When you have been looking for love in all the wrong places it is at once a relief and a frustrating annoyance to realize it has been following you around within your line of sight, within arms reach. A coming of age story in the vein of "If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell".
poignant, seamless, effortless, endearing
keep real. m
When you are looking for something it must be assumed that it is lost before it can be found. I lost my mind just as I retired from the world of work; a little furry furious thing without a tale, that was nimble on its feet and so quiet it was difficult to track. I lost myself in an adventure once but the GPS in my satellite phone brought cavalry.
profound.
keep smoking. m
The Desterata's reflection sends its message to the young or young at heart knowing the told will soon be old wishing they had lived. Direction and purpose must have momentum and perspective for those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
confident with selfesteem.
keep being. m
A man in the twilight zone, who knows the price of a list but not the value of throwing it away picks up another's discarded memo with everything crossed off except the last thing on the page. It reads "Live as if there were no future, love as if there were no past, hold onto this gift of the present, for it goes bye so fast." Having order is most times more important to an Alex than having command for it might demand greater strengths and stronger wills from those that do not share its dark affinities.
bitingly ambivalent.
keep compiling m
Cholmsky said it best when he wrote "The United States is run by a bunch of control freaks who are at best hypocrites and at worst criminals who's arrogance is exceeded only by their mendacity." As to them following the Constitution in letter or spirit, I wish. At some point there should be enough who realize that a plurality is not a democracy.
until then.
keep voting. m
ABBA is singing in the background a song that gets stuck in your head "Take a chance on me." Words that have no power on their own, have no effect except when read but when put to music send the message, we surrender to the entropy of the dice.
keep rolling. m
Among the first imperatives, air, water and food, the first priority to breathe is often automatically taken for granted. After diving into deep water it is only when finally coming to the surface that we remember why it is so important to wait before exhaling.
freedom so close and yet so far away.
keep breathing. m
Freeform is as difficult to read as life is difficult to live as the message and the medium merge, randomly punctuated on the page. There are no absolutes but one, everything dies, the truth in the message being that this time we are given, as much as might be comedy in not rehearsal.
reflective introspection.
keep perspecting. m
Live as if there were no future, love as if there were no past, and hold unto the present moment tightly for it goes bye so fast. While we are what we remember it doesn't hurt to write it down so that someone sometime might read it slowly and aloud. They say you are alive as long as another speaks your name or reads your stories.
blowing on embers and kindling.
keep jotting. m
A child's rhyme that is not likely to induce the little ones to bed but reduce them to cowering under the covers instead and of course waking their parental units in the middle of the night. A rollercoaster ride that can be safe and still a fright.
keep worrying. m
Do not think that a plurality is a democracy but know that we have surrendered control of our lives to a bunch of control freaks who realized long ago that if they keep us busy chasing the law of insufficient supply and manufactured demand we would have no time left for the search for simplicity.
enlightening.
keep it simple. m
The powers that be the status quo hold such sway over the media and the message it projects that we begin at some point to anticipate the siren song it sings as if it were our unfilled longing that we were listening too. With roots we realize that "we are what we remember" with wings we realize that "we can be what we imagine."
lucid reflection.
keep licking. m
When taking a leap of faith without perspective, the unexpected consequences of best intentions can leave you transparent without either reflection or shadow. While we project what we expect upon our anticipation of the moment as it approaches, it goes by so fast and we find we cannot be alive without our darkside.
whimsically articulate.
keep defining. m
While misery adores company, it loves attention even more for it is tantalized that it might be the focus and the only thing to focus on. It lives to cry upon the stage, it cries to live there in a circular simple logic for which there is no return. It feeds to grow, it grows to feed, it has no other need.
immersing
keep questioning. m
It is disconcerting to think that teenage angst could become as contagious as it is chaotic in its selfabsorbtion. Or that it could at the height of its white hot entropy be quenched and tempered, frozen forever and fragile in a state of resilient confidence.
The song sings "She will survive".
keep involving. m
While mixing metaphors can be as confusing as mixing religious messages, when thrown in with anecdotal allegories the result can be a baker's mystery. Self destructive behaviour has darkside associations which usually sing a siren's song to call out our unfilled longings.
gripping.
keep calling. m
Intimacy gives fine detail enough to see the worry lines, distance in either space or time gives perspective. Intimacy's experience when given the understanding the journey entails, tells us "if what we struggle with does not kill us, it will only make us stronger.
everything changes.
keep detailing. m
It must alight and stay or leave of its own accord for freedom is part of its resilience and fragility. The power of a wild flower is in its ability to find on the wing direction and purpose while the observer must fight the urge to close the hand it sits upon before it continues on its journey. Sometimes it hurts as much to hold a thing as to let it go.
allegorical.
keep drinking. m
The sleepy coloured edges of its description tells you that you are welcome to the fire that melts away the unravelled threads and unwanted threats. The unfocussed stillness surrounding the flame both warm both the body and the mind to surrender to its softness.

While the powers that be the status quo might be able to call the tune we dance to by paying the piper, there are those that do not dance. The told are soon old, wishing they had listened. "Happiness is doing whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it" , and time is all that you are given. While money may not be able to buy happiness, when distilled, it can often buy you the "time" you need to explore it.
good timing.
keep ranting. m
"God Grant Me The Serenity
To Accept The Things I Cannot Change
The Courage To Change The Things I Can
And The Wisdom To Know The Difference"
Even worse than that one could choose to just drift along without momentum's purpose or direction.

"If something gets in your way, go around it", and when you are on the other side you can turn around and look back at it from an entirely different perspective. Strategy and agenda requires priorities rather than imperatives though the very young are not bound as much as determined by protocols.

Whether time is the ultimate watcher may depend on further observation to see the full extent of its involvement in the slavery of modern man. Whether it is callous or indifferent is yet to be determined for though a companion born to mischief, the malice of intent may ultimately be found to be our own projection.

Aside from "whatever doesn't kill only makes you stronger", as long as you are not injured in the struggle, one can always hope that when the old man made his will out he left it all to you. One is left to wonder if that's the force of will or the gift of chance.

My sister has a pair of twins who are an asymmetry of polar opposites so I have an inkling of the dynamics involved in such a set of siblings. Like words have a connotation and a denotation, circumstances have the same problem of misconstrued meanings as evidenced by your tale of two sisters. One should always take or make the time for a second sober thought.
