What is Love?

A haiku wanna be

An inside joke

A heart beating fast

A pink elephant 

waiting 

for a train 

to arrive

"The Story of My Life"

The Story of My Life by Ghazal 1419

i was ready to tell
the story of my life
but the ripple of tears and the
agony of my heart wouldn’t let
me

i began to stutter
saying a word here and there
and all along i felt
as tender as a crystal
ready to be shattered

in this stormy sea
we call life
all the big ships
come apart
board by board

how can i survive
riding a lonely
little boat
with no oars
and no arms

my boat did finally break
by the waves
and i broke free
as i tied myself
to a single board

though the panic is gone
i am now offended
why should i be so helpless
rising with one wave
and falling with the next

i don’t know
if i am
nonexistence
while i exist
but i know for sure
when i am
i am not
but
when i am not
then i am

now how can i be
a skeptic
about the
resurrection and
coming to life again

since in this world
i have many times
like my own imagination
died and
been born again

that is why
after a long agonizing life
as a hunter
i finally let go and got
hunted down and became free


Ghazal 1419

There's humor in this:

"We either
make ourselves miserable

or we make ourselves happy.

The amount of work 

is the same."

Carlos Castaneda

I just found this quote on this inspiring website: 

www.freewillastrology.com

Change

"It is because you want to change that you cannot change. The 43rd Shadow of Deafness is what  prevents you from hearing this simplest of truths. In this sense, deafness is the inability to hear what is going on inside you."

43rd Gene Key
From Richard Rudd's book:
"Gene Keys - Unlocking the Higher Purpose Hidden in Your DNA"

Timelessness

"The ironic thing about 

patience, 

though, 

is that it takes 

patience 

to learn 

patience!"

Richard Rudd - The Gene Keys
