Steer into the pain

Pain does more than hurt

Hard lessons need strong teachers

Listen and accept

Pain steers into us

Teaches what we need to learn

Steer into the pain

Drawing in the mud

Synchronizing breath with blood

Frailness understood

Genes unravel time

Bifurcating memories

FIlling blood with us

Things becoming life

Making space for what cannot

Ancestors hold us

Consciousness alight

Free will is quite expensive

We are life itself

Atmospheric blood 

Longing for condensation

Soon we will be clouds

Integrating roots

Soil and stone and blood and bone

Distinguishing truths

Infinite knowledge

Cerebral plasticity

We become our minds

Weirdness overwhelms

Insanity seems the norm

No matter; just live.

Biometrics fail

Humanity squints and groans

Never knowing truth

Memories survive

Pieces of our existence

Recombine with clouds

Light disguised as time

Light disguised as time

Pictures search for memories

Lost inside a mind

Patterns overlap

Ideas produce more ideas

Time and space expand

Nature is motion

Telescopes are time machines

The past travels on

something from nothing

no evidence of purpose

nothing from something

Conditions counted

Circumstances coalesce

Cirrus clouds cackling

Gratitude yields time

Discernment without judgment

Heritable lives

What we are, we are

Belief is irrelevant

What will come, will come

Knowing bones and blood

Metastatic memories

Unresectable

most things won't add up

existence will not bleed out

choose a cause of death

Void of intention

Unknowing a consciousness

Most things can't be said

Behind the mirror

Vortices of consciousness

Edifying lives

Through and through we knew

Life searches for what is true

Hence the extra hue

Life is uncertain

Get some sunshine on your face

Soon we will be clouds

Minding mindless men

Masticated memories

Mutilating mist

It is what it is

It will never be the same

It ain't what it ain't

masochistic martyrs made

Erosion of bone

Given all that we could hold

Revisions of home

Self deluding self

Masochistic martyrs made

Killing to feel guilt

Knowing what we are

Identifying a need

Simplifying life

Presence in chaos

Expectations whirling by

Dreaming of the wind

Doubting consciousness

Given energy to rocks

They know what we are

Pain of existence

Vortices of nothingness

Egos crafting shields

Love and gratitude

What we feel is what we know

Do the things you are

Knowing in reverse

Bioarchaeology

Tracing mutagens

Distance versus time

Spaces between memories

Traveling in us

Interstitial space

Frozen but slowly thawing

Yielding minerals

Chaosticity

Given what we never earned

Earning what we know

May we find our truths

May we disengage from fear

May we dream in peace

sincere but not serious

Gone but not absent
Braiding and unraveling
Becoming rivers

dreaming is living
consciousness will come and go
breathing into time

Bifurcated hearts
Moving blood without intent
Empirical life

Learning is earning
In much wisdom is much grief
Striving after wind

Verifying light
Hallucinating a life
Falsifying time

circulating light
ebbs and flows of consciousness
tides yield no answers

experiences
sincere but not serious
living what we know

confronting the tides
evolving efficiency
synthesizing time

Consciousness alight
Most would rather learn than fight
Humanity lies

epigenetics
proximal abandonment
vulnerable minds

Fortifying hearts
Conscienceness of consciousness
Standing in our skin

all this, all that, all along

all i love Loves me

all i want will let me go

all i lose i keep

all i hear hears me

all i see i've never heard

all i keep i lose

all i do does not

all i feel begets my name

all these names are lies

all i touch touched me

all these nerves and bones are love

all this love is truth

all this truth is me

all i am i never was

all this all Is All.

all that hate fears me

all that fear lives within me

all that time is dead

all those moments rise

all that rises must condense

all that water bleeds

all that blood is love

all that Love mourns for our time

all those moments Feel

all that feels Can feel

all those feelings dislodge blocks

all that blocks can move

all that moves can dance

all those dances Remember

all that moves can block

all that Will will not

all that love and Will will not

all that god knows Is

all that knows is god

all God is Is Us and Them

all that knowledge burns.

all along we know

all we know we've learned to share

all along we've grown

all along it was

all it was, it was, It Was

all alone at war

all along it heals

all the wounds of triggers pulled

all along we knew

all the wars for time

all the time it always Is

all ways, all along

all along we laughed

all our laughter unearthed Light

all along it shone.

widening trenches

life cannot be owned
yet our lives can be rented
choose tenants wisely

must acknowledge truth
cannot hide behind the fear
all is transparent

Grief distills knowledge
Data has no desires
Knowledge forges grief

most facts will dissolve
most of what we know is wrong
only time will tell

blood cannot be held
life cascades through what is left
widening trenches

existence conspires
learning what we cannot know
launch me into space

egos are not men
what we are is who we are
flesh and blood and bone

confluence of time

all things in their time
we are virtues to patience
waiting for today

conscience arising
bodies giving birth to thought
language questions us

burning unknown fuel
unafraid to kill or die
ancestors forgive

justice eludes form
what is right will still be right
sans acknowledgement

Life cannot be owned
We participate in it
Earth facilitates

chasing ghosts with knives
what is imagined can't die
sympathy denied

gratitude for pain
we need more than we would choose
life is humongous

Most things are not real
Most things cannot be defined
Some things wish they were

intuition bled
aware of unawareness
dots connecting us

Growth implies movement
Movement implies perspective
It's good to be wrong

Scavenging for hope
Conscious efforts multiply
Everything connects

Eruptions of life
Satori in every cell
Zen can only point

convection of youth
particles participate
willing black to grey

thinking disorders
data cannot organize
vulnerable mind

what we've seen is truth
what we've done is everyone's
what we feel is ours

division of will
uplifting mechanisms
confluence of time
