Think We Are Different

 

You thought that you were so different

Until you met someone much like yourself

Maybe in a dream

Another lifetime

A nightmare

Or a drunken despair

 

He had no legs

She was missing feet

The little boy was blind

And the girl, due to Alzheimer’s

  had lost the memories in her mind

 

From war, everyone lost someone they knew

From famine, the body count seemed infinite

Global Pandemics made for disparaging averages,

‘Lucky to be alive,’ even in sadness, united

Making death the unifying factor,

   among seemingly opposites

 

Still think we are different,

Universal Laws, laugh at human ignorance

The indifference of intolerance

Coupled with natural disasters

Eventually yields a oneness

And unveils the pettiness of unnatural dualities

 

Hell-on-Earth has a way of debunking

  the concept of Big-I’s and Little-You’s

Sheds light on the darkness of

  racism, sexism, and nationalism,

Luminates deep seated hatreds

  fueled by clannish cultures,

  unjust laws, one-sided traditions and

  evil people who hide behind the good of religious principles

Darkness only prevails in the absence of light

 

Think you are so different

Does the Earth have to swallow itself up

  in order to change the hearts and minds of its inhabitants

Maybe.

And maybe given a few more tragedies

  You will think again.

 

New Thought:

  One Planet

  One People

  One Peace

Connected - All Lives Matter!

Awakened From My Coma

This morning was the best in my life.

Yes, I’ve lived in  seconds, hours, 

years, decades, and scores

even ‘life-times in appreciation before.

But happier now, knowing that

so much more is in store.

This morning as I awakened

before jumping as usual from bed,

I stopped.  “How do I live, 

look and feel better?” I questioned silently

as an open invitation

to the Universe for response.

After a few breaths in, then out,

with eyes closed in acceptance 

of  whatever was to come,

my eyes popped opened 

like the lid from a jam jar previously stuck.

So sweet was the answer that came. 

And clearly, more than mere luck.

“Start from inside,” is what I heard.

In three words, volumes exploded 

that expanded my third.

Even now like scrolls in consciousness 

I excitedly anticipate 

the unveiling of what began

from an innocuous state.

Awake from my ‘coma’

Obviously a misnomer

Light has shined thru darkness.

Ask and it is given,

Desire and you have already received.

Know and matter

manifests in your favor.

All that is, has forever been.

All that will be starts from within.

All I Desire

I thought life was

To forever be

a trial, hardship

riddled with poverty

I thought life would be

what was told to me

a short-lived struggle

but, then after death

I’d be free

I saw life as

time to be served

with some enjoyments

as deserved

but mostly a physical

prison camp --

humans enslaved

at God’s discretion

forced to do His bidding

But, then I thought --

What of free-will?

Had to be more

‘cause that would be ill

And, if God is love,

that can’t be real

‘cause love never forces

Its will

Life had to be more

I had goals, desires

but, I was told

get educated

then I’d be hired

No one said,

I could also be fired

that from under me

security could be snatched

and left with goals

still unhatched

I reasoned --

There must be another way

some formula

to generate desires

without unnecessary delay

You've heard the words --
"Seek and you shall find,"

"Ask and the door opens"

Say, “Be,” and it is.

All for true!

Desires are at hand

generated instantaneously

on demand

for those who understand

Life is about living!

Conscious Thought

relieves desires' droughts

and abundance flows

Without wars being fought

Peace reigns

When understanding is gained

All I desire came about

when my life became

a living art

consciously connected

to the Human Us

I as the Artist, and

the world my canvas

All I desire

I paint in virtual mind

focus my intention

And live what is mine

as it is manifested 
in due time.
