Random Awesomeness Archives

Announcements, rants, affirmations and all else that doesn’t quite fit into the other categories are posted here. From poetry that probably won’t be made into a song, to in-the-moment expressions of thoughts and feelings that probably won’t make it into a story. I will share here, whatever comes to mind and heart. Occasionally, I also may take creative writing pieces from my past, revise and revive them to post here.

1/13/19: Fearless Futility

It's was such an odd sensation. I knew... I finally knew what I had to do only I could see that I wasn't going to have time to do it. As I struggled to keep swimming up and up through the crystalline material that got thicker and thicker as I went, it kept growing and [...]

1/10/19: Lover Rain

1/7/19: Being Naked

Her love shines through me. Upon all I do. All I experience. I love seeing the world through these new eyes. I love seeing her world and mine, combine. That which I think. That which might have otherwise triggered an ego-driven response. Pales in comparison. The challenge now is to find a new space. A [...]

1/6/19: The Naked Night

Inhale, two three four five six... Exhale, two three four five six... ------ I feel her with me always. Shining in the morning jungle green. Strolling through the sunny surf and sand. Snuggling as we softly speak through distant pillows. In the naked night. ------ We share everything. Mutually inspired accomplishments. Healthy practice, creative growth, [...]

1/5/19: Perspective Portal

The first thing to do. Is pass through. Or not. ------ For this to even be considered, all internal machines, mechanisms, devices... etc. need to be in alignment, in sync. All moving parts MUST (at the very least) be functioning at nominal capacity. Including all adaptive and/or augmentative devices employed. Sensors must be at a [...]

12/31/18: Naked Privilege

There is simply no sensible way of comparing the worth of human lives. ------ Kwame Anthony Appiah ----------------------------------------------------------- Conflicted My voice Falters Exposed To others I turn To listen To learn ------ Google brings me first to the voices of two students.

12/27/18: Nothing is Real?

Always, no, sometimes think it's me But you know I know when it's a dream I think, er, no, I mean, er, yes But it's all wrong That is I think I disagree ------ Lennon/McCartney Of course we create our own reality but we don't actually create our own reality. ------ Ken Wilber (paraphrased) --------------------------------------------- [...]

12/26/18: Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Banana?

Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps: for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be. ------ William Hazlin ANALYSTS have had their go at humor, and I have read some of their interpretive literature, but without being greatly instructed.
