User ID: 72415808 United States 05/10/2022 03:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Breezes of Life Clever ideas spawned of evolving imagination Bring to light a seed of what lives in us all. Kiss the thought that brings you fascination. Breathe deeply then quietly listen for the call. If nothing springs to life just patiently wait, You cannot rush the river that runs through you. There are times when only results can satiate, But often the rain must follow the sky of blue. Even though I am just a wispy vaporous cloud Blown by the breezes that play life's tune, The things I’ve accomplished make me proud So I may smile as the summer brings June. I've always kept the promise I made to myself To be the same each and every day of my life Not forgetting to take moderation off the shelf And diligently use it to chase away strife. I wish I had words of wisdom to give away, Saving the delusions of my dreams on display. Alas they are as leaves on the trees in sway, Torn away by the breezes from life’s play. A Slow Deep Breath Take a slow deep breath and never forget. There is a reason for such a simple act. Hidden in necessity lies a precious jewel Darkness abounds by which it is beset. It is not as easy as it might first appear To learn a lesson that seems is so obvious We are by our very nature forced to comply With an action that we should hold dear. Certainly it is our slumber that holds a clue Another law to which we are subjugated And yet a taste of honey is not as sweet As its reward we seek when it is overdue. Perhaps you understand these are shadows Indirect light to describe something more Do you pass the open doors in your mind? Seeking instead a view of worldly windows? The greatest wealth which you can possess Is something no one can take from you. Behind an open door you've passed by Lies an illuminated path to your success. Not the success defined in a worldly term But a delicate mist evaporated in the heat. Find your inner contentment and it shall return Slow deep breaths against the worldly germ. Endure Simple words cannot explain When sadness pours like rain, No melody or meaningful refrain Just a cold miserable pain. Darkness against a street lamp’s light Attacks like fog in a mysterious fight Seeking to render an indefensible plight Slowly, silently stealing soulful sight. Can you imagine such a dreadful thing? To strike the bell and hear no ring To wish for flight and find no wing Or dream of song and be unable to sing. Cling to the hope of the rising sun Entreating the mist to fade and run With faith disarm depressions gun Love shall endure till the battle is won. Until The Very End This is for each of you here that have looked within And seen the image of who you really are. Wisdom from self-awareness is where you begin To see the Truth of our existence from afar. Though self-reliance conjures thoughts of strength, Independence is the struggle of a lonely heart. Every day of separation shortens life’s length And whispers a plea for your search to start. You cannot see everything through a window of glass, Neither to the eyes of your heart are all things revealed. Not all the visions we wish for are allowed to pass. Some things must be seen through faith if concealed. The meaning of some words are written between the lines And it is up to our wisdom to understand and discern. Deep inside you know you are allowed to view the signs But the truth lies hidden beneath the weight of concern. For those so entangled in the intensity of youth Know that many paths will be laid out for your choosing Do not look so hard that you are blinded to the truth Even though traveled souls know it can be very confusing. I certainly am not so wise that I cannot yet learn Though I may struggle and reach the mountain’s peak Clouds below may still obscure the answers for which I yearn, But patience will prevail to show me the answers I seek. Do not forget that times of darkness are sure to fall, They are as natural as the rain that cleans the air. Even though your fears may drown the voice you hear call The dawn will still come and lift you from despair. Remember all the things you've learned in this life, Keep them close, as they are the jewels of your discovery. Share their beauty with those plagued with strife And they too may benefit and find the path to recovery. Everyday search your mind for thoughts that help your soul ascend Do not cling so tightly to the physical world around you Lest it bind you in shackles that you cannot transcend So when you pass from this Earth you'll already know what's true. Words as these have been written a million times Yet still sing like chimes in the wind. To search for meaning in every word that rhymes, Will please my soul until the very end. Everlasting and Unlimited We are everlasting and unlimited, unbound from the frailty of this dominion. Release yourself from desire, free yourself of greed. Then will you find your mind prepared to continue the journey you were meant to take. Contentment is a state devoid of fear, a place of peace, a mirror of reflection to see the truth. Collect the memories of all that you are and then study them well to see the path upon which you travel. Contemplate the direction on which your journey takes you. If you derive calm contentment then you have done well. Question Your Reality Disaster strikes. Two families of five survive. Only enough food for 5 until help might arrive. Who lives, who dies? Is it noble for all to share and all to die? Should the oldest ones sacrifice themselves so the young will live? Should the two families fight so only the strongest survive? Many speak of wars, of freedom, of patriotism. What shall you protect? Your dignity? Your home? Your family? Your money? Can you see beyond your mortality? Have you the eyes to see beyond the abyss? Where does your future really lie? Continue on your journey and seek peace for your soul because your body here will not last. When someone buys a new car they pamper it until the newness wears off. Then realize it has a purpose for a relatively short time. It is enjoyed and used until exhausted, then retired. But the images and memories live on. Truth is the way things actually are in the absence of human consciousness. Not the individual reality that is created in our minds. If, when you close your eyes for the last time and you realize you no longer need them Then you will understand what I mean. Many people may consider our collective consciousness to be the definition of any and all existence. For them their reality is the only illusion of truth they will ever know. Many will blindly walk the path merely by realizing when their feet stray into the grass. This so they may correct for their misdirection. You must gaze into the distance to truly find your way. The Heroes We Seek Everybody seems to need one. We make their quest our own Then we cheer them on to Victory As they far out shine the Sun. They are the Gods of our admiration For they fly where we dare not. They soar as Eagles above our heads While we wallow in fruitless temptation. We dream that we could really be The way we think they are. We shower them with wealth and fame As if commanded by royal decree. Though life is sometimes bleak And tossed on a stormy sea The answer is really quite simple You should be the hero you seek. Have we lost our way? It´s clear in my mind. The question really is What have you to say? Freedom Freedom is an uncompromised state of being, residing in the heart and soul of sentience. It is an independent collection of like mindedness, which includes robust moral character and perpetual determination. Freedom can be no more or less than the quantity of energy through which it is continually pursued. It cannot exist in the absence of individual effort or interpersonal compromise and consideration. Freedom is not a direct equivalent of free, nothing is perfectly free. Its genesis is in the gradient of extremes found in the human condition. Its true substantive nature is relative to the surrounding environment of constraining factors. Its character is both ferocious and docile and its concept is fundamental to the philosophical state of consciousness. The Road Many a winding path must one follow to find the road. Many a tear must one shed to find the joy. Many a lie must one hear to find the truth. Quite a few spend their entire life Walking a bewildering path, Shedding an ocean of tears And listening to useless lies. May you be quick to find The road, The joy And the truth. Ominous regressions One Truth... many realities |

WHat would they be? 1. Invest in yourself - learning, skills, experiences. 2. Travel the world - get out and experience as much of the world with a backpack for as long as possible. 3. Don’t worry about things you can not change 4. Don’t be afraid of failure. God is real, read everything you can about it. Every religious book on facts of origin. The Kingdom of heaven is real and not a place where dead people go. Only the living can enter The Kingdom of Heaven and the way in is inside of you, locked by seven seals! |

Thou Shalt not kill seems not to apply to Governmental Authorities. If we were really free none of us would stay on this planet. I was born to give a message that the human race is suffering from a loss in consciousness and amnesia, but I forgot. The Greeks don't want no freaks! -The Eagles. I said have a nice day.

Pay attention to your elders and actually LISTEN to them; there is usually deeper meaning behind those boring stories. Life's a journey--pack with care. |

Every problem you face is an opportunity to distill knowledge through practical experience into wisdom. Everything is integrated in the becoming and passing and becoming again. Nothing of the material is of everlasting value. Wisdom is of everlasting value. |

BY RUDYARD KIPLING (‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies) If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! n/a |

Buy one really good older car or truck and keep it forever. Maintain it. Don't buy vehicles without ac or 4wd. Learn a trade. Electrician...plumber...mechanic. Don't waste time on college philosophy or business courses. Read books to teach myself a trade. You don't need college for that. Learn to weld. Go to pull and save and disassemble cars to see how it comes apart. Tear apart appliances to see how they work. Learn a foreign language. Don't buy a house. Rent a cheap place and invest. Learn how a voltmeter works. Learn how computers work. Not programming. |

I'm thinking back now to all the passes I missed or chickened out on. Now I'm old I wish I'd gone for it. Other than that, I regret working as much as I did, especially overtime as it was pointless and I wish I'd been able to work for myself, but I was stupid and had a dysfunctional family with no one to advise me. I probably would also have traveled more if I could, took more risks. I played it too safe. Old age sucks, LOL. |
