Spirituality, Self-Knowledge and The Art of Living

technology does not make life better

it is another way of carrying out acts

people are the technology

that is the key

consider what you really do with

your technology

and

what it does to you

The smoke hangs heavy where the voices are,

the snow melts the soonest where the voices are,

quickly fly the swallows so far away where

the voices are,

the sea raging in its darkest foam,

the wind in quckest force is blown

these go to where the voices are

in the rabid scorn of human beasts

in the open hearts of human beings

in the evolving senses of human becomings

all go to where the voices are

on the salty marsh and chill mountain pass

where all the roads that lead

to a throbbing modern Rome

in the end

all go to where the voices are

the voices are

the voices are

the voices are

birds will not sing

for those that are

not

prepared to listen

even in the most barren place

my heart hears birdsong

there are winter winds that are coming

but now in summer  they seem of no importance

every season is ten thousand years

and a calendar of being and becoming

winter winds are coming

batten down all that is truly precious

until they blow themselves away

and out

the winter winds

are coming

on each and every gale

an ancient saga retold

each of your senses

is a gateway

to a new world

in which

a different

state of being

and consciousness

can be understood

and thus

finding a way

back to your self

there is only one true ambition:

that is

to live and to not

be afraid

of living

and the force

that life

offers you

Can you feel it?

I believe you can, I know you can

we all can feel it, the never ending myth

that makes the human race dwell in

the highest and the lowest of all places

and in the hearts of all Gods

giving them meaning and purpose,

for what is a god without those who worship,

just a stranger on the back seat on an interstate greyhound bus,

or the lost wave of starlight in the glare of a Tokyo night

can you feel it?

I know you can, I believe you can

for there will come a time when all of us will need to feel it

if we are to survive…

I hear you ask , ‘well, what is this ‘it’

my answer is, this ‘it’ is you, me, everyone,

for each of us is responsible one for the other

where we are each the love, brother,sister,mother,father,lover

deceased, born, the john doe,

we are all bambi and

all the monster in the moonlight

can you feel it?

Blessings

are those things

that we do not

expect or understand

yet really

they come

from within us

awareness

is where your heart is

focused upon

awareness creates

the state of mind and emotion,language

and behaviour, work and leisure

allon which your heart is focused on

consider where you awareness is placed

so you will find your life

be aware of where your awareness

arises from, is directed to and ends up

you may not be aware of what you are

aware of

awareness is both discipline and naturalness

Democracy is dependent upon a thriving economy

in fact when an economy creates wealth and well-being

any system that seeks to favour only a set way of governance

is deposed

wealth generation is like water

it finds its way into every crack and crevice

and will erode all things

that seek to obstruct

the process of growth
