My Brother...You are Right...Even when You are Wrong...

 My Brother...You are Right...Even when You are Wrong...




(Written 12/19/2014)


Yesterday...we had a long, long talk on the phone...

you were drunk, as usual...good humoring required...

the person is present...mind is no longer home...

alcohol is poison in the brain...neurons fire

at a far lowered rate...thoughts arrive late...soon gone...


Like father...like son...is your tragic legacy...

your life...like driftwood...that never washes ashore...

illusions of the past...your present lunacy...

can never get enough whiskey...always need more...

a son's life lost...daughter's rejection...sad to see...


Your first words to me were..."The search is now full on!"

I asked you what that means...you began to explain...

overt advances toward a woman were wrong... 

she soon rejected you and that drives you insane...

"how can she reject this manly man?" same tired song...


Some men and women are so fearful to live life...

they become obsessed with romantic love...the test...

to prove their manhood or womanhood...not alive...

without sexual fulfillment...romantic love's zest...

in routines...romantic love lost...over time...


And so a young man, close, feels for your sorry plight...

and tells you he is going to find you a new love...

one that will make you feel like a man day and night...

"one" that will fit onto your life like hand in glove...

as the woman sees you...you are a sorry sight...


Sixty-two going on eighty-five...thin as a rail...

fifty years of smoking and drinking...takes its toll...

soon you will be confined to a chair...watch health fail...

sense you will soon be one more marker on the knoll...

yet there is much good in you...behind the dark veil...


My brother...you are right...even when you are wrong...

enjoy your life...what is left...of eventide's song...

you will not change, now, what you never understood...

to your very end...into sunset...drifting wood...

You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind | Any Questions?

 you are the victim of your own mind You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind  Any Questions? Victimization by Others vs. Self-victimization Is there a point where early victimization (by others) in childhood is no longer other-victimization but self-victimization? At what age could this be said to be true? Being victimized by parents (one or both), by foster parents (one or both), by a step-dad or step-mom (or both), an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, etc. begins a life-long tragedy of suffering in the mind of the victimized individual. But when the victimization by another or others stops (for whatever reason), at what point do you continue on in self-victimization , when you are old enough to make a different choice? The answer is likely that of personal choices to grow or to not grow in soul-awareness. In my own experience, it took until 29 years of age to make a different choice--a soul-conscious choice to no longer victimize myself and start down the path to healing. It took 11 more years b

Is Heaven on Earth Fiction or a Possibility?

 is heaven on earth Is Heaven on Earth  Fiction or a Possibility? Questions Are the "Keys" to "Unlock" the Mysteries of the Universe Inside YOU! Do you ever get that eerie feeling that "the more things change the more they stay the same?" Perhaps you have never even thought about this?  So many individuals are born, live, and die without ever questioning much of anything. Are you one of such unquestioning individuals?  Are you with me--aware that I've already asked four questions and haven't even really begun this article, yet?  Why do you suppose it is that you rarely, if ever ask any questions, and I ask questions almost continually? Could the difference be that in your perception your be LIE f system the asking of questions is " not allowed? " And the reason I may freely ask question after question is because I chose and choose to "allow" myself to ask any and all questions? Is Heaven on Earth a Conceptual Fiction? If this q
