Creative Spirit

Creative Spirit is alive and well.

love the maker through and through

the spark is strong, the spark is true

living and beating inside of you

Peaceful vibrations moving on.

simple hearts beating strong

little mens chiming song

love and women sing along

“La La di la do re mi ra, mo da co nos ma li shantai moro cumba ya, lo mo cho row cuntai ya”

Thank you for this day to live

Thank you for this bread you give

Thank you for the songs we play 

Thank you for the thanks we say

The childredn watch the adults aloud

Inspired by their chanting proud

Peaceful movement soothess the cloud 

shadows linger cools the crowd.

Insecure

I go on facebook because I want attention.

I don’t feel loved.

I don’t feel accepted, and if I’m accepted I don’t feel accepted for what I want to be accepted for.

I want to be appreciated for my talents, not my falsehoods.

I want people to acknowledge what I’m really interested in, not with what I’m forcing myself to do.

I want people to know the real me! Not the image I put on because I’m stressed.

I want people to help me, find the happiness I seek.

I want people to give me credit for what I want credit for, for my great passions.

I want the likes on facebook to heal my wounds

I don’t know what to write and it makes me sad, scared.

I don’t know what I want to do with myself, so I eat to push the pain away.

I don’t know how I can give to the world so I run and force the feelings away

I don’t know how to approach the world so I scream inside to scare it away

I don’t know how to look at myself without feeling nervous others won’t approve, So I flex to shove it away

I put my self into situations to appeal to others because I don’t like being alone with myself

I run into adversity because I don’t believe success is something I can achieve

I want to suffer because I don’t feel I deserve to be happy

I want to cry because I don’t think theres anything left for me

I want to run away because I don’t know where to go

I want to hit myself because I don’t think I’m good enough

I want to find the truth because I don’t know where it is within me

I want to embrace God because I don’t know who I am.

I want to do all these things because sitting in silence is too hard for me.

I try to please other people, because I don’t think I can ever please myself

I try and give people what people want rather than giving people what I want to give.

I lose track of what I want to give and what I think others want me to give to them

I get confused because I don’t know if what I want is what I want because I really want it or because what I want is something others wanted me to want.

I get scared to think that I may never succeed in this life

I get worried because I have these big ideas but I don’t know how to utilize them

I get nervous because when I think of the passions, I don’t know how to share them with others

I want people to love me

I want to be admired

I want to be secure

I want to be happy

I want to be at peace

I want love

I want.

Propriety

1. The character or quality of being proper; especially, accordance with recognized usage, custom, or principles. 

Propriety in a society which values righteousness 

Is living properly free.

Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. - Confucius

Ignorance Within, Ignorance Without

Yesterday I went to Smoothie King

“So, I’d like a immune system smoothie please. I mean I want something to strengthen my gut and digestion, what would be best?”

The boy behind the counter responded “Well we have the Immune boosting smoothie which is great for that.” 

“Okay, I’ll try that,  but could I switch out some of the ingredients like the Raspberry Puree?”

“Yes, of course we could do that for you, what would you like to switch it for?” 

“Um....” 

He pointed down to the list of options, on the desk. 

“Oh yeah that makes it much easier. And do you have spinach?” 

“Yeah, we have kale.”

“So you have spinach?” I asked him a bit confused.

“Yeah, theres Kale in the smoothie.”

“No, but like do you have Spinach?”

“Kale’s a type of Spinach.” He responded.

I thought for a moment for it just didn’t seem right, I preferred spinach in my smoothies at home because of the taste, he then proceeded to show me the box of Kale. “I guess thats fine.” I said, looking at the kale, it was moistened and cooked, probably better tasting than the raw stuff I use at home. So I got my smoothie and it was great.

But I thought about him telling me that Kale was a type of Spinach. I went home and researched it finding he was wrong. Kale is in the cruciferous family, along with Cabbage, while Spinach is a shrub, part of the Amaranthacea family with amaranthus. 

It was a small error, he didn’t know, nothing serious, but it got me think about myself. 

My high school years were full of bullshitting. My essays were rushed and I’d write them in attempts to get my word count up rather than to actually say something meaningful. This caused me to literally depend on the ignorance of my professors to get by, I’d hope they wouldn’t realize my redundancies (Im sure they did). But what I learned in school is what I applied to the outside world. As an American I’ve noticed this a lot, that people bullshit, I bullshit. Whether consciously or unconsciously I sometimes find myself saying  things that I don't really know for a fact are true, then depend on the ignorance of my peers to sound smart and intellectual. 

Very rarely do people stand up for what they feel is the truth in our society, because standing up and speaking out against a person or ideology is inflammatory and usually frowned upon in our social system, as most conflict is. We as humans try very hard to avoid conflict, allowing bullshit artists and unhealthy ideologies  to slide and slither about. I am grateful for the boy at the smoothie king, because he helped me realize that I play a part in this too, and through his ignorance he allowed me an opportunity to understand my own. I’m now being observant of whether or not I’m bullshitting; saying some random  fact because I have trouble telling people I don’t know things, or that I’m still learning. Noticing when My pride swells. Humility, I’m learning to admit to my ignorances, that there is nothing to prove. Nothings wrong with a Tyro. 

“When we see men of worth, we should think of equalling them; when we see men of the contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.”

Chirping Birds

Chirping is

Chirping isn’t 

Beautiful chimes of the young mans voice 

Cold summer weather the Grand Mothers choice 

Shh goes the mother Shh blows the wind 

outside is the gift inside is the present 

Freedom in the eye salt tear warm chai

All this in the sound of a chirping birds cry.

Rough Vagabond

My mind floats

                    Rough Vagabond

Through the void

                In search of the Unique

Where does one begin even? 

        To accomplishing this task?

How does it happen, that finding of kin of whom you so positively relate?

               The question is asked by 1000s of souls in the search for what is right

To Be; Or Not to be

          Is that the question?

To know and To act

               Is that the answer?

My Mind Floats  

                  Rough Vagabond 

 Through the Void

                                                                                                 Know Thyself.

All of her loves, thorns and thistles 

All of her joys, loves and hopes

Dreams and visions 

Constantly lifes mission

Peaceful Body, Freedom awaits

Calm the emotions, Icey Watered mistakes

Love is the answer Pure thought Pure being

Enjoying the moment Warm thoughts clear seeing

- Joy Joy Joy Smile Smile Smile -

Too Much, Too Little?

Thinking, Contemplating

What is the reason? Is there a Purpose?

Too much thinking is like too much eating. Too much eating is like too much breathing

Too much breathing is like too much seeing and too much seeing is like too much being.

Too much being is like too much fucking. too much fucking is like too much running

Too much running is like too much jerking and too much jerking is like too much twerking

Too much is too much, too little is too much too little and doing too much of anything means you’re doing too much of everything, because doing too much is doing too little of the things you’re not doing. And if you’re not doing too much then you’re doing too much too little of the things you enjoy.

Health!

Healthy living, Healthy livelihood is so important to become a better human being! Finding that comfort in your body is so crucial, and that comfort is easier to feel when the body isn’t internally in agony! 

Eating in Moderation! Observing many different diets, understanding what my body needs, how my body operates helps me eat in a way that benefits digestion and mental clarity. 

Self experimentation is the best way I’ve come to do this, LIVE LIFE, experience life! Eat and learn what works and what doesn’t!
