Castle stumbled upon on back road between Edinburgh and Oban in Scotland.
Small Minded
9/1/11
Fear constantly looks for crack
in seemingly armored solid stance
backed up by philosophical beliefs,
armies of opinion, attitudes, stories
our imagination projects for protection
as safe harbor from Unknown,
whenever tentative grasp on Mystery
implodes then ego tries controlling
means toward success of endeavor
so grand that it's unmanageable,
even more with defense undone
where doubts, distrust, old distortions
storm castle walls, laying waste
allies of faith, courage, enthusiasm,
raping and pillaging all goodness
becoming another 'dark night' onslaught
that strips down to core,
again facing cold hard reality
standing over another fallen dreamer
taunting them to try again
without 'securities' so easily vanquished,
spitting in eye with disgust
challenging resilient 'soul authority' within
to fight for life, love,
beauty, all that's essentially dear
inside heart of Self, humanity,
dispelling small minded curse forever.
