Bear

At a young age, my dad took me cabin camping in Yosemite. There were a lot of warning signs for bears, including the special “bear out” trash cans. I did not know what this meant, but when we all saw … Continue reading

“Purpose Determines Outcome”

We drove by a grocery store parking lot. I caught a glimpse of a shopping cart in the middle of one of the spots. My mind immediately went to “let’s pull over and move it out of the way.” Being … Continue reading

American Dream: Control

 There is a force field around me There is a grip on my thoughts There’s a chain holding my actions and my self-awareness lost It’s the sheep that keep me quiet The loneliness that keeps me tied Want so bad … Continue reading

Daughter: New Demo

FIRST HALF OF SONG – I first started writing these lyrics when I realized how imaginative and controlling I became with my jealousy towards my ex-girlfriend’s flirtatious ways. After writing the first few lines and going to bed, I had a … Continue reading

Reason

in being innocent we respond to being alive by trying to understand what is true and provide what is needed, and we never manipulate for advantage or control; primarily because we observe that both advantage and control are illusions, and do not exist in the reality of being a mortal human being
-Paul Hatherley

I roll around in circles ’cause I never learned to think.

So, I go to films and packs of friends, which push me into sync

With the world of cool that maps it out (the plan for everyday)

Until I lay in death to rest or earth just falls into decay.

We humans have amazing powers and one of which is reason.

We could satisfy our every need, so we’re aware of seasons.

But, this “task” is way too hard to begin to think it all through.

So instead of curing pain with conscious thought, here’s what we do

We try to cure the void of love with TV for distraction.

We watch our show and look at life if it were set and crafted.

We try our best to copy scripts and follow plans exactly

But, then manipulate the “love” we want while forming all the actors.

Now, life has turned into a “thing” which we know we can’t do

From the fact that life is changing and its telling us to move.

If we think for just one hour with no noise in our room

Not one person, or a phone that would interject through

This waking moment with ourselves, inside our thoughts and our feelings.

Maybe we will see the point I’m making is really for a reason.

Its the truth and our lives are not much happier this way

When we distract and fill our time with all these veggie filled days.

So, as I roll in these circles ’cause I never learned to think

I am learning.

And now I am finding all these little links.

With our reason, I am learning of myself and my dreams.

In every season, I’m learning different ways in which life speaks.

 

Life is an experience to be loved, lived, and learned

Not an object…to be controlled, crashed, and burned
