( song )*

There is a sun,
Brighter than your face shining.
There is a sky,
Deeper than your blue eyes.
There is a Moon,
Lights up the day that's dying,

Chorus:
What would you say—
If I should leave you crying?
What would you say—
If I should leave?
Should I leave you crying?

There is a cloud,
Why must you be so proud, my dream?
There is a sea,
Why must it be we're drowning?
There is a place,
Where we can be, both towering,

Chorus:
What would you say— If I should leave you?
There is a light— Why won't you see?

There is a dream,
If you believe as I do.
There is a way,
To keep the Sun behind you.
There is a love,
Truer than light that binds you,

What would you say?
There is a light that finds you,
There is a light that finds you.
The issue with the Ego isn't the Ego itself:
like many other aspects of sentient Life,
Intention and Willpower navigate a Vessel
whither it may will to be- consciously or no!


True Wisdom is subtle: implicit
in every single last one of the ten-thousand things.

Incidentally, such subtlety nests grave danger:
such capacity to be overlooked or ignored-
manipulated, extorted, distorted;
abused, neglected: abandoned.
Antagonized.

Beware. Tread lightly.
Please think and act with utmost care.

Be as Tao; as the rest.
Non-seek Zen mind.

Everything is precisely as it must be,
with exception of Human mentality.

Follow your Heart, but utilize thy Brain.
Find a purpose and learn from the pain.
Through just struggle does One justly gain.
By Empathy, could we all do just the same?

Let's just try it and see, shall we?
The Force takes care of it's own.

Thank you for reading.
Blessings upon thy Path.

"The ten-thousand things" is an ancient Chinese expression for "Everything" or "all of the Universe;"
the physical, material aspect of the Tao,
also known as Te, or matter to modern Science.

Wisdom is implicit in all things.
-
"Yeah, it's among the ten-thousand things.
Embrace it as such and get over it."
'How not to'
preceeds
'How to'
preceeds
'How about both?'
Importance is what is important,
not the specific thing that is said to be important.

That's all part of the riddle; a part of the secret.
One mussn't divulge too much, however,
lest it be necessarily stopped
in preservation of the 'predestined' natural progression of things.

Read 'twixt the very fabric of reality, itself.

Wisdom dwells in the subtle, not necessarily the explicit.
Almost untitled. ;)
To need to write books is great;
to need but one line is greater!
To be willing to break that line-
to disregard it and to cross it:
that is a certian kind of courage.

If you can't be creative with it,
it isn't worth pursuing.

If you can't help but be creative with it,
it is inescapable; seems 'tis thy fate;
so you might as well embrace it
and face it
and overcome it
and incorporate it
so that you can healthily and constructively
express it.
What if it was titled 'untitled?'
What if the title is irrelevant to the message?
What if it is relevant? Would the meaning change?

Observe that dialogue, should ye find one.
Therein lies the Self.

Little wings flutter
Morning starts with eyes smiling
Birdbath needs filling
Seán Mac Falls Mar 2015
Waiting to face peace
House much older than myself
Weathered grains in wood
Do as ye do because thou loveth it,
and compete foremost with thyself.

Should ye happen to best many others:
Great. Good for thee. Consider teaching.

If ye happen to be worse than others:
Keep yer chin up. Seek to learn from it.

Become neither hubristic nor discouraged!
Hark! I shall be waiting at the finish line!
