it just doesn’t matter…

it just doesn’t matter…

there comes a point when you realize, it just doesn’t matter…the identity you create for yourself…really doesn’t matter…

what matters is getting down to the nitty gritty…the “real” you…that part of you that existed well before any trends, fads, cliques or group orientations…

the real you depends on nothing for survival…it just “is”…no beginning, no end…it is what is good within you…that light that may dim but is never put out…

even your name isn’t you…it is merely a title that allows you to traverse through this illusion we so often mistake for reality…

who do you choose to portray?  what behavior do you choose to act out…where do you plan to draw the line today between what is right and what is wrong?

what is right?  what is wrong?  does what you see go against the grain of who you really are?  does the box you see yourself in feel as though it is closing in upon you?

then break out…step out of the box and “be” whatever you want to be…choose for yourself, from deep within yourself…

society, as we’ve allowed it to become, tends toward oppression, the lock down of anything that is free thought, free speech…freedom…

the “rules” are not set in stone…they are simply agreements we’ve either agreed to or, in our apathetic slumber, didn’t bother to question…

the idea that “that’s the way it’s always been done” is a lie…there was a time it was “done” differently…and…

it can be “done” differently still…

it just doesn’t matter…who you portray yourself as, if who you really are never sees the light of day, hence, never gets the chance to make a difference…

it just doesn’t matter…

The Day Has Come

The day has come for a most fundamental change, a breakthrough that transcends all boundaries – both real and created.
Humanity has reached a crossroads – there is no going back – for what once was the “acceptable” mode of behavior has served to bring destruction and defeat.
The infection caused by our sickness has spread to afflict all that is around us – Earth Herself is chafing under the weight of our mighty callousness and utter disrespect.
The day has come when we must stop what we are doing and look at who we have become – open our eyes and see the damage we have done.  There is no point in hiding, there is no place to hide – the sins of our fathers have destroyed our sanctuaries, our hiding places – we must stand in the face of the evil we have allowed to run rampant, we must destroy the Devil that we created – the scapegoat that we laid our maliciousness upon.
The old ways, however, will not work – we must open our hearts to even older ways – methods that have no name – no beginning, no end.  The only cure for our sickness has been with us all along – for we were born from this “cure”, we are our own healing.  Lay down your anger – your judgments, your self proclaimed righteousness.  Take a look into your enemy’s eyes and realize they are your own eyes.  As the battle rages around you – find your quiet place – remember who you really are and then, extend your hand to your brother, make a way for your sister, learn from your father and go, teach your daughter.  In this family – to which we all belong – we must learn again to open our arms, take hold of each other, forgive ourselves and then look outward to pick up the pieces, rebuild. 
Throw away beliefs that would only serve to separate and remember the

Oldest Way

– the way we all walked long ago – the Way of Truth.  We are not separate from one another – we are all connected – spun together in a wondrous weaving, lovingly created – a creation we are sadly destroying.  The adage that united we stand, divided we fall – this is no mere quote, words strung together for effect.  This statement is the fundamental root that we must nurture – a beginning we must go back to. 
To all my brothers and sisters – red, brown, black, yellow and white – humanity has reached a crossroads – we can come together and move to the next level – united – or we can fall – divided, our ashes blown by the winds, our Mother Earth continuing her travels without us.  I, for one, would like to continue our journey.
