b78 (4.24-1.2017): mirror, mirror

mirror mirror  [i]

by r. e. flection

mirror, mirror on the wall (what is this world i see?)
who must i blame for war, destruction, disease, famine: (me)
who can i thank for love, compassion, beauty, color: (eye)
mirror, mirror (re-create): image-in reasons why
____________________________________
  • Be-Cause, without me (re-Cognizing that which is in the mirror), it wouldn’t be there.
  • this whole Mega-Verse is a reflection of that which eye be-li[e]ve is Real.
  •  the (obvious) learning point, here, is that there are an infinite number of realities that i could focus upon, right now.  from the birth of a baby to the explosion of a bomb... they are all real.
  • ...but what if i get caught up in a false reality -- like a cult or fake religion?  
    • then that reality experience will also be real, in my mind...
    • until such time as i opt out of it.
  • ...but what of others, who are caught up in false realities?  don't they affect my reality?
    • if i believe that they are affecting my reality, 
    • then i would, in effect, be allowing my reality to be affected.  
      • again... my responsibility.
  • the only Real question is... what reality would i like to experience?
    • what am i watching, listening to, and focusing on?
    • what would i like to co-create, today?

b78 (4.10.2017): smart bomb (you came from heaven)

smart bomb (you came from heaven)  [1]
by bursti n. ginair

smart bomb (you came from heaven)
you brightened up my night
you dis-located evil (and you showed him left from right)

smart bomb (you came from heaven) you’re a sight for all to see
but what went wrong? (our future, gone)
my kitten, daughter, me

…but suddenly realizing that this thing of beauty, in addition to "bursting in air," has landed on top of her living room.
