Inhaltsangabe

This is a journal, if you will, most humbly offered with observation and lessons, experiences of times and places, mistakes made, and truths learned on “the trek.”

We all have our separate journeys
With countless parallels and
Many intersections along the way.
It turns out to be about ninety-two percent the
Same for all of us most times, and
The words are how I say:
Be blessed, and press on . . .

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

About the Author I refuse to apologize for what I am,
For my strengths or absurdities.
If I had it to do again, I would not change a thing
Because all of that
"The Journey"
Is in and of itself, quite specifically
The reason I am "me." (That's it.)
Be Blessed

CHAPTER 1

Love is Love
  For whatever it is
That you feel it
  And you know it is enough
As sure as a dog is
  God coming at you backwards
Sometime it is terribly tough
  To do what you have to do
Even when your heart and your spirit know
  Sometime you have to love them to the point
To set them free
  To let them go ...

Living is like walking through
  A thousand different rooms
Leaving pictures on the walls
  Of friends and places
Framed memories of everything
  One has experienced on their journey
The Good — the Bad — the Ugly
  All the joys and disgraces
In this bit of time between eternities ...

We are given these few moments here
  To discern and learn of the Truth
The Infinite Wisdom of the Ages
  The Book is open for all to see
But you have to read the pages ...

Instant in resentment
  With some bitter animosities
Self-respect inteoningled with
  Respect for the foe
Antique in courtesy
  A true warrior hostility
Always in search to learn
  What is not yet known ...

Magnanimous to forgive
  The instant reparation made
No littleness
  No variant in form
Exception — Contempt is mixed with hatred
  Then no words can convey
Any sense of the sheer intensity
  Of the scorn
That lays in wait
  Contemplate
Push on ...


You have to go deep down to
The depths of your soul
Then develop your "eye" to see it
There is an inherent beauty to everything
And your spirit needs badly
To feel it ...

And time marches on.


A coup d'etat of emotion
  Humanity being washed away
By the virtual storm of technology
  That encircles mankind everyday

It is not about the truth any longer
  Just the "Quality of Stagecraft" of the lie
Pseudo events now taken for reality
  And no one cares at all or wants to know why

So as to change it - To rearrange
  There is a proper order for everything
Be it happy sad or strange
  Folk used to conversate together
Eye to eye and face to face
  Then the great littleness of the machine came
Turned humanism into disgrace
  And thus continues to this day

Maybe we need
  To take the e-mail and the text
Study hard - Read between the lines
  And really see what is coming next
All that is left is prayer and faith
  And just a little bit of time
To make it right again ...

Whatever happened to the person in me
  That lived for love and adventure
Musician - Poet and Teacher
  Pilgrim and sometime Preacher
With a penchant for being stoned
    (and Loving it)

Looking hard - Trying profoundly to see
  Why that went away - And when
Find the day and date - And contemplate
  Get the answers down - And then
Take myself on back home
  'Cause right now I am feeling
Useless - Olde - and Extremely Alone
    (and I really miss my friends)

Wake up in a cold sweat
  In the dead of the night
Nothing but yourself and the Truth
  Nowhere to run - No way to fight
Not a Goddamned thing that you can do
  Except try to fall back into sleep
    (and wonder)

What happened to that person
  Living for love and adventure
Really need to find out - Where has he gone
  Get back into myself - Before it is too late
Pray and contemplate - And carry on ...

People will come into your life and
  Then abruptly they will go
On rare occasion they will stay awhile
  But you can never really know
Often it's a test of faith
  And all that you can do is
Put your heart on the chopping block
  And attempt to follow through ...

There is a purpose to everything
  Another lesson to be learned
It is not always pretty - Can bring you down
  Especially when you get burned
By those you have taught yourself to care about ...

When you love someone - You love them warts and all
  But you know that lies, deceit, and larceny
Always precede the fall
  Of things that could have mattered
But were just not meant to be
  Leave the spirit beaten down and tattered
Which is a temporary thing
  But out here - Temporary can be awhile ...

With that aside - Here's to Love - And living it
  To being hurt - and Forgiving it
To finding the Truth - and to Treasure it
  To the beautiful dawn of a brand new day
    Never Give Up

I like to take the time to contemplate
  To sit about and wonder
As I watch the lightning in the sky
  And listen to the sound of the thunder ...

Tirinking back on the good times
  About my family and true friends
How Love is spiritual and never dies
  Goes on Forever - Will never end ...

In those moments I can find
  The essence of my spirit and
Through the strength of the heart
  Have some peace of mind
There is a price we pay - Every day
  To keep from turning into cynics
All one can do is persevere - Until they find
  The lightning and the thunder
And the reason why ...

People play their silly games
  The children - They are caught right in between
Right and wrong - Good or bad
  Forced to choose - Is it Mom or Dad
For a child - Just hurts very deeply
  You know what I mean
Like putting the foot to a wounded animal
  Unforgivable - Makes you want to scream
As a Lion would roar at Winter ...

Never too young .that they do not remember
  And they carry these scars all of their lives
Why is it that no one ever contemplates this Truth
  Especially the husbands and wives
Who now are first and foremost - Mother and Father
  And still they argue and they threaten and they scream
Soon the innocent children are feeling that they are to blame
  And it messes up everything
Yet another child hurt - distrustful - and sad ...

Suffer the little children
  Allow - Provide - And Love
This is Wisdom - A pure and simple Truth
  Given from the Lord above ...
    Peace


Trapped - Between two realms of Existence
In the Middle
The primordial light of Infinity
And the black abyss of eternal Darkness
Where the Truth is self-realization
And it is the definition of Profound ...

Not a pretty thing by any means
Yet it has to be - For one to finally know
To see the brute simplicity of Cosmic things
Then to say goodbye - And let it go
To flow away on the river of Endless Times
You have...
