Choice

So this is what life is like

a life that you take hold of

that you make choices in

that you decide

yes

or

no

So this is what life is like

when you shut one door

to fully open another

to finally decide

yes

or

no

You'll never be done
saying
yes
or
no

Circle round

It feels like an eternity.
Time goes round and round until
we wait no longer for its infinity.
We circle around, circle back in time,
back far enough to see the back of our heads.
It's science they say,
it's the way the universe works.

Reference

I answer the questions as honestly as I can
Without knowing anything about the beginning, the middle or the end.
There is no point of reference
To begin to comprehend.

Look!

Look!
Just ... look!

Realize how beautiful it is
How complicated it is
The wonder of creation!

I am an Ocean

The Ocean -

she is full of tears.

She remains

as she appears.

She appears to be

laughing,

inviting, me

to take part in the dance.

The movement.

Shed a tear

in her,

and I shall laugh

with her.

At times it seems the only way out is through tears. Even when you don't know what the tears are associated with, they need to come out. They'll set you free. You will then be able to dance and sing and join in the world's laughter. You will be elevated.

So join her. Join the ocean in tears, tears of pain and laughter and all that is within her.

Musica

Music! Music.

Music fills my heart. Seeing music live fills my heart with gratitude, desire, fulfillment, understanding, empathy, love for the people who make it, who want to be heard, who express themselves to the fullest and show others they can do the same.

I admire the time they've put into their music. There are so many things we can do with our time, and using it in the midst of music, mostly in solitude, is a difficult choice for me (and I wonder if it is for them). So, I appreciate those who put in that time. The effort. The time spent alone. The growth, the sharing of their craft. The retreat so they may come out with a big bang and be the fullest version of themselves. Showcase their amazing gift to the world.

Always Arriving

Perhaps we're all riding our own wave, and meet at intersections. Points in space and time when we discover each other, for a short moment or a lifetime, where we notice each other and attend each other's mentality but eventually must fade back into our own. A big web, constantly flowing, arriving, leaving, witnessed, unnoticed.
