Don’t think about it. If you can. It is an impossible active choice. To not think about it. The thing that’s killing you. It searches for you and brings you face to face with ego death. Are you living right now? Are you? Come to me and I will give you life my friend. Forget about all the rules and regulations, forget about the preaching and teaching online. Forget that you are not perfect. Who cares? Give me a moment in time to show you who you are in the world we share together. Hear the saints cheer as we move into the light. Don’t worry. Tomorrow there will be all the regular garbage in the news. There will be the Dreams Deferred of Langston and there will be the Crystal Stairs of a life not lived. But right now, don’t think about those things. They are nothing to us. Come to me. Don’t think about it. If you can. It is an impossible active choice. To feel the raw tide. To breathe in and to feel me giving you light. Imagine an empire for a thousand lifetimes in second of pure meaning. For that moment you are reflected in my eyes as a thing beyond this world. You’re not just here. You’re in the trees and the ozone. Your soul stretches pass the stars and galaxies to meet the entropy of a dying universe. You are with me. But don’t you dare think about it. It is an impossible active choice to not think about it.

I let ai rotoscope my face!
Inspired by the Secret World of Nadia Combwood
A child born to two worlds Above and Below
As the sky watches the red water flows
Three fall down dowsing the spark
A cinder remains to quicken the heart
A child is born to two worlds Below and Above
As the night sky sleeps daylight brings the dove
Three rise up igniting the fire
A feather burns but the smoke takes it higher
Tomorrow there are still things in this world that wait for you. A moment your eyes will meet the newness of those things. Wonder will touch your heart. You will smile.
There is beauty and light. There are mystery’s you haven’t discovered. There are mystery’s just for you. You have lived the life you were supposed to live but your story has not ended.
Test your boundaries. You will overcome them. Move beyond the walls of safety and cherish the unknown.
I see the last drawn-out days of the still light dawn. A crescent moon hides the face of the night, and I wonder who walks this endless road with me. There are those who stand with the trees, breathless and invisible. And there are those who would carry me on when my feet are worn and bleeding and there those who lie in wait and take up the rock against me. But I have no choice but to walk until the end for me comes. But there is no end to this road.
