Being nice can reduce everyday friction with people who are acting in good faith but it does nothing against someone whose real problem is that you bring awareness to the things they would rather avoid. You can be calm, careful, generous, precise, and compassionate, and they will still not like it if the truth threatens their self-image, control, convenience, or access. Then thoughtfulness gives them more room to cloud […]

In the dark i am the lightTo anyone who loses their mindTo only see what they seeFree from pain and misery From that lightThat burns the eyesLives the truthWith nowhere to hide But the darkThat was always thereWaits for no oneWith nothing to share
Space is the stage of extension, but time is the dimension of unfolding/change. Space alone is not the full reality. Time is what makes reality a process instead of just a layout. An equation can exist as a whole structure all at once: given this, relating to that, under these conditions, this is what follows but we don’t experience the whole equation at once. We have to move through […]
They hid themselves in the language of goodness while letting cruelty and othering happen. They mishandled things that should have been basic integrity. They had the language of regulation, mindfulness, accountability, nonjudgment, effectiveness… then they behaved in ways that were mindless, ego-protective, invalidating, and harmful. They doled out harm while claiming to be the kind of people or system that should know better, while using values-language to protect them, […]
We keep thinking our current view of things is the structure of reality and the universe itself and how things just are. We get taught and come up with myths, categories, labels, and certainty because they help us orient but then we get arrogant and start forcing those views as the final, absolute truth instead of just temporary and provisional. Then when some new point of view comes along […]
reality is not the enemy of imagination if reality itself doesn’t move, then the fantasy eventually hits a wall
Sometimes there’s a deep, very old craving for someone’s love, approval, and understanding. There can also be a long history of getting little hits of love that was mixed with manipulation and invalidation. Then it trained a body and mind that remembers the high and the crash that even today still sometimes wonders if one more hit will finally be the good one. When we crave their love but […]
Where is the part where one breaksIt’s the part that makes you feelThat the fog has liftedAnd all that it revealsAnd what do you do when you arrive to the truth?Do you take it onAnd make it work in a way for you?Or do you fall and let go of all the threadsOr do you build cages all around you instead?
I am a dreamer. I like to sit and look out the window early in the morning while the noise of everything around me still sleeps I like looking out the window and seeing the soft light of the sun, the clouds, and the smell of fresh morning air And from there, my heart, mind, and soul wanders off into the silence and dreams I only think about the […]
He’s attacking me. No one’s in the room but the two of us. He has a gun. And I have my HANDS. He’s right in front of me now. He’s gonna pull the trigger… I grab the gun. I got it! I can’t believe I did that. I point the gun at him. I shoot him. He lies down on the bed in the corner of the room. I […]
I have such a wonderful thoughtDancing around my headIs it something to write aboutSomething worth to be shared I cling on to the thoughtWith all my mightForcing it to stayTill I get on through the night Hoping it would lastAnd find its way on a bookNot like the other thoughts I hadOne minute was all it took Now I grasp clearlyAnd hold it close to my heartBut now it’s […]
Now I know where I standAnd the waiting has stopped for meI am now once again in a heavy landI knew that misery soon would soon be
Pinangarap ko ang kaligayahanNa alam kong magkakatotooNgunit sa aking puso ay may pagasaNa parang bituing kumikislapSa puso ko’y ito’y mananatiliHanggang ako’y lumipas na
Sometimes I screamI scream so hardAnd wait for someone who’ll hearBut everytime I waitNo one comes to save meMy screams are little tearsMy little tearsWhich I hold so dearlyThese tears are diamondsBut only I notice thatSo I am aloneWith no one to shareThese diamonds with
Eyes that reflect the soul of oneEyes that show the madness beyondEyes that shed diamonds of a remorseful godEyes that smile when goodness is doneEyes that spread happiness and loveEyes that believe everythingWill be alright when all is gone
When would peace come?Why do we get confused?Why do we think that evil is good?Some don’t understandAnd can not tell apartGood and evil…What is really in our hearts?As long as there is war…All of us will dieSome will die in terrorSome will follow the light.
