I'm just some dude with knowledge of the human condition beyond the filter of fear and insecurity down the core of person's essence of being human or toad. Other than that; I’m that man that sees the world from another’s shoes and reflects upon the existence of their happiness or misery while they themselves are controlled by their own fears and insecurities for which I see as strings to be pulled by some puppet master within or outside of their own existence.

I am who I am because of great pain, great fear, great hate, great forgiveness, great truth and great Love; all of which encompass one person, God. I guess you could say that I am who I am because of God. It is because of God that “I am”; I know this to be true because I am aware of the self.

Every person no matter who you are has deep epiphanies at one time or another. When they hit you something within resonates and that inner voice tells you that you've just figured something out. Most people acknowledge the truth and then it is lost to time and never applied and never pondered again. Many years ago I began taking note of my epiphanies in writing and with a Dictaphone that I would carry by my side. My epiphanies would come to me while I was in many different states of mind. I may have been sober or in some altered state of meditation. This note taking turned into my philosophical journal of truths that I have come to in my life. This Blog is my attempt to translate my philosophic journal into a poetic format. Let’s just face it, not many people would read a philosophy book. My goal is to submit my poetic prose to the Walt Whitman Award and my blog is my way of holding myself to the fire.

The Mirror

The Mirror

My perceived respect shines through

The cause of your malice is you

The wall you see around me does not exist

When you look into my eyes all you see is you

The more you hate, the more you loathe you

If you don’t catch it soon I will be your puppet master too

So show me your weakness

That I may prey because I am human just like you

The Cherubim* may have to wait as my purity has not yet arrived

So fear me you may

The more of your weakness I know

The further into you I go



Cherubim: Theology . a member of the second order of angels, often represented as a beautiful rosy-cheeked child with wings.

Existence

I am the breath that travels through the flute that births the musical note that touches your soul

I am the force that causes the rose to bloom and the universal consciousness that appreciates its beauty

I am the emotion that puts you into motion and causes you to jump into life

I am the lust that brings about the passion for you to be touched

I am the discipline that puts your lust in check

I am the freedom that allows you to choose

I am the guilt that causes you to look inward

I am the grief that savors the cup of sorrow

I am the anger that relishes the thought of retribution

I am the wisdom that teaches you to forgive

I am the enchantment that shows you the love of something new

I am the novelty that gives you the appreciation of what is old

I am the pain that feeds on your anger

I am the sun that gives you warmth

I am the night that gives you mystery

I am the unknown that gives you fear

I am the love that gives you bliss

I am both the inspiration and the beat down

I am purpose

I am intention

I am the journey

I AM EXISTENCE

I AM YOU AND YOU ARE ME
