pendulum

I am waiting for the right time
I always believe it to be near
then find something to dissuade me
Back and forth
Back and forth
A pendulum swinging in my mind
So I watch and wait
for the right time
Is this pure folly
Some might say
to wait for the right time
is to wait forever
Where will action
take me
Far from here
or so I think
or so I think

This Moment Is Now

The present is the present Do not forget this
This now is the moment you have always
waited for What happens now is up to you
Create the life you want but be patient and
put in the work to make it so Do not let your
self be blinded by habit and by your own
bad habits To change them is to find the new
way forward Forward is always right in front
of us We must be bold Boldness can often be
the smallest of actions and changes that can
frighten us into inaction If all else fails take a
moment to breathe In Out In Out Close your
eyes Steady your heart and mind Let yourself
become the now These moments are eternal
This present is always now See through the
trappings we have accepted blindly and move
past them Shed the unnecessary Let light into
the dark places of the soul This is not easy
This is uncomfortable Feel the warmth of the
sun Feel the wind on your skin and through
your hair Let life touch your body Let it send
a shiver up your back and onto the back of
your head Open your eyes and breathe in the
air It is here It is now The future is always
coming The past is unchanging This day
is what matters What matters is this day and
what we do with it and ourselves

Late Night Thoughts, Page 2 5/5//17

Memory filters back at it's own pace. How it surfaces
faces and times from the past. What lesson must be
taken and learned? Those answers are at hand  if one
is willing to delve just beyond the surface of image and
memory. Joy and failure, the twin poles of life.

What is the truth of life I have been seeking? It had no
single answer. Many answers for the same question,
each fitting for a time and place. There is truth and
wisdom in this world if we are willing to seek and
accept it. This burning desire to understand the unknown
of the world and of ourselves. A thirsty spirit is always
seeking. Let us drink of this world.

Words are given more freely than wind. Action is a diamond
to be desired. The value of thought and contemplation.

Am I searching for God? Am I searching for enlightenment?
Am I searching for a better way to be human? Must the
answer be yes? Of course, it must. I am searching within
and in this world. I have to seek. I must seek. Suddenly
I remember staying at my grandparents home, watching
the sun set over the town of my fathers. Colors swirling
and melting until black streaks across the canvas.

Mantra from the Track

Unify in words, 
thoughts, 
and actions.
Make the change.
Make the change.
Make the change. 

The things you say
The things you do

The Great Restlessness

Restlessness moves through me
  Impels me to stand
                   to walk
Restlessness reminds me
          of irreversible time
                    A river moving
                    forward unable
                    to be still
Able to take us
                    to sights
                    unseen

Words become action
become truth
become history

If words are all we have 
we must give those away as well.

Honest

I never said I was

Brave but I pray 

Every day when

The moment comes

To act I will 

Be by your side

RE: Death

All life exists in the shadow of death
but we cannot let our lives be defined
solely by this. We must live and act 
according to our own nature and live
as boldly as possible.

It is possible to speak without a tongue

Oftentimes those words carry the deepest meaning

That is impossible to ignore or forget

This life spent
Standing in waiting.

Oh, Sea of Longing

You must be crossed

For hope to become action

Carve out the boredom from my heart

Turn this inert life

                              into action

A Call to Action

I am Here 

and it is

               Now.


This is the only fact

that matters.


You are Here

and it is

              Now.

Act.

The steps we take determine the destination.

The gesture is the weight.

The Importance of Action

Inspiration 

without action

is useless.
