SIDEWAYS EIGHT PROJECTS

We reach for the stars and settle for cake. We live behind bars and die on the take. Our aspirations exceed our quiver of arrows, and our dreams supplant others’ expectations. We brag as we empty our wheelbarrows and put the rugs back without hesitations.

You may choose to call it toxic masculinity, or you may choose to call it the curse,

the constant struggle against supplanting divinity, and deciding in our minds which is worse.

On the idea that a substance is responsible for a creation of art: The fire has always been burning inside of me. The herb just gives it something to burn.

We compartmentalize our things on our desk, the things in our cars, and food in the fridge. We segment the days of our lives as well as our given gifts. We separate funds for bills, investments, and plans. Then we do all three with our innermost emotions, and no wonder so few understand.

When we see the aura of things and sentient beings, we cannot forget them for their seeing. The energy shifts, the heart lifts, the mind sifts, and it feels as if the universe has given us gifts. But, what to do with the new knowledge we have? How is it to be used before climbing into the grave? Are the cries for help in the colors asking us to save? We open to existence to the degree that we want to be blessed.

With so much emphasis placed on instant gratification, being noticed, standing out, and things being given more weight and value than sentient beings, I intend to be counter culture. I hope to focus on long term gratification, blending in, embracing the glory of being ordinary, and always valuing people and animals more than things.
