Fears, insecurities,
Like rocks within
Sand; motion works
To grind all that’s
Good to dust.
Month: January 2015
Happy Friday!
Here’s wishing all you
All the best of life’s good things;
Glorious Friday!
Meditation on Zombies
Well, zombies have pushed themselves solidly into pop culture. Their heyday was really a year or two back, but they’re still significant.Why? What is attractive about this mythological archetype? I wonder about such things.
They have immorality and near invincibility. Zombies are relentless and immune from most injury. In one way, they are perpetual motion machines. They don’t need fuel to continue effort. The consuming drive is about converting all, not about gaining energy.
Perhaps we feel something of kinship. The mindless exertion, so akin to much of our lives. Mundane, rote effort with its dehumanizing outcome; we’re much like zombies.
Free from thought, they simply react. They are free of pain. Yet, the most powerful element: they’ve escaped death. In one way, they’ve conquered our greatest fear.
That, I believe, encompasses their attraction. And why, I expect, they’ll be with us for some time to come.
Analogies of Rivers
Upon life’s river
Flowing gracefully downwards
Or crashing rapids
Evening Time
Evening floats
Down upon my mind
I drift gently over
These vacant, mist-like
Dreams born of others.
Collapsing into my
Mind’s silence.
Challenger
Undoing Love
Sadness coming when
Our gentle hearts pushing far
Cannot return home
Dualities
Strange duality
Each thing’s opposite tangled
Deeply into one.
Morning birdsong
This morning birdsong
So very loud, boisterous.
Visions of spring time
Wretched
Wretched dreams drift
Pavement grinds against my mind.
Coldness burns my soul
