Uncertainly certain that something was amiss, certainly certain that I was remiss; set your house in order and you too can feel bliss. Stand up straight with your shoulders back, and clean up your room. Tend to that which you have neglected, and shine a light on the dark corners of your being and illuminate … Continue reading Positive Resonance.
Author: Lao Tzu
I'm a man who is trying to improve the world. I know this is an arduous task, however, broken down logically it isn't so complicated. The world is made up of individual humans. Change a human, change a part of the world. Start with yourself.
The world ways heavy on my shoulders. All the pieces can be perfectly placed, and still the world weighs heavy; weighs-less sometimes, but sometimes the weight is more than can be upheld, more than I can carry alone. A weight to be carried alone or at least it feels this way; friends and family are … Continue reading
Intimacy.
The rhythm of life, the inhalation and exhalation of all things permeates all. The sun, the moon, and the tides, too; life and death, waking up and then being laid to rest. Relations between us, the intimacy that we share, that we shared. Intimacy; closeness: emotionally, physically, mentally. Intimacy waxes and wanes as if life … Continue reading Intimacy.
There is nothing beyond what you require; you need not more than is sufficient.
Life is restless. We fidget, move and yearn for activity, for stimulation beyond right now... beyond the enveloping sensation of the present moment. There is something to be said about taking the necessary repeatable steps of self-care, introspection, financial stability... However, after that, what else is there? Yes, you may pursue a noble goal and … Continue reading There is nothing beyond what you require; you need not more than is sufficient.
Tentative, uncertain, doubts; love.
What is the perfect partner... is there such a thing... would I even know if she was placed perfectly in front of me? How am I supposed to feel, what are the signs, what should I look for? I want to feel stimulated and mentally involved; I want conversations to arise out of the banalities … Continue reading Tentative, uncertain, doubts; love.
Changes
And with courageous bravery the hero steps outside the protective armour; outside the city walls, In a new city, only 10 months ago, and yet I continue to lay my roots. Each connection worth its weight in gold, and yet, I still chose to fold. Cannot be friends, is what she did say; I understood. … Continue reading Changes
Seeing things through
In love, we strive for the best; in love, we are taken to the test, The test of what we're made of, the manifestation of what we're afraid of, when the conscious and unconcious forces collide; how you truly feel, it cannot hide. I know security and stability are of high esteem, regarded by many, … Continue reading Seeing things through
Communication, oh silly me!
Being wrong has never felt so sweet. Emotions are a mysterious thing, especially not being raised in a way that promoted emotional intelligence, so of course I was wrong. I was wrong because I didn't know what success felt like—I had no frame of reference. History, the harshest teacher, had taught me anxiety and uncertainty … Continue reading Communication, oh silly me!
To like, to love; no in between.
To like and to love is separated by international waters; one couldn't possibly mistake one for the other. And still, we find ourselves floating in our lonely boat in deep water, and yet, no matter how much we wish to wash up on the shores of love if the wind does not blow, then, well, … Continue reading To like, to love; no in between.
How to feel
How to feel, please tell me how to feel. I wish I could reveal how I feel if only I could put a name to it - I wish I knew how to feel. I feel so confused and I don't know what's what; I'm so used to anxiety and obsession that I don't know … Continue reading How to feel
