Seeing beyond.
In our pain we see only ourselves
in our anger we see our pain
In our guilt we find our anger
In our inadeqacies we find our guilt.
Reaching inside inadquacies
Touch the hard prickly face of my guilt.
Soothing guilt with fiery anger
Reveal the soft pliable center of pain
cradling the heart's core of pain, finally,
is the true revelation of self.

""Male
is one form of phenomena, and female is a second form of phenomena; in
union they are together a third form of phenomena. But, paradoxically,
that third phenomena - Life - is in fact a unity, of which male and female
are merely component halves. Stated simply: The universe is the Two that
become Three, that is truly only One." - Jonathon Earl Bowser

Musings
October
Sometimes, life has a way
of teaching you things. Sometimes, it is things that you don't want to
learn.
Other times it is things that you already know,
or it is things that you need to know, and still other times, it is things
that you never dreamed you didn't know. It seems that wisdom
is both a mulpiplyer and a divider. The more I learn opens up entre
volumns, rooms full of things to still be discovered. When I feel
I have finally gotten to a point where I know something, it seems that
is the exact moment I realize that I actually have only found double of
the amount of things I do not any longer understand.
Don't get me wrong, that isn't necessarily a bad
thing. I sit and fold laundry, and reflect on each person's life
who wears that article currently under my hand. I wonder and reflect
on their choices, and mine. I consider their weaknesses, their pains
and their talents and successes. Somehow a tangible bit of soiled
clothing opens up worlds of curiosity.
Learning opens new worlds to us. It takes
the small boxes we believe we understand, and creates cubes and octogon's
and docahedrens. It erases misconceptions, but it then reminds us
of how much more there is to learn.
Sometimes I find myself wanting to know everyting.
THen, I consider my days without somethign to learn, and decide that I
only like the *thought* of knowing everything. I only like thinking
that it is somehow possible to one kday know all there is to know.
I don't ever really... want to know it.

Humor
A litle boy was waiting patiently in line
at a store with his mother. An older woman started up a conversation
with him. "Which isle did you like the best." "The toys." "Did
your mommy buy you something special?" "Not today." "My you have the most
beautiful eyes, where did you get them?"
Well the little one pondered a minute then
shrugged, "They came with my face."
