Remember how to forget;
grasp how to let go.
Poetry isn't written:
                                                        ­                                    
Words are written,
and Poetry is read.
Drop selfish ideas
of what should be,
and seek to accept
what is.

One may find
One obstructs and occludes One's Self,
and thereafter may One find peace
in each and every day.
Just because
it's not the thing for you
doesn't mean
that those who like it
are wrong.

To be e'er so militant
about what others should and shouldn't do
is akin to enslaving minds;
sacrificing their divine right to free will:
what sadistic demon possesses you?

Some people like coffee,
and some people drink tea,
some people drop LSD
and some smoke peyote;

I think it's all well and good
if you know who you are;
what you enjoy and cherish
may not be the thing for me.

I've said it before,
but, one more time:
To each his own,
but I'm ******* keeping mine.
Denying all indulgence
is no different from
accepting all indulgence:

Moderation is key,
when it comes to indulgence
as well as abstinence.
In an absolute value sort of way, they are symmetrical.
Seek the middle path.
If you meet people in your dreams,
ask them their names and
favorite color, favorite number, birthday, etc.
and also try to take note
of the names of the places you encounter.

For they are all parts of your Mind;
figments of your imagination
or, perchance,
genuine astral experiences.

I wonder what could be learned
from such mysterious rendezvous.
I know I've written music that I heard in a dream. I like it. It pushes my bounds of familiarity while still being wholly of my own creation.
Be not a slave to the ways
in which things have been done,
but, rather,
take charge of the ways
in which things could be done.
The only thing
that is more important
than learning from History
is making History.
Women
can endure childbirth,
yet some Men call them
'the weaker ***.'

How arrogant!

Even still,
Women who opt
to be sexist in return
be no better:

Yin and Yang
are interdependent.
Written on a napkin at work.
What have you accomplished today?

If the answer eludes you,
perhaps you burn too much Life
without really going anywhere
with such precious fuel.

Seek that each and every day
you better your future Self
by shedding your Past Self
and metamorphosing.
One,
who cannot handle
their opinions being questioned,
most likely hasn't derived them independently.
Being bad at something
is the first step towards
being good at something.
T'is not about getting Opportunities, Chances, and Time,
t'is a matter of taking Opportunities, Chances and Time:

To await them is to forgo them.
