Who Are You?

the self; consciousness; poetry; poem; aj snook
The Self / Deviant Art
Perception isn't truth
Freedom is the will and power to change perception
Her exoskeleton solidifies
With each mistrust and act
Against all things genuine
His extrasensory perception,
Aware outside of language,
Sees her,
an entity of conscious evil
She presents herself with class and grace
Though her motives are for self
And material
raping
He is pure
Her extrasensory perception knows it
And pounces
All elves aren't benevolent
All inexplicable realities aren't divine
In this moment
Who are you?

Fwd: Email Posting

I just discovered posting directly by email and want to try it out. I'm hoping it will improve productivity and eliminate the feeling that I have to hide my screen at work. Everyone needs downtime at the office and I'd like to spend more of mine writing. Why is it OK to spend break time consuming news or Facebook fluff, but it's odd or even frowned upon to pass the lunch hour producing creative works or exploring ideas that often appear and disappear in the mind without first brushing up against another consciousness? Here's to evolving the daily routine that I may one day get to evaporate with the flame that lights and guides my hope of an even more simple, self reliant, mindful, compassionate and soulful future.

Madhouse.

Madhouse. Never have I seen so many tears and red faces at work. A school sits in shambles, near crumbling, while the teachers hold onto their careers like a weary Pacific fisherman whose boat's being steered by the end of his line into colder, less certain waters. They talk about hard work, but that doesn't exist here. This is the madhouse of bureaucracy, the place of scheduling, jargon, and the checking of checklists. Call it something, just not hard. It's not that the soul should exist here. It shouldn't. It can't. The soul has no interest in spending its time here. The heart's center lives free out there. The window that looks out from my classroom reveals nothing more than a reflection of the one soul, taunting me (us?) to take a (the?) courageous leap into itself, a leap that we must all take, a receipt of our validity to the universe, to the watchers behind the veil, whisperers in the transdimensional darkness, elves out of time, our final products with keen perspective. This school, no matter its mission statement, narrows existential viewpoints and stagnates grand progress. Madhouse.

Dew Drops Plowing Through Life's Instant

We all plow through life, no more than dew drops on leaves, an instant away from letting go, from falling into the soil below, from being absorbed by the earth that birthed us. So, as we put one foot forward and commence on our journey, day in and day out, again and again, let us not be foolish and see ourselves as others, but rather, let us be wise and see others as ourselves.
