For sure, all is the mind's illusion -- mental images are substance. Sort of like, the foundation beneath the visible home.

Nowhere do I see complete annihilation...everything seeming to be reused or transformed into something else. Who knows? Lots of mysteries, writers never short on themes real and rightly imagined.

Never doubt, animation is loved. Both pen and ink, and us human characters.

Nature is never at fault, nor God. We choose where to live and play, bucking the odds. But no one is to blame -- life is a gamble from start to finish. The heart is a risk taker.

Let us sweep daily our minds and hearts as we do our chimneys, the soot out, making ready for fresh warmth.

Your Divine Spirit is an open book of spontaneous reference. I have met people who seldom read the bible...yet, most every word they speak and action they take, is Biblically correct. Am I saying, no need to read the bible? Absolutely not -- if a sense of emptiness, loneliness, dissatisfied existence, read, devour, savor! With ultimate goal of becoming....

Probably, after food and safe shelter, a quest for wholesome novelty is our greatest challenge in life. A lack of it, often leads to destructive behavior.

No matter how one, slices, dices, spruces it up, puts lipstick on it, when it comes to writing poetry, AI is plagiarism...just like parts of this sentence.

AI should not be allowed on creative writing sites. When identified use, the writer should be banned, in an effort to keep the integrity of honest poetry free from artificial stink. AI will soon write a new interpretation of the bible I am certain. A logical interpretation, but void of spiritual essence. AI is not a tool, like an encyclopedia or text book with valuable examples of meaningful reference, it is a soulless entity that will lead to ever greater intellectual and moral depravity.

Yep, the night out, is not always the same as morning reflection -- which do we treasure more? A warped fondness for even many of my mistakes -- I say, show mercy to one's own heart.

Memories are not always pleasant -- but they are all foundations for tomorrow...hopefully we choose our best, and make even new valleys more lush with blossoms.

Romantic poetry is not about wisdom, truth nor lies -- it is about being fiery alive! Every word breathing, exploding with passion.

For sure, see it, next feel it mentally -- then will it into physical being. That is true Free Will. Free Will is not simply making choices. You have it in the palms of your creative hands, needed only to be set free.

Indeed, life is for living. Burn brightly! Both day and night, blazing way to find. Every pore, every thought we have, an electrified flame of being. Hell a cheap, phony duplication. Each of us, born of blessed starlight. Greater the divine fuel as we move on.

God lets us choose! The indecisive nature of man's soul why it has taken so long to move on to the the next stage of blessed evolution. Free Will does not mean simply making choices -- 2,000 years from now we will still be in the same spiritual rut, maybe living on radioactive islands, but nothing will change until we decide to change our rebellious, destructive consciousness. Christ never left us...the Christ in us, the Holy Spirit with us, is our salvation in the palm of our hands.

We are our own worst physicians -- to do little, or just pray (not that I do not see the power in prayer) -- is to knee-cap our prayers, giving them local crutches and not dynamic, divine wings.

We need more soldiers for Christ, and not fraud advocates touting presents for all under my tree.

My philosophy is, if one can't write it a bit differently, why bother writing it at all, no matter how pretty or motivational the work -- why repeat what others say beautifully? Creation is infinite -- why limit one's self, and one's God? When writing I throw out tons of publishable material, till a phrase pops onto paper, that has a hint of something original. Then I go with it. Let the Muse lead.

Children off to college. We cannot hold on too long to anything of this world, even what is dearly heartfelt. Nothing was ever ours alone, to claim and keep.

Unfortunately, even if the mind comes to understand, what went wrong with a relationship -- the heart never will.

Trust in God...is easy, perhaps for God...but sometimes us men have great difficulty with the concept. In God's time...keeping long track with my antique watch.

What is trance? Is it just zombie like? Or can illness, hyper activity be a form of trance? Transfixed, habitual, immovable -- Are we not all, in a deeper sense, in varying degrees, a trance of self?

Really, war has few faces...if there were more, there would be far less numbers. Faces, with hearts and families.

As bad as it is, it is better for the growing awareness. Maybe from the awakening, the pen mightier than the sword, us priests of poetry, the rarefied hearts of humanity, can make a positive contribution.
