You are what you are you are what you make yourself. and now oh, i'm so intense oh, you're so serene oh you're so convinced that i'm oh so wrong you knew all along just what's right with me well, get this: that's some shit. i don't know what you think about me or this life or these choices we make but get this. this is it. this is one shot you got and i'm watching you blowing it. well maybe one day this will all make some sense you'll be thinking the same but looking so different the lies that you've been beaten with by the life that you hold so dear to your side will finally break and rain down on you and i could be there, to pull you through. well maybe, sweet child, your mind is like mine, and you hate what you see in me, yet feel it inside. and maybe, sweet baby, i'm a little too dark for you right now because you've ripped apart this "self" from your self, and you hold it up high, and you look at me, knowing, and you smile, and die. and maybe you might comprehend these letters, these verses i send and maybe one day you'll see that i know what you need and i need you to see and maybe you might understand that this whole thing is rigged, there IS a master plan but it's not what you think, it's not rigged by the gods it's nature, it's omens, it's risks, and it works. and maybe you might realize maybe that day will arrive where we'll live and forgive and forget but till then i'm just holding my breath. when i stand on the roof looking down through the fog at the people below on the street what i see? a reflection of something that i'll never be, in my mirror, in my head, there are thoughts that you'd think drive me crazy, instead, keep me whole, help me see that everyone's different, but you, and but me, and everyone cares and everyone fights and everyone drinks till they fall but i look in your eyes, and i see me, and then, i understand it all. and maybe you might realize maybe that day will arrive where we'll live and forgive and forget but till then i'm just holding my breath. 061018 ... unhinged basking in the glow the thought of you makes in my heart, fully present in the happiness you make in me, you are my newest meditation. 061019 ... Caroline 452 quoting Oliver Wndell Holmes (1809-18 Tic-tac! tic-tac! go the wheels of thought; our will cannot stop them; they cannot stop themselves; sleep cannot still them; madness only makes them go faster; death alone can break into the case, and, seizing the ever-swinging pendulum, which we call the heart, silence at last the clicking of the terrible escapement we have carried so long beneath our wrinkled foreheads . . . Will nobody block those wheels, uncouple the pinion, cut the string that holds those weights, blow up the infernal machine with gunpowder? . . . If anybody would only contrive some kind of lever that one could thrust in among the works of this horrid automaton and check them, or alter their rate of going, what would the world give for the discovery? 090515 ... hsg highest_eye 110816 ... unhinged 'in meditation practice you place your attention on the breath in mindfulness practice and when it strays into thought you notice that and let_go and come back to the breath. every time you notice and let_go and come back it's like flexing that muscle that enables you to return your attention to the present moment. so we practice doing that with the breath in meditation not so that we can become awesome breath followers but so that we can place our attention on our life which takes courage because we need to let_go of our judgements and hopes and fears and that's what meditation and mindfulness teach us to do: to let_go of those things which we use for protection and instead attend to what is happening right now. in my mind, there is nothing more courageous than that' - susan piver 170519 ... unhinged is how we draw god down 201104 what's it to you? who go blather from
