Though you may stop the clock,
Time continues.
The Great Fallacy fools us all!
And yet –
And yet…
And…yet.
The mask of beingness and becomingness
Covers every rock, every tree, every…thing.
It hides us from each other,
For “the time is not right.”
Ha!
RIGHT time?
You would let time rule your life,
That great lie at the center of all lies?
Do not. Do not.
For I would like to accept your forgiveness,
And give you mine.

“…by any other name…,” said the ill-fated lover.
So, what is in a name?
What do you picture when I say, “a rose”?
Is it this?
Do you expect a certain scent? Thorns? A long stem?
Do you think of romance, love, and matters of the heart?
There is power in names.
We are a people of labels.
Reality is what we think it is.
Names shape reality.
Would you smell as sweet, by any other name?

Lightseeker!
I am not your Lucifer.
For you deserve a king,
And I am but a pauper and a fool.

existential opposites
both true.
i am impossible

“listen not to me”, said he.
