I say with a sigh, blood is not nobility
count how oft’ the Red Queen cries
“Off with his head”, she hardly says
anything else– Power ‘tis said
Twists ladies as men turning them quite
Bellicose,
Blood’s no guarantee nobles will lead
To better or worse shifting us either way
It’s red
with/out gender
We favor no crown, no throne, no aristocracy
We got revolution, remember, we can still march to the sea.
Look to the heavens, see what is happening
You are not who you think you are.
Everything in and around you
The cosmic unfolding
Of countless events
Appearing, disappearing
Rising and falling
Right now, now again…
That is all you are,
Beyond comprehension all that is–
Keeping this in mind
While you continue a separate life
Is a mysterious trick,
The magic lies
In letting go
Being the Big Bang
To the present, that is who you are
“You cannot catch hold of it, nor can you get rid of it.
You are the eternal energy of the universe.”
Quote: Alan Watts
Rayn Roberts
Quote: from Alan Watts
for Fred Longworth
The pure energy of choice, the exercise
Of wisdom and will between the extremes
Of hatred and love, apathy or action, war
Or art, the painful year, a joyful moment,
Only mind dreaming our future into being:
All that is made by man, woman or child
Every toy, house, bridge, bullet or bomb
Was once an idea given birth in the mind.
It may look like we take one step forward
Three back, but a forward step is always
The greater distance in dreamtime, mind is
Forever dreaming forward into the future.
