[Gypsy108]

i just melt away
when i get a good massage
i wish i was rich

 

[travelaround]

I wish I was rich
No more sleeping in a ditch
I want a sandwich.

 

[Gypsy108]

I want a sandwich
I would make you one only
I am far away

 

[travelaround]

Haze in the distance
Purple haze, can you see it?
Just kidding. It's gray.

 

[notsosure]

Just kidding it's gray
or Metamorphism
Art, Flight, leave on it


Joseph Campbell; https://www.jcf.org

 

[Gypsy108]

art flight leave on it
for a strange land far away
you will fall in love

 

[notsosure]

You will fall in Love
Like Emily Dickinson
Nature was her friend

 

[Gypsy108]

nature was her friend
yes nature can be soothing
and kick your ass too

 

[travelaround]

And kick your ass too
Animal control sees you
You will regret it.

 

[Gypsy108]

you will regret it
and i did when i gave up
my maharaja


MAHARAJA :

Maharaja
Nature, indifferent to
man....is unconscious



[The] kind of deep attention that we pay as children is something that I cherish, that I think we all can cherish and reclaim — because attention is the doorway to gratitude, the doorway to wonder, the doorway to reciprocity. And it worries me greatly that today’s children can recognize 100 corporate logos and fewer than 10 plants. That means they’re not paying attention.
Poet Mary Oliver

 

[Gypsy108]

man is unconscious
of the wonder of it all
what it really is

 

[travelaround]

What it really is --
Beyond mirage illusion ...
Consciously aware.

 

[Dingfelder]

Consciously aware;
a chemical accident
leads us to see God.

 

[notsosure]

Leads us to see God

"the ground of being", grace, change

Solstice, returns light


quote is from Paul Tillich

 

[travelaround]

Solstice, returns light
Brighter than the harmony
Sitting between us.

 

[notsosure]

Sitting between us
love and knowledge, All you have
What you are and give

 

[travelaround]

What you are and give
Shining statements above peace
Blistering, real.

 

[Gypsy108]

blistering real
she has no filters at all
sometimes it's shocking

 

[notsosure]

Sometimes it's shocking
Intrusiveness for power
Desperate disguise
