Respect the Individual

Life is not a pyramid

You cannot measure the world by your standards
Only you can be measured by your standards

Every individual
Is different

Every unique
Has it's own standards

You can only measure them by their own


View the world as beyond the curtain of stone
That separates your inner sanctum from reality

Respect the Individual

TRUTH the Creator?

Can TRUTH which I has before been defined as God be capable of creation?

If it is not
Can it really be called God

If it is not God
God the individual, God the Creator, becomes the principle leap of faith

Am I,
Are you,

Prepared to make that leap

Classical Deity

The Classical Deity is one with power over creation.

The most powerful god therefore throughout time has been the one who creates.

When we progress to monotheism, the one true god becomes God the Creator.


Creation is a power reserved for God.


If we humans strive for new creation

Do we tread on God's power
Or do we merely make ourselves in His image

Trust

What is trust?

When we limit ourselves so that we must rely on one another
We build that trust

But what is trust?

When you break down barriers
When someone is open
When you are open

What is trust?

Is trust the same with friends
As it is with parents, with mentors?

What is trust?

Is it an ease of communication
The belief that the other will do no harm

What is trust?

The belief that no harm will come to you
From that openness

Rest in Peace

Confusion

My mind is clouded with uncertainties
It is simple to see what I want
But not so to see what best serves

My mind is clouded with uncertainties
What is "the best fit"
What is the closest match to
What I am looking for

My mind is clouded with uncertainties
How does one go about finding out
What I cannot find

My mind is clouded with uncertainties
As I am forced to keep my own counsel
As I am pressured to be confident in my own decisions
In my own choices

My mind is clouded with uncertainties
I need a touch of guidance
But there is no one there

My mind is clouded with uncertainties
I am confused

For you or for me

When all you need to do is think of others
It is easy to see the truth

When it for you
It is clear to me what is best

When it comes to myself

When it comes to myself

My mind is clouded with uncertainties

Back in the City

Text me

Lyrics; James Taylor: Steamroller

Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues

Well, I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, I'm a demolition derby (yeah)
A hefty hunk of steaming junk

Now, I'm a napalm bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Oh, guaranteed, just guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own (now)
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby
Got a bad case steamroller blues

I know if you're reading this this link doesn't matter to you

But i figured it would be a good link to have on call

A muse on loneliness

I am saddened
I am lonely

I have too many friends that need my attention
I have too many friends that don't know me
I have too many friends I can't contact
I have too many friends who are out of reach

I love where I am
But if I was home tomorrow
I wouldn't mind

I'd miss you all
And I'd see the rest

But I'm not


And maybe it would do me some good to cut myself off
To distance myself from you all
For just this week

For just this once
