Let the Lover Be



'Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absentminded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.'

The Point - Coming Soon.

The Point

Will there come a point 
where I stop and I point at the point
being made
feel so cold in the shade
a lot of people left when I wished they had stayed
so i don’t anymore 
maybe not again, we dont know whats in store 
and we just might, u think its coming from the left -comes from the right 
open your door
let it flow through. 
like notes on a score
like the waves in a shore 
be sure
let it roll through, 
be strong 
in your core. 
make it a place u know u can go to - to restore. 
your self, your soul, your mind.
 and I have to remind myself of this all of the time 
and that doesn’t exist- maybe its gravity lost in the mist
power isn’t real - yet there brainwashing nations
humans were made to be gracious, 
the heart looks like a hand shaped like a fist 
confusion lies at the top of the list its outrageous 
dont insist 
because we feel it 
feel the agony of all of the humans - its real 
Iet me peel it
like an onion, with layers of truth 
brings tears to my eyes - a career in the booth 
society lies but you see not to choose 
you sure see all the ties and the shoes
we protect our loved ones 
dnt want the ego to get bruised
we know the rule
if u snooze u lose.  
its an image, a thumbnail for a person 
no dialogue is possible its certain    

In this song I was trying to convey a one way conversation. Usually something we have to go through all the time in our era, singular monologue’s directed and thrown at each other with no real aim. People don’t really share - thus really use their ability to ‘ talk’ effectively. Everyone is connected (addicted) to their forms of technology and has snippets and thumbnails for lives instead of really being in contact and really knowing and being there for others. For themselves. Living and experiencing together rather than through their phones and computer screens. Oh Digital age. My thoughts - formed - in a song - to a person (any person) who has to endure the motion of listening to it. The tone of my voice keeps changing, the tone.. and the melody. So when u want to stop listening, its supposed to zone you out so u can’t, then before u know it its over. Abruptly. Thus is life.

Pure Spirit


Hello sweet world... 

How goes it?

I've woke up today in a daze. A feeling, a state of being I can't put my finger on. Do I feel extremely grateful / appreciative of my surroundings and my understanding.. so much so I just don't know what to do with myself? It's a beautiful feeling. A powerful feeling. Let's be clear on the definition of the word 'power' here and the context I'd like to use it in.. Power isn't about manipulation or control its about strength. Conviction. Meaning. 

I use it carefully. 

“I know that I am pure spirit, that I always have been,
and that I always will be.  There is inside me a place of
confidence and quietness and security where all things
are known and understood.  This is the Universal Mind,
God, of which I am a part and which responds to me as I
ask of it.  This universal mind knows the answer to all of
my problems, and even now the answers are speeding
their way to me.  I needn’t struggle for them; I needn’t
worry or strive for them.  When the time comes, the
answers will be there.  I give my problems to the great mind
of God; I let go of them, confident that the correct answers
will return to me when they are needed.  Through the
great law of attraction, everything in life that I need
for my work and fulfillment will come to me.  It is not
necessary that I strain about this, only believe.  For in
the strength of my belief, my faith will make it so.  I
see the hand of divine intelligence all about me, in
the flower, the tree, the brook, the meadow.  I know that
the intelligence that created all these things is in me and
around me and that I can call upon it for my slightest
need.  I know that my body is a manifestation of pure
spirit and that spirit is perfect; therefore my body is
perfect also.  I enjoy life, for each day brings a constant
demonstration of the power and wonder of the universe and
myself.  I am confident.  I am serene.  I am sure.  No matter
what obstacle or undesirable circumstance crosses my
path, I refuse to accept it, for it is nothing but illusion.
There can be no obstacle or undesirable circumstance to
the mind of God, which is in me, and around me, and
serves me now.”
