Is anybody out there?

Greetings all on this warm day and the sun is certainly rising high already. I'm preparing for a few days at the Shakra Centre, ready to assist as best I can. Anyway, first up let's share the love and kudos with Anna, Jo and Rae for kindly taking the time to read my post and offering comments/shares.



What comes to me today is the aspect of well, talking to yourself. There are times when you put stuff together and send it out and your response is well, negligible. We live in odd times that's for sure. I can guarantee you now, if I were to put together a trippy video featuring a mouse singing I love vanilla ice cream on top of an erupting volcano it'd probably get quite a response. However, put together a few written words and it turns into t u m b l e w e e d moments.



This is the state of things right now and is this really for the better? It takes me back to 1984 and Nuspeak where the dumbing down of everyone takes place and it's on fast forward right now. When I look to our venal leaders gorging themselves on others misery and ready to cause total mayhem in the months ahead, you can't help think that something's very wrong. In the months ahead it's going to get ugly and I do see social strife, protests and crime on the way although I am always hopeful that things will change sooner rather than later.



At times, we will feel cut off, almost invisible whilst the world keeps on turning. I say to you then, keep going and keep faith with yourself. It can be hard and it's oh so easy to throw yourself down to the ground, give up, wither away and be forgotten. We've all had those moments and especially so at the moment. There is love our there for us all and if we can keep ourselves moving forward in whatever way is right for us. If you're on the ground, wondering why, then remember how far you've come and how far you will go. Sometimes though, we need a breather to stoke our energy and come again. We will prevail. Remember everyone, keep reading



Oh, and here's a surreal dystopian poem...





Uncast


I see a great pattern

To which I am part

Yet shield me from

Tremulous discord


Of all others

Sometimes, I wish

This wasn’t here

Or I never was


In this cold space lies

A vast vacuum

Who none ever knew

Except as dead sense


Gone, in a moment

Of eternal deletion

Backspace, no space

Who is O?


Omnipotence spirals

Devouring, instigating choirs

Of apathetic dissonance

I am nought?


A zero, inconsequential

To fold, unravel

In a slither of obedience

In dismal piety


Wish removal?

Never.

To the bindwall

I will go.


That’s it, sweet Zee

Of binary vision

Stay in the satin

Of unctuous skulls


Where I sought

A calm freedom

Now perceive

I am aberrant


The sanctity of death

Will cast me

To them again

In a curse of creation


Reinstated.
