SIDEWAYS EIGHT PROJECTS

I’ve heard it rhythmically sung, as if the note hung forever on the tongue, ‘we better accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative’, but what if everything feels like it’s caving in to a storm cloud that rains on the grand parade? What if circumstances and experiences have taught one to be devastated and afraid? What if, as a country, we’re simply sleeping in the bed we’ve made, and the most intuitive among us do not wish to maintain their stay?

Within the realm of sacred spaces, let your own heart be the inner sanctum and your own soul be the worship hall. Light candles for passers by to notice that they will be welcomed and loved rather than judged and ridiculed.

When you’re awake during the witching hour, you may as well focus on the positive that responds to the world as is.

May you capture the glimpses at divinity within the deepest recesses of your heart. May you absorb all of the kindness this world still has to offer in your eyes for others to see. May I do the same, alongside you, for all the progress that is made.

Happy Friday everyone! Just to clarify, this message isn’t vaguely intended for anyone but myself as an individual. I need these reminders, and it makes me happy when my stuff resonates with others who also struggle every single day just to get through the day. It is my goal as both a poet and a photographer to help with the horrific mental health situation in this country, including my own. Thank you for reading and or sharing my stuff. Love to all involved.

Where have you been residing my entire life? Why have I only found you now? The residence heretofore has been limited to strife. The dwelling at present is expanded to wow.

I’ve realized two issues that I have had to grapple with consistently in life. One is issues with timing, and the other is issues with expectation. True change for the better in my own life will not occur on my personally desired timeline. It will occur on the desired timeline of the great spirit I choose to revere as God. The more I simply am able to let go of my own timeline, according to my own individual agenda, the more I am able to participate in the overall flow of the universe in its unfolding as it should. Secondly, the vast majority of woundedness, betrayal, disappointment, sadness, and anger that I have experienced has been due to my own unreasonable or inadequate expectation. People show me their true colors. Situations reveal themselves in advance to those who are truly tuned in. This world can be a chaotic mess at times, but I can aid that process (and my responses to it) by being extremely mindful of the timing of the world and its agenda. This too shall pass as they say, and when it does, I shall have my writings as personal totems to remind me of the path on which I am supposed to be.
