In aphorism, poetry, proverb on 20191230 at 23:55
Those who share, have something to give.
Those who share not, have nothing.
The fool will not look.
The lay cannot see.
The intellect will look.
The wise see.
Ear plugs made of ego, make the fool.
The wise prune the dead limbs by choice.
The fool go out on dead limb and prune by accident.
The fool cannibalizes their soul to feed their ego.
If there is no self-accountability given, there is no responsibility taken.
Ego is a gift held by fools and a burden lost by the wise.
A bully has back-up to compensate for an ego that otherwise has no defense.
The fool bystander fears the aggressor only when they have personal profit to gain.
I See You
Without your makeup
Without your muscles
With the bags under your eyes
With the softness in your thighs,
I see you.
Without your stoic self
Without your unapologetic self
With your hidden tears
With your vulnerable self,
I see you.
Past the violence you commit
For the harm you deny
Past the wall you have built
For the fear you feed,
I see you.
Beyond the smoke you toke
Beyond the drink you take
Through pain that feigns laughter
Though uncertainty that belies confidence,
I see you.
Despite your failures
Not in spite of your successes
So busy with accomplishments
So boastful of your efforts,
I see you
As the tender soul
As the terrified one
Who strives without
Who struggles onward,
I see you.
Never with an apology
Ever with the denial
Hardly the recognition
Rarely the action,
I see you.
For the day shall come
Only after the night concedes
With only the hope that
you’ll see another, too.

In aphorism, proverb on 20160814 at 23:55
When a spoiled mood makes for sour words, silence is more fruitful.
A hypocrite is /not.
The fool know not the extent of their reach. The wise know the extent of their impact.

《What Is, What Wills》
Once upon the deep, dwelled two pairs of seafaring lovers.
Both lived rather normal lives aboard their ships on the sea, full of ups and downs, as anyone would expect to see upon the sea.
On calm seas, both pairs made love with the illimitable passion of lovers held at bay.
But the sky does what a sky wills, and so oft brewed blackened clouds with the inevitable unknown beyond. It was in these times that the difference between the lovemakers was never more lucid.
For when the storms blew in, as only a fool could deny the inevitability of, the seasoned couple ceased their lovemaking, wisely understanding their lovemaking to be powerless against warding off the mighty storm. To them, worry was a more worthy and more rewarding charm.
The other couple continued to make love like only reckless lovers knew, much to the chagrin of the other lovers. And it was true that the lovers’ lovemaking did nary a thing to make the storm go away, to shorten the waves, or to lessen the impact.
Also true was it, that the cessation of the other lovers’ lovemaking neither did anything to encourage the passing of the storm.
For a truth is a truth as is a sail a sail. Wisdom lies in wielding a truth, not simply holding a truth.
For in the end, to the common eye, it was plain to see that lovemaking -and its lack thereof- had absolutely nary a thing to do with the coming of the storm, the size of the storm, nor the passing of the storm.
With the passing of a storm, what remained for the eye to see was but two sets of lovers at sea and two kinds of love as they so fit to see.
One, a weakened bond of fair weather lovers, who made love only when the sea was calm, losing only the opportunity to love each other through and so weather a storm together.
The other, a strengthened bond between the lovers, who made love without regard to a storm (or was it very much with regard to the storm?), losing only themselves in each other whether or not came the weather.
For a storm is what only a storm wills, and love is only what love wills.

In aphorism, proverb on 20120602 at 23:40
When we share, ownership becomes secondary to fellowship.
Your quest, your questions.
Projection is proximal to perception, distal to existence.
Learning follows listening.
Clarity wears a cloak of obscurity.

In aphorism, proverb on 20120520 at 23:58
When progress seems to abscond,
when digression seems to supersede,
it might just seem, it might just be –
that progress has but skipped and leaped, indeed.
What force does pillage now, patience is gifted soon.
A step forward is one more than infinite retreats, absent.
Headway exists where setbacks are stalled.
What gives pique the impression of digression, or even regression, patience may find progression.
Have patience when the going gets tough, with wisdom to know that you are just getting going.
A plea for unnecessary help is a terrible waste of potential.
With pride is a toil spoiled.

《standing》
misunderstood, are we
when understanding, we
are not.
Different realities are a result of different perspectives.
True balance needs imbalance to maintain balance.
To breathe fresh air, one must leave the fire.

In aphorism, proverb, rumination on 20120516 at 23:59
Without an outrage, a wrong is not a scandal.
Impatience is the supernatural disappointment of mortal expectations.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, but Earth… was?
Who imagine forgiveness, realize peace. Who imagine revenge, realize war.
Imagine a society that accepts its responsibility to support each person as equally as it expects each person to respect its rule. Imagine if just one person supported a single other person, regardless of their imperfect past, embracing them for who they have the potential to be. Imagine a society that can forgive each other, that we may realize a future together.
To become independent is to be freed.
Independence is a form of freedom. Dependence is a form of captivity.
The independent must collaborate, the dependent must delegate.
The guilty act defensively, the guiltless need not act -they are defenseless.
Who is without guilt is without need for defense.
The fool argue a truth with a falsity.
Calling a piece of shit “a piece of shit” is not to be negative, it is to acknowledge truth, to refuse judgment.
To compliment where an insult is due is to refuse the truth.
Who deny the truth fool themselves.
Being me is the greatest challenge I could ever face -when I do that, everything else is a cinch. When I don’t, everything is a task.
The greatest deception, the greatest revelation -is of the self.

In aphorism, proverb on 20120504 at 12:28
The fool call it a ‘mid-life crisis’; the wise call it a ‘near-death awakening’.
There is no greater death than that which is lived.
The fool live without breathing, the wise without expiring.
Ride out the storm; get your spurs on!
When at last the fool can hide no longer from the light of day, a hole is dug.

In aphorism, poetry, proverb on 20120426 at 13:17
A friend is not one who shoulders your burden, but rather accompanies you on your journey.
The fool trust no one. The wise trust everyone.
Prison orange looks good on anyone.
《grounded by flight》
When all the birds have been leashed
like an inverted mobile in our hands,
will we pause to see our blindness
that it is ours, whose hands are tied.

In aphorism, proverb on 20110810 at 11:44
Even when the waves stop crashing, there is still surface tension.
Every day offers a choice, every day affords a new chance.
Be certain only of uncertainty.
