tumbling fast and furious
no traction on a slick, muddy hill
falling head-first with no idea what is at the bottom
no traction on a slick, muddy hill
falling head-first with no idea what is at the bottom
mercifully
most days
she loves me and I love her
and that is enough solace to fill the evenings as we watch tv and eat and talk
we have then... enough
read how positive thinking back-fires
people feel like the compliments they give themselves
read how positive thinking back-fires
people feel like the compliments they give themselves
are untrue . . .
they end up feeling worse
they end up feeling worse
always thought staying positive was a way
to keep your head buried in the bullshit
somebody has to man the battle lines
someone has to take the stand
somebody has to feel a depressing world if it is a depressing world
some would feel this is the only honest way to react to the human tragedy
---- life is suffering
i read from the great Buddha again this week
the Dali Lama balances the hell of losing his country, his culture, his people
somehow goes on day in and out fighting his good fight
whether he wins or loses
The media saints are always bad examples of everything
wealth and fame can't help but make life easier
different/exceptional
the truth lies not in the exceptional but with the average
what most believe is how we supposedly govern ourselves
the average day of the average man is what most people are living
the student dies when you realize there are
these questions no one can answer for you
the questions you zone in on your entire life
never perfecting... just incrimentally, imperceptibly, becoming...closer to true
