Is life all or nothing,And full of high stakes?Or is to think in this way,A massive mistake? What if we’re all,Running in circles,Chasing our tails,Stuck in reversal? In the words of the joker,“Why be so serious?”I know he’s the villain,But his question is curious. Does it make sense,To keep upping the ante.To keep dedicating our …
From where do I come?Does anyone know?Those quick to answer,Should try thinking slow. Humans have asked,For 1000s of years.And 1000s years later,We’re not any nearer. No answer resolves,The mystery of life,The mystery of being,The mystery of time. Why are we stuck,In just three dimensions?Why wasn’t it two,And why just five senses? We know that there’s …
We’ve come a long way,From just sticks and stones.Now we can decimate,Without leaving home. Drones rule the skies,Releasing depletion,Crushing opposition.Is it violence we’re teaching? Imagine the terror,As you look overhead.Explosions and tremors,Not to mention the dead. I’m told that it’s noble,We fight only evil.But civilian casualties,Are a big deal. What would you do,If your mother …
What do you choose?It’s up to you.There’s so many options,Open to pursue. You could be this,Or you could be that.Or better yet,Try all the hats. Don’t lock yourself up,With what you decide.If your tired of walls,Just go outside. Try something new.Worst case scenario?You may not like it,So repoint your arrow. Life’s full of choices,We get …
There was a man, As sure as can be.There was never a man,More surer than he. The man was up high,On the top of a building.In his own mind,He himself has no ceiling. In front of this man,Stood a long balance beam.A big part of life,Is self-trust as a theme. His confidence rises,When confronted by …
“I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.” Jon …
Many are at ease,Satisfied with their height.When it comes to me?Growing’s on my mind. I want to get better,Learn and improve.Improving’s important,Important to do. There’s so many ways,We can expand.Books, classes, video,In the palm of your hand. So what’s your excuse?Not enough time?Take 20 minutes a day,And learn on a dime. Growth is a process,It’s …
I look in the mirror,It’s plain as can be.Staring back is a puzzle,The mystery of me. What is the self? A clever illusion?Scholarly debates,Result in confusion. Matter is real,All that there is.Spirit is false,The imagination of kids. Focus on facts,What’s measured and solid.But facts can be changed,Rewritten and squandered! If Spirit is false,Then what is …
How you spend your time is your life and your life is worth a lot. So be mindful in how you spend your time.
Often we’re fixed,Frozen in place.To get somewhere new,Give all you can take. Often we’re static,We don’t try to move.But moving’s a choice,Put on running shoes! We’re often paraded,With noise and opinions.But noise is distracting,Whether taken or given. We’re often confused,Lost in what to do.Know each life is different,Unique just like you. Life is a journey, …
