Being With

7/13/09

Presence is human essence,

to fully embody

on inner, outer plane,

the realm of Mystery

impregnating every existing speck

whether experienced or not

as our 'extended self'

but I often forget,

am overcome by feelings,

what my mind thinks

while dividing this world

into compartments to understand

make the unfathomable simple

put in graspable terms

so to imagine control

thinking I can navigate

my life with power,

which is really possible,

but contrary it seems,

for when 'letting go'

of believing we know

how things 'should' transpire

our influence becomes easier

when effecting course direction

playing with each aspect

arising for purposeful recognition

being with it's dynamics.

Progress to date: 'hothouse' addition to motorcycle shed

Efforts

4/4/09

To exert one's

power, force, strength,

bringing it out

physically, or mentally,

aimed at objects

performing an act

perhaps literary, artistic,

the product of

some desired vision,

'dream to manifestation',

addictive creative passions

course through veins,

such vital aliveness,

stumbling upon treasures

unforeseen cognitive impulse

lightning bolt insights

their ecstatic revelations

that redirect focus

beyond original idea,

when showing itself,

in refined details

or pragmatic workings,

how circumstance demands

we pay attention

to "What now?"

this forever moment

our efforts mold.
