the color of friendship

before I came

Fractions

Fast over deep. emotions over clarity. pleasant over bittersweet. comfort over compassion. tenderness over intensity.

what makes a criminal?

people don’t notice my response. yet the morality of my behavior becomes inappropriate. Control.

to secure the relationship. there are certain behaviors we all need to perform. Manipulation.

They are not in the practice of existing. They are in the practice of replicating. Unconscious.

To exist. means to not know. listening and observing become the actions. while your response becomes the result. Artist.

from a clear mind

what are you helping me towards? when you help. what is the track, path, goal you are ‘helping’ me to align with. if that is not clear. than what or who, are you helping ?

we all become agents. concerning ourselves w/ the orbits of other worlds. worried for them. we become what they fear. and sensing their fear. their unstable mind. we ready ourselves in the cloth of Their Savior. arms wide. to pull at their uneven pieces. to catch their fallen flower petals and prevent slips of gravity. eager to guide their pieces. into a puzzle of our own making.

we don’t see. what we’ve become. we’ve become what hunts them late at night. we’ve become the whisper in their ear, “you are not right”. acting as the angel and devil on their shoulder. we feed the monsters under the bed.

we keep them tortured. confused. bewildered. seeking. believing our beliefs. is this why you wait

to be asked.

To contemplate. someone, you love. comprehensively. deeply. surely. can no longer love you. Helps you explore. what your love. is attached to.

allows one to clarify. to fortify their heart into practicing. love. that is not attached. [to permanence.]

This takes exertion. have compassion. and go gently into this endeavor. with patience. contemplate. till. Nourish.
