immovability

You ever lay
Transfixed in thought?
The slow
Dumb thumb 
Typing stream.
Futile.

Of consciousness 
For consciousness 

We cannot 
Input fastly enough.

Thinking out your life,
((Y)Our(s))
Then. 
Spawned to action.

Interminably. 
On loop.

This restful period
But work.
Thee Work. 
From the heart

This is necessarily
Real Life.

Complainers
The systems refuse 
How they abound.
Surely they're 
Not us.
Ha ha

Why mustn't we share.
We need a 
System(s) Update.

Ignorance is the only evil 
I've heard

Ignorance is intelligence 
With Naked compassion. 

Truth. 
Antidote of shame
Or contempt.

Oh, what to say 
For outdated cliches.
Give me A
Raise, not praise.

TheY press truth.
Clothed ignorance 
Still
Provides shelter. 

But it's not truth.

Text blog.
Small print.
Small ideas. 

Action.
Move-ability.
Lightness.

Too raw.
An exposed nerve
No myelin sheath.
Learned that in class
Seemed important 
At the time.

Physics, Economics 
We learn
And grasp.
Late
On the decline. 

You can hear
The wisdom murmer
Pause, 
In the street
Barely silent.

Just let it.

Live it all out.
With no hope.
YOur life.

Please
My lungs
Source of breath
Stay healthy.

Come, said my Soul

Come, said my Soul
Such verses for my body, let us write, (for we are one,)
That should I after death invisibly return,
Or, long, long hence, in other spheres, 
There to some group of mates the chants 
resuming,
(Tallying Earth's soil, trees, winds, tumultuous waves,)
Ever with pleas'd smiles I may keep on,
Ever and ever yet the verses owning - as, first, I,
here and now,
Signing for Soul and Body, set to them my name,
Walt Whitman

My soul YAWPS

snapshot

Enough pretention. Not knowing is cooler.

Felt a soul shudder from the twitter sunset pic. 
The mind and body align in those rare and so yearned for moments. 
That quintessence, that clarity, that conscious, strikes through. 
It's a wave, we can only experience, not grasp it.
Though we relish the thought.
Those mmm moments. 

Gratitude, acceptance, forgiveness, these make life beautiful. 
Kindness, patience, the overreaching benchmarks. 
Don't talk or think, breathe and be.
The heat absorbs the suffering of my legs. 
The skin wants to retreat, but the bones do not move.
The transition in my body - sees itself. 
Natural transitions.

By the temet nosce we just are, to be.
As the suns rays lay wasteful beauty over our eyes.
And angry angry angry for no good reason.
I have glimpsed,
To grasp the unendurable. 
Endurable.
We are unendurable, two little eyes.
We cannot see when we're born. 

Not knowing is all.

rant.

For your consideration as a striking visual representation. Go about your day, like you do any other day; read below, then watch. 

"Notice a difference yet?" How long would it take for you to notice? If you cut one of the pennies in the video into 10,000 pie pieces, each new little piece is still $10,000. A piece. How long does it take to save $10,000. What about if you're an old man, or a young man? Depends, I suppose. How is time not the most valuable perspective? 1 million seconds is 11 days, 1 billion is near my upcoming age this year (33). 

How I feel, naively idk, as I journey through our world, in this digital numeracy age, is that there should really be no reason that nobody doesn't have enough: free in mind, and thinking for ourselves, without living to maintain a "cost" of living, but providing for future humanity itself, altogether ourselves. Would I be wrong in saying how difficult it must be for men in the present to provide for a family, let alone themselves? I'm no engineer or coder changing the world, or have a family myself (yet), but have my own visions, successes and passions of life I myself follow in music and art, all the while honored to know some of the best and have witnessed people having families working in the artistic field. I also aim there. 

It's just funny how we view time. All this hustle mindset stuff is productive, but way overdone, have a rest, relax and enjoy your life. My grandma gardened, I never have. I would sit alongside her sometimes and talk, toiling the soil with her. How long would it take for you to grow your own food? What about insulin? Collective and mental slavery still exist here (earth); you have to pay for your own housing and food. You don't choose to get sick. Water is essential, but sold at the store, etc... Labor is "honest toil," a "vetted remuneration policy." Maybe we need an altogether new system of "money" or valuation, an actual "rigor" proactive contributing force of good for humanity. Balanced though. Greed (and anger), is cancer someone once told me. Let me know if you have any good ideas. Bitcoin? 

I am just baffled and amazed by the magnitude and scale of this video analogy, and how much or little, people understand about the present moment. One of the most intelligent people I've met once told me not to hope, that it is dangerous (even though he'll swear he didn't and tease me about it), and I understand why better now. Anyway here: enjoy this video; math and physics run the world, and please bring philosophy back to the streets.
