Who are you who live in all these many forms? You're death that captures all.
You too are the source of
all
that's glaze be born. You're glory, mercy, peace, truth. You give calm a
spirit, understanding,
courage, the contented heart.
Why should I be afraid to die? I belong to you. If I go first, I'll wait for
you there. On the other side of
the dark waters.
Be with me now.
Maybe all men got one big soul where everybody's a part of. All faces are
the same man, one big self.
Everyone looking for salvation by himself. Each like a coal drawn from the fire.
We. We together. One being. Flow together like water. Till
I can't tell you from me. I drink you. Now.
Now.
This great evil--where'd it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What
seed, what root did it grow
from? Who's doing
this? Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight
of what
we might of known? Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to
grow and the sun to shine? Is this
darkness in you too? Have you passed through this night?
Are you righteous, kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by
all? Know that I was, too.
Do you imagine your sufferings will be less because you loved goodness, truth?
Love--where does it come from? Who lit this flame in us? No war can put it
out, conquer it. I was a
prisoner. You set me free.
One man looks at a dying bird and thinks there's nothing but unanswered
pain. That death's got the
final
word, it's laughing at him. Another man sees that same bird, feels the glory, feels
something
smiling through it.
Who were you that I lived with, walked with? The brother,
the friend? Strife and love, darkness and
light--are they
the workings of one mind, features of the same face? Oh my soul. Let me be in
you now.
Look out through my eyes. Look out at the things you made. All
things shining.
What's this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself? The
land contend with the sea?
Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power but two?
I remember
my mother when she was dying, she was all shrunk up and grey. I asked her if
she was
afraid, she shook her head no. I was afraid to touch the death I seen in her. I
couldn't find nothing
beautiful or uplifting about her going back to God.
I wondered
what it'd be like when I died, to know that this was the last breath you was ever going to
draw.
I just hoped I could meet it with the same calm she did. Cause
that's where it's hidden. The
immortality I hadn't seen.
They want you dead or in their lie. Only one thing
a man can do. Find something that's his.
Make an island for himself.
If I never meet you in this
life, let me feel the lack.
A glance from your eyes and my
life will be yours.
Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow,
What are you weaving? labor and sorrow?
Look to your loom again, faster and faster
Fly the great shuttles prepared by the Master.
There’s life in the loom! Room for it, room!
How do you keep the one you love?
You don't. Love is an unselfish giving
emotion. It’s not a selfish act.
If you truly love them , then you have no desire to
keep them. Because to keep someone is a selfish act.
the older you get, the harder it is to run away from everything .. "they torture and scare you for 20 odd years, and then they expect you to pick a career"..
it makes you think how difficult it is to escape now.. but
escape you must, for life whisks you away on a factory conveyor belt, carrying
you
through education and training, until
you're 30, with a stable job and 1.6 kids and a house in the suburbs.
and people try to hide from it, by going out every friday and getting drunk or stoned, but it's all the same, and sooner or later .. .. you'll end up the same.
because
you can't just hide yourself away, you need to actually fall off the conveyor
belt, even though you know how much that's going to hurt. The feeling of not
knowing what to do may be unbearable.
so people
take exams they don't want to do, in order to get jobs that they don't want to
get, all because they want
"a quiet life,
a handshake ...
no alarms
no surprises"..,
they want to be part
of this vacant society that we live in, the society that 95 per cent of people
live in
without questioning,
without thinking they can escape from..
the message is escape
now, whilst you are young, whilst you are unattached.. there
are people like you, who have seen
through the emptiness of
the everyday.. alone
together, anything
is possible..
a distant figure, but running closer and closer as she
watched. happiness dissolved her
troubles. she finally
saw...
How could we lose soo
much of our dream? Where did it all go to.
Did we pass it on to others.
Filtering out of us like an hourglass.
Embrace what little you find .
It will leave. It always leaves.
