While sitting under the shade of a great maple I can feel the warmth of the sun against my back for I am trying to focus on a small ant climbing over a peeble as if he was climbing a mountain.  I have my camera positioned just so so when he crests the top I can capture his triumpt.  A...

The bell is simple and historical.

It is used for praise and warning.

It is strong and resilent .

It has a gorgeous and reflective exterior.

The sound is like that of an angel echoing through the world.

It is a heirloom piece that can tell a story like nothing else can.

My bell is all of this, that is for sure.  

I can't say that I want to collect bells - I just want to admire...

The rhythm of the heart is educational.

                                                                                             The burn of scotch under the moon is refreshing.

A paperclip can band a bird and a rose in the same way.

                                           Coffee is best served in the morning with a friend, and thus never consumed alone.

Why do some look at life through the bottom of a whiskey glass?

Are they looking for a reality that they can not see normally or are they looking at reality?

Do they search for emotions that they have hidden and locked away or are they running from the emotions they have? 

Are they trying to hide from their emotions or are they trying to feel again?

What if they are trying to do a...

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed - light can travel through galaxies and galaxies is what is seen because of the light.  Even a black hole has light about it, it is that light that exhibits a beauty like no other.  This beauty and darkness is what draws people to it - in to it.

As the worlds, and stars and galaxies rotate around and look upon the blackhole they fantasize what could b...

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed - so where does this energy we feel come from?

Is it an energy that has been stored for lifetimes just waiting for us to release it?

How is the light generated that is seen in ones eyes?

None of this sounds possible?  I have been .................................................

Are we just young and naive? Or we old and stupid forgetting mor...

Life is not a fight, treat it like one and you will fail

Life is not a battle, there are too many enemies

Life is not a war because a war consists of fights and battles with no possible winner

Life is a crusade - a crusade cant be won just experienced.  We go through this crusade winning losing loving and hating.  It is all about the experiences and being able to learn and grow and teachi...

WOW

SPEECHLESS

UNSINKABLE 

LIFE IS NOT A BATTLE- NOT EVEN A WAR BUT A CURSADE

For every darkness there is s light 

For every death a new life

For every winter a spring

And 

Every night has a sun 

This fucked up world is nothing but contradictions, mysteries, and lost souls.  Then out of nowhere comes a four leave clover, a piece of blue glass and a painted sky to re...

I have decided enough is enough

i have seen the glass bottom so many times and the view is so distorted that life means nothing.

Life is what we make it - so the next life will be better

The next life will be worse

The next life is just that the next one.

I am so far from home that I do not think I will ever return.  

My light is lost, it is shining on those that need it mor...

What is true love?

True love does not involve vows 

True love does not mean living together 

True love is out of the control of society 

True is love is what the heart wants...and it does not give two shits what we think or what we want.

True is love has no beginning and no end 

True love is felt and not thought 

True love is ... well ... true and honest and un biased 

True...

The clock keeps Ticking

The earth keeps spinning - circling the sun

Things are left undone.

The truth of life,

The madness of my mind.

One in the same ...

Life without a name.

Thunder without rain

Love and pain

No one gains.

IT is all a game!

Does anyone understand me?

Does anyone really care?

All I want is to live my life to the fullest 

All people want to do is hold me back and pen me up.

Why can't I just do what I want?

Why won't they support me?

All I want to do help.people...give them what I didn't have for so long and don't again.

Thoughts and words, support and concern, love and support ... but what do I kno...

All  have is you ...

No protection... no place to hide ...

Just you to save me... just you to protect me.

I ask for help without speaking ... 

You give help without offering...

If love is the strongest word it better start working out... this is more than love ..

Life's simple truth - 

There is nothing simple.

How can I understand that?

You don't.

How do I trust you?

You can't.

How can I love you then?

You shouldn't.

Why should I listen?

You won't.

I want to understand dut don't...

That's because nothing is simple and the truth to life is simplicity!

What matters in this life changes literally from day to day, minute to minute 

The bottom of a glass is peaceful

Don't judge and don't ask questions...

Walk in my shoes then tell me how to live my life..not that I would listen anyway.

I do the best I can .. nothing more nothing less....

Thank you to those who care and fuck those who don't...

Broken and afraid

Sad and alone

I have disappointed and failed...yet again

So many questions 

So many what if's

If yes then no

If no then yes 

They mount, I hurt

They mount, you hurt

I'll run away that will work ... no one will miss me

The sun still rises ... the rain still falls 

The darkness hides all.

The bottom of my glass hides the answers 

The night is restless 

The moon shines bright ... but the path is hidden

What is in a name.

What value does it hold?

Can I change my name...would anyone care?

Can't I chose who I am and what I will be?

Why do people focus on where they came from... our past makes in part who we are but WE create the final version?  What will yours look like?

If I change my name will it change me?

This life can go get fucked 

This life is someone's idea of a joke

What I know is this love is a simple thought for simple people

Love is something but not everything

As the it will bring change with its devastation
