We aren’t alive or dead,
we aren’t natural or ethereal,
we haven’t body or soul,
we do not exist in this world or in another,
we have no beginning or end,
our place is placeless,
our time is timeless.
The heart has a mirror
to infinity turned.
Maybe, in other kingdoms
to have the infallible sense
of what our lives are meant to be.
Maybe, the trees may touch us
and the flowers have time for us.
Maybe, we may gleam
a sunny morning on the leaves,
maybe, we may rest
on the immaterial chords of love.

You cannot teach a river
How to flow.
You cannot tell a flower
When to bloom.
You cannot advise a fish
To fly high in the sky.
We all are unique and will shine
When the right time comes.
Exploitation is not an entitlement
Rigidity is not a negotiating tool
Statues are not living symbols
Bigotry a self-defeating tradition
Peace is a deliberate process
Facts are the IED to ignorance
Hunches aren’t a form of science
Solitude isn’t found in loneliness
Pessimism the antidote to solutions
It is the anesthetic of imagination
The eager coroner of hope
The prophet of disappointment
No reason to sign up in advance.
Good relationships are healing
So go clean up the bad ones
You’re bound to feel better
Envy and grudges are weighing you down
So toss’em in a bonfire watch all the smoke
Be much lighter in the realm of absurdity
Farther along we may understand why
natural, god-given gift, one of a kind,
a promising protege, and a rare find
all this head start, one thing rings true
whatever you do can trump your i.q.
