The silent masters say, “Pay attention to the day” but I think not too much because the such and such prevents free movement into a “feel good” state of mind as if bedecked in jacket, gloves, in the act of making love. Ah, yes, this reality stifles those who would be free to dance beneath the stars the full import of heart and naked smile tonight, tomorrow, and always, in complete awareness of collective happiness. The masters never say, “What’s theirs is mine today” but unknowingly I do brace against this lack of grace and armour plate my brain like the broken hearted cover up a need with a lack of empathy. Soldiers into battle and the war cry is disease for no one is exempt from the mushrooming effect of attention to the day that brings its own dismay creeping through the flesh into the depths of soul. Ah, yes, this intense human cooperative promotes and markets, sells, universal misery like a slow injection of poison into veins until darkened is the light behind my life force. Dark or light it seems tonight no flicker of delight is sufficient to prevent absorption and belief destined to fertilize and to germinate the growing to maturity of more “dirty” deeds. Pay attention to the day! Ah, yes, what to say when the speaking and the telling adds fuel to the fire? Helen / 2 May 2005 |
