A Tao (0)Mega Tipping Point Zen-Christ
could become no better or worse than your own spiritual experiences
of your own bicameral mindbody of Christianity.

Turn the cold shoulders
Turn the other cheek

I don’t care
Yeah, I don’t care
Anymore…
About anything, everyone and everything…
I’m engaging in encouraging sports in my mind’s eye
I am a confident guy, yet I act so damn shy
Reduced me...

I’m so far from perfect.
Sometimes, I let fears discourage me.
Many times, I let shadows worry me.
Sometimes, I let the tears fall silently.
Other times, I can’t seem to find a way to breathe…
Through the pain, the...

There was a pretty young thing,
from just outside of New Orleans,
that worshipped the ground that he walked on.

She was an innocent girl,
not understanding how the world,
could be so full of hate and frustration.

Was her husband’s...

The recent lockdown certainly made family the center of everything - from fun to daily irritations. But after a month of being at college - which I know, objectively, isn’t long - those memories seem...

I met this man, a father, grandfather, a man of substance

A wealth of life, success from nothing, earned respect

No easy path yet won, built, from ruins to riches you might say

Not alone, side by side...

Your arguments seemed to me great irritation,
Like cold water poured on body in winter season;
I adjusted with you though it was not easy,
You had been my friend for long; still sneaky;
Your philosophies I gradually detested,
Though...

   Sudden strange strong feelings I had to sense
    during my life - long experience 
    I think, the proper adjective is psychedelic.

Disappointed that most of the things
she kept contained
on a daily basis
were far too banal to entertain
memories of sad things
over the years
ho-hum anxieties, insipid fears
rather mundane
and not even interesting
unlikely worries
like being kidnapped by pirates
or eaten by...

I yearn for when my troubles were as frost flowers; when the intermittent wresting
of my inner strings was natural , a part of growing up, and when, from tender stem , 
there emerged feelings of...

HARD TO TAKE

He was sure that for most 	
of his life he’d been a dangerous
prescription, wrapped in caveats
and warnings such as:
don’t mix, ask your doctor, must
be twelve years or older, take
with whole milk or food...

THE FORTRESS OF LOVE


Every marriage has its bumps in the road
And they can pop up at any time.
We must learn to navigate them safely 
With fairness, faith and open mind.

No matter how far in your...

Burning wide black shaded eyes
squint,steal a blurred glimpse
and shut as stinging tears
mixed with facial muck smear

Gazing in the bathroom mirror
my eyes teared honey lime until my vision became clearer
and the world became visable 
sacred nightly...

Cartooning has been my go-to-hobby since I was four or five.
For years when I have to sit, I am drawing.
In a car, as I waited for children, or a husband, I would draw.
My go-to-subject is...

The Past can cast a shadow on your life
At times you feel it stabs you like a knife
The weather in our lives will always change!
The seasons bring the shift we need
So that we can feed...

Remember the bigger picture
When small things affect you
Remember the bigger picture

Little irritations will affect your soul
At times you can get ‘cold’ but
You will realize something wonderful
That allows me to cope!

Seeing the bigger picture
Allows you to...

There's a hero in us all
Helping others when they fall
Picking them up off the ground
Love and care will soon surround
People who need kindness now
It is pure magic just how
One small act of passion
Takes away the...

Deciphered deceptions that the summer brings,
As the cathedrals crumble for the corona Kings…
Units ubiquitous unleashed with sweeping strings,
Infectious isolation internal as the contagious clings…

The wounded wander amongst the Hellion hordes,
Where the good battle evil with...

Gladness, sadness, soulfulness, and loneliness often foam.
The inner irritations that erupt like volcanoes
Unexpressed emotions, like ghosts of the passed away, roam
Urge to break all settled foundations blows like tornadoes

Bats and owls of fears, worries, and...

There is a girl
In a world
Far away from here
Where no fear
Can ever be conceled.
Her irritations are followed by 
cathartic absolution
And even on the most stormy of 
nights,
She glistens in the invisible,
Shinning light.
Her heart; 
Can see...

We live within a Matrix
Much like the movie suggests
Being held captive by unseen forces
A food source to keep dark ones full and fed
All while we are dormant and fast asleep
?
Don't want us awakening
Because then we...

What do theologians call a life without events?

The lights of my prison-like room dawn before sun's first blush. 
I open sand-papery eyes as my AI announces the morning.

I begin the puppetry of morning routines:
