Thinking

Thinking
I have thought til I swam
In the rivers that ran
From the mirrors that we peer from
Washed away in the flood
Pouring forth from the engine
That ticks beneath the shell
It's rhythm reminds
That even through the blur
That there is still me
I find solice in the rhythm
Knowing that from it comes all
It holds the key
Since then, I have ceased to think
I now listen to that rhythm
and feel...

Yay! I am updating!

Well, once again, a long lapse in updates, but you know... that' how I am. This time of year really gets me on the reflecting kick... November and December has always been months that affect me. My dad passing away in November many, many moons ago and the holdiays in general... I ponder a lot... The world seems to be getting mroe and more out of control. Everything is getting bigger and more impersonal. true interaction is fading and we are turing into a world of people with their heads in a vacuum - ipods in our ears, cell p[hones, or both. The feeling of detachment from the masses is getting strnoger and stronger and this time of year it seem to build even more. I am really trying to focus on the things close to the heart; the things that really matter. I was standing in line today at Wally World and looking around and I felt like it was such a waste. There was no life. It was lots and lots of people going through the motions and no one really seeing anyone else. It seemed... shoot, I lost the word... ... hmmm, well, it seemed liek such a waste - meaningless and trivial. The lack of connection with and between everyone was non-existant. I want more than that for myself, my family and my friends. We all need ot take the time to look, listen and acknowledge the world around us. Don't jsut go through the motions... LIVE! Dammit! There is so much to cherrrish out there, so much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to if we all stop and take a moment to really look and see it. A line came while driving shortly after leaving Wally World "Our eyes are all open, yet we are all fast asleep..."
This holiday, be thankful, see beauty, love, live, share, see and believe.
Sorry, I am drawing a blank today on the words... maybe later... time to go make some dinner :)
I wish the world love, happiness and the ability to understand - onesself and one anohter.
Til the next time...
PL&P~
