probabilities [i]
by probably s. nowed

while the persuasive speakers speak about “the probability of you, being you”* they assume that you are supposed to be you.

romantic, of course, but a more realistic viewpoint is that you are you because of a long chain of events that produced you. if you take the “you” or “me” out of the situation, then we are no longer talking about false, induced “probabilities.”

once we remove our egos from the equation, we can (unromantically, of course) deduce that we are who we are. period. there wasn’t a “chance” of you or i being someone else. wIe are Be-Cause of our specific chain of events.

is a tornado a miracle? is an ocean wave a miracle? is a salmon or a cockroach a miracle?

yes. they all are… if you use the probability theories that make us believe that we are special.

ego loves its specialness.

if we re-move the ego, then you and i just are. we didn’t “get lucky”. we are simply the outcropping of a multidimensional cascade of events that resulted in our ego, believing that it is separate, special, unique (like a snowflake!) and wonderous.

this thoem isn’t to say that we aren’t a miracle. it is to say that those who attempt to get us to believe that we are a 1-in-4 trillion-lucky-break… are romanticizing the issue.

truth is, my separation consciousness is. that is all that one could ever, ever, ever experience. connection, however, well… that might just be a Knowing.

critical condition [i]

by fee ling criticized

we can talk all day about relationship-rendition
we’ve put this relationship in critical condition

· just because i’m a little sensitive to criticism doesn’t mean that she can constantly criticize me -- and then double-down on me for feeling criticized.

new year weight loss goals

new year weight-loss goals [i]
by ima. goal settah

i’ve done this before
it never gets old
maybe i’m just bored, with
my new year’s weight-loss goals
________________________

· be-cause here’s the truth: if i really, really, really wanted to do it, it would already have been done!

· new year’s resolutions help us feel good (when declared) and make us feel like failures as the year shows – that promises are like flickers in the night.

they… don’t have a chance (in-sight)…

once reality shines her true light.

😊

we love bullsh-t stories

we love bullsh-t stories [i]
by ima story tellah

we love bullsh-t stories
my-stories and rhymes
we love bullsh-t stories
those like yours and mine
________________________

· you-mans, Be-ing (uh, us) looooooove stories. we read, we write, we listen, and we believe in that which resonates.

· it doesn’t matter (at all) if the stories are true or valid or reliable or reasonable…
· ...the only thing that matters is that we believe.

· even when we are given proof that our beliefs are ignoramically ignoramic, we still believe!

somebody should study humans.
we are (uh) fun.

assimilation/elimination

assim e. limination [i]
by assim. e. limilation

assim e. limination
assimilation, meme

s/he came unto elation in the middle of a dream
s/he had an intake yearning and elimination streams

asim e. limination:
as One (or both) it seems
________________________

· Be-Cause to assimilate is to take-in, whereas elimination is to excrete, or re-move.

· in this thoem, assim is a fusion of assimilation and elimination – a whole system; a One; a closed circuit; a ying/yang experience.

· s/he embodies the flow, the Union, the connection, the symbiosis, the Love, and the Holistic nature of relative oppositicality.

a natural practicality.

S/he is (both) the male and the female…
the inspiration and the expiration…
the arteries and the veins…
the dark and the light…
as s/he ebbs and flows like the tides…

of day and night.
