Sage is the one
             that comprehends
             his limits
             and recognizes
             those of others......

Creation happens

when the words
come from Silence
and the poet 
recognizes
her words express 
the Silence 
from which they 
spring......

no room for doubt
chase that dream
to the mountain top
slide into a waterfall
hold it close to your heart
your soul recognizes it

she gladly trades in her well-worked ballet slippers
for scruffy Converse tennis shoes for the two mile walk home
no one recognizes the prima donna in her dungarees
without makeup...

Not concerned about fame...Don't care if no one knows my name....Want to positively affect 
lives by practically really teaching uncompromised... No matter who recognizes me with the 
truth or with lies......

The child smells
Like cat urine only ten times worse
His classmates shun him
He reeks
A police officer arrives for career day
And recognizes the smell
It is not cat urine
It is methamphetamine
This changes everything...

exquisite tenderness for another
cosmic intervention during dream
love in form of forgiveness and truth
soul recognizes enthusiasm
feeling that all is as it should be
unconditional trust and respect
friendship is magical...

Keep your ideas inside
And you’ll fail at life
Never said it would be easy
To be yourself
In a world full of charlatans
But open your mouth
And all time stops
Stands still for a second
As the world
Recognizes your existence...

i am a boot painter she announced when she was eight
her mother thought this was hilarious
she probably is, said her grandmother
an artist always recognizes another artist
and she did
and guess what she grew up to paint?

to a sweet navel of glutinous oracle
sticks the fairytale makeup
because the model caressed the tree
since the model recognizes the apple
as the model eats the grass
a carrot from Hollywood paradise
a green salad with organic smelly...

I wish that a plague of facial blindness would infect all of our global nations, 
so I could watch all the narcissistic celebrities and self serving politicians, 
sink into a deep pathetic depression,
knowing that nobody recognizes them,..

... not one....

our soul recognizes
what mind and heart
must learn

yearning to explore
wonders and mysteries
around us

striving to love
grow wiser
less naïve

needing to trust
the magic
of life
of love

All Native American proverbs honor the greater good
She is....
A society that reveres her elders
A tribe that honors the ideas of children
A community that recognizes the wisdom of her women
Tell me again why we are trying to indoctrinate her with our religions?...

beyond smoke screens of illusion
wisdom recognizes the spiritual being
as merely passing through

There's an old woman living in a shack
Seems she had a stink coming from a crack
Then COVID came and destroyed
Peoples' sense of smell and left a void
Now all her friends and family are back 

About no one/picture depicts no one I know or hope no one recognizes if so, I will remove it....

Relation between Church and the Jews

Jews -> “Older breathen” of Christians
Eternal God loved and spoke to them first
Father Christ as a man was a Jew
This fact unites us

Church recognizes Son of the living Eternal God
Fact that He was baptized Christian
Separates Church and the Jews
Those who knew converted

Lonely 
          Bride cautiously
         Conquers her denial
     Light drives her to understand so
She recognizes her pink-tinted viewpoint
    Yet the costume highlights stubborn
              Arguments thus created 
                Staying bright yet
                        Lonely

At times I am overcome,
With hope and a torrent of anxiety which has a resting place in peace;
And the sweetest loves recognizes me now...
Only I can respond

What overcomes me is every form that my fear rises to, and suppresses
My impending past ignites all my deepest emotion while treating me to the 
sweetest love...

Indifference

the word has the connotation
of not caring..but there is more..
when "I" is known
there is a knowing that recognizes
the departure of limits
and a recognition that appearances
are fleeting and simply made
of that which is not limited..
appearances..then..are a matter of
indifference in our recognized
"I"......

At first, he'd meant to make a difference.
But, he lost his ideals making deals-
the back-room,
you-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours, 
backstabbing variety...
Then there was the payback, backlash and push-back.
Now no one recognizes him, back home.

soul to soul recognition is spectacular and automatic
one’s soulmate sneaks into the other’s dream work
Her heart leaps with joy as she recognizes her forever love
It’s been so long! She says; this is her earth self speaking
They embrace cosmically, understanding it is more than a hug
Knowing it is forever throughout many lifetimes...

Met him out in Denver
he sure could stroke that brush
to view his creativity
was an exhilarating rush

With expressions from his heart
to a canvas he brings life
faces captured in a moment
reaching out and so alive

Someday the stars will shine on him
his works will be renown
as the world recognizes
the paintings of Jason Brown...

A Future uncertain
 A Past now lacking experience
 A Present living, moving towards both
 
One of hope
 One of dread
 One contains both
 
One holds dreams
 One holds memories
 One holds both
 
The uncertain
 The lie
 The truth
 
Fate cannot control
 Free Will already failed
 One recognizes both exist
 
Time is measured then as perception and reality...

is it the ugliest thing you've ever seen
the ugliest attitude
is it the worst sound
what is it?
no pages to be on at all
no eye to eye to see on
what is it?
is it you or me?
is it all you see..
it really is a secret to me...
beauty is beauty
no color lines it recognizes 
your sista's 
are beautiful
can be beautiful
you must be beautiful first.......
