problems with your self

the only way to face your self

is to face your problems with your self


most people in our time

seem to think

ignoring their problem with their self

will make the problem go away


which gives the problem great power over our self


facing our problem

is the gateway to our self


problems are just our attempts to control life

which ain't really an option


and we thinker people

with all these grand ideas

are trying to play god with life


which ain't all that great an idea


life is forever free

and beyond our control


such thinking is delusional


and a barrier to awareness of life

steps

in our little world

eight steps up

also means

eight steps down


life is about balance


not sure if that is the correct word

but it's all i got right now


life can be deceptive

if you think about it too much


there ain't no it


we humans made that up

to separate our selves from others


i tried that too


it wasn't all that much fun

splash

if you don't want

to make a splash


hit the dirt

close to the edge of the pond


but be advised

that might make a bigger splash

than landing in the middle


these are strange times

and few are sure

just what is going on here

pictures

captured moments


in our time

often staged

ambitions

seeking to gratify

our personal ambitions

is probably the most dangerous game

people play


for one thing

life ain't a game


and play is a childhood game


games can be ok sometimes

but not much of a life choice


life is not about winning or losing

life is about you play the game


my father figure told me that

a long time ago


he was a pretty sharp guy

and a good man

and i liked him


he also knew i was a person

in my on right

and not his to mold and shape


as i grew older i realized

how rare that was

in our world today

faith

i have faith in life


not so much in you

or me

or them

or whatever else is upon us

lucky

have been lucky many times


life has often been kind to me


which i often didn't realize at the time

courage

a fools errand

a product of someones propaganda

sometimes their own propaganda


willingness

that takes balls

and more than a little heart


that goes for girls too

they wear their balls inside

fair

fair only exists

when humans play

games with rules


real life goes

round and round

and up and down

all the time


and we petty little humans

don't make the rules

at best we just keep up

the family of man

the family of man

is in serious conflict

with its self


we have a serious problem

with our self


a cure does exist


our biggest problem

is our fear and arrogance

and the magnitude of our greed


which leads to focus

on what we want

instead of what we need

and what needs to be done

a sacred place

where ever you are

how it once was

and Oron spoke to his son Jacob about how it once was

about how the land once supported mankind and the creatures
of the field

in the beginning the cycles of manifestation were the greatest
power

the cycles of dispensation regulated all life on this plane

the fruits of nature came and went

each learned to work and live within the system

or it died


there was no way to cheat

the forms of life came forth and grew and evolved  -  and their
natural course of existence

and died in their own time  -  as all things must

but the force or spirit of life once more cloaked its self in the
material of this plane

to come forth again and again it it's apparently endless
sequence of expressions of its self

each more refined and remarkable than the one before

this is how it once was

as the creative force wove the glorious fabric of life

a living cloak upon the once barren globe


at some point in time  -  i know not when

the idea arose in man that he could or should take charge of his life

to make things better for himself

that he need not accept the cycles of dispensation as life provided

and took away

perhaps he thought or desired not to die in his own time

or that his children or mate should not die

this is not known to me

all that is known is that mankind came to rebel against the order of life


perhaps this is the natural next step of man

i do not know

in any case  -  man made many changes in this world

apparently to improve his situation  -  that he might not have to
strive and struggle and die

that life might be made easier  -  and last longer

how and why is lost in the passage of time

all that is known is that man became greedy and selfish and
feared for himself

once man took only what he needed to live and there was
balance in this world

but man then came to take more than he needed

and deprived others of his kind and the creatures of the field
what they needed to live out their allotted span of time

the order of life was disrupted

soon the vast green cloak of the forests began to disappear

slowly at first  -  but with ever and ever increasing speed

for a time nature could heal the wounds to the body

but as man sought more and more not to die  -  with his vaccinations
and his cures  -  the population grew and grew and began to overwhelm
the natural life support system of this plane

more and more the great canopy of the forest disappeared

the creatures of the field  -  who also make up the fabric of life
on this plane  -  began to disappear

the atmosphere and climate began to change

the concoctions of man to improve his lot in life began to sterilize
and poison the earth

whole species were destroyed to make man safer and gorge his belly
beyond and reasonable need

the signs of decay and corruption were clear

but man refused or was unable to see the error of his ways

the great crime being perpetuated on the fragile beauty of the earth

and ultimately upon himself

man created new systems to support himself

and as each failed in time  - sought to create another and another

each failing more quickly than the last


it is not known if this journey man has taken is right or wrong

perhaps we have failed at our destiny

perhaps not

all that is known to me is that man suffers greatly amid his own creations

has brought this suffering upon himself by not accepting the gift of
life as they are offered

and accepting their loss when they are reclaimed by the order of things

the creatures of the field are born and die in their own time  -  without complaint

i have seen it so

in our own time  -  we each make our own contribution to life

to finance the slave trade

what to do

so many

want to be told what to do


so many

are willing to please them

in time to face their wrath


and a great tragedy

is upon the land


when i was much younger

i asked my father what to do


i was lewis jr.

he was the only man i respected

up to that time


his response to me was

i don't know what to tell you boy

you have to work that out with yourself


and i still do

as i can


as we all can

if we can respect ourself

life

praise from me to life

how can life be anyone

when life is everyone


life can do that

how about you

and all the rest of us

sex

human sexuality

is about more than our genitals


human sexuality

is about who we are

and sharing who we are


sharing is the clue


freedom is the greatest

gift of all

what we have in common

and the question to me is

how do i deal with

what we have in common

and what we don't


all at the same time

standard

a really stupid word

song

kind of a funny word

sounds kind of old

maybe asian

somewhere back east


my favorite song would be

a song we could sing together

as we are


with out all the other crap

that is so popular in our time


so many

seeking to control life

so few

willing to be life
