My Menagerie

Thoughts I’ve Captured

[wordjoust]

Let There be Light

Understand the meaning of what you see.  Believe what it tells you.  Accept the truth revealed by appearances.  Look carefully.  Don't look away.  Resolve uncertainties.

Eyes are honest windows into the material world but thoughts can be insightful too. It makes sense that we dream best with our eyes closed.  Our heart and soul dwell inside us, even if they extend to infinity.  

There are 3 types of light; Abstract, which is darkness, Manifested, which illuminates all life, and Universal, which is the bright light of our Sun.  Each reveals in its own way.

“Mental perception, to become physical perception, must have the Cosmic principle of light”

Whispers

People make so many unbearable noises.  We spend our lives making useless sounds. Yet the whisper of a lover's intimacy is so profoundly moving.  It can lull one to dream about such merciful pleasures.

Music

Let your Breath fill your sails and propel you forward and upward.  Fill your lungs from the Divine Airy source.  SING...

The Mind’s Eye

See beyond appearances and reason; find the true meaning.  Pierce the Veil.  Use your Third Eye.  Invoke our Moon, Selena.

A Steady Heart

Be light and open.  Stay free and focused.  Think, see, breathe, and speak regularly.  Feel life flowing in and out of you with every beat of your heart.  Soar effortlessly.  Observation: I played hooky today and loved my personal time but was also struck by the irony of how our Heart, our faithful, most hard working of organs, credited with gifting us our feelings, is steady and unemotional in the performance of its duty.

Body and Soul

Let's grow and thrive.  It's our divine purpose.  The holy spirit compromised itself and became human so that we too might know God.  Observation: two brown swans swimming and flying into the sun together.  One a reflection of the other.

[wordjoust]

Mind and Soul

Expand, connect.  If the mind is personality incarnate  then the soul is everlasting spiritual life.  Expand in time and space and ask the question: What is the role of the angelic spirits in the material realm?

[wordjoust]

Language

Compose your thoughts in silence. Silence is the sound of strength. Weed mannerisms out, evolve a clear, simple, quiet language.   Speak when necessary.

The Three Second Rule

I'm starting to see time more like a river than a road.  Fluid and all around me.  It's an illogical thought, and I'm not sure what it means but I sometimes feel that my past walks in front of me and my present is inevitable, like a past occurrence.  The future is trickier, sometimes I can't see it at all.

And sometimes I can.  I've been considering my actions in time lately, I've been forcing myself to wait at least 3 seconds before reacting.  By nature I'm the horse waiting to dash out of the gate and I like that energy but I'm trying to couple that with the insight that a minimum of 3 seconds can provide.  I often succeed and find myself rethinking my actions.  Many times taking no action at all.

Blue Frog

Once upon a midnight blue

sat a frog whose name was Hue

No such name, you say, you say,

not at night and not in day

Comes the frog whose name is Hue

and says this to me and you

Hue's a fine name for a frog

not a monkey, not a dog

Thought I'd tell you so you know

'cause I really gotta go...

Surreal Road

1- One can land easier on two.  Glide to a landing on soft water (balanced emotions).

2- Keep if fresh.  Nobody likes a rotten banana.

3- Invoke Zanoni Magic

4- Choose to see the bright horns of the moon and gore the dark with them.

5- Energy and mass are separate but their two personalities must express themselves as one.  Look at the detail, find the meaning.

6- Clarify.  Focus inner and outer sight.  Look into the natural and divine voids and fill them with your desire to procreate in good faith.  

7- Ease into Wisdom.  Know when to act.  Time is not important.  It's the right combination of circumstances that matter.

Windows to Your Soul

Your sea eyes

caress my cheek

with delicate butterfly wings

and howl like a gale wind.

They sparkle and dance

like twin aquamarine diamonds.

[wordjoust]

What you are to me...

Let's call my love for you, need

Poetry, my bedtime prayer

Desire, the beating of my heart

Pain, your absence from my house

Your breath, an ocean I'd gladly drown in

Old age, eternities together

Strength, the measure of my love for you

Truth, the name I call you by

Betrayal, an act of self destruction

Virginity, a bouquet of fresh cut flowers

Country, the street you live on

Sin, a voyeur's envy of our intimacy

Guilt, only by omission

Innocence, the number of your years

Light, a reflection of you cheek

Summer, the exuberant season of you

The abyss, your indifference

Silence, our locked lips

My life, your joy, your pleasure.

Exorcism

I painted my demons Forest Green. They faded into the jungle and dissapeared. Just like that...

The Four Winds

To orient oneself, it helps to be situated in the center of it all.

Be the hub.  In the center is the source of all the four winds.  They will anchor you there and give you the push you need to move in any direction, with the gentlest of efforts.

A New Morning

Feels like yesterday never ended, but it has. My feelings are a bridge that must be crossed.  I keep in mind that some bridges are unsafe and should not be crossed, sometimes one needs to walk the long way around. But I have to wake up, it’s a beautiful new day!
