What up y'all!?
I put yet more pics in my album, if anyone cares. Actually today I'm gonna be an even bigger freak than normal. A couple of years ago, I was REALLY fucked up on mushrooms and I was listening to music. I have always been a TOOL fan, but, that day I finally understood a song that I never really LISTENED to before..... Anyone reading this probably thinks I'm even more fucked in the head now, but, whatever. Anyway, music is poetry and I wanted to insert this poem in my journal today. It is actually 2 songs run together the first one slow and drawn out, the next much faster and more intense. Take for what you will, but, I love the lyrics.
PARABOL/PARABOLA
So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.
We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.
Alive
This holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...
Of what it means to be alive
Swirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this
chance to be alive and breathing
chance to be alive and breathing.
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.
I don't know why this songs lyrics are important to me, but, they are so I had to share them.
Later,
Mike
