b123 (4.28-1.2025): when anger rules the day

when anger rules the day [i]
by ima angry
 
when anger rules the day
there is no end in sight
there is no come what may
when anger rules the night
 
when anger rules, it just refuels (reciprocal/repay)
when anger rules the night, alright:
when anger rules the day
________________________________
 
·       why do i get so angry? 

·       is my anger stronger than most other humans?

·       is my love deeper than other humans?  why do i care so much?
 
one thing is for certain: unleashing anger will invite reciprocation, which will be a bad thing.

* i'm glad...

 ...that i don't know the names of the latest celebrities, that i don't know the newest shows, and that i don't have a clue as to what is going-on (in the media).

it's been over 30 years (without tv), and i simply don't care to know what everybody else knows.

i don't even care. 

b123 (4.27-1.2025): why [why should i care]?

 
why (why should i care)? [i]
by ima n. o. caring
 
why?  why should i care?
about the time, or day
about the rhythm, rhyme
about the act (or Play)
about the next event
about the truth (or dare)
about the word: prevent
why?  why should i care?

·       when there is nothing you can do about the inevitable, why care?

 so... for the better part of my life, i've believed that the ultimate high was to be with a woman.  what i'm re-cognizing, Now, is that the Ultimate -- is to be with myself (writing, contemplating, Be-ing).

gonna die (2 hours) [i]
by ima gonna die
 
gonna die (2 hours)
not a lot to say
wish i had more time to be with you, right here, today
________________________________ 
 
·       when you are about to die, the only thing you will want is to be with what/whom you love, Now.

·       the question (prior to that moment) becomes:
  o   what do i love, Now?
  o   who do i love, Now?
  o   how can i give something that might be remembered… Now?

b123 (4.22-1.2025): apocalyptic

apocalyptic [i]
by s. low & a. p. ocalypse
 
there’ll be no place to go
there’ll be no-thing to say
there’ll be no sudden savior
there’ll be no plan or play
there’ll be no time to fix this
(a reason for a rhyme)
there’ll be (apocalyptic)
just kiss your ass goodbye
________________________________
 
·       as we enter the middle phase of the slowapocalypse, a reflection:
 
when it happens (for you) it might be global… or it might be persona (e.g. stage 4).  the only thing that will matter is your (numbered) hours, and who you (really) love.
 
we might as well make the most of it, now.
 
-the (literal) end.
 
an old army helicopter pilot saying used to be: 

”when you are about to crash, don’t kiss your ass goodbye. 

unzip your flight-suit, sit on the cyclic, 

and let the investigation officer try to figure it out.”

* okay, i have girlfriends

no apologies.

i have girlfriends, and i hope that they have boyfriends!

nobody can take care of another's every need, and very, very few people can live together in love. my quest is to love those who i love.  that's it.

it doesn't matter if you are a friend, a family member, a lover, or a one-night under the covers.  i want to express love, and i am happy (in turn) when it is expressed back.

i encourage my girlfriends to explore their options and to live their best life.  no guilt trips.  no ownerships.  no conventional u.s.a. relationships.

baby, i am like your best friend (who just happens to be physically attracted to you).  i want you to have your best life, and i am grateful to have melded with you, during our journey.

b123 (4.18-1.2025): when dreams come (ARE) true

 

when dreams come are true [i]
by drea m. baby
 
when dreams are true (in-Joy-ment)
when dreams are true (it’s fun!)
when dreams are true (it’s any-thing!)
when dreams are true (we, One)
________________________________
 
dreams are better in the phase prior to ‘coming’ true.  it’s the anticipation, the contrast of maybe/maybe not.  

  since actually attaining the dream is anti-climactic, consider delay-ing the ultimate climax.  this is the process of Be-ing present with the future.
   keep open the possibilities.  cultivate the maybes.  live the dream before it is time to wake-up in the experience. 
   then, when the dream does come true…  don’t project.  don’t think.  don’t anticipate.  Be present, and Be the present.  wallow in the sea of joy.  let it embrace you, surround you, enter you… and support you.
 

allow the dream to Be you.

b123 (4.16-1.2025): maybe THIS is happy

 
maybe this is happy [i]
by ima happy

    
maybe this is happy
living life alone
crying over videos and thoughts of love and home
feeling heart ripped-open by the joy of days gone by
maybe this is happy
maybe it’s just my…
 
way of doing it
________________________________
 
·       even today, at 66 years of chrono-logical age, i experience the joy of possibilities.

·       that’s what makes me happy:

    o   the present re-cognition of:
    §  past experiences (gratitude)
    §  future possibilities (dreams)

maybe i'm happy:

-drinking beer on the deck, watching birds.

-being alone.

-watching reacher, and crying over his love for a girl who might/might not be his daughter.

-leaving the party early.

-flirting.

-putting bailey's in the coffee (on a sun-day).

-having options.

-cultivating possibilities.

in lennyland, dreams don't have to come true.  it's the possibility in the dream that makes it true (in the mind).

* the lie about "they're lying"

 when the article (or commercial, or ad, etc.) says "they're lying to you!"

...that's the truth.

but it's just a set-up, so that the truth-teller can gain your trust...

thereby making it easier for him to lie to you.

·       UFO trackers and pundits are always “shocked” when alien vessels are sighted close to u.s. military bases… as if the aliens “didn’t know” or “were taking risks” or “spying on us.”

·       luckily, there is a fraction of our population that thinks above the third-grade level -- and links the unidentified object with our military.

·       the pundits either (a) don’t care, since they make $$$ off-of the clicks, or (b) have 3^rd grade eye-cues themselves.

* a concept of G∞d

from the outset, 
what this post will attempt to do is akin to an ant's concept of north america.  
the ant has no way (using its own, limited senses) of imagining what a car is... 
never mind a city or country or continent.

that being said, i'll give it a go:

1. i am.  even if i'm only consciousness in someone else's computer, i am sentient.

2. it appears as if others (things, beings, etc.) exist too.

3. within my experience, all living things die (and return to source in some other form).

4. "to be without beginning" is a concept that lies beyond my/our (rational) comprehension.  the created is borne out of a creator.

i can't get too far beyond that.  i don't believe in fish-er-man's stories, and cannot believe that G∞d has an ego or that an "All-Loving" G∞d murdered innocent mothers, babies, kittens and bunnies.  i can believe that man has an agenda, and that no man's word is to be blindly trusted.

Hopes: 

1. the Creator is Love, Unconditional.

2. we  are Connected/fused to the Source, and will re-fuse (again) with Source. 

3. Love never (really) dies.

Deduction:

Live!  Express!  Sing!  Dance! In-Joy!
report back to Source.
it's what G∞d would want us to do/Be/do.

________________________________
 
·       if all we see is a fabrication, then reality itself becomes blurred.

·       subjective reality (as flawed as she is) is all there is.
