where does your inspiration come from?

who do you place your inspiration upon…

thinking that it is they that inspires you

when it is your inspiration

refracted back upon you…

inspiration dwells in

what it may

it is the core of your breath

it fans the blue fire of eternity

that dwells in your heart

you and your life

are inspiration on the journey

to realisation

Panic in the afternoon

that is when it came, slowly like waking from a long and pleasurable sleep

sitting there in the cafe, the radio blurted out the words,’people are going mad in the streets’

a lot of people went mad just hearing that, leaving their coffee to cool

some of us, ordered more , waiters are most happy when given something to do,

panic in the afternoon, what caused it..? Three centuries of mindless abuse of the planet’s resources

Everyone forgets that it all started with the Industrial Revolution, but which one?..All of them,

History is there to remind us, but we choose to forget, the legacy of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century’s economic belief

gave birth to the illness of .’we can have it all-now’

The Twentieth Century was a century of mistaken identities and had ‘no comment’

The earth spins not because of us, but through us…

there was panic in the afternoon, when the ocean washed away the Maldives, there was

a photograph of the prime minister of the maldives standing on the tallest building shaking his fist,

like a captain going down with his ship and there was more panic when London flooded suddenly

there was panic in the afternoon when the Panama Canal was submerged,

and most of

Indonesia

was invaded by the sea

Nature does not wait for global warming indicators, it will happen all at once, globally

there will be panic in the afternoon,

I prefer taking my afternoon coffee in a cafe high on a mountain

where at least a philosophical view can be washed away and leave room for survival

Global Warming

is

a psychological condition

a spiritual crisis

an emotiional reckoning

and a physicial truth

that comes

from

the larger anxiety

of the human

condition

if people want to change Global Warming

they need to stop the way they consume

change the economic belief system

give up the addictions of separateness

and realise

that for every drop of frozen water

in every glacier, so to

a cell in each of our bodies

dissapears

as global warming accelerates

so will the illnesses of humanity

this is because we are all each other

and the earth,only our lack of perception

makes us believe that we are not mud,rock or oil spill

who

are the others,

us,them?

they are you

When time no longer has its sway

over all your plans and hopes,

when time is but a memory

and space a thing no longer

trapped by perception’s faulty glance

then you will know

just who and why

you are

and in that

timeless moment

all the beings that make

you

up

shall be remade, reborn

illuminated

when time no longer has its sway

the sun

send its rays

out into the arc of space

where its light

falls, already ancient

to warm the urge to life

thus all things under the arc of the sun

are dwelling in

ancient light

and this light

conditions and influences

all thoughts and actions

philosophies and beliefs

all arts and science

all of this

contains the light seeds of the past

our creation is living in the past

and so do our brains

for when we break free of this

in a massive step in evolution

we become no longer children of the solar path

the world is fuelled by anger

but seeks the solace of love

the world is made of anger but moves towards peacefulness

in this world, made by momentary attachments

strung like old false teeth

on a string of anger

love and wisdom

wait for their time

for they are patient and strong

solitude

is where

inner maturity

grows

solitude is not loneliness

nor is it the rejection of society

but the ability to be

with one’s self

and accept all parts of one’s

self

without judgement, approval or regret

and in that

become more human

when waking from the sleep

you call your life

what shall you see?

more of the same?

a new way to be?

a new new inner state?

but may be you will wake momentarily

then fall asleep again

and live all your life

empowered by the memory of waking

when waking from your sleep

what will your life be?

when in doubt

breathe

in and out

and the doubt

will fade and cease

for in the breath

is wisdom and repose

answers and actions

and directions

to be found in your natural flow

of breath
