THE SAME THING

Couple
Around noon,
Tomorrow,
Here
Where I am well,
Do what can
Given the state of affairs
That persists change is a must
Start with oneself
From what!
To what?
Often there seems nothing
To say,
So one says nothing.
Asks asks asks,
And and and,
Then then then.....
Go and forget it.
Let the universe do
What it does.
Just don't expect anything,
Then whatever is - is,
Just go about business.
You cannot change
Anything,
If you did
It would only be,
The same thing,
To the same thing.
It is what it is,
You can do nothing
About it!
That being the case,
Do what you can do,
If not you,
Who?
Only you,
Do what you do,
The rest is
What it is,
Then finally, finish, depart,
Spirit will have had
It's human experience,
It's purpose!
Whatever life,
Continues life.


Poetry #269

THE WORLD

Running over achieve aims,
Too escaped conscious attention,
Ideas approach,
Focus with open expectancy.
The 'thingness' with which
We normally are taught to see
The world,
Has built in challenges
Both having and not.
We easily find excuse
Not addressing ourselves
Not giving attention,
Or giving so much attention
To our things,
We somehow find ways
To justify our knowledgeable
Expressions in an ever growing system
Ability to incorporate whatever
We face into existing frameworks,
And avoid expanding itself.

Our species' selfish
Emphasis on thingness, ownership,
Possession and rightness at any cost,
The extinction of other species and
Environment that sustains,
No!
The reflective come forth at times,
Curious when drawn into statements,
Own justification.
The invisible speaks louder
[in silence]
Our nature shows more,
What we do,
Amazing - the extent
We go to avoid
Our own intent!
Rather, we provide
Our own extent of a sort.
Fear prevents thought
Emerging forms
Well,
Not really,
Rather distorts - inner intent,
Even to the extent of non-thought in terms
Replacements with non-attention
And therefore shifted
Attention to the outward judgments
Preferences using the frameworks
To contain and fix a reality
That is an illusion.

C'est la vie!
Actions motivates results
Terms of value fulfillment!
References 'point' open book,
Asking perspectives thought,
What one has chosen,
Choose once again.
Make your thoughts my thoughts,
Channels focus upon intent
Through this form so easily,
Call I,
Speaks "I",
It is your voice, and
It is from being unified!
Remove block's blessings
That may come into,
Through and out of the form
That pens the page,
Speaks the words,
Does the actions in, through
And out of this world.
"Passing Ideas",
"Energy Exchange",
"Channeling",
"Medium", and the
"Frameworks" opening energy emerges.
Hear alarms going and being turned off.
Apparently begins to arouse
From its slumber
The 'daily' patterns,
What is created and is not!
Often the mundane,
In midst of powerful potentials
Would blink eye to transform,
Inspire to bring light.

Love moves
Through all things,
The essence point!
To take courses and not use
That which one learns,
Black Magic,
Read and absorb materials
Intellectually and not incorporate
[integrate]
One's actions,
Only 'using' intellect tool
Without substance,
Channel expression.
Ego aggrandizement!
Kept distance,
Appearance
Touch,
Connected strangers!
Care for plant's need,
Transplant, water,
Light - it's not
About self - save
One with the plant
Making it's life more
'Comfortable'
Tending oneself also.
God - I
Claim and Accept,
Thoughts forgiveness and thanks,
Amen energy through forms....
