2006 Review 05-31-06

Something is happening that I am not sure I can put into words,
But here is my most honest attempt. Everyone started this year off in the shit.
Somehow something was going on in the universe, and life was just fucking hard.
A few intense personal discoveries were made, but no action was taken.
No one could see their mind changing on paper, or anywhere in their immediate world.
March had a week somewhere in there, where everyone was numb.
We just needed to take our fingers out of the boiling soup and sleep for a minute.

We awoke eventually.
But not before life started sending robot orangutans wielding soft fruit towards us.
We resisted arrest, we kept on pushing through dreaming of a tomorrow that could
Only live or exist in our little heads.
Something was happening though; a long tunnel was beginning to open
One we didn’t even realize we were in.
Suddenly there was a train.
We were blindsided by the beauty of chaotic sounds surrounding us.
Then, all of the sudden, everything was silent.
The sound had been turned off of life for a moment.
And in that moment, everyone realized that to connect more fully with their world,
They needed to pull back, isolate for a moment and reflect on why we are here on this earth.
Now I’m not saying everything makes sense somehow our of nothingness,
But slowly, we are beginning to branch our little fingers back towards each other,
Casually as if pointing out a passing car.
Soon our hands will extend as if capturing the trails of shooting stars
And we will be, all of us, making love to each other in some sick state of mutual harmony.
And we will call it music
And we will call it out loud to each other as a greeting and a goodbye.
And we will all wonder where the sunlight came from,
As we are freckle blasted heavenward without the slightest sense of movement.
In stillness we can engage in a dance which only the wind can understand.

My forecast:
Play in a river with someone you don’t know all that well,
Do something for a stranger or a friend which no one will ever know.
Gather your thoughts, but do not hoard them, for they will go rotten.
Make love loudly on the hottest day of this summer.
Laugh at the amazing coincidences that have created this world which we are blessed to live in.
