else’s hands are empty of
what they need.
the difference between needs
and wants, is the difference
between freedom and slavery.
be careful of what you want!
every transaction has a cost.
who pays the cost… and in the
end who pays for that?
dont let what you want own you!
dont take your wants at the expense
of someone else’s needs.
we came into this world naked,
we will leave the same way.
what we cling to is only a hindrance.
all that dies, dies alone today!
embrace the darkness!dance barefoot on the embers.cut your finger, and bleed!step from the nest,open the door and walk outside.leave your treasures behind.set sail without a destination.never pray with words,love without hesitation…breathe in the dust and the grime,be drunk with living!
the wet spot on your pillow,your neighbor’s tears.the sharp pain in your heart,your neighbor’s eviction notice.the sadness in your mirror…your neighbor’s cry for help!WAKE UP!
at the foot of the cliff,the moment just before dawn.the broken windowof the abandoned house,the tire swing casting shadows.i am the eyes of godin the crickets’ song,the shovel caked with dirt.i am the thrust of the pelvis,and the death of the soul,the unseen sweeper of hearts.i am the tongue that evolves,the fish that walk on…
cut them off, take them,let it be so.if to see equality,you must take my eyes,pluck them out,they are yours!if the price of compassionbe the scars on my back,then so be it.if my body be the bridgeyou must cross to find the truth,then i lay it down!if my heart in your handsbe the cost of responsibility,then…
play when you want,play all night.the older the better,the sweeter the sound…even the windpauses to listen!lifetimes and loves,heartaches and passion.the very breath of God.then with loving care,back in the case.sleeping together in silence!
