"If I die, darling remember me like an old man does a carnival ride."

Rock ‘n’ roll music is for everyone — the father, the son, and the willing spirit. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Sometimes the Sun really burns me --
too clear, a blabber of truth...while
the moon a bit more sympathetic, willing
to hide some blemishes, though a
great-deal more deceptive when it
comes to matters of heart.

|
Wisdom is less what we know, and more what we are willing to learn.

|
"Sometimes there are No feelings, just words that talk very loud."

|
In a few concise words, if there is such a thing as Free Will...it must be omnipotent. Anything less, is simply manipulated illusion. Something outside ourselves controlling all possible variables including time and space.

|
If I’m gonna claim to be best…I’ve gotta step up to the plate and show I’m the best…if I can’t do that I’d be telling another hopeless lie.

|
Rather than measuring a moment, it is better to be in the moment, traveling bravely life's unpredictable, and often harrowing trajectory -- one way or another, you will come out the other-side. For the sake of the soul, even death can sometimes be a victory.

|
ThecDead are always smiling for they know something the living do not..

|
A conversation is only as deep as the vulnerability both sides are willing to risk.

|
To achieve the impossible, you must be willing to lose your status as a reasonable person.

|
Republicans are masters at the art of quibbling or pettifogging.

|
Maybe healing is like unwrapping an onion. Every layer peeled brings tears to the eyes, but each tear is part of revealing the heart that has been hidden all along.

|
A bridge is only as strong as its willingness to hold the weight of two different sides.

|
Betrayal is never easy to deal with...lingers long in the sensitive tissues of a heart. One never entirely forgets.

|
One can feel pain without it being revealing, no one can tell how a heart is feeling.

|
The same boiling water that softens the potato, hardens the egg.

|
Rule No 2: Stop telling people everything, most people don't care, and some secretly want you to fail.

|
Heaven and hell
One step up
One step down
This is the see saw of life.
Yet falling is easier, it's difficult to rise

|
The first signs of growing old, is struggling to get your shoes on.

|
I am really resenting AI in the Arts. It is not the death of art, because artists will do art no matter what. Always there will be small gatherings of innovative creative individuals. But none will make a buck at it. Commercial mediocrity will rule...young people will never develop the skills needed to produce unique, personal products. It will hurt soul and spirit development -- the devil must be overjoyed. Another appealing way to keep humanity on the surface layer of creation.

|
Two broken pieces
healing each other
and becoming one whole
not an ordinary kind
but a masterpiece.

|
Love is like a feeling; it keeps blooming and makes you feel happy all day long.

|
If someone says "We cannot know anything for certain" We must ask "Do you know that statement for certain? If we cannot know anything for certain, we cannot know that we cannot know anything for certain. Linguistics is rendered useless by that claim. Of course I believe that we can know things for certain because of God and His certain character. Naturalism cannot compete with that claim.

|
Faith is the willingness to commit yourself and your resources to a power or event beyond your capacity for calculation.

|
I am not the slave of feelings, nor the instrument of pain: Divinity plays all my stops and strings with melodies heard everywhere I go.

|
I have never gone anywhere in search of your release from suffering that I have not found, waiting, smiling, my patient, better self.

|
If you want to call yourself a Poet, don’t let anyone speak on your behalf - speak in own poetic voice. Don’t let anybody else speak about your abuse, expériences or healing. You not only give away your poetic license, you give away your power to feel completely. Any trauma will be diluted in this way & your cycles of repressed emotion will remain repressed in fragments. Worse, it will be coloured by someone else calling themselves collaborators. This is a sophisticated form of power usurping.

"The truth is a mirror that only reflects what we're willing to see." ~Bella Joy

"The human heart is needed to write for it has feelings."
