because you're not supposed to

Circle or Square?
Simple Questions
Simple Life
Let IT Be
and it will be
Pursue it with Passion
and it will LIVE
because
ultimately
you never know
where it will take you
it might be
someplace
you least
expected
but never
someplace
you don't
want
to
be
You can choose your state of brain
You really can
It it is a matter of will power
Do you have it in you?
To live with passion
To get out of your slump
To put down the remote
To stop reading this blog
and just LOVE what you do?
life spam:
those things in life that keep you
unfocused on what really matters
those things that you don't ask for
but seem to rob you of passion
those things that lead to
mediocrity and complacency
while you
begin to
accept
that
as
normal
passion is a reclamation
of what
matters
most
because you have
only
one
life
to
live...
...but if you live it right,
once
is
enough
by the way, j was passionate as he devoured those
sweet, sweet flapjacks.
enjoy passion, enjoy life

the number on the back of the juke box
temporarily suspended
our
thoughts
the number without
any answers
break it down any
way
you
want
7/8/61
toby keith was birthed
108 miners died in czechoslavakia
that was the sacrifice
made for
life
where
were
you?
were
you
even
alive?

the sounds
of
escape
an astroid
jfk...of course
1, 6, 8, 7

have you ever had a number
haunt
your
daydreams?

freedom

completely overused
to the point where
we
miss
it
but how can we miss it
when
it
is
blood
red
staring us in the face
when
it
is
blood
red
staring us in the face
exodus
leaving one way of life
in lieu
of
another
not the decision to leave
but the participation
in the journey
actively leaving behind
guilt
addictions
stress
slavery
chains
hurts
darkness
anger
confusion
shame
discontentment
lust
lust
brokenness
breaking through the gates of darkness
choosing to enter the land of light
we could just "open up" to freedom
or we could just live it
but all in all we need to accept it, choose it
be in control
but out of control enough to be free
because it's our choice
partially
or
wholly
will we allow ourselves to participate
in our own exodus?
because
we
are
all
going
somewhere
the land of milk and honey
because panera just is

peace
| 8:45 AM | 0 comments | Filed underpeace
so much more than just being free from conflict
the ancients had a word
shalome
being in utter
harmony
with God
in every aspect of our lives
seek it
find it
lose it
fight it
it is always on the move
we want it to stay
don't we all?
"my peace
is always moving
my peace
is swirling around my head
my peace
is constantly changing
my peace
is hanging by a thread"
simplicity is an outlet for peace
they go hand in hand
seemingly
usually
simple thought - commitment - contentment - peace
because
harmony
equals
freedom
because
freedom
equals
life
because
life
equals
hope
a shout out for captain larry....
enjoy shalome, enjoy life

simplicity
| 5:22 PM | 0 comments | Filed underdoodle be free
let the most simplistic thought be the start of the most beautiful idea
simplicity is what it is
but it isn't
it's
complex
which sucks
because it then becomes a battle of wills
"do I have the desire to own the essence of complexity?"
simplicty never equals laziness
simplicity is not a cop out
"paper menu: be something you are not meant
be a canvas to a mind needing tamed
be my touch of soothing air
soothing breeze
for all i need is an outlet for my art
at a time of intention"
"the soft harmony in spite of
our often complex lives as we
seek to
unfold
the divine breeze of
peace"
muzak
background noise
simplicity is reducing the muzak in our lives
to hear the divine voice
he is speaking the same words as he did
throughout time
can we hear what has been there
all
along?
by the way...
this is what we ate
enjoy simplicity, enjoy life
