suffering is neither just nor unjust

as it is only another facet of this reality

it is as real to all of us

as our hunger and thirst

it challenges our love

brings us to the level of human

stares us in the face wanting

brings us to our knees

it provokes the real

offends the façade

destroys the self

or the self destroys itself

it begs for hope

in the face of despair

blind to what we all see

what is the true need?

what is fair

if we all deserve what we don’t receive?

what is gained

if we had nothing and gave it all away?

Do no(sic) lose this ability.”

beauty is all around

in the lost and in the found

the suffering are a beacon of beauty

in pain

the extraordinary is exposed

revealing great beauty

or great ugliness

it is the ordinary that carry the greatest gems

The claim is that all is true, but if all is true then none is true for truth can not be a lie. Lies exist all around us and within us. Lies exist and that is the truth. Lies and deception muddy the waters of thought and reason.

It goes beyond that. Truth is beyond us. We can not define truth like we can not alter the physical laws that define the nature of our reality. Even our understanding is ultimately bound by our perceptions.

It is easy to accept, but difficult to choose.

The truth demands acknowledgment of untruth.

Today I cleaned out those years of posts and left one. “When you find your true heart, you find your true art.” That is where I feel I am. My book is out. At least the first version of it. Many things are changing in my life. Most of them difficult, but ultimately good. I will post. I don’t know who will read. I suppose it doesn’t matter. This is a public window.
