Comfort in Chaos.

There's always been a certain
Sense of placidity
Amidst the brewing Storm.
The ever-strong tempest
Beckoning to you,
A holler you can't forego.
The towering waves come crashing down
And the thunderous songs throng
Yet there's a feeling that this is where you belong.

There's a power to the Storm
But a whisper to its song.
A comfort in chaos
A feeling that this is where you belong.

Sometimes do you ever wonder why it is that you're so sad?  It may hit you in waves; these listless moments when you feel as though all the happiness is ripped through the skin and you don't know what the trigger was. You just know it happens. We're a paradoxical generation. We have so much at our feet and yet, we are haunted by demons in our heads. We fight for what we want, we make our voices heard, and we do incredulous things once we set our minds to them. At the end of the day, we retreat to our private shells. Only there's no sound of the ocean or beckoning of home. There's the sound of emptiness that resonates and reminds us that we are so alone. A world plagued by networking yet there has never been a more hollowed out mass before.  So what makes you so fucking empty inside sometimes?  What makes the sadness creep in?

Sometimes I wonder if it's the authenticity of  relationships.  Maybe we don't try half as hard as we should. We care but sometimes it's painful as far as relationships go. Family and friends are people just like you; trying to get by in this haphazard world.  It's not their fault that they stumble or fall short in aspects of their lives.  Give the people a break.

It hurts when you invest in the wrong people. The time and energy in that isn't worth the return. It hurts  when you don't invest in the right people. You'll have lost out on good net worth.

People say they want to understand you.

They act as though they really wish they could.  Only tell them one of the deepest thoughts in the recesses of your subdued mind and they go running.  No one wants to hear your problems. Everyone's got their own. Truth is, everyone is equally fucked up in the head. Just no one admits it.

Maybe that's why we're all so sad. We're all chasing away demons that we figure we alone have.


Yet, society is a mirrored image of these looming Beings.

"What is it all about? It's like asking: 'What's the pit in the middle of an onion?' And, you take off all the skin, and so on, and so on, and so on… And suddenly you find you've got a litter of skins and no pit. There wasn't anything in it. You might say: 'Well, that's a hoax. Life is a deception; a tale told by an idiot.' And yet, what you had missed, in looking for the pit, were the beautiful skins. See, that's the edible part of the onion." ~Alan Watts in audio "Zen and the West - Early Chinese Zen"

Revelations

Revelations happen at night

In the darkest hour; 

From Contemplation, pours forth light.  

Wish you may and wish you might 

Things that were occluded are  now within sight. 

So what is it about quiet reflection 

That makes sense of a thought? 

It is in the lonely  moment 

That an idea is brought forth. 

You wrapped up in your own essence,

Nothing to dilute the thought process, 

A naked canvas of intellectual stimuli, 

All draw from the power of 'I'. 

For the answers  were always deep within,.

Layered far below more than just skin. 

Buried in the chamber pots of the heart and soul,  

All it took was Darkness to unfold. 

~Charlie 

Age is just a number

They say my age is just a number,

Rather than a measure

Of who I am.

But what if I told you

That the significance of such

Is filtered by the webs of a spiderling.

That my age isn’t just a number,

It speaks the Truth.
