It slips in at night. Stealthy and low at first.
A few flakes pick up speed as the first low howl can be heard.
Wind howls against the house, branches scratching at the window like a cat trying to get in.
Heavy wet snow can be heard plastering itself onto everything.
Lights flickering as if planning on going out.
Snow in the street lights, heavyweight thumping down trees.
Tree limbs crash down on wires, popping sounds and sparks as transformers are taken out.
Cities go dark as power is lost, houses grow cold as the furnaces die down.
Sleep finally wins out till mornings light awakes.
The storm does not abate.
Everything covered in white, an eerie and wonderful state.
Trees coated in snow, winds whipping the limbs around mimicking the haunting of ghosts.
Snow drifts piling high as others places scoured clear and clean.
The snow hammers down and will for hours more.
Smoke in the chimneys, stoking the wood stoves and fireplaces as homes warm back up relying on the old ways to stay warm.
As the storm slowly dies down the soldiers of winter shovels in hand begin to roust about, bringing some semblance of order back to the homestead again.
Kids in the yards warring with white ammunition as school was called off. Snow angels with Frosty dancing around the yard. Sleighing and yelling can be heard out in the fields.
Mom back at home prepares hot chocolate with marshmallow delights for all the frosty nose participants from this winters stormy night.
John Prophet Dec 2016
What is normal?
We live in a world where everything seems normal.
It's normal to have two eyes and one head.
It's normal to live on a ball floating in a limitless void.
It's normal to have two sexes for procreation.
It's normal for the sky to be blue and the grass to be green.
Everything we see seems normal to us.
But what else can we believe? We're custom made for the place.
How would we feel if we had six eyes and four feet?
How would we feel if the sky was pink and the grass was orange?
How would we feel if the world was flat and went on forever.
If born into this kind of universe we'd feel it's normal.
Normal is a relative term.
Question everything, because nothing is normal.

Thoughts
swimming
in my

Swimming
side to side.
Swimming
up and
down.
Swirling
all around.
Popping
in and out
of existence.
Coming

Thoughts pop
out of

out of the
ether.
Then,
returning back
whence
they came.
Thoughts

Ideas to
creations.
Everything man
makes came
from a thought,
came from

came from
from the ether,
came from
nothing.
Look around.
Everything

Everything

Earth is home for billions of us, we live on one planet, we all call it home.
None of us, however, live in the same world.
The worlds we live in are as varied
as the people that inhabit them.
Some live in heaven others call hell their home, many live in limbo made simply to roam.
No two worlds are exactly the same.
Some are healthy while others in pain.
Some are rich many are poor.
Some live in freedom others detained.
Some are happy while many are sad.
This planet has many worlds, none are the same.
Some are gregarious others simply plain.
Some are geniuse while others insane.
Each one with their own story to tell.
History is replete with such worlds, no two are the same.
John Prophet Dec 2016
What are we?
Why are we?
How do we?
It’s an infinite place and we so very small. We seem so very much apart. Do we even belong? How could we ever learn it all?
We look out, we look up, we look down and we look under. We feel so
very much cut away from it all. Why were we born? Seems to make no sense.
Trillions of points shining as far as the eye can see and far beyond. Information, so much information, more than we could possibly understand. Are we alone? Are we part of a larger family? Are we individuals or a cog in a larger family tree?
Step by step we try to build, we try to understand. So much to know and so little time.
Cannot do it alone, one mind simply not capable of knowing it all.
A collective mind are we. Building machines to store it all help us make sense. The further we go the more we need to know, the more we need to rearrange and organize. Piece by piece the puzzle is built.
Knowledge on top of knowledge is how the model shifts. Generation after generation the collective mind is built. We are not just cogs in the machine, but very much more. The piece of the puzzle we lay becomes part of a larger we. Those who were, are and to be are all very much a part of a larger whole. We are all in fact one with the Universe. Not alone, not apart, but woven into the fabric of space and time, part of a much larger we!

Splashes of green lined up row after row.
Limbs of green shooting skyward downward everywhere.
Vibrant light shades of newness this time every year,
each displaying its own quaint uniqueness. Explosions of color as Spring rolls around.
As the winds blow hot, green takes on a mature look.
Little orbs of green begin to appear, growing larger redder, same as last year.
Big red plumpness filled up by the rain.
Limbs droop and groan as the weight of the task made increasingly clear.

Warm winds give way to their northern brethren, blowing cooler and stronger.
Limbs pregnant with swollen redness moan waiting, wanting
to expel the burden, as it does every year.
Leaves darken, grow crunchy and float to the ground.
Redness has spread from sky to ground, as colder stronger winds begin to expound.

Straight lined scraggly row after row, hunched over old women worn down by the snow.
Limbs whipping in cold wind like witches hair,
gnarly bent fingers pointing, accusing everywhere.
Dark skies in control.

Old women waiting, waiting for warm winds to reappear to be once again made fruitful, as it was just last year.

All struck on a speck of a place, in a speck of time.
Our very evolution built on infitesimly small terrain.
All that we think, all of the great contributions like so many others, lost in the endlessness of nothingness.
All the great thinkers, all the time wasted on useless
pursuits, expounding on virtues of irrelevance.
Greatness not really great, or great on such an insignificant scale as to barely register. None of it worth anything.

What is truth?
We live our lives being told what is true.
Truths in science fall by the wayside when
new “truths” are discovered. But, how true are they?
Religions will tell you their truths.
Problem is, few agree. So how true can they be?
People will tell what is true but can they be trusted?
Society will tell its truths, but should you agree?
We are born into a world full of “truths”.
Truths laid down by others, many long dead.
Should we simply acquiesce, simply say yes to whatever we’re told?
The answer is no. Open your mind to all the possibilities.
Do not let others rubber stamp your beliefs.
Many snake oil salesmen will try to out fox.
Ask questions, think hard, don’t simply agree.
Think outside the box.

Where
are they?
The question
asked is.
The Fermi
Paradox.
Where are
they?
Where are
the others?
From other
stars.
Are we
alone?
Naive,
stupid
question!
Look around.
Animals on
this rock.
Slaughtering
millions.
Millions
of us.
Wars, murders
by the score.
Blood letting
on a  horrific
scale.
Murdering
each other
as easily
as falling
off a log.
Human nature.
We can’t
even see it.
It’s normalized.
It’s what
animals do.
Where are
they?
You’ve got
to be
kidding.
Why the
hell
would they
want to
deal with
us?
If we
slaughter
our own
with such
ease…..

Parallels.
Dimensions.
Creation
sophisticated.
More than
meets the
eye.
Causal
connection.
Side by

Realities,
dimensions
interconnected.
Excha­nging
information.
Creation,
many faceted.
Sparking

Moving parts,

One slice

No reaction.

Dimensions
congeal,
mix,

Concepts

take form.
Become
whole.
All component
interactions
required.
Mixing
dimensionally,
creating
w­hat’s seen.
Such is
creation.
Mysterious
it all be.

Parallel trees.
Those who
never were.
Generations,
family
genealogies
severed,
cut,
pruned
out of
existence.
Wars.
Famines.
Plagues.
Millions
die.
Many
generations,
millions
more never
born.
Severed
from time.
Never
born here.
Parallel
places
they reside.
Family

through.
Dimensionally
traveled.
Existing

realms.
All possibilities
play out.
Genealogies
propagating
on different
worlds,
different

Infinitely
interconnected.
Parallel
trees.
All that
could be,
have been.
Will be.
Strange,
strange
existence

Passage.
From
nothing
to something.
Everything.
Concepts.
Ideas.
Thoughts.
Corporeal.
Perc­olating

Realm of

All things

Formatting

Tapping

From

Passing
through.
One stop
along the
way.
No

No end.
Not one

Realm to

flow.
Resting,

Lessons

Moving

The trip

New

New

Countless

Unknown.

It vaporizes.
The past
just fades.
Fades
away, like
water when
a wave passes.
It’s remembered
or so
thought.
Memories
hold,
reinforce.
Yet, the
past
no longer
exists.
No longer
tangible.
It’s gone.
Like a wave,
once past
blends back.
What’s to
come,
wells up.
Welling up
from the
ether.
Energy creates
then fades,
reabsorbed.
Reabsorbed
back to
the ether,
as a wave
to water.
Back to
probability.
Back to
a different
place.
A place not
understood.
Back to the
origin of
things to
be recycled.
Recycled
either here
or there.
Reused by
creation.
John Prophet Feb 2022
Past.
Slips
away.
Fades to
memories.
Memories
die.
Vaporize.
Cease
to exist.
Riding
the nexus.
Future.
Mystery.
Unknown.
Falling
away,
by the
wayside.
Expendable.
Generations.
One
to the
next.
Energy
expended.
Propelling
brake neck
forward.
To what
end?
Where
to?
What
part was
played?
What
purpose
served?
Burning
through
existence,
to the
future
headed.
Charging
through
time.
****,
throttle
wide open.
Full speed.
Faster and
faster.
Hold
tight.
Dark
unknown
tunnel

John Prophet Dec 2016
Look in the mirror. What do you see? Depends on the choices you've made. Depends on your programming. Depends on where you were born. Depends on what you were born. Look in the mirror. What part will you play? A protagonist? An antagonist? What will you do with the time you have? How strong is your will? Look in the mirror. What will you do?
John Prophet May 2024
Pay grade.
Every
twitching
form
of life
has a
pay grade.
A level of
understanding
it can’t
go beyond.
From the
simple
to the
apex.
Each
has a
knowledge
sphere
beyond
which it
can’t
pass.
Knowledge
beyond
perception.
Paramecium
to ****
Sapiens.
Hard as
they might.
There’s a
limit.
A border
of capability.
Infinity
offers
infinite
knowledge.
On the
infinite
knowledge
scale.
Paramecium
to humans
offers little
separation,
difference.
