Cry for the times thought lost
found and never forgotten
in times of sorrow and joy
children of the universe
child of the stars
we the people of the earth
standing tall and standing blind
walking without understanding
of the truth of the matter
not just the matters at hand
          but what really matters                                      "In the beginning was "the word"
"Now is all there is"

This time we live in,
what is it?
Time, what is it?
Turns out it doesn't exist.
That's what I've heard anyway.....

Oh, and this....
Art is magic.........
Life is art........
Do the math =)

Life

I am an artist, as we all are. Life itself is art.
I was born with a voice that really gave me no choice
but to sing.
I try to write songs about people, places, or things
but all that ever comes out is a "feeling" of those
things from my heart, which is cool too.
Sometimes the words and the melodys seem to come
from the living earth itself.
Love, freedom, pure expression, light and integrity.
On the other hand......
I lie sometimes, sometimes I drink too much,
in my youth I was a bit of a thief.
Often, my life and my words do not match.
Often the glorious messages of peace, love and hope
are really messages to inspire me, as much, if not more,
than they are to inspire other humans.
I am filled with great love, great anger and great sadness.
I will one day be healed of the madness
brought on by these contradictions.
I can be a really great guy, I can be a fucking asshole.
Like Jake and Elwood Blues, I'm on a mission from God.
And maybe the devil, although I don't believe in the devil.
Fear is my greatest enemy.
I don't really believe in god either, at least not the "god"
I was brought up to believe in.
I believe in "the one". One energy.
I believe in the energy of love. I guess love is my "god".
So I do believe in god if by god one means love.....
What I believe doesn't change what is really true though.
The truth is very simple.
It's so simple I don't know what it is.
Maybe it's Om
When I look into my child eyes, or my cats eyes for that matter, I not only see the truth,
I know "magic" is real.
I do like to think of this life as "magic".
I hate the word "spirituality".
Magical has a lot more power to it.
Plus, to most of the population of the planet, magic is the domain
of witches and wizards.
That has a certain appeal to me.......

If the light goes out on my watch

I will make it light again

If the winds pull me down

I will sprout wings and rise above

If I am lost, I know I will be found

If the dream ends I will rejoice in the ways of the spirit

For it is this reality

that cannot be broken nor pushed aside,

that the heart is always connected,

that the spirit never dies

I can feel a peace in this moment

as I write this

as I listen

It's a peace that so often eludes me

It's a peace that I have forgotten

Yet here it is just like always

-Love-

It's not just a word

It is Reality

It is always here

It's not going anywhere

Where should it go?

Love Is all there Is

So......

Go gently into your present to find out what your missing

It's who you really are.....

May this peace stay with you

May you not so soon forget

May your heart become open

May your vision become clear

May the people of this earth come to realize

That the light inside so long ago distorted and misplaced

Is still right here, bright and magnificent and glorious as ever

Forever is not a measure of time

Forever is

"right now"

There is no separation between you and me

There is no separation between us and the trees

There is only.....The One

-One Love-

The way to the heart is the way to forever

the way to the soul,

the way to the beginning,

is the place to seek,in times of war,

and in times of peace

for it matters not what appears to exist

if appearance is all that we see

then appearance is all we shall be

when in truth we shine

when in truth we are ablaze with the heat of our spirit,

with the sound of our wings

for once the beat of the drum has begun

there can be no turning back

there is only turning in

and finding that we have been home all the time

right where we started

with the beginning and the end

with friends

just like we thought it should be........

choose it and it will come true

it's up to you

choose peace......for all of us
