There is no way to remove the observer -- us -- from our perceptions of the world.

When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them."

"Oaks are the true conservatives;
They hold old leaves till summer gives
A green exchange."
~Roy Helton
Projection
Be careful about projecting your own motives onto the behavior of others. Try to see others as they actually are, not as another version of yourself, or another version of someone from your past. Treat each person with the respect that you would show the person you most admire on Earth, and you will be less likely to act with your unconscious prejudice. Try hard, it's important, not just for them, but for your own heart.
Soul Mates
What if you meet your soul mate, and you are each very respectful of one another, and of life itself, and you love deeply, laugh often, and live well every day of your life?
I Am
Each is "I"
and all are "me".
To every single heart that beats,
all other hearts are "you".
There is no one who stands closer to another;
there is no one who did not have a mother;
no one.
When words are spoken,
they are spoken by an "I",
and they are heard by a "me".
There is no one who does not belong;
there is no one who was born wrong
or uninvited;
no one.
Wit and wisdom;
misery, elation;
laughter and song!
Emanations from the depths my soul.
I do not exist as someone else's "you", or "her", or "they".
There is no one who does not originate their own laughter;
there is no one who was born before or after
the beginning of life, of humankind.
Each is "I"
and all are "me".

Queen of Stars
Not at Home,
Unaccounted for-
Where art Thou, my playful one?
The darkness of the mind assails me!

Friends
Your friends are the ones who show trustworthiness when they stick around after you answer the question, "How are you?"

And
It is finished.
Thank you for helping me to remember.
Thank you for helping me to unravel the knot, to find the source of the pain, to help me face my deepest sin, my betrayal.
Goodbye, see you on the next go-round, perhaps~
peace, love, light, as always and as Always,
mon amour

Shine
The shine that catches the eye and is gone;
an elusive glint that cannot be followed
or seen from straight on,
only from the corner of the eye;
like a moonglow firefly;
an ember falling from my hair
that spits and flares and disappears
before it can be captured;
it is only the dust on my coat
from the road Home.

Pleiades

"when i look up at the stars at night
what could i find beyond the light
a hundred million worlds that we ignore
who can restrain pleiades
or know the laws of heavenly's
how many times have we been wrong before
far off in the field i see a castle
today the people gather at the pole
he tried to tell us all the world was spherical
they burned his body but not his soul"
~King's X, "Pleiades"
from Gretchen Goes To Nebraska
Roses Can Prick
Try Treating Others With The Friendship, The Love, The Respect, The Attention, The Empathy That You Want For Yourself, Try Taking Accountability For The Way You Have Acted, Now And Whenever. Try Trusting That Other People Are Worthy And Are Capable Of Forgiveness. Try Letting Go Of The Resentment You Have Toward People Who Have Done You No Wrong. Try Being A Genuine Friend To Someone Other Than Your Pre-Approved Types Of Humans. Try remembering that you are not the Owner Of Pain; you could try being a comfort to others.

Illusions
I might not care as much as you think I do.
You might care more than you think you do.
Or you wouldn't be reading this.
Projecting, assuming, judging, from such an "enlightened" spirit?
Projecting, assuming, judging, from such an "enlightened" spirit?
Try respect, it doesn't piss people off.
Try humility, you won't be surprised so often.
Try to stop controlling everyone for once.
There are other people that have to live on this rock, too, the same as you.

Sail your own ship, watch your own stars, pay equal respect to all the other vessels you encounter, obey Maritime rules. You are not the wind that blows my sails, nor are you the waves that rock my hull. Do not think you can read my charts from your deck, and let go of the belief that I chart my course according to yours.
There is enough transcendent beauty to fill the skies of every captain; no one can claim to own the stars.
