Flutterings
I really envy butterflies,
and their natural beauty.
Their selfish act of
pure survival and instinct.
In that they really have no
other earthly agenda but to
make more butterflies.
What wonder.
How simple.
How beautiful.
And the morning sky not far
from Biggsville suddenly
opened a huge swarm of
these unearthly creatures.
And then I tresspassed upon
their airy sanctuary and felt,
for a long second, like an
intruder in my own land.
Passion Fix
If you want it,
it's never enough.
If you stand on it,
it's a firm foundation.
If you need it,
it will elude you.
If you sit on it,
it will receive you.
If you set it free,
it will reward you.
If you lay with it,
you'll be content.
If you cast it from your life,
you will die.

Notes on the passing of Hunter S. Thompson
Often times, the manner of one's exit from this life reflects the manner of one's life.

Hearts
Shattered into a million
pieces,
swept away like old
dirt.
Thrown out like yesterday's
newspapers.
Recycled like the glass it
resembles,
to try again.
Life
Birth
deadlines
committments
newspapers
obligations
rust
denial
choices
phone calls
bills
unresolved bullshit
taxes
strife
headaches
dreams
escape
truth
trust
love
sacrifice
happiness
euphoira
death.
Recollections
Rub the flint and steel together-let's party.
Spin some Savoy Brown
open up some ancient Heinkein (with part of the cork in the bottom of the
bottle).
Devour chocolate in layers.
What does Mozart do to
your soul?
Squalor
Green leaves
to yellow
returns to red.
Etc.
And out the
door she
goes,
into her
safety net
of urban
decay.
24 Hour Bugs
Swarming together in a
frenzy of
mating rituals.
The species continues for
another 24 hours.
Of Little Consequence
The book I was reading went
smack across the floor,
the phone rang.
Nothing I've done
matters anymore.

First musing
First musings tend to be a bit.....difficult, pretentious, even disturbing. My hope is that none of this is the case. Currently, I am in the process of discovering my life and what I want to do with it; or, rather, what I was really put on this lovely Earth to do. What is it I want to do when I grow up? I have trouble narrowing it down to just one thing. I want to.....Love and be loved, i want to garden and grow things, I want to explore more of God's creation. Is that asking too much? I think not!
