A Wound to Humanity

This isn't a video game, this is real life.

Unattached, we do not feel their wounds, or hear their cries, or see the damage that has been done.

Unattached and far away - the screen is like a video game, shielding our minds from the reality of the situation.

Somewhere a man in uniform is following orders,

mindlessly, he pushes a button, and the bomb is dropped on a civilian village.

"For the war on terror", he tells himself. Not realizing the terrorist is really himself.

Somewhere a single man is living in a mansion big enough for 50 + 3,

while a single mom is kicked out on the streets because she can't pay the bills.

Day after day the world watches as people suffer under occupation, or in the streets with out a place to rest their head.

"It's not my wound," the man said "It's a wound to humanity".

Sea of Eternity

The universe is an ocean

Waves of energy,

flowing,

shifting,

forever changing,

ripples and waves of intricate patterns,

bouncing off another pattern,

creating something new

in the sea of eternity

Secret Places

There is no one I will take to my secret places,

but myself, and my song.

The place where I love to love to be alone.

A place to blossom and grow with the trees and leaves, in silence.

A place where I know I will never fall in love with anything, but life itself.

Love is in the air

Love is all around.

I can feel it in the cool crisp air,

and the sun rays that that touch my skin so gently.

The sun illuminates the vibrant green trees,

and the birds chirp love.

And I am here,

to absorb,

to observe,

and to love.

NOT Proud to be American

I am NOT proud to be American. Why, you may ask.

Because all over the world people are killing in my name, dying in my name, suffering in my name.

They wear the uniforms, and the flags to prove,

and I just want to cry in shame, shout in shame:

No more killing!

We ALL just want to live.

This is why I'm not proud to live where I do. Lucky, yes. Extremely lucky to have the privilege. To be able to feel joyous, secure, and content, because all of my basic needs are met. I am able to draw, paint, sing, dance, walk in the forest, the simple things which make life so grand, that too many people don't have the opportunity to enjoy because they are too occupied living in fear and insecurities.

I'll never feel proud as long as someone is killing, and making people suffer - in the name of America, the place I live.

Going to public high school they teach you to be a patriot. To be proud. "We are the strongest, the best". I say because our military is the best and strongest, that makes it the worst! The most brutal and evil, and I will never be proud of that.

This is why I have no affiliation with nationality. This is why I see past the false divisions and boundaries. I will not play along with societies conditionings! I want to scream at the top of my lungs! But instead I vent in my journal, and my blog. I will then close my journal, or close my computer and continue my day in comfort, not having to think about all of the terrible injustices and destruction going on in the world. In places far away, that I am more connected to than I will ever realize. Or even places that are near.

"We have to fight over there, so we don't have to fight over here" - they say. Bullshit! Unless no one is over here, there is no need to be any where else, because... (this is the most top secret information the government doesn't want you to know!) PEACE IS POSSIBLE! Peace is what exists when there isn't war. And war doesn't need to happen!

Seriously, we are floating in space people! Do you have any idea what you're apart of???

War and hatred are a complete waste of energy, and it doesn't need to happen anymore starting NOW.

Things can change overnight, we simply need to stop doing what is wrong, and start doing what actually matters.

Peace.

From the heart, to humanity.

How can this monstrous society change?

Individuals make up society, so in order for society to change, we must change.

We must find a different way to look at life. To see living for what it really is!

Life isn't suppose to be miserable. Life is suppose to be marvelous, precious, beautiful. Everywhere you look on earth, in nature, it is pure outstanding beauty. All of the creatures and plants - beautiful. Human behavior - repulsive.

We live so illogically. Failing to see the connection to each other, and to the universe.

Why does the human species have to suffer any longer? We are creating our own suffering!

Living so egotistically and shallow.

Always trying to distract ourselves from our own sorrow, through entertainment.

Life does not have to be this way, and we need to change!

Will love change the world? How does one spread the love? A smile, vibrations, words? Is ones very existence able to radiate love and truth without words - simply being?

How do you show love, while at the same time expose people to the reality of our society?

Obviously we can't live in the delusion that everything is all right in the world, when it's not. We must see the way we are living as it is. And at the same time see life for what it is - a wonderful, beautiful, precious trip of consciousness. We are a very unique part of the universe.

Some would say the universe all ready has a plan laid out. My question to that is, if you are aware there needs to be change, don't you have a certain responsibility? I know sitting around waiting for change is just a delusion that too many people have. It's true that you only have control of your own being, you can't make anyone else change. Therefore you must really know yourself before you can spread this love and truth. "Find yourself first, and then your talent" Jimi Hendrix says. So perhaps, know yourself first, so the energy can flow.

I don't want to be caught, putting my energy in the wrong direction. I know the real revolution will not be brought about through any organization, or political change. The real revolution will happen in our minds. The real revolution, is the revolution of the psyche.

Eternity is real. Eternity is the universe, beyond life. And we are a living part of it.

Life is what it is

Every individual has their own idea of what life is.

Some live their lives so shallow, so narrow. As though running in one direction aimlessly.

Quick to go nowhere - the RUSH, and then you die.

We all die.

It is inevitable. This is life, and this is how it is, how it's suppose to be. The mathematically correct outcome.

Life and death are together. One. You can't have one without the other.

So why be afraid of what is life?

We are energy and matter flowing through time. living, breathing, on an astonishing sphere of matter.

We are the product of the universe. We are the universe's consciousness.

We are all of the beauty it contains because we are not separate from it.

Life is what it is.

and we must be alive every moment, without slipping back into the rut of mindless patterns.
