Hope for Freedom

2010-02-12 Poetry

Another day, another way, toward another goal, in another place.
Always still, our­selves, as we work to hide the truth of it, from our­selves,
as those around us hope, we find our way, to let our­selves, go free.

Fertile Ground

2010-02-10 Poetry

Back in it, sur­rounded by the illu­sion my mind con­structs from the images, the sounds, the aro­mas, the taste of the air.
Hav­ing lived, just there, I remem­ber the lonely alien­ation that was my real­ity of here, then.
Still, enough of the trap­pings have changed to make this scene
fer­tile ground.

In Between

2010-02-09 Prose

Here I am among six bil­lions filled with an abid­ing lone­li­ness as I pass through this moment in tran­si­tion from where I was to where I will be. I am in between. In between is one of the three places I have lived my life. The other two are almost there and here, now.
When I am here, now, the time and events are not catalogued […]

This isn’t what I planned

2010-02-08 Poetry

This isn’t what I planned, were I thought I’d be, what I thought I’d be doing.
This isn’t what I planned, who I thought I’d be, what I thought I’d be doing too.
But I like where I am, the road that got me here, the folks I met along the road.
But I like where I am, the who I have become, the folks I met along the road too.

Bound to Struggle

2010-02-07 Poetry

Bound to strug­gle as we nav­i­gate these inter­per­sonal waters, two beings ever sep­a­rate.
Bound to strug­gle as I nav­i­gate this world, out­side it, yet con­tained fully within as well.
Bound to strug­gle as he mas­ters a new task, the con­scious mind does poorly what the sub­con­scious will do with ease once the con­scious mind is fin­ished.
Bound to strug­gle as they […]

There/Not There

2010-02-04 Poetry

Halfway may be far worse Than none of the way at all.
Some­times it is a binary choice. Here or there. There or here.
I don’t want to be Schrödinger’s cat.

Always On

2010-01-28 Poetry

Swim, float, sink and breathe water, evolve, eve love.
Save and cast into the pool of what needs not to be saved.
Are and Am!
We wor­ship at the altar of impa­tience and patience of our own trans­for­ma­tion from what we were to what we will be.

Endings, Beginnings, and the Space Between Them

2010-01-09 Reflection

I used to be a pro­fes­sional at float­ing in the ambi­gu­ity, the phase space; I was the a very happy cat inside an unopened Schrödinger’s box. Change was the stan­dard from early in my life, as a tod­dler, a young child, a teen, a young adult, early mid­dle age, in all these all was change. It is what I knew and all I knew.

I wake again
As I have so many days before
And set­tle into rou­tine
Ever changing
