We are not the same. I am a Martian.

The Line That Ties Me

The walls are talking and the only person who can hear me is nearly gone.
I stand by your bedside, on the edge of words
That I can't say, for the fear that I might fall.
Maybe I'm afraid that the pictures that I paint,
Won't capture the beauty of you.
And the last thing that you hear is the silence in your ears,
As I sink beneath the weight of it all.

Your smile as you wither, is as pretty as the picture,
You wouldn't sell to the lady next door.
You tell me music and art, it doesn't have a price,
It's for the heart, I should give it away,
Use it for the freedom of us all.

I could call you my lover, call you a beast,
Call you the island, where faith doesn't reach.
Call you a lion, call you a man,
You're the line that ties me to things.
I don't understand.

~ Julia Stone

like a true Nature's child,
we were born, born to be wild.

"Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything... whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."

I have no desire to live without challenge
I have only built up walls to tear them down
& only created fears to face them

inside my head, I dream,
outside the boundaries
of this life.

Don't let the little things of someone else's life
distract you from the big things of your own.

Essay on Man

All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst not see
All discord, harmony not understood,
All partial evil, universal good:
And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite,
One truth is clear, whatever is, is right.

~ Alexander Pope (1688-1744)

Coming Back to Life

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun

~ Pink Floyd

Hide & Seek

Hide your doubt and seek your ability
For one that hesitates will plant seeds in their negativity
And one that inspires will raise a garden full of colours
Hide your envy and seek your compassion
For one that resents will age with scowl and darkness
And one with kindness will grow with understanding and poise
Hide your fear and seek your courage
For one that panics will freeze in the midst of opportunity
And one that dares will feel the rush in the risk

Build yourself,
Create your being
to the best of your ability
& until your bullet hits the stars

Knock on the Sky
& Listen to the Sound...

Into the Wild

The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.

"The trip was to be an odyssey in the fullest sense of the word,
an epic journey that would change everything."

There is a way between voice and presence
where information flows...
In disciplined silence it opens,
with wandering talk it closes.

My Mask

my mask might trick you into beauty and into lust
may drag you into the depth of your trust
but what will you do,
when my mask turns to dust...
and all that's left is us?
- MF

Just don't seek from others,
Or you'll be far estranged from Self.
I now go on alone;
Everywhere I meet It:
It now is me; I now am It.
One must understand in this way
To merge with thusness.

~ Dongshan Liangjie (807-869)

Strangerous

I've given you enough time to read me,
So shut the book, give it a rest
I've given you enough time to study me,
Here's a pen and paper, write the test
I've given you all this time to love me,
Not to change me
Rearrange me
Become strange to me.
Not to leave me
But believe me
And see me,
For what I am.
