Current mood:  peaceful
Category: Writing and Poetry
so i had an impulse to write.
as a writer i like to share.
and this is the action i put forth.
hope you receive this with an open mind and a clear heart
let me know what you think.
its called The Music.
Enjoy and god bless.

The Music



It's the music that gives me the ability to leave my self behind and free my mind from the structure and the content within that is deeply identified with the illusion that we are not the standard. The delusion that diversity must be put in a box that is labeled standard. Each and everyone of us are made through the suffering and struggle of birth. The contractions of life which must be embraced and not repressed by the guilt of man. The strongest, wisest, and most peaceful beings are the one's who have witnessed within the dream the deepest struggling and suffering.They are always being reborn in one form. Reborn in One form. It's the music that runs through the current of this being that electrifies and shocks this system of breathing and pulsing and pissing and shitting and laughing and crying and dancing and screaming and writing and painting……….and being that I am.

I will never be identified.

I will never have the ability to live life in a square or just inside the lines.

I will never live life with any label and

I will never identify with anyone else's.

It just seems to be the real dysfunction junction .

I have tried many times to conform to the rules of man and play the role that man plays. The game.

The play.

The act.

The role.

The identity of right and wrong. Good or bad. To desire power. To desire materials. To desire perfection. To not embrace Now.

Each time I try to play a role, I fail. Every time I label, I fail. Every time I judge, I fail. Every time I desire the outside, I fail. Every time I am not Here Now, I come really close to being paralyzed by the other, by the You.

The You is identified and the I is not.

Can you see this?

It's not that deep.

It's right on the surface on the peak of it all.

The music gives me the ability to overcome the failure. It is where I find the strength to fly high above the suffering that comes with the struggle of the failure. To observe what it is and that it shall and always will pass.

Inertia. ………………!

The music gives me the talent to rejoice the dissolving identified self.

And we all know we can't take any of these Things, these Identifications, these Forms, with us during the moments of waking up when we are dying.

Maybe next time champ.

It's the music that changes the eyes sight from identifying from the outside in to the inside out.

The songs of philosophers, romantics, lovers, fighters.

Songs of poets, writers, dancers, singers.

Songs from mothers and brothers and sisters in Life.

Songs from God.

Songs that come to us through the awakened heart.

Songs of a present presence.

Songs of true reality.

Songs from an ancient space in this liquid spiral masterpiece of what we identify and label as time.

Songs from Life.

The music that tells us to let go, get naked of your identity and 'Run God's children and Be Free of Your Self!'

Free your mind that keeps you shackled and chained to the egoic structure.

The starving, lonely, miserable, melancholy Demon Head.

Give it the freedom it desires so it can crawl into the deep gritty earth of gravity and allow it to breath in the burning beautiful core of Hell. Give it the power to release the two thousand year old pain.

Allow it to live free and Heal in its home of Hell.

Free your Mind.

Can you hear the music that strums from these things labeled fingertips?

The sound identified as Voice?

I will only call it's presence , Music!

I will always be present in its presence.

What a gift it is.

The past's songs of the children of Jerusalem sending currents of creativity through a modern day 21st century renaissance form.

Songs and songs and songs and the messages moving through observation and sight and joy and laughter and freedom and surrender and love.

The love of it all.

Free,Free,Free!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that I am not right because that would make it all wrong but all reason is lost when the music is taking over thee.

Do You See…….the music???

I know nothing, I know nothing and I thank God that I know nothing.

Free!

What a merciful God to give me one more day with the music and his songs and another opportunity to get the chords right this day.

What a faithful God to love us unconditionally for just being and loving and singing what he had giving to all of we.

Loving us even when the notes may be to sharp or to flat.

When its out of tune.

What a wonderful God.

Wow, if we could be like God.

Unconditionally.

Imagine that music.

It's the music that gives me the ability to leave my self behind and free my mind from the structure and the content that is deeply identified in the illusion that we must meet some separate stadard. To judge the journey. That is not our purpose. The illusion that diversity must be put in a box. God made all of us so very different and that will always be. So why do we constantly try to find one way of being? What is so desireable about that old labeled standard box? To not live life as an always changing and evolving presence? Sitting in the palm of Christ and healing his wound as an always blooming flower. The most precious stone with different facets and so many different colors when the light shines through it. Just being one feather out of many fallen from the dove's wings into our healer's wounded palms. One now and the diversity of all nows. Each and everyone of us are made through the suffering and struggle of birth. This is truth. The contractions of life which must be embraced and not repressed by the guilt of man. It's the music that runs through the current of this being that electrifies and shocks this system of breathing and pulsing and pissing and shitting and laughing and crying and dancing and screaming and writing and painting and Loving………and being that I am. Music is Life. I love the music therefore I am.

Brothers and Sisters, Don't label me.

Lets just sit and be still and listen to the music.

Listen to Life.

 So i’ve been re-reading a new earth by Elkhart Tolle and I have also been downloading the podcast from itunes and taking the classes to get a sharper grasp and understanding of this thing we all share, the ego...:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The first two chapters are very conceptual, especially the 1st one.

I’m going to share w/ everyone the 3rd chapter because it really breaks things down in a practical way and even though I can be ethereal and do grasp on to things that have a more direct approach. i think we all can absorb info like that a little better.

If you have gotten to this and feel a desire to read this it means that you are ready to absorb and digest it as you may.

So here we go......................................

I will break up the chapter in sections throughout the week.

The on-line discussion and class will be next Monday 6pm pacific time.

The class will be on this chapter and the information contained in it.

anything below w/ *( )* is not what is included in the book but points of referring or responding to the ideas.

Enjoy and love this moment.

 

 

___The Core of Ego______

 

 

Most people are so identified with the voice in the head -the incessant stream of involuntary and compulsive thinking and the emotions that accompany it- that we may describe them as being possessed by their mind.

 

As long as you are completely aware of this, you take the thinker to be who you are. This is the egoic mind. We call it egoic mind. We call it egoic because there is a sense of self, of I (ego ), in every thought- every memory, every interpretation, opinion, viewpoint, reaction, emotion. This is unconsciousness, spiritually speaking. Your thinking, the content of your mind, is of course conditioned by the past: your upbringing, culture, family background, and so on. The central core of all your mind activity consists of certain repetitive and persistent thoughts, emotions, and reactive patterns that you identify with most strongly. This entity is the ego itself.

 

In most cases, when you say "I ", it is the ego speaking, not you, as we have seen *(referring to the past 2 chapters)*. It consists of thought and emotion, of a bundle of memories you identify with as " me and my story ", habitual roles you play without knowing it, of collective identifications such as nationality, religion, race, social class, or political allegiance. It also contains personal identifications, not only with possessions, but also with opinions, external appearance, long- standing resentments, or concepts of yourself as better than or not as good as others, as a success or failure.

 

The content of the ego varies from person to person, but in every ego, the same structure operates. In other words: Egos only differ on the surface. Deep down they are all the same. In what way are they the same? They live on identification and separation. When you live through the mind- made self comprised of thought and emotion that is the ego, the basis for your identity is precarious because thought and emotion are by their very nature ephemeral, fleeting. so every ego is continuously struggling for survival, trying to protect and enlarge itself.

 

To uphold the I- thought, it needs the opposite thought of "the other."

The conceptual " I " cannot survive without the conceptual " other ." The others are most other when I see them as my enemies. at one end of the scale of this unconscious egoic pattern lies the egoic compulsive habit of faultfinding and complaining about others.

 

Jesus referred to it when he said, "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?" At the other end of the scale, there is physical violence between individuals and warfare between nations. In the bible, Jesus’ question remains unanswered, but the answer is, of course: because when I criticize or condemn another, it makes me feel bigger, superior.

 

COMPLAINING AND RESENTMENT

 

Complaining is one of the ego’s favorite strategies for strengthening itself. Every complaint is a little story the mind makes up that you completely believe in. Whether you complain aloud or only in thought makes no difference. Some egos that perhaps don’t have much else to identify with easily survive on complaining alone. When you are in the grip of such an ego, complaining, especially about other people, is habitual and, of course, unconscious, which means you don’t know what you are doing.

 

Applying negative mental labels to people, either to their face or more commonly when you speak about them to others or even just think about them, is often part of this pattern. Name- calling is the crudest form of such labeling and of the ego’s need to be right and triumph over others: "jerk, bastard, bitch" - all definitive pronouncements that you can’t argue with. On the next level down on the scale of unconsciousness, you have shouting and screaming, and not much below that, physical violence.

 

Resentment is the emotion that goes with the complaining and the mental labeling of people and adds even more energy to ego. Resentment means to feel bitter, indignant, aggrieved, or offended. You resent other people’s greed, their dishonesty, their lack of integrity, what they are doing, what they did in the past, what they said. what they failed to do, what they should or shouldn’t have done. The ego loves it. Instead of overlooking unconsciousness in others, you make it into their identity...................

 

*( this has been a very eye opening thing for me and something that has been a struggle for the past few weeks, but I’m getting better at recognizing that its the person ego that reacts in this manner, the pattern )*

 

.................Who is doing that? The unconsciousness in you, the ego. Sometimes the "fault" that you perceive in another isn’t even there. It is total misinterpretation, a projection by a mind conditioned to see enemies and make itself right or superior. At other times, the fault may be there, but by focusing on it, sometimes to the exclusion of everything else you amplify it. And what you react to in another, you strengthen in yourself.

 

Nonreaction to the ego in others is one of the most effective ways not only of going beyond ego in yourself but of dissolving the collective human ego. But you can only be in a state of nonreaction if you can recognize someone’s behavior as coming from the ego, as being and expression of the collective human dysfunction. When you realize it’s not personal, there is no longer a compulsion to react as it were. By not reacting to the ego, you will often be able to bring out the sanity in others, which is the unconditioned consciousness as opposed to the conditioned. At times you may have to take practical steps to protect yourself from deeply unconscious people. This you can do without making them into enemies. Your greatest protection, however, is being conscious.

 

Somebody becomes an enemy if you personalize the unconsciousness that is ego. Nonreaction is not weakness but strength. Another word for nonreaction is forgiveness. To forgive is to overlook, or rather to look through. You look through the ego to the sanity that is in every human being as his or her essence.

 

The ego loves to complain and feel resentful not only about other people but also situations. What you can do to a person, you can also do to a situation: make it into an enemy. The implication is always : This should not be happening ; I don’t want to be here; I don’t want to be doing this ; I’m being treated unfairly. And the ego’s greatest enemy of all is ,of course, life itself.

 

Complaining is not to be confused with the informing someone of a mistake or deficiency so that it can put right. And to refrain from complaining doesn’t necessarily mean putting up with bad behavior. there is no ego in telling the waiter that your soup is cold and needs to be heated - if you stick to the facts, which are always neutral. " How dare you serve me cold soup......" That’s complaining. There is a " me " here that loves to feel personally offended by the cold soup and is going to make the most of it, a " me" that enjoys making someone wrong. The complaining we are talking about is in service of the ego, not of change. Sometimes it becomes obvious that the ego doesn’t really want change so that it can go on complaining.

 

See if you can catch, that is to say, notice, the voice in the head, perhaps in the very moment it complains about something. And recognize it for what it is: the voice of the ego, no more than a conditioned mind- pattern, a thought. Whenever you notice that voice, you will also realize that you are not that voice, but the one who is aware of it. In fact, you are the awareness that is aware of the voice. In the background, there is awareness. In the foreground, there is the voice, the thinker. In this way, you are becoming free of the ego, free of the unobserved mind. The moment you become aware of the ego in you, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind-pattern.

 

Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist. The old mind -pattern or mental habit may still survive and reoccur for a while because it has momentum of thousands of years of collective human unconsciousness behind it, but every time it is recognized, it is weakened.

 

 

 

............So there it is for now.

I will post the next bulletin later today or tomorrow.

Its about Reactivity and Grievances.

i apologize for any typos.

hope I’m finding anyone who got this far in a great space of NOW.

Feel free to correspond.

Peace Love and Gratitude!!!

And so,

The sky went from blue to orange to black.

I reached the peak of the mountain from many days of strive.

Climbing it through the most garish of obstacles.

The soul came face to face w/ the ego and

in one strong swing of the sword the soul slahshed off the ego's

head.

White flags fell from the sky and the soul laid its body upon the earth

and closed his eyes and spoke aloud,

"I surrender, I surrender, I surrender."

And this is where I found peace.

And so on and so on and sewn on.                                           2/9/8  4.47a

What do I think about now?

It's Friday, or you can say late Thursday night,

January 18th, 2008.

2:54 am as I write this.

I have been going through what I call a transition

since the turn of the New Year.

To be honest, which I do value myself w/ that virtue, its been………………………a transition.

A guilty conscience pushes the honesty to the surface and can only hold the illusion of self for so long.

The truly guilty are the honest that live with regret and seek

atonement.

The guilty conscience keeps fears and control issues balanced 

Yet they do sway,

At times.

The balance of it all.

Does your conscience experience guilt?

What do I think about now?

Its hard to say.

My feelings have been wrapped in thoughts

as my thoughts have been wrapped in a numbness and a humbleness.

Knowing that I know enough to know that I do not know that much.

I ask, "WHO here does"?

What do I feel right now?

That is a question that I ask myself.

Sitting,

Typing,

My dog chewing on the largest soup bone I have ever purchased.

It's pretty ridiculous.

A good way to take care of man's best friend.

Anyways…………………..,

The New Year has come and I am in transition.

Letting go.

A year which has passed w/ gallons and gallons of water passing through my soul.

Rivers washing away the years of lost and sadness.

Confusion.

Regret.

Loneliness.

Alienation.

Heavy EGO.

The Fear.

The blue boy of have been.

What have I learned in one year.

Two years,

Three years.

In All of your years

What have you learned?

I ask people.

How are YOU prepared for the worst?

My mom always said to EXPECT the worst because if the worst does not happen you are not as disappointed.

Why have expectations?

Why have expectations?

I now ask my mother.

Why have EXPECTATIONS?

Oh, the pain of expecting.

What have you learned in

12 months

365 days

8765.81277 hours

31556926 seconds?

31 million,

556 thousand,

926 seconds?

What are you doing this second?

Reading this?

Well thank you for your time.

How many of those seconds have I let waste in one year?

If life is lived in moments, are they wasted in seconds?

Second and Seconds and seconds.

Passing by………………………..

What do I think about now?

This moment filled w/ seconds.

Running in circles trying to find truth and answers to the magnificent world and mysteries of Love.

Why must one be at their weakest and in the most lost and vulnerable state of states when the rarest peace and balance that one may experience intersects the path that has been followed?

Why do we hold onto the pain?

Why do we make excuses for our pain?

Why are we victims?

Is it the training of a warrior yet born?

The peaceful warrior of love?

How are you prepared for the worst?

That moment when your everything is lost in seconds.

Seconds Passing by.

Never skipping a beat..

Rushing through the hourglass of constant consistent change.

Faster and faster.

The sap of pain covering the skin of the soul.

Your skin.

Your soul.

In eyes.

Thick in hair.

Dripping slowly and sticky.

Suffocating and blinding.

Very tired as one must rest and dream of the transcendence of an ancient tree in a forest dead in time.

The lightness of dreams and love.

The idea of easiness.

The idealism.

The freedom to breathe again.

United we stand,

Divided we fall.

I fall?

You fall?

I stand or you fall?

You stand or I fall?

Or we both stand?

Side by side.

Equal.

Eyes to Eyes.

The illusion of love and what we love.

Is love the illusion?

I am alone.

Freedom I have.

Braking through the bars.

Bars and bars and bars and bars………………

Gay bars,

Straight bars,

White bars,

Black bars,

Girl bars,

Boy bars,

Holy bars,

and

Jail bars.

What do I think right now?

This moment filled w/ seconds.

Right now this moment I miss the touch of a love once held in me.

Right now this moment I am void yet full w/ thee.

What have I learned in two years or three years?

Four years or Five years?

Six years

and more have gone.

Years which pass where demons meet

Brain to heart,

I to I,

and the greatest wars

have taken place

inside.

Battles of the past and present.

Battles of the right and not so right.

Battles of freedom and slavery.

Battles of fear and love.

Battles of peace and war.

Battles of light and dark.

A battle deep inside where eyes can not see.

A battle that is lived and a battle that is received.

Battles that make us think, feel, and believe.

A war of boys into men.

Fairytale ideals and fantasies shifted into the wisdom and insight for the ages.

How do I feel right now in this moment?

I miss my love.

I miss my love.

I miss my love.

I wonder as a wanderer in this evolving landscape of thought and emotion.

Memories are all we have.

Pictures I hold that take me to a great park filled w/ roses where Shakespeare's name is carved into a fountain .

For lovers so lovers can love

And love and love.

Young innocent untainted love.

I miss my love.

The laughter  resonates inside and echoes through my mind.

Through my heart.

Every memory has been sown and colors etched within every action.

Every do and do and do and thought and thought and thought and

I shall and must be silent now.

The effort to heal and move forward.

The dreaming to change.

The hope to………………

I miss you.

I am alone now.

Filled w/ the joy of experience and growth.

The gratitude of surviving and getting all the way through.

Where do I go now.

Where do I grow now?

We once had a dream and now it carries in the wind where tornadoes land.

Where will the dream land?

What do I think about now?

Its hard to say.

My feelings have been wrapped in thoughts as my thoughts have been wrapped in a numbness and humbleness.

Knowing that I know enough to know that I don't know that much.

and

I ask,

"WHO here does"?

What do I feel right now?

That is a question that I ask myself.

Sitting,

Typing,

My dog chewing on the largest soup bone I have ever purchased.

It's pretty ridiculous.

A good way to take care of man's best friend.

Anyways…………………..,

It's Friday, or you can say late Thursday night, on January 18th, 2008.

3: 51 a.m. as I finish this and

I,

I miss,

I miss my,

I miss my love.

This is the moment I feel

filled w/ seconds.

Sweet dreams,

in my dreams.

Strawberry kisses and a galaxy far far away.

Love.  What a pretty word.

Love love love and babble babble babble.

How many times have we heard that word and since we were born and how much do  we lose the signifigance of it.

Is it our fear of being good

and our fear of fear

and our fear of lack

or our fear of death

or the end of the world

or global warming

or terrorism or disease

or a weak backward thinking inhumane unaware cryptic, I don't even know if that word fits,but it sounds right, government.

Or people dying from bombs and guns and

fear and hate and confusion and

afraid and

MAY THE BEST OF YOUR PAST BE THE WORST OF YOUR FUTURE.


HERE'S TO A NEW YEAR OF NEW BEGINNINGS.

WE AS A HUMAN CULTURE HAVE BEEN ENDURING ALOT IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.
IT HAS MANIFESTED INTO OUR LIVES.
MAY IT BE IN RELATIONSHIPS, CAREERS, FINANCES, OR EVEN ON PERSONAL LEVELS.

ENDURING THE STRUGGLE OF LETTING GO OF DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS,
OPENING UP TO A MORE WELL ROUNDED AND LESS JUDGEMENTAL PERSON AND THE MOST SIMPLE THING OF ALL,

LEARNING HOW TO LOVE EACH OTHER ,OURSELVES AND THE WORLD MORE UNCONDITIONALLY.

I HAVE EXPERIENCE ALOT IN MY SHORT 31 YEARS.
THE GREATEST OF ALL THOSE EXPERIENCES HAVE BEEN FROM 2001-2007.

I MEAN GREAT BECAUSE THOSE WERE THE TOUGHEST.

I'VE HAD VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE PASS ON PAST LIFE.

I TOOK THE SCARIEST AND MOST IMPORTANT LEAP INTO EXPERIENCING BEING LOVED BY SOMEONE AND LOVING IN RETURN.

I CHANGED MY PURPOSE, NUMEROUS TIMES.

I'VE EXPERIENCED FRIENDS GET MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN.

I'VE EXPERIMENTED W/ THINGS I SAID I NEVER WOULD HAVE.

I'VE CRIED MORE THAN I EVER HAVE.

I'VE LAUGHED ALOT ALSO.

SO NOW WE'RE HERE.

THIS IS THE YEAR OF A NEW KING OR POSSIBLY QUEEN IN OUR LAND.

THIS IS THE YEAR WHERE HOPEFULLY YOU'VE SEEN THE PLANET EARTH SERIES, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T GET TO IT.

ITS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT THIS IS THE YEAR WHERE WE CAN HEAL A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE AND STRESS THAT' S BEEN PUT ON OUR PLANET.

THIS IS A YEAR WHEN WE CAN ACCEPT THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERNT THAN US AND I'M NOT LIMITING DIFEERNT JUST TO OUR CONVENTIONAL IDEAS OF DIFFERENCE, SUCH AS INTERNAL RACISM, HOMOPHOPIA, THE RICH AND POOR WAR.


WE MUST LEARN TO ACCEPT THE DIFFERENCES OF THOUGHT AND EXPERIENCE.

OUR SPIRITUAL DIFFERENCES ARE SURFACING NOW.

THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT LOVE IS BEING CHALLENGED.

LOVE OF YOURSELF,LOVE OF YOUR FELLOW HUMANS, LOVE OF THE EARTH, LOVE OF EXISTENCE IN GENERAL.

WE MUST LEARN, PUT INTO ACTION AND TRULY WAKE UP AND LISTEN TO EVERYONE'S THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND AND HEAL THOSE WHO DESTROY OUT OF FEAR AND PAIN.

LISTEN UNCONDITIONALLY AND LOVINGLY.


THE PAST 7 YEARS HAVE BEEN TRIAL AND TRIBULATION FOR MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE HAD THE FORTUNATE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OBSERVATIONS, IDEAS, AND PERSPECTIVE ON OUR OWN HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

WE AS A WHOLE HAVE BEEN SO BOMBARDED IN THE PAST FEW YEARS BY SO MUCH IMFORMATION AND PERSPECTIVE.

THE THING I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS POWER SURGE IS THAT SHIT REALLY 'AIN'T PERFECT'.

WE COME FROM AN IMPERFECT GOVERNMENT.
AN IMPERFECT MEDIA.
AN IMPERFECT CHURCH.
AN IMPERFECT FAMILY.
WE OURSELVES ARE IMPERFECT.

AND THE BEAUTY OF ALL THESE IMPERFECTIONS MAKE IT TOTALLY FUCKING PERFECT.

I'M STARTING THIS NEW YEAR COMPLETELY IMPERFECT AND LOVING EVERY FUCKING OUNCE OF THIS IMPERFECTION.

I'M GOING TO LOVE IT SO HARD THAT ITS NOT GOING TO KNOW WHAT TO DO W/ ITS SELF OTHER THAN LAUGH AND SMILE.

AND I ASK EVERYONE.

ARE YOU UP TO DOING IT TOO?

AND IF YOU ASK,"WHY?"

WELL WHY NOT???????????????

THERE ARE SOMETHINGS THAT I'M NOT LETTING BACK IN TO THIS NEW YEAR.

I LOCKED THE GATE AND LOCKED OUT 07 AND THE 07 KEY JUST BURNED UP IN MY HANDS.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THOUGH.

THAT'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN.

NEVER FORGET.
BUT DEFINETLY LET GO.

A NEW GATE OPENED TO A NEW YEAR AND THE AIR SEEMS ALOT LIGHTER.

I CAN BREATHE BETTER.
I CAN SEE BETTER.
I CAN HEAR BETTER.
I CAN MOVE BETTER.
AND BEST OF ALL I'M READY TO LOVE BETTER.

WHAT A YEAR WE ALL CAN MAKE THIS.

NOW ITS TIME TO GET PAST OUR OWN HOME IMPROVEMENTS AND GET OUT IN THE WORLD AND DO SOMETHING.

WE'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF THIS COMPUTER SCREEN LONG ENOUGH.

DOWNLOADING MUSIC,
CONNECTING W/ EVERYONE,
EXPANDING OUR IDEAS ABOUT SEXUALITY. ; )

WE'VE SEEN ALOT THROUGH THIS TINY,LITTLE PORTAL INTO THE WORLD WIDE WEB OF INFORMATION.

WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THE WEB AND GET INTO THE WORLD.

AND I'M NOT NECCESARILY SURE IF YOU WANT TO.

WE ARE CREATURES OF HABIT AND WE LOVE TO BE CONTENT W/ COMPLACENCY IN OUR ROUTINE PATTERNS.

IT'S NOT A BAD THING EITHER.
IT'S JUST OUR PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS I GUESS.

BUT LIKE GHANDI SAID.
BE THE CAHNGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.

I TRULY BELIVE THAT THE ONLY THING THAT IS CONSISTENT AND IS PERFECT IS CHANGE AND THAT POWER BEHIND IT.

THE OPPOSITE OF CHANGE IS COMPLACENCY.

IF IT CAN'T CHANGE ITS FROZEN OR STUCK AND GROWTH STOPS.

TAKE MY WORD,
I KNOW THIS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

SO, TO ALL MY FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THIS MYSPACE WORLD.

WE OUR A GENERATION THAT CAN REALLY STAND OUT IN THIS THING WE CALL TIME.

I'M READY TO GROW AND CHANGE FOR MYSELF AND BE THAT SUPER HERO I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE.

WHY NOT???????????????????


AND IF WE CAN'T 'FEEL GREAT' ABOUT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN OR THE LIVES WE WERE GIVING.
WELL IT LACKS BALANCE AND HARMONY.
THE LAST THING WE NEED TO FEEL THIS YEAR IS LACK.
WE'VE GOT THAT FEELING DOWN.
IT'S NOT ABOUT FEELING GOOD OR EVEN FEELING BAD.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT.
WE NEED TO WAKE UP EACH DAY AND SAY THIS IS GREAT.
AND AS CORNY AS IT MAY SOUND.
2008 IS GOING TO BE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING GRRRRREAT!!!

I'M JUST ONE LITTE SPECK OF MAN W/ A HEART WAY BIGGER THAN THIS BODY I CARRY AROUND.

LOVE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN HURT.

AND LETS SEE WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH.

READY,
SET,GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS NOT A RACE OR A COMPETITION.

LETS ALL RUN TOGETHER AS THE PEOPLE THAT WE ARE W/ OUR HANDS HELD HIGH AND LAUGHING HARD AND ALWAYS FLYING FORWARD AND TO UNDERSTAND WE ARE ALL DOING THIS TOGETHER,

THIS THING CALLED LIFE AND THAT'S SOMETHING TO FOCUS ON BECAUSE IT MEANS MORE THAN ANYTHING AT THIS POINT IN ALL OF OUR LIVES.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S, YA'LL.

WHOEVER HAS A HELLUV HANGOVER.
LOVE IT.......................AND DRINK SOME WATER WILL YA
AND GO EAT SOME GREASY HEALTHY GRUB IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT EXISTS LIKE THAT.

OUTTA HERE TIL NEXT TIME,

THE SILVERHAWK..................AKA BOBBY NEWMAN


MAY THE BEST OF YOUR PAST BE THE WORST OF YOUR FUTURE.

WHATS YOUR RESOLUTION?

MINE????TO FOLLOW THROUGH W/ MY WORDS.

GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ALWAYS BE GREAT-FULL AND FULL OF GREAT- NESS GREAT IN '08

THIS LOVE,

THIS HEART,

WHERE IS IT?          

IT'S LIKE WATER SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS.

MY HANDS ARE DRY NOW. 

THIS LACK OF MOISTURE FROM THE TRUE  RICHNESS IS CRACKING MY HANDS AND THIS CRACKING HURTS VERY VERY DELICIOUSLY.

SO YUMMY THAT I WOULD RATHER SPEND ETERNITY IN A DARK SILENCE.

MY EARS ARE DEAF,

MY EYES SEE NO LIGHT AND I SIT HERE ALONE,

SATISFIED.
