Tenuity

There is a world within this world, accessed only by turning inward, away from the world; There, in this tenuity, the world welcomes you in its ingenuousness and splendor; Can I not be the lambenting flame, the lapping brook, the soaring hawk, or the infinite sky? It is, after all, a matter of what... Sign in to see full entry.

On Lucubration

Only a modicum of light is required to illuminate darkness; likewise, a parsel of truth can clear the way where no path is seen; Many hidden secrets await the ones whose lucubration of themselves are sincere; If everything be a reflection of me, then should I not reflect on myself in order to...

Incommunicado

The effort to ensconce oneself carries with it a wall of defense, which requires constant fortification; Ironic as it seems, most human relationship consists of individuals demanding to be heard, but refusing to listen; Are we deaf to our own appeal? Forceful words indicate temerity; intransigence... Sign in to see full entry.

Sang-froid

Self-reliance is the way filled with pockmarked hazards, and numerous setbacks. It is unassured, and reminds one to constantly be on guard for what has been so meagerly gained.

In silence it comes, without fanfare or invitation. Its serendipitous... Sign in to see full entry.

We choose what we do not choose by denigration of it; Furthermore, denigration bestows upon it a power it would otherwise never have; If attention be tantamount to existence, does it exist at all? Behold your own creative ability. Sign in to see full entry.

Unbound

Conditions exist for the sole purpose of offering freedom; yet, seeking freedom from them cause them to exist.

I'm Living My Dream

I shied away from parenthood for many years, lest my anger would cause emotional damage. Little did I know that being a dad would be the only way that I could come to terms with unresolved issues. There are no handbooks for the position, and no one to train you. The only tools available are the ones... Sign in to see full entry.
