'table'.
Mine use of it! True!
Don't control me! True!
Nor
Do control me!
Removal toys wanted
To share with time stories
What they were here for,
To be with me.
Haven't played all week,
Since last,
They are yet,
Where removed and placed them.
Reactions to 'controling' space time.
'Don't control' just 'play' - share energy Exchange,
In complex world.
'A suffering world',
The human condition experience - results
'Frameworks' created!
Accumulated stuff with
Forgiveness, Thanks, Amen!

Pain physical
Joy non-physical
How well can one dematerialize the pain,
Manifest the joy!
As the world is 'suffering'!
By nature - concretizing
Pain - creating
Pain - for human experience.
In order to rise above it,
While in it!
Comes with the territory
Why do you want to create pain?,
I don't want to create it,
I want to relieve it.
Is it a cause or a symptom?
Acknowledgement,
To see it and let it go!
Move through it,
Play the scene and exit!
What part does one 'choose' to play?
How and for what purpose?
Play animals are not hurt
When we animate them in play.
We give them stories, parts and scenes.
If you can't give it up,
It's not worth having.
We give it all up in the end!
The questions - Am I willing
To go through this?
Do I have a choice?
What want is
Immaterial,
What chosen is
At hand.
Choose once again.

No idea,
How easy,
Got it!
That's the pass down
Of the ages!
Parents/elders
To children/youngsters - all's the same!
Do it now!
Learn - skills - and use them
Now - carry them with you.
Creative tools!
Not that the road will be easy - it won't!
[it is and it isn't].
Give it all up in the end!
Ego, Ego, Ego,
Vanity thrice!
But then, it's not about the end,
The destination!
It is the journey,
The living of it; all of it!
Fully and completely!
Enjoy the game - with everything in it!
Like a board game or cards,
Winning or loosing doesn't matter,
It's playing and sharing
The energies with the players,
Then put the game away
And have some 'tea',
Coffee, refreshments and go home!
Victory or defeat become the same,
Non-existent!
There are times it seems,
One puts so much into it
To get nothing out of it,
While 'others'
Whom put so little in
Get so much out,
Who is along for the ride,
Or prior views,
With company,
Create it and the vultures come.
Learning the lessons
Of 'giving freely and being taken!'
Has one really learned
Anything with oneself?
Ownership - claiming responsibility Consequences
Own up to,
Ownership by the use
One makes of it - in the moment.
It's temporal sensitivity....
As with table - I'm using it,
For no one else was using it.
No other table,
Not floor,
No Desk.
'Faire' A qui de droit.
To whom it may concern.
Qui est-ce qui à dérangé mes affairs? Moi!
Il fait beau. [chaud, du vent, froid, mauvais]
Ça ne fait rien.
It's all right. It doesn't matter.
C'est bien fait!
It serves you [him, etc.] right.
Drawings with hats and cats.


Poetry#263

AT THE CORE

Accepting belief
Builds a box!
A world unto itself,
Out of touch.
Opening
The box becomes
A treasure chest,
Though fear would
Make it
Pandora's box,
And cause it
To be sealed again.
Treasures pour forth
Stars become
Spread out
To the far reaches
Of the world.
Windows in these gems
Show dreams
To whom holds the keys
To know them
And draw upon
Their vision to create.
In the realm of time
Its come to light
A world of ones own
That one makes with all
It's attendant objects,
The things had or not,
Arranged or rearranged
That world a part.
Endless parts fascinates
Countless possibilities
Contained an ever turning wheel
That would explode
Were it not locked,
But a half,
That halves contain.
Turned inside out
Mirrows become windows
Reflections no more
That each unto itself
Is at the core.
Watch where
You're going!
I am where
I'm going.
I'm just remembering
How I got here.
