the god particle

slingshot through the heavens
speeds barely unknown
moving, spinning, hurling-
a crescendo unfurling!
slingshot round the earth,
viewing a new direction
moving beyond what I've seen
 what I've done
through space and beyond
adrift in my own continuum...
there is no end to where I'll go
no existance I have ever known
a consistant void- I drift beyond
worlds unfurl and worlds become-
slingshot through the heavens
all I see
I have known
I drift apart,  sail, and fall
until I become nothing-
or I exist within all...

Eddie

For some who have come
they cannot pass the door
 they spy at the salts and lavendar-
or the broom as it sweeps the floor.
The candles as they glow
 my table that spread a charm
speaks a different message to them
as if unfamiliar things will do harm.
-but they cannot pass the door.

But to others who come in as friends-
it's a home away from home
no more need to search and worry
no more need to stray or roam.
They find slow and easy comfort
solace and peace and rest-
no judging hearts- no drama here
Just smiles and acceptance, at best.

And as if in quiet example,
we found a visitor today-
he came to us in answered call
in a specific, yet casual way.
His look is a simple joy
a purr and and a hug he'd let
he came to our door and simply said,
"Are you familiar with me yet?"

Oh to hear the stones!

My favorite places I recall
While camping when I was small
made no sense to those who'd grown tall
they could no longer hear their call.
It's the large granite stones I'd seek.
Down the hill by the creek,
I'd feel most timid and meek
But I'd run for the chance to lay down my cheek-
Sun drowned warmth would spread
 and dissolve all the weary dread
as I gently lay down and quiet my head.
I'd listen to the granite mounds
empowered by the strength and sound
energy given - it abounds!
strength of the ages all around.

Beliefs

Beliefs.

I declare a respect. I declare honor.

I declare sight, vision, hope, and promise.

I do not declare a name for my beliefs.
No religion.

It just is.

It is within. It is with out.

It is a force without name.

It is a force with respect to both genders. 
It is male, and it is female.

It is balance, harmony, structure.

It is both positive and negative.

It is both light and dark.

It is within everything.

It is energy.  It is power.

thoughts

Live.

Live fully.

Love.

Love first, love fully.

Love when you know nothing else to do.

Love first, love last, and love when no one else can.

Laugh.

Genuinely laugh.

Laugh until your tummy hurts and tears spring to your eyes.

Laugh With- never At.

With respect- never judgment.

And

Always, always –

Learn.

There is always more to know. 

-Janey, June 2011

quotes to remember

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
-Lao-Tze


"We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are."
(I have no idea who said this...but they were right.)

 
If you are going down a road and don't like what's in front of you and look 
behind you and don't like what you see, get off the road. Create a new path! 
Maya Angelou

I never get lost! I just investigate alternative destinations!- unknown

just a sec

earth's rise and fall
a beat for us all
we cannot hear any longer

before we are born
technical waves do adorn
and change the face of what we are

in the womb we are hindered
instincts are surrendered
we are born unable to hear

before we become
it's altered- it's done
 a fact of modern society

ancient man came to be
they could smell, taste, and see
they could hear the earth's heart beat

we consider ourselves better
far superior in matters
while we ignore the house we live in

we can't see we can't hear
it's all very clear
the very things we love has changed us.

We live unaware
when we know we should care
but who has time to think or change

Schedules abound
 and turn us around
 until we are retarded in form

If only we'd stop
if only we'd stop
and say - just a sec- let's listen...

listen hard listen long
home is where you belong
don't shit on the ground you lay down on.

Stop for minute
silence- you're in it
-and say, "just a sec"- and listen.

breathe

Keep the wind in the willows,
keep the breeze in your hair,
enjoy the sunshine's warmth
know that it is there.

thank your mother
even if you're mad
just say thank you
 and allow her to feel glad.

tell your father,
something of kind
donot let the emotions
leave you both blind

then breathe.
tell your children you love
beyond all
that can ever be loved.

simply
honestly.
breathe
enjoy the breeze.

to wait for a better time
to go to bed with regret
to waste another moment
living with an ounce of dread

is wasting away the gift you have.
breathe.
enjoy the air. say heartfelt emotion
do what you dream

because in one instant
in one breath- in one sigh
it can all go away
like the blink of an eye

do not stop living
do not live life encumbered
breathe and smile
love before slumber. - June 2011- Janey
