PS 30

I will exalt you
I have no other desire
These days hold no love 

You have rescued me 
From the howling of the night
Time and time again

It strikes Deja Vu 
Though we have walked all those paths
And find ourselves here

I cry for mercy 
Don't stay angry forever
I could not bear it 

Spare me from the pit
Where meaninglessness infects
It might kill my heart

These days haven't yet
But LORD my heart is weary 
As only you know

What waits for me next? 
Many more months of study? 
A rapid rapture? 

My eyes fixed on you
Please come remove my sackcloth
And clothe me with joy

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned. Let waves wash worst days from mind Best are yet to come We seek a shared realm With no more dream(s) to distract Though they might buoy Our blood sweat and tears Will be worth each step taken Our footfalls swear it They say 'life goes on' Perhaps it does on some shore Here, we claim the NOW!"

Disentropic

So, someone else's presence, from one's own perspective, is a combination of signals in the brain. The sight of them, the sound, the feel, everything, from one's own perspective regarding the other that they perceive, is ultimately these brainwaves, in a familiar pattern. This intertwines with the the idea that consciousness is these brainwaves, our bodies carefully constructed compilations of sensors and machines designed to generate these waves and in turn be driven by them. I can imagine, and even have seen firsthand one night, hallucinations so vivid that they are indistinguishable from real people. Granted, personally I did not touch these others, but they were visible and plain as day. They acted as if they were real, and spoke audibly; I had no basis to say that they were not real except in retrospect, in the context being broken. So, looking at this from the perspective of strictly consciousness, given the right combination of factors and stimuli, my brain saw and h...

Daechwita

Tools fly with vigor Like never before seen here "Prepare for the (end/start)!" A cacophony  Fortunately I've run these Paths made for no man Control my first pass Who would ever seek second?? Rebalance, conserve. My soul is sealed off  Your teeth gnashing only chaff Bitter and hollow Love my enemies If you cannot love your own They will teach you love. Love's lesson quite hard Once called "Not for faint of heart." Now all must witness. Redefining "all" In the space between heartbeats To "all that witness." There is no time left. You have spent yours as you want. Now we do the same.
