Totality

   You look around me
You look above
You do not see me
You  can’t feel my love
I tried to show you
I’m getting older
You look for
Something new
I tried to tell you
It’s over
I am 
Unglued

My Own Hands

-
      It has been quite the journey to accept what I am.        At first, I tried to hide it so as not to offend anyone.  I figured I could influence others by camouflaging myself in an ostensibly spiritual garment; however, I've bumped into a wall.  I am an atheist.  For years, my nose has been pressing up the window pane of my Self trying to fit into a certain mold.  But why would they insist?  Why would they care save for some comfort?  With the premise that belief is the absence of knowing or else it wouldn't be belief, it must be that my apparent faith brought comfort to those around me.  So, while I subscribed to living a lie to myself, it seems that in a way I was living a lie for others.     And offending?  I don't know why I was ever so concerned with offending anybody.  Over the past years, just a glance at social media feeds and it isn't hard to discern how the self-proclaimed righteous ...

How Did I Get Here?

WHAT HAPPENED ? When I have discussions with religious individuals who knew me when I was “sold out”, I get responses such as, “I know that deep down you still believe in Him but you are angry.  He’ll be waiting for you”.  This “anger problem” is a common motif.  If I reply that I am happy, the response is sometimes in the vein of this:  “I’m sure given you are living in the ways of man.”  Isn’t it ironic?  I can’t be angry and I can’t be happy.  The most recent individual I held a discussion with asked me, “What happened?”  While it’s difficult to see life through the rear-view mirror (given that our memory is far more shoddy than we would like to contend), I will do what I can to analyze the existential vicissitudes within the deep corners of my mind.  But, to enter this rabbit hole, I must examine the problem of anger and happiness which I propose are governed by wants and fears. These hang in the balance with Peace at the fulcrum. It is ...

Progressions, Dimensions, & Dilemmas

  A BRIEF REFLECTION       The evolving mind is faced with the most scathing inquiry that inexorably nags and claws:  what shall I do with things I have written prior?  A gloss over my other blogs would grant the casual eye to witness a man running the gambit from being inundated with fervor for religiosity to one dancing on the “other side”.  If my views are now lacking in reverence,  should it be that I must scrap the old?  “To thine own self be true”.   Is it not so that who I am in actuality at this very position in time and space is an amalgamation of all the forward progressions of my past?  How then must I disregard who I was?  It has always been on my mind to put out my life’s journey:  how I came from point A to point B.  Were I too concerned with those who might disagree with me at any moment, there’d be no drive within my being to write.  For the most part, I do this for myself with the curiosity that ...
