Opinions are not facts

but because we hold opinions

we think to be true

we make them into beliefs

beliefs are not facts

they are statements of faith

faith is not fact

it is a subjective belief about your place in the world

the world of mankind

is built on opinions,beliefs and faith

and this all adds to the confusion

The summation of

all of mankind’s

acheivements

can be found

in

the way

a child

understands

the world

and contributes to it

and when an adult on the deathbed

can understand why life was the way it was

and move on

in the river

there floated human excrement

a shoe and an empty bottle

that once contained

‘the real thing’

the real thing

is sought after

it is not that people

seek a greener pasture

they unconsciously

want to sow the seeds

themselves and cut the sprouting growth

by their will

the wind blows

snow falls

here in the mountains

wild memories

from the stone

the passing footsteps

of the ancient ones

are found in the

rush

of

Fifth Avenue

wisdom is like water

it permeates

everywhere

like a virus for evolution

it lies hidden

in ignorance

We

you are I

all of us

are all

that there is

there is noting else

looking towards the light

where does your shadow fall?

behind you?

within you?

in front of your feet?

in other people?

our shadow seeks the light

its a reminder of the voyage

we make

all of us

psychonauts

in search

of a golden fleece

Taking the time to be mindful

on how you think

and what you feel

brings the chance

to know

the freedom

that dwells

within

the patterns

of mind and body

Society is not what it seems when you look at its fabric. We are told it either resilient or frayed at the seams, that the end of the world is soon or has happened , or that the world will not end, society is the field where history and economics ply their force and thus people react fearfully to both prolonging the pattern.

Society is made up of people who do not know who they are and know less than their Grandparents did about the world. In an information rich world, society is apparently richer for the information garnered, but yet individuals are information poor. We become dependent on information that is made apparent by its ease, yet what does it do for who we truly are?

It is the absence of such dependency that we gain individual ascendency in the world of our emotions, thoughts and actions.

Imagination

dwells

in the

heart

of

all

things

as

does

understanding

there

are no big questions

only timely answers

to discover is to receive

to know is to be

to live is to be free of identification

Autumn comes

some call it Fall

leaves expire

giving air to the wind

slowly fall the feathers of birds

transmigrating from this horizon to the next unseen bough

of blessedness

seasons

come

and go

just like memories

only the

trace

is left

behind

the lure of the past
