You are a thinking, like me, a searcher after truth, maybe it is time wasted, going round and round in circles like a guinea pig on a wheel. maybe not. maybe this thinking is worthwhile. it will lead you to make dramatic discoveries about your self and this life. either way it is painful. it can drive you mad with distraction, or else, worse, to inertia and nothingness. the ancients had ways and means of dealing with the emptiness. they had shamans, and gods, chanting and drumming. today we have drink and drugs, shopping and tv. the emptiness is both within and without. i think it's important to find your own meaning. search for answers where you least expect to find them. delve deeper into the ancient and the mystical. but don't forget to play too. lightness is fun to explore, yin and yang. balance is the key. the problem in this life, in our culture, is that we have no real respect for this type of thinking. if it's not about making money, it's not regarded as important. that leaves us 'thinkers' on our own. without grounding, without support. in other cultures we may have been regarded as seers, shamans, or wise folk. and people may have sought us out for advice. instead in this world of capitalism and consumer culture we are cast adrift. alone. to figure it all out. that's what can drive you mad. you call to be 'found' by someone is perfectly normal. i feel the same. you will find someone... or else they will find you. peace I found you too.

You are a thinking, like me, a searcher after truth, maybe it is time wasted, going round and round in circles like a guinea pig on a wheel. maybe not. maybe this thinking is worthwhile. it will lead you to make dramatic discoveries about your self and this life. either way it is painful. it can drive you mad with distraction, or else, worse, to inertia and nothingness. the ancients had ways and means of dealing with the emptiness. they had shamans, and gods, chanting and drumming. today we have drink and drugs, shopping and tv. the emptiness is both within and without.

i think it’s important to find your own meaning. search for answers where you least expect to find them. delve deeper into the ancient and the mystical. but don’t forget to play too. lightness is fun to explore, yin and yang. balance is the key.

the problem in this life, in our culture, is that we have no real respect for this type of thinking. if it’s not about making money, it’s not regarded as important. that leaves us ‘thinkers’ on our own. without grounding, without support. in other cultures we may have been regarded as seers, shamans, or wise folk. and people may have sought us out for advice. instead in this world of capitalism and consumer culture we are cast adrift. alone. to figure it all out. that’s what can drive you mad.

you call to be ‘found’ by someone is perfectly normal. i feel the same. you will find someone… or else they will find you.

peace

Good poem. And how's that ulcer treating you?? Drink some milk, I hear it's soothing. I love “give your heart to a stranger” and “the pieces fall, they haven’t cut me yet.” Good poem.

You'll figure it, whatever "it" is out. At least you know you're a writer. I know that. Well, I don’t know if I found you, but I totally found your blog, and I enjoy reading it.
