Bigger Windows

Collect the raindrops left scattered on the ground, cut the dying trees before they die. Live with your hands until you die in your mind. Walk with your feet along the long and winding road that brings you to whatever form of the afterlife you believe in. Or rest in the body that you know and love. Be yourself for yourself, but for others as well. and cry every day. It’s okay. 

Live on the premise of working for a goal. A personal goal or a collective goal. Join a community. How else are you supposed to figure out the answers to your problems? How else are you supposed to live your life other than practicing the same rituals and habits again and again? What is life without change? 

Change is the only constant. Change never changes. You are always who you are, but you can always change. Each day may be your last day on earth. Move into a mental apartment with bigger windows, windows that look out across the skyline and across the hills beyond your city.

  • If Only

    If only they thought of everyone

    Not just themselves

    Think about it

    Millions of people

    Saved 

    What about the people who can’t help themselves

  • The Changing

    I love the sound of the wind rustling the leaves in the trees

    The same leaves that in due time turn red and orange and yellow

    The same leaves that protect us with food and warmth and air to breathe

     

  • Peace

    Peace is the answer

    Peace is the one thing we should all be able to agree on

    But we can’t

    Life is hard

    Conflict is hard

    Come together for peace

    A common goal

    A world of peace is all it takes
