Los Angeles 2020: Glimpse Inside

Walking around
my neighborhood today,
I make another new friend.
It is easy
when people are friendly.

The hummingbirds and lady bugs
move around with me.

I step around and over
the cat food thrown about
the sidewalk for the wild street cats.

One of the street cats is pregnant.
That means a kitten marathon parade
running through our yard's backlot -
the iron cat competition.

LAX is a few blocks in one direction,
fewer planes arrive each day, empty.
In the other direction, towards Hollywood,
are city fracking drills and oil rigs pumping.

When the wind blows the wrong way
the air smells of a cocktail mixture
shaken methane mice
stirred with etheric evergreens.

It’s a bizarre smell,
strange old musk antique,
yet modern industrial stink.

The constant hum of the city is bygone chic,
quiet and secretly stabilizing.
What happens inside the Earth
does not stay below ground,
but plays out in the surface residents.

Humans host organisms,
and microorganisms host other life forms -
then we all mix
in the river of blood
that runs through all of our veins.

I inhale your exhales.

We drink the same water,
Water already rained down,
a few times or more,
and run through
a few many life forms.

Living life,
in this biological bubble,
the watery suit of human ecology -
we are the virions,
who have gone viral,
in our virus environment.

We are simply made,
of the same ingredients,
as every living essence,
who has taken form.
Everything hosts life,
which hosts more life.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

Los Angeles 2018: Movers and Makers, Creators with Creations

Movers and Makers.

Creators with Creations.

We are stepping into the deep.

The wonderful depth

needed to be experienced -

in order to understand.

Committing to create

your own Life,

means you are creating

your own path.

The path is just simply there.

Preconditioned -

with strewn rocks

not meant to carry 
on your back,

and boulders to avoid 
at all costs.

The path of your Life

is a series 
of powerful choices.

Made and unmade,

formed and reformed,

through transformative journey

which each day and night brings. 

Feeling powerful

is knowing

that in every part of you -

exists a creator

of your own making,

and the maker

of your own path.

Live your own life.

No other, someone in a body, 
can create or live 
your life for you.

Your path may 
have precognitive influence,

as to 
what lays ahead -

but the cognitive,

which preconditions your path,

is of 
your own mind's making.

Life is in-part a sensory-experience.

Life is in-part an awakening.

Each new day and night 
knows 

for sure 
your heart, atoms, cells, 
organs, blood, flesh, 
skin and bone etc ...

have 
reformed, formed

and 
transformed, anew.

Each day you wake up new.

A body, 

made of liquid light,

acoustic colour, 
viscus viscous, 
ether ethos.

Each day you wake up into more, 
with more awareness.

Each day you wake up anew,

the results of the atomic turn-over.

A rate of atomic change hmolscience.
Human molecular science,

and the turnover rate -
the rate of change,
the number of atoms,

that which turns over into new,

within the physical body 
lead to being reimagined,
by the spiritual imagination.

Every day and night we change.

At the completion of one year,

the atomic transformation rate

shape-shifts us close to 98% different.

The body contains only 2% of the atoms

that were spinning in it one year ago.

Every year a person renews.

Human life-forms regenerate,

the twenty-six elements,
which comprise the human body -
completely new each year.

When you look into the night sky,

you are looking back in time.

We are looking back 
billions of years into the past.

Memory and truth 
exist in each atom.
Our universal human atomics

contain all stories ever told -

your mind is always awake.

Your mind is always transforming
what is not yet matter,
into your matter -
creating from the unseen into the seen.

Your mind is always transforming
what does not matter into non-matter -
eliminating form into formless, 
the seen into unseen..

You precognitively
get to decide what matters.
You preventively
get to decide what does not matter.

You decide what matters,
and which matters needs to change.

That which has already manifest 
as matters in your Life -
that which has grabbed your attention
can be changed.
Transformed into something other,
something more, that it's former self. 

Making manifest
is something 
you are already doing.
Simply adjust
what your attention is on,
and make more of what you like.
By placing your attention
and focusing on what you do like.

Empty yourself. 
Create and make. 
Recreate and remake.

Empty yourself.

Empty yourself of the already created.
Empty yourself of the past.
What you previously experienced,
as Life events are sensory event-horizons.
Experiences do not define you,
but simply mark time. 

Sensing
is one of your body's
main technologies. 

Choosing 
no more of this experience
or that event is powerful.
A way to convert this, 
manifest-matter into that,
pure light energy.

Unmake, remake,
there are no mistakes,
but simple matter
than can be converted
into something more
than it previously was.

Convert your matters
into that which
does matter to you.

Change your experiences
into more of what you want
to experience in Life.

Live your life more fully.
Bring more of yourself,
bring more your self's awareness,
more fully into your current 
stream of existence.

Upgrade your personal ecosystem.
Be more to sense more,
to manifest more and to have more.

Empty yourself of wounds.
Convert what forms 
your impressions of your life.

Empty yourself each night
by saying the mantra
"I let go of all this".

Empty yourself each day
by saying the mantra
"I let go of all this".

Make more space
for what you want more of
in your life.

Existence is rather large and infinite,
so there is always more
of yourself to experience.

See yourself
as larger than your own life.

Mind over matter.

You are a being becoming more 
by imagining more 
for yourself to experience.

The more you imagine each day, 
the more you are living each day.
What more can you imagine?

Life is, you - 
in the midst 
of re-imagining 
your experiences.

Feel safe in your own body.

Expand your senses,
and command them,
to show you more
of what exists.

Remind yourself
that you are more
than what you are 
currently experiencing.

You are visiting our lovely planet
for a stay of undetermined length.
Life is changing for each one of us.

Make more space for what you want.
Movers and Makers, 
Creators with Creations.

Los Angeles 2020: I Burn Like A Star

When you sit still
and ask
for the noise
in your head
to quiet -
it will,
because
you willed it.

The noise
is only
your previous experience,
what you sensed
of our World
not yet
transformed into Wisdom.

Since we do live
a cycle
of natural hourly regeneration -
place your trust
in your true characterization.

Lead and allow
your personal character
to Shape-shift
more Spirit
into more Form,
let yourself go
(inward and onward).

Become your Self -
to yourself be true
and trustworthy.

I earn my trust,
so I am trustworthy.

I earn my love,
so I am love-worthy.

I earn every breath,
and so I am inexhaustible.

I burn like a Star
taking the journey
of it’s Lifetime.

For once and for all,
we make
and unmake
and remake
our existence.

Look to the night Sky
to see the Life blazing
across all distances
and directions.

Travel
your inner dimensions
to explore
your own creative Life cycle.

Be astonished
at what you can see
within yourself,
be proud
of the wonders
you create
for one and all.

Be inspired
for once and for all,
and forever by all.

Sometimes after 1694,
 Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet) said or wrote;
"Meditation is
the dissolution of thoughts
in Eternal awareness
 or Pure consciousness
 without objectification,
 knowing without thinking,
 merging finitude in infinity."

Los Angeles 2020: Leaf in the Wind

The individual floats through the mass of the living.
The amassing massive mission of the masses.

To become,
to amass,
to become mass
one must first be weighty.
Be of some weight,
be of some substance -
be substantive,
be sustaining.

To be alive is first to be beyond mass,
beyond form and beyond the desire to be substantive.

To be alive one must first be self-sustaining and self-aware.

To be alive one must first exist and experience self-consciousness.

To be, is to be more than mass,
more than a sum of one’s parts -
but a whole entity
alive in knowing
that life is the gift
of wanting more than death,
and not wanting to kill the spirit -
any spirit
which animates the soul
to fill the eyes
with love of life.

~~ Other People's Fingerprints ~~
Sometimes after 1930, Derek Walcott wrote his poem,
The Season of Phantasmal Peace:

"Then all the nations of birds lifted together

the huge net of the shadows of this earth

in multitudinous dialects, twittering tongues,

stitching and crossing it. They lifted up

the shadows of long pines down trackless slopes,

the shadows of glass-faced towers down evening streets,

the shadow of a frail plant on a city sill—

the net rising soundless as night, the birds' cries soundless, until

there was no longer dusk, or season, decline, or weather,

only this passage of phantasmal light

that not the narrowest shadow dared to sever.

And men could not see, looking up, what the wild geese drew,

what the ospreys trailed behind them in silvery ropes

that flashed in the icy sunlight; they could not hear

battalions of starlings waging peaceful cries,

bearing the net higher, covering this world

like the vines of an orchard, or a mother drawing

the trembling gauze over the trembling eyes

of a child fluttering to sleep;

                                                     it was the light

that you will see at evening on the side of a hill

in yellow October, and no one hearing knew

what change had brought into the raven's cawing,

the killdeer's screech, the ember-circling chough

such an immense, soundless, and high concern

for the fields and cities where the birds belong,

except it was their seasonal passing, Love,

made seasonless, or, from the high privilege of their birth,

something brighter than pity for the wingless ones

below them who shared dark holes in windows and in houses,

and higher they lifted the net with soundless voices

above all change, betrayals of falling suns,

and this season lasted one moment, like the pause

between dusk and darkness, between fury and peace,

but, for such as our earth is now, it lasted long.”

Los Angeles 2020 : Distinction

The energy of ‘distinction’
mine, your's, our's -
collective distinction
and each distinct individual.

You are distinct.
You are distinctive.
You are distinctively living your distinction.
Your individual unique Soul’s presence is distinct.
Your true nature is to live your distinction. 

How does your distinction manifest?
How are you distinctly different?
How does your distinctive self grow it’s distinctive presence?

As the creator of your distinction,
are you aware of how others experience your distinction?

How you see yourself as distinctive,
becomes how others experience your distinctive presence.

You are coded, at the core of your being,
with your distinction.

Cultivating your distinct frequency of living
is akin to vibrational doctoring of your eminence.

The purity of your distinction,
your living essence at the core of your being,
is embodied to broadcast your distinction far and wide.

To see, is to feel, is to experience,
is to be aware of your distinct self.

Your Awareness directs your distinction,
you distinctly change every body and every thing
you come into contact with.

Your distinction alters space, form and time.

To cultivate your distinction
is to use your Extra Sensory Abilities
to sense your existence -
in a precognitive, past-cognitive,
and post-cognitive way.
All of you, within everything,
coexists simultaneously.

Sensory perception
is the ability to sense your existence
and sense your distinction -
in all  of you, within everything,
coexisting simultaneously.

Awareness
is touching various everythings
under your observation -
in a way that they,
those everything sense you,
and you sense yourself in them.

Your distinction self-permeates existence
and permits your existing.
It is in being yourself,
that you know yourself
and every thing knows you.”

Sometime after 1936, Pema Chodron wrote;
“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake
is to be continually thrown out of the nest.
To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land,
 to experience each moment as completely new and fresh.
To live is to be willing to die over and over again.”

Los Angeles 2019: Autumn Seasonal Delicately

Today I worked a spiritual event in Los Angeles.
The people attending were happy to be there.
As I helped people ready for the concert,
I noticed they were from all over the world.

Perhaps it was the anticipation
of receiving empowerment.
Perhaps it was relief
from the week's stress.

Perhaps it was amazement at sharing
a space with people who sought peace.
Perhaps it was the safety felt in numbers
of like-minded music-loving soul-seekers.

I believe what unified each person,
inwardly within themselves,
and outwardly with each other,
was the music.

The music and sound,
of many voices singing,
felt like a harmonic sound bath of light
emanating from Nature itself.

The experience felt like Wind,
when it blows as strong as it wants,
unchecked completely out of control -
or so it seems, 

to humans in fearful of sudden change.

Music when let loose, 

opens wounds and heals 

at the speed of sound.

Wounds open 

that you don't even know you have,
but miraculously 

before you can second guess,
to analyze or rationalize wounds -
these open wounds are healed 

and all scars dissolved.

We all want to transform experience into wisdom.

We all want to experience healing at the speed of light.

What allows us to experience
our unique transformational ability -
is our personal ability to have,
and our self-permission to allow.

The uncontrollable is cousin 

to the unforgivable,
and when together 

they dance to the chaos of sound.
This natural exchange opens 

the gateway into the heart 

of what really matters.

What matters most 

is what does not matter,
because everything matters
and every matter is spiritual in Nature.

The Nature of Spirit is the dance of Wind with Sound.

Together Nature and Spirit produce,
an offspring of creative expression.
This inner creative outpouring, 

is experience communicating, 

the wisdom of what matters most."

Sometime after 1997, Fujii Kaze wrote and sang;

"No matter how bad our bodies decay

We'd love to laugh at the end of time.

No matter what you're fighting for

I want you to be motivated by love.

No need to look for brand-new days

They're always here with us.

Though I've seen a lot of things in my life

My eyes will always and forever be sparkling

Though I've lived that long

Everything I've been through is like a dream ..."

Los Angeles 2019: Everything is Alive

Everything is alive.
"I took this photo a few days ago, the wild poppies of California.
When I looked into it's eye, I saw the formation of the planets.
Dust of the moon, spiral of a galaxy forming, warmth of the day.
It taught me everything I needed to know about life.
I watch the Wind bend it, people walk by it, the Sun nourish it.
I felt my lifetime spent in a moment, greeted by another moment.
The simplicity of it, and how it spends it's life on Earth inspired.
In the next moment, that moment gifted after this moment -
I blossomed, I flowered."

"Everything is Alive"

Los Angeles 2019: Small Blue Crowd

Colour is a word spelt many ways, 

in many languages.

Through it's emanations from the heart, 

the colour blind sense it's presence.

Color is spelt many ways 

as a word, in languages, many praise it.

It has the heart of woman.nations, 

it's presence gifts sense of sight.

Some stories in dreamscape are in monochrome.

Some dreamscapes story-tell in dimensional colour.

If planet Earth was operating on an autocorrect default setting,

We would miss the diversity of rhythms and hues randomly created.

I explore all the colours. 

I see rainbows expanding their visibility.

Colours grow dimensionally, 

as depth perception is self-cultivated.

The portal between consciousness awake, 

and asleep, is rawly coloured.

The many are the few, 

and the few are the many-facetted.
Containing our planet's polishing,
we are the surfaces of this cut gem.

We are the small blue crowd,
swimming oceans and skies of reflective light.

Sometime after 1941, Hayao Miyazaki wrote;

"Take root in the ground, 

live in harmony with the wind,

and rejoice with the birds in the coming of spring."

"No matter how many weapons you have,

no matter how great your technology might be,

the world cannot live without love."

London 2006: Crowded Alone

"Somewhere in the crowd stood a man alone.
His face expressed the century's old battle
of people leading their fate -
through the tides of change,
against an ocean of destiny.

This man, in the crowd, who stood alone
was not self-defeated, nor was he world weary.
His spirit was not worn away,
or cast down, nor downcast.
He was singing his own song.

This man wore a crown of one
who stands along the many roads less travelled -
highways traveled less by the multitudes
of feet wearing down the streets
from their feats of stepping over time.

Individuals walk through Life.
Pass through their individual walks of Life.
The transparency of living Life
is travelled by the few and by the many.
We all step over time, to pass the time.

We all visibly step over time, to invisibly pass the time.

To move through that time, to get into this time -
we must move time, to past time, to pass our time.

The gift of time is timeless, a temporary rift gifted
to each one of us on, experiencing this, timeline's gifts.
A temporal tear made by weaknesses in search of strength.
A time-storm is an unfamiliar time-lapse transporting the familiar, so all,
becomes one, time, transforming overfamiliar forms into unfamiliar uniforms.

The familiar becomes family to the unfamiliar.
The unfamiliar families a new life cycle which becomes familiar.

One timeless time-bound family
united by the ties and tides of time.
Each one of us is not alone in fate,
but individually wrapped
in singular experiences of destiny unfolding."

~~ Sometime after 1879, Albert Einstein said;
"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician.
I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music.
I see my life in terms of music …
Once you can accept the universe
as matter expanding into nothing that is something,
wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.”

Los Angeles 2018: Living in the Heart is what Really Matters

Women guard optimism.
Women conceive, 

gestate, incubate and birth 

optimism every nine minutes.

Bioregenerative 

symbiotic relationships,
are simple complex ways 

of bringing more life 

to live what is, 

to live what is 

already living.

Life to what is already living, 

and wants more life.

We generate relationships 

to all that is.
We live by breathing in 

the relationships of all 

to everything.
We are in coexistence, 

even before 

we are birthed (here).

To live, 

we are required to 

transform everything -
from oxygen to food 

to water to atoms,
everything universally 

naturally matters, 

moves and flows.

Everything multidimensionally 

lives simultaneously a

s every aspect.
Life, 

one of our superpowers, 

is evapotranspiration -
from within, 

we transport, 

a giving.

An inhale that gives, 

and an exhale 

that remakes 

the gift 

of giving life.

Teleporting from above 

to below to within to receive.
We give and receive

to help our self 

and each other's heart liberate.
Life transpires, 

it moves it spins 

on the breath 

that we inhale 

from each other.

Our continued breathing 

transports more optimism.
The only way through this life 

is to build a new life.
The only way through this world 

is to build a new world.

Each breath expands 

on what was 

previously given 

the breath of life.

Our roots, 

foundation and structure
are created 

with systematic optimism.
A system 

precisely aligned 

with kind hearts.

Kindness, 

as a value system, 

treasures -
a wealth 

of precise wisdom 

given to guide,
what is in 

the-heart-of-what-matters.

Kindness, 

as an innate organism, 

constantly self-reveals 
an personal archive 

of precise self-realization -
who that self-recognizes

becomes all that 

which self-determines.

That 'what' which lives-in-hearts,

becomes that 'what' which lives-in-matter.

What lives-in-the-matter 

does not necessarily live-in-the-heart.
What matters does not necessarily live in the heart.
What is living in the heart, is what really matters.

Living in the heart is what really matters.
Living in the heart really matters.
Living hearts matter.

Los Angeles 2017: Space Time Constant: Learning To Care For Each Other

We are all learning to care for each other.
I sometimes hear people say,
"What are we going to do with,
where are we going to put,
how are we going to treat;
our Elders, our orphans,
our unHoused, our protestors,
our veterans, our journalists,
our differently abled, our artists,
our migration borders, our refugees,
our homeland, our reservations,
our planet, our nature,
our insanity, our madness,
our children who are our future."

History will remember us
for what we will not imagine,
and what we will not do.
Perhaps way in the future
our children will be taught,
that thousands of years ago
lived some do gooders,
who came together to will more,
who united to create more together -
where there is will, there is a way.

People creating more support
is an emanation of more love.
To create more love,
each one of us chooses
to want more love.
To want more love,
each one of us chooses
to want more peace.
To create more peace,
each one of us chooses
to want more peace.
To want more peace,
each one of us chooses
to want more peace.

I often meditate on the value of more.
More that is not greed,
but more that is beyond greed.
Perhaps each one of us is designed
to first experience greed,
in order to experience lack.
Perhaps each one of us is designed
to first experience lack,
in order to experience fear.
Perhaps each one of us is designed
to first experience fear,
in order to experience survival.
Perhaps each one of us is designed
to first experience survival,
in order to experience the value of Life.
Perhaps each one of us is designed
to first experience Life
in order to experience death.
Perhaps each one of us is designed
to first experience death
in order to experience more Life.
Perhaps each one of us is designed
to experience more Life
in order to experience more firsts.

The space time constant is more,
but not necessarily of the same.
Time and space are not as constant
as everyday life would suggest.
The gravitational pull on the human heart,
beats slower for some and faster for others.

Time is not what we think it is,
our human bodies, such as they are,
are water based atomic clocks -
which on Earth run slower at Sea level,
and faster at on higher ground.

Time dilates traveling through Space,
one true constant is the speed of light.
Time can run faster or slower
depending on how high you are,
and how fast you travel.
Sit more and reduce your height.
Breath more deeply to increase fuel intake.
Be still more to slow your movement.

If each one of us is unique
then how can we come together?
Uniqueness powers individuality,
and diversity powers the mind.
Acceptance frees imagination,
and imagination creates more.

History will remember us
for what we imagined,
and for what we did.
Perhaps way in the future our children
will be inspired and taught
that thousands of years ago
lived some do gooders,
who united, together, created more.
Where there is will, there is a way,
where there is more will, there is way more."
