Small Bits of Big Thoughts

From 2005-2009

A spotlight upon uncertainty, and a mystic vibration.
This wave is leading me into a mood I've never known.

To ignore is to give in,
and to proceed is a promise to never look back again.
There's nowhere to turn in this hallway,
in this body.

Just keep from crying, but don't hold it in;
Abandon it all together, or fear will never end.

A body draped in light, and it's message twists you.
I've become a planet, an entire galaxy even,
but there's nothing I can do.

Layers and layers of reality intertwine
through light, sound, and an actual symphony composed of flesh;
A celebration through meditation that we are the universe.

We were laughing about everything, because we could.
Positive vibrations, and memorable resonance weaved through each vessel,
shaping the universe one joke at a time.

We held onto nothing, and God couldn't stop laughing.
To see human existence begin and end in a blink...
It didn't matter...
(laughter)

This fountain of blood, this system of me,
It's all I need.
Awe struck by this biological machine,
I hold my breath as a gesture;
a pause even from living to admire I'm alive.

Capable of anything, but specifically love.
To devote my attention
and consciously use the time I have with direction.

I am in love and always will be with more than just another,
but one whose eyes are as wide open as those staring back.

She's blessed me with visions, hints that there is more;
to humans, to reality, to living, to everything.

I'll never see how I once did,
because there isn't a "once did", only a now.

Outside of time, I've left my mind to linger among Gods.
Among monks and mystics, colors and portals
my body must go.

I'll return again.
I will never end.

You've gathered us, here.
We've sat around together
while you tower above forever.
I clench hands with my brothers.

Just as you dreamt of us before our arrival,
we dream of you post-departure.

From here on you are the light;
honest; boundless; fearless.
From here on we'll continue,
everything you've begun.

Way of the Peaceful Warrior

Hello world, I've recently picked a book by Dan Millman entitled Way of the Peaceful Warrior. It's been a very strange experience reading this book; the situation of the protagonist, who also happens to be the author of this semi-fictitious autobiographical novel, resonates with this point in my life to the point where I'm convinced I wasn't suppose to read it until now. I actually remember seeing this book several times in the past at book stores, even vocalizing the title to myself, but not until have I peered into it.

The book is about Dan in his junior year in college. He becomes depressed, lost, and unfulfilled with the life he has led, and is baffled at why. One night he wanders the streets of San Fransisco and comes across a man at a gas station,(Although this is where it ceases to parallel my life, it's also where it gets interesting). The man becomes his mentor, teaching him to become more than just an athlete, or a great student, even more than a man. He begins picking his mind in a Zen fashion, and leading him to a life in which unconditional happiness and intrinsic awareness are all that are sought.

I haven't finished just yet, but I'm already so eager to read it again.

I'd recommend this book not just to anyone, but everyone.
