"individualize" poems
A treacherous journey one embarks on to heal,
With unexpected turns in the path it is not linear,
Through adversities there will be triumphs,
In hardship you will prevail,
Keep going in the direction the universe has set for you,
Keep growing at the pace that is right for you,
Individualize your experience and embrace your process,
You are deserving of the kindness bolstering within.

Here's an idea for you
How about we don't preach about racism and how it is "disgusting" but then purposely mock and individualize other cultures and ethnicities.
How about we don't call each over **** and use "gay" as an injurious term and then claim we are not homophobic and only use it as a "joke"
Because when you go against your own fraudulent values you become much worse then the specific group you are "accidentally" discriminating.

There are two philosophical terms
that come from Zen and Japanese Ceramics:
**Wabi,
and
Sabi.**
'Wabi' refers to the flaws of a thing that give it the character it has;
the distinctive feature that makes it what it is.
It could be asymmetry, it could be a crack formed during the creation process.
It could be the thing made by your kid in art class, or by you, even;
those things are crammed with Wabi.
Wabi: Flaws created that individualize, identify and make possible sentimental attachment.
'Sabi' refers to the effects of Time on a thing, showing it's age;
the erosion and change that are inexorable through Time.
It could be the landscape of a foreign planet, or the holes in your jeans.
It could be your tattoos, scars, or psychology.
It could be the scratches on your truck, or the rusting paint you think looks cool.
Sabi: Flaws resulting from being so lucky as to survive long enough to endure things.
Both wabi and sabi lend to a thing Character.
They provide a foundation for relation as well as identity.
They are matters of perspective and thus are subjective.
A perfectionist denies the existence of these,
A romantic says they are all that there is.
As One becomes more open to these notions,
everything becomes a thousand-fold more beautiful.

Oh,
how conflicted is the soul
of a poet,
for we yearn for nothing more
than to share the deepest depths,
our nakedness and rawness in
the beautifully
tragic love we feel,
but how much do we
try to individualize
that that lies inside, to make ourselves
stand out, for we
experience the world in sensory means
beyond the normal comprehension
of those around us;
how badly we wish for our
word choice and alliteration
to breathe life into the persons
who never hopefully
comprehend our creativity,
for we are arrogant in our
supernatural secret-keeping,
in our mind games and
manipulation.
Oh, how I bless my soul,
a poet lost
deep in the depths of my own
emotion,
of my never-waivering devotion,
to being the most uniquely recognized
and desperately bittersweet
wide-eyed doe
that ever did aggressively
permit the world
to melt so fervently into a home
within her.

You see
ALEPH HAY YOD HAY
becomes
YOD HAY VOV HAY
-------
This is the whole of it
The
KABBALA
The
BIBLE
------------
In numerical language
ONE FIVE TEN FIVE
becomes
TEN FIVE SIX FIVE
-----------
What this is describing is how our consciousnesses
Come and intermingle and exchange all information
And seperate and individualize themselves
Unto certain limits imposed by the necessity of overall unity
And the need for operational harmony
--
This is the Seed from which creation springs
The details of which are myriad and fascinating
--
All that needs be known IS KNOWN
As is the nature of the power
That keeps the truth hidden
All that is needed is YOUR DESIRE to understand
Thank you

Sing, sing, sing
Come here and sing,
Vocalize,
Internalize,
Individualize,
In the center you are,
Truly a star,
You may be bad or good,
It's just all fine,
Be happy,
Be confident,
Never,
Be,
Sad,
Sing, sing, sing
Don't be shy,
Come here and sing,
Sing, sing, sing
Mark it on your head,
Be amused,
Amazed,
Never,
Be,
Convoluted,
Stay happy,
Make others happy,
Then everybody would be happy,
Because to,
Sing, sing, sing,
Is to be,
Happy, happy, happy.

The feelings of love are so wonderful
But when the newness fades away, does the romancing stop
Do the word "I love you" still have their true meaning
Do the looks of passion change to looks of disparity
Do the words "let's do something together' mean go on you own
Things do seem to be comfortable, but if you do not show real love
Sometimes things happen, sometimes
Interest in another for something different, from the lack of feelings
Your lives become separated and you individualize, yet still together
Time passes, your just another face in the room, a hello and a good bye
Just some thoughts, I let so many go and one that was very special
I do ponder at times about past loves, would I do anything different
Probably not then, but maybe now?

imagine how boring of a world it would be if there were no problems
we would have nothing to work forward to
imagine how terrible that would be
we all have our problems and that's what keeps us motivated
like we are all sitting in this circle trying to pretend that we have no problems
when that seriously is not the case
we all have our issues and our problems
and that's what helps us individualize ourselves a little bit
those issues are what drive us to overcome these obstacles
so why are we trying to pretend like we are perfect

give you my word
——————
***‘tis but one, all you’ll ever receive,
not more than that, ‘tis all you’ll need
not one of the usual suspects,
not love or truth, beyond care,
neither joy and tears suffice,
certain it’s not suffering, even living
all those come to an end, ultimately,
and the word I surrender to you,
for pore absorption is unending,
unlimited, no horizon or sunsetting
the one thing that extends hope,
though that is not it either,
the one thing we will individualize,
agree to disagree amicably
the word?
why it is one we greet the day,
even if unthought or left unsaid,
our own shared secret chord,
the word I give you, and you to me, is
the very, the blessed unrationed reason,
the why and the wherefore,
to exist!***
