Is it true? Do our eyes, ears, even mind deceive? When we see, or are seen, is what appears on the surface the truth or is there truly more? What about patterns in words and dream? Are these paths to wisdom or spiritual quicksand? Do some of us see a little deeper, a little too deeply, or are we confused by shadow or even so enraptured by light that when we turn away as we must, the dark is too plain? A little mood music to go with the notions roiling about in my mind. Uhrm, be careful what you wish for. UPS may not know to warn of a haunting through consumption!
Trails of light, or a blanking of letters and words, sometimes leads to strange messages. A truth to them.
Things I saw as a child, even now really. It just doesn't hurt as much, and I have learned some things that help. Hard. No escape, of flesh. Hope for the spirit, finally.
I feel the need to add something here. For much of my life I blamed my mother for what I saw. I was angry about some things. I recently came to realize that no matter where or how I was raised, that I would have seen these things, and probably more so. We are a feral fallen man. We hide our dirt behind clean skin and clothes, our bloodlust behind smiles, our lusts and excesses behind excuses and lies. I saw so clearly, through it all. If anything, she worked overtime to shelter me, knowing my... frailty. And she did help me overcome the horrors that is life. I simply had to write this, finally. Thank you, Mom.
I have been accused of this, until it became known that I didn't put myself behind the glass. Redemption of blame, if not of the bindings holding me to the box. Best to not mock the living dead. A lesson yet for me to know rightly.
Good night.
Who is wishing for a haunting through consumption? Not me, for sure! :-) hauntings spook me a bit.
ReplyDeleteI did listen to your music here. I especially liked the 1st one very much. As I was playing it, my oldest was walking by and commented on the fact that he really liked The Storm. He has one of their vinyls. I might check out more of their music.
Be well, Doom ..
Oh, just a thought regarding mailing out my brain. A cross blog thread stretch, and tease regarding it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed. The others are more... stories. I am amazed at what I find that matches my little notions from time to time. I often don't like the music, per se, or others by the band, but the stories are so spot on to what is in my head, with a few notions seen as... workarounds or... placeholders.
For example I often prefer the feminine when discussing my health weaknesses, or weaker/emotional side. It's sort of a Zen thing, yin and yang, but internal rather than external, or even a cross-wiring of those two. But I have found much music I do like, on it's own, too.
