Stand Against Shame

Live in the light

Dream in the darkness

Believe in the right

And, shut out cold starkness

Revel in blind goodness

Repel all that is bad

Always move forward

And, never act sad

Complete what is broken

Don’t change what is whole

Repeat the unspoken

Climb out of your hole

Be friend to all people

Don’t live in the past

Fly down from the steeple

The die is NOT cast

Stand tall in the wind

With your head in the sky

Open ears to the din

Is the best way to fly

Chasing the Void

When you've been around long enough, you'll eventually understand that you'll never know everything, you'll never experience everything, you'll never see, taste, smell, or feel everything because the concept of "everything" is one big false hope. But, that's OK, because, after a while, you forget about that and just go with the flow, try to stay in the grove, and realize that there is no beginning nor end, only "now" (as everything as it gets) and "not now" - The Void (as nothing as it gets). So, chasing "everything" makes as much sense as chasing The Void - it doesn't.
