Pain

I don’t like to focus on pain, wanting to remain positive-- believing “rising tides lift, etc….” but sometimes pain will not listen to the host, receptors closed to meditation and prayer; an open question to me as to whether we propagate unconsciously, or flagrant defile by independent demons-- though I think even the latter, somehow do not rule over the gods of our own being; the worse pains those we seem to only track, not a crumb leading to their source a witch at the door not even sweets before the oven-- And when incantations fail, cannot separate body from soul, rejecting ferments for the suicide of pharmacology somehow makes guiltless gold the letters on our stones….

Sticking needle in my finger to administer numbness was the most painful of all. Just discovered that two sixes in dominos totals 12 like 12 Tribes of Israel and 12 members of Jesus's apostles.
