Do you have a Soul, or are you a spirit imitating someone with a Soul?

Energy can not be created or destroyed
Only transferred
Or so they say
I have a conscious
I have a perceived reality therefore I do exist as energy
If you want to refer to my soul as energy, so be it
Because I am here, I am real
I have thought, I have the ability to initiate actions
I can reason, I can solve, I can explain
I have feelings, I have emotions
I experience a world filled with consequences and circumstances
There is no imitating or pretending, I perceive my energy bounded by my flesh therefore I am energized flesh
The soil beneath my feet, the air that animates my blood...
I experience it, I feel it...I live it

I am me

Sweet Love

Cool and calculating
Soft, yet delicate
Precise
Like a quiet slice
Calming
Finding peace
Opening my soul
Exposing my essence
Creating my solace
Sharing with the world
What I hold to myself
I
am
One
with
my
Red
I die bye my sword
Because
that is where my piece finds me

Time

ceases to exist 

when we embrace

As if 

my 

d i v i d e d 

soul 

once again 

becomes 

whole

In a world
that is constantly

c h a n g i n g

It's where
I found my peace

When we became one

And in its infinite oceans of eternity
It all came to a halt
As we merged into us

She

Is

Water

Love Letters to Kristin

Once Upon A Time, in my immediate future I got the News...the Really big news that I have a destiny to fulfill in Nepal.

Funny story on how I am being beckoned to go to Nepal.  The eldest sister Neo (she's like a humble version of the superhero from The Matrix) ran into a psychic she knows while she was out and about in a market place.  The psychic (they always correct me by saying that it's their spiritual adviser) told her that she needs to get to Nepal ASAP.
Now, here is a little backstory on my lady friend and her entire family....they are a bunch of germaphobe hypochondriacs who have sworn off ever going to India or any immediate neighboring countries.
Neo's immediate response was,
"But I had wanted to go to germany?"
Her psychic told her "No, you're going to Nepal....first...and then at some later time you can visit Germany."
So, it's been told therefore she will adhere to the Devine voice of her conduit...Nepal it is!

Here is where I come in (and don't you worry I will be going....and I am the only person who is looking forward to whatever chaos....god I love that word...comes our way).  I had a sit down with the sisters this past weekend and I quickly came to the realization that they have no clue where they are going nor do they have any idea of what to do once when they get there.  I don't even think that lady Mei Lay could point to Nepal on a Map...or a globe...maybe with a little GPS with a tad bit of sass.

I take a deep breathe and I start walking them through from their first step here in the New York up to the initial destination of Lumbini, Nepal. (There looks to be a strong potential for subsequent destinations that hold religious significance.
I should mention that they are devout Buddhists and they are doing this on the premise that it will be a pilgrimage...in hopes of spiritually elevating their samsara.
Personally, I am not religious....but I do have a strong sense of curiosity to fabrics of all religious observations (you can throw in Myths, superstitions and folklores).  I have always considered myself spiritually connected to the ways of humanity and the dimension it exists in.

I am leaning towards endorsing they consider some sort of small tour group that focuses on retracing Buddha's steps.  It would be a bit more adventurous if I plan out some kind of personalized  set of destinations...but having to travel with them under time constraints, there is no room for error.  Getting lost or ill is not on the to do list...as fun as that may be on the other side of the world.
Don't forget, I do root for chaos!
After Thinking this through, they are going to need a solid sense of direction and purpose....otherwise, they just might get lost in a maniac mesh of mayhem.

Ce Domage as the French tend to say.

Au Revoir and Viva Nepal

Mission Towards Light

My voice may have gone virtually silent, but I assure you that I have not been inhibited in sharing my thoughts, opinions and whatever pseudo-wisdom I may believe to be inherent to my being.  In other words, spoken word has been my choice of communication with my select audience.  I do apologize for not sharing all that I have shared during this time.
With that said, lets dip into the delicious avenues of requisite insight that could potentially pave a path to enlightenment...being that I am being beckon to a birth place of sapience.
First off, fire within creates the light for the vision necessary to see beyond the immediate me.  The immediate me is predominately fed by ego.  Light will never come from anything beyond the me.  If light does appear from anywhere other than the me...well, that is not true light...that is more of a hungry mind looking for a world and only finding shadows created by a false sense of creadance.
Second, owning it does not mean you know how to harness it.
It being the fire that lights.
Learning what to do with it, might be just as difficult as knowing where to find it.
Wait,
I'm confused.
Aren't we all?
Yes, sorting through the confusion is a big part of the journey.  Confusion creates wayward paths.  Wayward paths make circles much how dogs chase tails.
Why so much confusion?
Because the Ego is a house of pride (with prejudice), in the midst of an angry storm intent on fighting the primal world for eternal survival.  With pride comes vice, skewing direction and orientation. Hence, how so many can and will lose their way.
I call them distractions.  Emotions that illicit precise reactions that cause one to deviate off their path.
By...the...way...not all paths lead to the same destination.
Distractions can be things that motivate us to sit still on our path.
Distractions are behaviors that wreak havoc in our our path and strangle us with chaos.
How, do I love...love...love...do we all...love our chaos.
Chaos creates the natural order.
Funny, how chaos has order.
And it's an order of destruction.
Don't forget, we all came from chaos.
I find only those ready to look for fire can find fire if they eliminate distractions and resist falling victim to their Ego.  Ego is what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom.  The world around us has instinct for survival instead of ego.  If they create an ego, it might put them on a fast track to extinction.
Oh my, the othe E word.
Ego and Extinction are two in one...because without one, you will not get the other.

May I make one final point?

Everything in life is overrated, except life itself which is often taken for granted.

Self Love

Oysters are the gem guardians of our planet.  A rigid shell shields its treasures from the Wolful appetite of an unforgiving global quest for all exotic beauties.
Anything in its path gets consumed solely for pleasure, vanity and ego.
The pitfall of superficial transparency.
A unique luster that's contingent upon reflection, refraction and diffraction of light via all its translucent layers.
The thinner and more numerous the layers, the finer the luster...creating an iridescence emitted from all these concentric layers that break up light on its smooth and silky surface.
Rare and extradinairy color patters are singular to each Pearl...exuding an all inclusive individualistic beauty.

In this paradox we call life,
Fixing old problems may not be as good as starting over in order to Find the right way.
Focus on what we can control by using our positive attitude, strong faith and mindful perspective.
Remember....We choose how we perceive each and every situation that comes our way...

After all,
An oyster that was not injured will never produce a pearl...because a Pearl is a wound that has healed.
Beautiful and individualistic.

Fairy Tail Endings

Don't get angry, it's not worth the emotional expenditure...plus, anger is a counter productive emotion!  No one, except anger benefits from anger.

Instead, 

I say get even while entertaining yourself...

Wouldn't it be funny, since you were right there front and center, if you tapped the woman on the shoulder and asked her "are you single?  Cause my boyfriend finds you hot, and he's even sucking his belly for you."

I wonder how all that would go from there.

Inquiring minds want to know. Oh, Wow...wow.

Who dat?

Best case scenario, you guys get a sugar momma!

Worst case scenario, everyone gets embarrassed and you prove your point of how you're not cool with certain things...considering that you were right there.

Doing that in a more private setting, well...then...ignorance is bliss.

Like a toad and the kiss...

Transforming him into a prince!

That's the difference between tadpoles and turtles.

Turtles live so much longer.

Which isn't always better, especially when you are in court...and that can go on forever.

Savvy means savory

White like ivory

Smoother than silk

Nurturing as milk

Whatcha Lookin' At?

Every women I know wonders the very same question, yet not all women have the same reaction/mindset to that situation.

Why do men check out "other" women.

Short answer, they're not blind.

Men are visual.  Men check out women, as well as, all other things...yet, there are no issues regarding other things.

For example during a drive out to somewhere (mostly nowhere):

men will notice, 

The car that pulled over to change a tire

The kids playing alongside the street

The old couple waiting at the street corner

The flashing pedestrian light

The accumulating traffic heading the opposite direction

The clarity in the sky

The woman walking her dog

The pothole in the road

"Oh wait, why are you looking at that woman?"

What woman would be my first reaction....and now, you sound annoying even bringing it up.

Yeah, what about all the other things that I saw?

What about those things?!

Simple understanding, just because you look at something...does not mean you plan on giving it any more thought beyond that immediate glance.

Most times, it becomes a forgotten image within less than a minute.

Kinda like window shopping when you have no money.

Savvy?
