wonderful wonderful poem and reading... so many of these lines so touched my heart and mind.... i wanted to take them one by one over and over again.... the music was perfect. there is a miracle in every moment for those with eyes to see and this poem brings me to that place of wonder i had as a kid but is so easy to lose as we "grow up" and get so serious we forget to watch the bugs and butterflies in the garden. Thanks so much! You friend's poetry is an invitation to bliss.
The spirit pent up like water-dammed in does not just lie still but appears to wither--oh its illusion for how can Spirit truly die but it does seem to withdraw from us leaving us even more sleep-walking then many of us already are
Spirit allowed to flow freely- being who we are shines forth and like a candle lights others, no?
Security is an illussion, Getting out of our comfort zone is how we truly find our potentual. I am grey. some words people pay for arnt worth the money you pay for them. I still breath today and that is how it is. I have turned a river into a lake. Hahaha
Stunning. I offer my heartfelt praise to both author and reader. How can anyone attempt to freeze the infinite flow of our collective spirit?"
It seems to me that this is something the brain needs to do. I think we ( or perhaps only I because I am certainly guilty of this) feel that if we can just get everything squared away into neat little folders that somehow this constitutes getting ahead.
@ObaNarayanShivaji999 Friends I do not make easily as a friend is the person holding to rope when you fall off the cliff and never lets go no matter how tierd or painful it gets. But I like you :) your cool bother
@ObaNarayanShivaji999 I have a fgew that I used to add but stopped a few months ago and only communicate with two of them now and then, just a general choice :)
"do the generations of the past exist in one continuous moment"
intriguing thought. if all times are one, then maybe also all generations are one. Maybe it's only perception that makes the concept of time seem different.
That's a really positive view of change as well. Whether for better for worse, as long as it changes. I suppose life and the world could get very boring if everything remained the same all the time and there was nothing more left to learn or experience in the world.
man. you got more views than some of MY poems lol

And the only reason I've just noticed is because I am here answering this comment.
One never knows, I guess.
Anyway, I will continue to do as i do because that's how I do it, brother, and I don't even know how it happens, really, I just know that it does.
Thanks, hombre.
Great Poem, that.

Ah, but you just threw those dogmatic bundles into the trash bin.
So bravo to you.
It's not knowledge which is faulty.
It's what we many times do with it that is.
ObaNarayanShivaji999 1 year ago
Beautiful words from a beautiful soul, these are. Together with the spirit you bring to them, the effect is profound. Namaskaram to both of you.
I put Sevan's award-winning film on my profile- it bears a gift that moved me to tears!
