Open-mindedness
Empowers opportunity
Perfect for understanding
Through objective thinking

In this downpour of 
nil a blinding fog descended
and a venomous,

absinthe-mindedness wrapped all 
over me, thus all of my 
senses were out of order....

Whatever that actually means
is elusive

discourse helps clarify
clear-mindedness defined by
heart and soul gigs might
help 'splain it some 

but only sum

'cause in the end
it's up for 
grabs...

Hmmm self driving cars... kinda scary
It'll take some getting used to for the very wary
It'll certainly take trust
Open mindedness is a must
Won't be first in line, seems kinda hairy

Pride, 
self-will
versing God's,
judging others,
double mindedness;
cracked porcelain vessels
appearing unmendable.
Repairing flaws with gold (His grace),
fills broken places while adding strength,
more beautiful for having been broken....

In the temple of silence,
Oneness, a single-mindedness.
The navel of existence, ubiquitous,
Our essence is all that.

It is only here, in silence, we find
That culminating insight, we realize 
Our essence and the essence 
Of the universe is one....

Offer knocks at the door 
    only once, heed to it 
or else repercussions 
    of gargantuan size 
overclouds our life's goals;
    Open-mindedness grants
outcome of fulfilled joy.

friends can be equals
do unto others as you...
or be inequals

teachers and students
or the parent and child
of the same sharing

friendship peace and trust
delight and like mindedness
enjoyment of love

self recognition
and sharing greater pursuit
toward virtues' heights...

Hidden safe in my cozy shell, there is nothing to fear.
The world calls with it’s voice of adventure in the music of waves on sand and laughing 
voices
I peek out, but
I am so timid, vulnerable, fragile--
Too scared of being poked and prodded
	burned and bustled—and so
Retreat into my barricade,
Held hostage by familiarity....

Beth
Caring, Competitive, Compassionate, Concerned
Wife to none, yet a sister, daughter,  friend
Lover of laughter, music, and knowledge
Feels enthusiasm, willpower, and courage 
Fears the death of love,  closed-mindedness, and the sight of  blood
Who'd like to see Venice, London, and Rome
Born in a nestled Rocky Mountain home

Timeless state of being
Course laid out for you
Open mindedness leads
Me to wild, dynamic truths
Trust not in the elusive
Be one with your mind
Know that these are words
Of wisdom that you go by
Point in your overall direction
Where you are headed to
And I’ll follow your guide
Toward enlightenment

RECOGNITIONS

simple
 memoranda
of
an
appreciation
of
 the
 acknowledged
single mindedness
so
evident
in
self conscious
 realizations
& detailed
exressions
of
 understanding

eyecatching
motifs
disintegrate
elegant

vulnerable
&
numerous
sensitive
substitutes

the
influential
comment
to
illuminate
a
reposte

yet
so
inadequate...

Mary, my Mary!
Mother mine, sacred, holy.
Grandmother blesses purely.
Sister of comfort.
Daughter shines blown mindedness
chaos. How does she DO that?

Spawned of legacy,
shunning negativity,
destined to be just as born.
Unbridled power,
intelligent compassion.
You've got the world by its horns!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Written in honor of my daughter on the eve of her nineteenth birthday...

I catch the inspiration
I get a whiff of hope
Today holds truth within
Open-mindedness captures
The feel of pure life
I realize that prosperity springs onward
Leading me to the future
With everything I want
And so desire completely
It finishes with admiration
And the feeling of true love
That of which I see rarely
And may grace touch my heart
For all eternity and forever

Bratkartoffeln,
 narrow mindedness
 ( and there is lots of that unfortunately),
 baked schpeck kartoffeln,
 bigotry and lust
 ( and there is lots of that),
 bienenschtich,
 bread and wine,
 the sweat of the brow,
 Schweinehacksen,
 oppression, guilt 
(and there is lots of that),
 gluttony, the curfew gull it glides......
 not many of you will get this,
 but that is,
 what is on my mind........ ?...

So much depends on waiting,
the cock crow,
dissipating long nights,
before rain starts,
desecrating one-sidedness,
and,
getting it right,
working like-mindedness,
engrafting a woman in a man


So much depends on paintings,
healing minds,
moving on,
collating a self-informing vocabulary,
defining emblems,
and,
winning wars through words,
pondering a new beginning,
changing the face of a loved one...

I push you,
You push me.
We both lose.
Being brave is being insolent.
We don't know what we defend.
We defend pride and narrow-mindedness.
We defend our past,
Our good memories.
We've never been on the other end of a bullet.
Military philosophy?
Knowing-when-to-draw-your-weapons philosophy?
Philosophy is exploring the why.
Bullets are a fatal solution.
I shoot you, 
You shoot me.
I am braver than you.
I have more bullets....

LOPSIDED and SIDEWAYS

Severe blindness and handicapness

Of double mindedness

I can't stand

It pierce under my skin

Ever so deeply to leave no room for open discussion

Only confusion that leaves me with nothing

But lies to myself and unsafe untread waters

that fails miserably to quench the thirst of my true understanding of what is me

What is real

And what is trusted

Which ever so leads me

Unbalanced and confused...

As I ever seek shelter  
Engaging in the fundamental of your malevolence
Yet ever always seeking ever present
Spell bounding an astounding Heaven's Bliss
My true self my consciousness
So I ratify in clouded mindedness
Ever sober in my thoughts
For I lie down and die
Instantaneously I Cry
Upon opening up my eyes as my soul Spirit leaves my body
I'm going home
In a twinkling of an eye
I fly
