While difference is acknowledged, absence is felt.

I sense one's journey far more enduring than any given moment...even death be not final.

|
Time is ours in a way -- forward and back, present...out of all we have collectively seen and correctly imagined enough to chose from and prosper~ or keep going down in flaming defeat.

|
Love, our spiritual 6th sense, icing on the other 5.

|
Senior moments can be very empowering. Just because I’m used up and not good for much doesn’t mean I’m used up and not good for much. That’s ageism.

|
Any senseless poem that fails the reader's expectation should be tossed into the trash bin. Write something that inspires,, let emotions flow with harmony.

|
“Young people are not merely the future of society; they are the energy that can transform its present.”

|
Whenever we approach oneness with God, in the moment of prayer, or while creating a work of art, there is a natural sense of omnipotence. Also, the spirit of what we create lives on in that creation long after one's corporal body ceases to exist. We are yet attached to that creation in a very profound spiritual way. In the same way our love persists in those (example: children) we have partnered with the Divine to birth.

You were made to think that you can fight against darkness.
The truth is, you cannot fight a thing in its own domain.
The reason you see a need to fight darkness is the absence of light from within.
Unlearn all that has crippled your light.
Be awakened. Be enlightened. Then come before darkness, and it will disappear, for it cannot contend with light.

|
In the moment, the right kiss senses omnipotence.

|
Stoicism is not the absence of emotion, but the mastery of the space between the impulse and the action.

|
Reality is a consensus; the impossible is what happens when one mind decides to break the pact.

|
True silence is the architect of character, for it is in the absence of external validation that we finally meet the person we are when no one is watching.

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

|
Nothing worthwhile keeps when
expressed and stored outside
the Essence of Love.

|
Not a lot of logic in my life, unless one counts the times intuitively I was correct, thus now rely mostly on that inner sense.

|
In this fiction of life and death all ceases when love unites, just as passing gives way to an ineffable ever present

One’s tolerance level has to be exceptionally high when one is forced to listen to mantras one has graduated from centuries ago. #whatlightworkersendure

Sharp & Brutal Truths
?"Fake friends are like shadows: they follow you in the sun but leave you in the dark."
?"Real friends value your presence. Fake friends value your absence."
?"An open enemy is better than a false friend who praises you to your face and stabs you in the back."
?"Fake friends believe in rumors. Real friends believe in you."

For sure, we can overwork things, and ourselves...when painting, an important mastery of art is to sense when to stop. I do...but like you am seldom certain. Once risen above the self, it is such a daunting responsibility knowing all that we do also represent elements of God.

|
How much of seeming one is truly individual? Programed in a sense by physical/mental maybe spiritual constituents. Is there really an individual? And yet no two are the same conglomerate. No matter how many in the mix. The many/individual. And when we consider the all, maybe back to the God -- nothing existing outside of the limitless inside/outside of God. DNA, are there really any exclusions or limitations? We transverse living membranes of self-illusion.

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.

|
Darkness is there to tell
how shining stars could be.
To unveil the hidden gems
requires the absence of light.

|
My feet are bleeding
on this rocky path
I have chosen for myself,
so my lips are curled upwards.

|
Christ is risen...humanity's task, to get eye-level.

Presence over Appearance

|
Our past was a gift, our future is a present.

|
Never let the past consume the present. Let the present absorb the past. And no future left to matter.

|
I don't want her kiss, don't need to hold her hand, nor feel her arms around me. All of that has evolved into her most constant presence in my heart.

|
For poets to be anonymous negates the very essence of poetry which is about transparency.
