random thoughts regarding energy, life, and the world
originally written 04.10.03

life doesn't stop when you want it to--
no matter what you do.
the world's life force continually flows
and goes from person to person.
fires keep burning, even the teacher
is still learning.

you're still alive when you sleep,
energy still surges in dormant states,
it awaits and creeps into visions
and makes decisions in your dreams.
energy beams in all directions,
neglecting no section of the earth.

life isn't ever so bad.
the world isn't ever such a bad place.

everyday consists of several steps,
stepping toward someplace somewhere:
you get there from your own motivation.
life is all your creation...
the world is yours to explore...
energy flows from the heavens past the ocean floor.

allow yourself to fall and feel small.
get lost in a crowd of a foreign nation.
let new energy into your soul,
find solace in the unfamiliar.
nothing's ever similar.
life is all your creation.
