|the power of the w o r d and the (art)|



to really learn
     your brain has to f l e x
you must be open
  to new ideas
and challenge
the authority
the majority
the status quo
     because seeing pattern
is an art
  an art that can has power anywhere
even to see the future
based on the words
and images
of the
now.
sometimes
we can see the possible picture
the emerging image
   each subtly,
seemingly obscure
things come together
for us
and we can see
from much farther away
than you.

and in those moments that we can see,
you should l i s t e n
  to what we say
l i s t e n to what we sing
l i s t e n to what we play
l o o k at what we show you.
        and begin

dreams of
turquoise
&
black
&
pink
a purple curtain
in the wind
green plants
yellow glow flames
drizzle
and thunder
and i guess this
is as good
a time as any
to be alive.

your life is only that.
your life.
you cannot own
or be owned.
not really.
and that is pretty much that.

i feel like
it is my default state
to genuinely like
every person
i meet.
and be in
a general harmony
with them.

but sometimes
i sabotage myself
by developing
a suspicion that
maybe someone
doesn’t like me.
from small cues.

then my
default state
gets hijacked
and suddenly
the harmony
is gone.

for just this moment
i think i could
stay here forever
and that would be ok

as long as there is music.
