The Steam of Misfortune

"The steam of my misfortunes
Has given me the power to be afraid

And in my mind I'm everyone."
~ Billy Corgan, Porcelina of the Vast Oceans


Now is the time
God has given us
To use our gifts.

This statement
Is not one of lording over (creation)
But surrender:

There is a kind of strength found in powerlessness.
The power to let go
is godlike
godgiven.
We create
Not by manipulating reality
But by giving in to creation.

It is from here that we live and die with everyone.

***

And on the ground
Away from all rationale,
I just love.
That's all.

A Time, Times, and Half a Time

Everything is impermanent...

...but man, it was awesome.
