Friday

Posted on August 15, 2008

it’s friday, it’s busy, i’m pondering. i miss you.

i have a lot of thought in my heads today but, for now, i need to focus on work and getting through the day, and just wait for 4pm to roll on in.

have a good weekend, darlings.

SOTD – these are the thoughts

These are the thoughts that go through my head
In my backyard on a sunday afternoon
When I have the house to myself and I am not
Expending all that energy on fighting with my boyfriend

Is he the one that I will marry?
Why is it so hard to be objective about myself?
Why do I feel cellularly alone?
Am I supposed to live in this crazy city?
Can blindly continued fear-induced regurgitated
Life- denying tradition be overcome?

Where does the money go that I send to those in need?
If we have so much why do some people have nothing still?
Why do I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning?
Why do you say you are spiritual
Yet you treat people like shit?

How can you say you’re close to god
And yet you talk behind my back as though I am not
A part of you?
Why do I say Im fine
When its obvious Im not?
Whys it so hard to tell you what I want?
Why cant you just read my mind?

Why do I fear that the quieter I am the less you will listen?
Why do I care whether you like me or not?
Why is it so hard for me to be angry?
Why is it such work to stay conscious and so easy to get stuck
And not the other way around?

Will I ever move back to canada?
Can I be with a lover with whom I am a student and a master?
Why am I encouraged to shut my mouth
When it gets too close to home?
Why cannot I live in the moment?

    Thoughts – they are like run away trains that keep on churning through the night on circular tracks. Keep coming back. Keep coming back. What happens if there is silence. What do you hear then?

    @Mandy

    if there is silence, i hear everything as i need to.

    silence is healing, cathartic and most of all, cleansing =)
