what's been said, while on-the-go

0910 after my Good & Evil class
Derived from Oedipus the King,
having just recently learned on my own,
the class receives a similar lesson learned.
Reassuring to know that someone else has come to the same conclusion.
That... nothing in life is safe. As abrupt as the swift flip of a coin is, nothing remains consistently the same.
The unexpected, the unknown is not yours - out of your hands, uncontrollable. Living in utter, absolute bliss. At the peak of Mount Everest,
there you stand victoriously,
obliviously unaware of the events the next moments will soon bring.


0912
Crossing paths.
Crossing minds.
Moments for two.
Blinking images of yesterday.
Deja vu. Deja vu.
Filled empty spaces with polluted ideas.
Clean air far too long absent.
The flow of thought reaching U-turns and dead ends.
No where else to go but here,
Signs are lacking indication of direction.
My compass is dysfunctional.


0918
It is quiet. I sit here alone with my thoughts
and the distant sounds
made here,
near and far.

Concentrating on
the inner me
...the outer you.

But I know I am finished.
Now it is just a matter of completing the finished.
By completing, I mean leaving
the finished
completed.

Giving what I have left over on my plate
the title of
"left overs."

And being unwanted,
I now dispose of it.

middle ground does not exist


just wishing the puzzle pieces fit
stuck, forced living in two colliding worlds
there is no middle ground
one or the other
you must choose
longing for
understanding
within myself
understanding
beyond what i already know
yearning for
understanding
from your minds to mine
a connection that exists for the purpose of linking our thoughts as one
on one path that leads to one destination of peace and serenity
as one body
one entity
if only there were such thing
