The End

There is infinite unity. Somewhere in the abyss of space and time there is a circle of light. This light is both too small to see and too large to understand. Here in the light, exists everything. Everything that is and everything that was. 

Dying by Alex Gray, 1998
We see this place sometimes. In our dreams or in the eyes of another the light becomes exposed. We reach out hoping to capture it. Like a treasure, which can be claimed and possessed, we cover it with our hands and we hold on to it, but all we do is create a shadow as our hands grasp thin air. 

It begins with seeing the light. At first it is strange, unusual and distant. When it gets close it streams through the gaps between our fingers, blinding us. We are afraid so we try to shield ourselves. But the light is more powerful than us, it can penetrate deeper than anything we can possibly use to block it. When it touches our bodies we become enlightened and embraced. We finally realize, we are and were never alone. We see that everything that is, always was and will forever be. That our choices and lives were a dream and that the end is when we wake up.

    It is as if the unbound, fully aware, intellectual consciousness is sleeping and we with our limited perception within the third dimension is but a dream of that consciousness. Let me quote a great.
    “Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather.” Bill Hicks

Mag 27: The Wails of a Rusty Pipe

Image
Time passes, Iron decays, My purpose is fading, my structure eaten away. See the way I cry when I'm put to work? It only eats at me more, It only hurts. Everyday I wait for the moment, when they will take me off this wall and I cease to ferment. The fires of hell I hear men speak, sound wonderful and pleasant, Oh what a treat! To be rid of this rust, This dust and blue, To be awakened and reborn, To be once again anew. What could be worse than flame? For so many seem afraid. To remain stagnant, To always be the same.

A True Writer

When I took creative writing this semester, my professor asked the class, "Why would we write if the process to getting published is so full of rejection and so difficult?" The class had little to say. She then said, "We do it because we can't live without writing." I know that I'm a writer because I really can't live without writing. The feeling of having that good pen on some paper and just pouring out thoughts and feelings is such a cathartic relief. There are journals half full a quarter full laying around my apartment and though I'm not sure of much in my life, I know that I'm a writer. I know I can't live without writing. :D

  Following inescapable uncertainty Earth once flat moving round like sunshine candy dripping with excitement on asphalt upon which left behind hopes once traveled Gazing into the white horizon blinded  by possibilities Unsure of the route Uncanny wagon wheels rolling Over and over and over and over and over and over Breathing future dust composed of ghosts that yearned for visions hungry souls devour ravenous for escape
