"I'm not so much of an enabler
as I am a reducer of inhibition."
Or so I try to be
and so I forget to be.
If you bother to seek,
you deserve to find.

The Universe knows this.
It's a divine property:

Use thy Mind,
thy divine property.
The only thing I find more enjoyable
than meeting outrageous expectations
is defying expectations outrageously.
I'd wish that 1984 and Brave New World were fiction.

Their laugh was your alarm,
You woke up to find yourself down.

Don't let your awakening be caught
In the circle of sleep and sentience again.

Live. In every moment. Don't close your eyes anymore.
Don't rest now. An uneasy siesta just isn't enough.

Saddle your dragon and fly to the limitless sky.
Breach your extremes and push through them.

Let your armor shine, let them know they forged it.
The pain they caused, it has welded with your skin.

When you arise from your trial,
*The next time they laugh, there won't be tears in your eyes.

How we treat Nature
Tells a lot about our nature

Here lies
her name in dust
She achieved
Love from Lust
She lays down
in a field of shame

then the grave marker
**ran out of dates
and forgot her name
In the
uphill
struggle
of a soul...

..if
I have ever done ill,
it is only because
I have been ill.
Wrote this on the inside of a book on Zen I own. Funny concept, in itself.
Little peeves me more
than seeing someone
who reminds me of me
doing something
unlike I would.

Then again,
little inspires me more
than things unlike me.
Allow neither success nor failure to undermine your attitude.
Be kind to unkind people;
you have your bad days too.
It is all
up to
our
discretion.

That is,
simultaneously,
our greatest gift
as well as
our greatest curse.
