“So Fly”







See the eye’s winged companion on the right?
“I’m done – out of the scene,” said one with exasperated finality.
“Are you sure?” asked the other with brows raised quizzically.
They both looked around for a moment and then burst out laughing,
“Nah!!” they loud chortle-whooped in unison.
“I didn’t think so!” the second one ribbed while gasping.
Brimming with the hope of innocence awakened to the full glory of self’s empowerment.
Is not necessarily about punitive reaction.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
It is true that were I financially independent from having to sweat and toil for my daily existence that I would continue to seek out ways in which to help and contribute.
(Title play with words)

When we are instructed by media to keep masquerading while rejecting valid authenticity, it is difficult to find other people who have good reasoning.
I want to be good at what I do – and be good while doing it.
The procedure being put off for a couple more months at least lets me not incur further difficulties to brain functions.
A predilection, to be sure.
She was newly learning that her children could now see her more clearly and that they supported her endeavors, whereas before, their father had defamed her capabilities and character so thoroughly.
To maintain one’s identity may sometimes require avoidance of other influences.
Down to the wire
Sighted but short
If one stopped striving
Would stuggles abate?
True love is guileless where hearts beat together.
Live
Loved
Given
& Lost
“Poetry is the art of revealing precious truth with words.”
“After passion calls and fate intervenes, who else is a woman left with but herself?”
“Real true love is worth it. No matter what.”
“You deserve all the love in the world.”

When I opened the back door and called the girls to go out, they just stood there, looked blankly at me, and then reoriented on my bedroom.
Apparently, they were sure without the slightest inkling of a doubt that I was wrong and it was definitely time for their peanut butter kongs with banana.
I could do without some visceral associations.
If a virus is bent on killing its host, rather than becoming coexistent-symbiotic, an immunization must be created to prevent its further detrimental propagation.
The same can be said for human violence.

A young man and woman met one day by Grace and fell in love.
Over time, as they came to know each other, it became apparent that they had unique foundational philosophies, although to the woman’s point of view, they were complimentary.
The woman, who had herself sprung from the very origins of the myth of Adam’s rib, lived and thrived in creative references to theories of existence, and felt that science was a vital inclusion in her reality, which further helped to clarify certain truths more readily measured, but did not dominate in validity over myth, for myth had been the mother of science.
The man, however, being enthralled with equations, calculations, and quantifications, felt more “safe” and comfortable in defining and categorizing “what can be known.”
He refused to acknowledge that perhaps the two states of understanding were intertwined, and viewed any further inclusion of concepts in myth and/or “magic” as regressive and an affront to the higher levels of intelligence toward which he believed Man should be striving.
Over time, as the woman’s views were not allowed acknowledgement in order to keep the man’s views unthreatened and distillated in his pondering of their purity, primal subconscious anger in her grew and began tapping into the primordial energies for reinforcement as he obliquely continued to shut her down and diminish her essential nature.
Then one day, the power of myth erupted into full glory as her essence transformed into the very proof in current day’s existence of an angered dragon.
But, instead of acknowledging this clear reality before him and bowing to the truth of their philosophies’ existential compatibility, he instead viewed her strength and fire as a threat, and in reaction condemned, chained, and then rejected her.

Why, then, do negatives seem to outweigh importance of positives?
In the Bible, two is the number of a “faithful witness,” or someone who is set apart for God. Also worth noting, the word “wisdom” is mentioned 222 times in scripture. Lastly, Acts 2:22 is the only scripture in the whole of the Bible that mentions “signs, miracles and wonders” in the same verse.
