Inner Peace

Dig a hole in the ground
Keep digging deep down
So the echo won’t slip
because your goal is to scream,
Scream loud to ease the pain inside
The dirt on your hands
is the sin
That you have been carrying around
Somehow you kept holding on
now freedom is what you seek
Fading memories is your dream
But what happens after you scream?
Yes,you feel a bit at peace
Yet the feeling you get makes you bitter and sweet.
You have been carrying this weight on your feet
feeling the heat,
Blood flowing through your veins;
Love turned into hate and trust into fear
So after all are you really at PEACE?
Days later,
you go on with your everyday life,
growing weary and cold
Then the battle with your mind begins
Because digging is no longer your escape
Your own fear has captured you in a cage
So you write it down on paper,
Not in pencil but in pen
Because there are no mistakes
That can be erased (erasing parts in your life)
What’s done is done
And your shame cannot be wiped away
Once again you fight in the flesh,
all you want is peace
And a resting place
Yet you seek no one but yourself.


Premium Member My Favorite Professor

When considering a favorite teacher or professor, immediately,                      one high school teacher and one college professor come to mind.
Since I have to choose one of them, I am leaning toward the professor.

Mine was a small college and my history professor was a large man 
physically.  He was well learned and the founder and president of
The college.  Nevertheless, as an authority figure, he was very
Approachable.

In a larger sense, as head of a Christian college, he was not only                      the defender of the faith, but also a discerner of negative attitudes,         mindsets, and a defender of minorities.  He established in my mind                  the necessity of building protective shields to give an adversary                          second thoughts about an attack.  I was also inspired by the way
He used communion to unify and create a bond at the small college.

It was very clear to me that my history class was not just about
The studies of yesterday but about the everyday life of today which                   in essence makes for a better history that is being formed presently                 by the current generation.

The manner of this speech gives you such a sense of depths below the well in the passage & I’m sure you’ve much to drink with a borrowed stomach. What’s scarier is that you’ve found yourself in the yellow house in the clouds again, by the quick effect of the wet wind coming in, you’re moved in another direction.
 
 
                                                 That voice under the water seems to caress
                                                    any description of the backyard grave
                                                           & you wait for alarm or remonstrance
                                                          that has died on his lips at the hotel.
                                                          Now, you’re familiar with the bubbles
                                                          & the face as a chance of annihilation.
 
 
             I know the world is full of chaos here
                                                                                                                                     but out of this,       
               I create my senses: hearing, seeing, touching,
                                                                                                                        smelling, & tasting
                                                         for the beauty of everyday life.
 
Your choleric frankness of their commons causing you
 to be feared at bottom, where the mind is a factory of activator.

A Home Maybe

There isn't a home I can go to to feel at home
At least not now... if not ever
Might there be a better place to feel unknown
When in a world I know too well to feel lesser

Do I need to run away?
For myself... from myself?
The world is no more but a place to stay
Because the world is richer without any wealth

Let the world know why don't you
That you won't and not cannot follow
Because too long it takes to 'knew'
That everyday life is over for tomorrow

Even experience cannot teach you enough
The oldest man can have the oldest lie
And the young is not smarter to not understand what was asked
The middle ages sits but in between and sighs
 
I do want to go home to feel at home
At least for now... if ever
Might there be a better place to feel unknown?
In this world to have known too well to feel lesser

Premium Member Practice Makes Resilience

When I mention my morning meditation practice,
many respond with wishes and hopes
they could
would
should discipline themselves
to also join in to this practice
practice
praxis
until fragmented uncommunicative ego/ecosystems
finally get life resiliently realistically right
more than ego-narcissistically wrong.

But this,
I ego-think and eco-feel,
reverses what is a more centrally profound point
of ZeroZone cosmic-organic view.

Everyday life is already our active meditation
which we Win/Lose unpractice,
Business As Usual LoseLose dis-practice
praxis
until we hope to get us egoWin-ecoWin
interdependently healthy right
more than pathologically diseased wrong.


Premium Member Toby Young, one true British son.'

Lord knows i'm not strong on titles.' But this man did something most vital.'
By founding the ( free speach union! )
That is a needed buffer midst current
Con-fusion; a light in the darkness that 
attempts to destroy, any vestige of sanity
That encouraged a Britain great, it seeded
Egalitys and fostered a spirit, the whole
World turned to, and brought much joy.'
So much that Respect replaced an empire
As the title, the free west was born' there
Was at least the hope, of human 
amity amidst regrettable war clashes, 
one bright example not least.' was the re-unifiying 
of the German Nation
As old protaganists shrugged off 
the dead ashes.' Yet despite the peoples efforts and the wish to live im peace. There
Were tratiors in the upper chambers who
Willed to build again the beast.' It would happen in 2020..Many would have to mourn' lhe loss of
 friendships first, then familiy members in 2026 it is still being borne, there is the attack on sustainable
Living.' Upon climate; on good food'
 every aspect of everyday life, yet also we see awakening ( which the F S U ) embodies rude, in all this tangled
 strife ' if any wish to make
A difference in the life of the world as a whole
 , do not guess.' Give your support to
This free speach union i say in this
 extreme pass; the record of
Great British history; could truly expect 
nothing
Less.!

Premium Member From An Empire To a Global State

The power of its empire’s influence once shook history from its feet
the number one world olive oil producer;
the home to the world’s largest tomato fight
and sits at the top in organ donation.

A country with a wordless national hymn
housing a  cloud-kissing building with no automated climber;
a top seed in the accumulation of city bars
and in the preservation of an ancient language.

Neutrality-its stand point during the global wars
and the first importer of useful vegetables to the continent.
The seat being the only manifestation of its automobile hands
and a member of the global leaders in the production of saffrons.

Shakes hands with France through the pyrenes
diffusing a myth it first accommodated the modern man.
Concerned on the call girls to make them 
share uniform-identity with highway workers
and globally popularized by conflicts of two great cities,
both in sports and in everyday life.
Much interest showers the sunflower seeds.
A bar kept clean speaks against itself.
Above all, its dynamic might lies majorly on its
competitive tourism and wide spread language.

Premium Member Winter Dreaming

Oh let me leave
Everyday life
And just dream
Of my garden
Beneath the snow
Oh the yellow
Flowers growing
Vibrant blues
Inspirational
Winter dreaming
Such beauty
Considerations
To different shapes
And textures
Planting colors
Mass harmony
Bright red
Tulips and pansies
Phlox-  dusty miller
Woven together
Waves of color
Verbena trailing
Lobelia purple
Different heights
Wild as nature
Red primrose
Blue daisies
Yellow marigold
Just winter dreams
Of my garden

Premium Member Bilocation

Acknowledging 
God’s omnipresence accepting
 that he is with us through out our life, 
there must be no misconception, that he is in
total control of our lives."God made me do that” 
“God  made the child die” God failed to secure the 
levy   and   hundreds died in the flood”. We are not 
players acting some vast second by second play that 
God has scripted, mindlessly each  playing  our part. 
We are  not inanimate puppets and God is not the 
puppeteer  pulling  our  strings. While we know
God  is  in  Heaven,  we  also  know  God   is  
present with us, He is everywhere at one 
time (omnipresent) albeit not in a solid
material form as we are, so our soul 
must  bilocate  from  the  every 
second  of everyday  life  to 
always be aware of him
and rejoice in his 
\       presence.        /
 \                           /
  \                         /
   \                       /
    \                     /
We   must   be  per  se, two   entities:  
Our   material   self,  body  and  mind,  
and  our spiritual  self, soul awareness. 
At  one  time  I can be  busy  washing
dishes,  and  my awareness can  be in  
quite  a  difference place  enjoying my
acceptance of the presence of our Lord
maybe  thanking   Him, maybe   being 
comforted,  but   definitely   with  Him
