Portable Colors.

I had forgotten how much I wanted to listen to music while walking. I have been without an ipod or music device for too long. Before it was to listen to songs that had relative lyrics that I could associate with and help me decipher things. That still has carried over, but now it is stronger. The music has become an extension of my thoughts. Tracy once mentioned how for a while, she could imagine flowers into realistic existence anywhere she wanted. I believe that much like that, I am becoming able to visualize the colors of how the song is going and the link between me, my thoughts, and the music. It is a little bit of a rush, and if you asked me what colors they were, I would have a hard time telling you. I know they exist. I can see them, but at the same time I feel them. I don't know where things are going, but I am determined to survive.




This Too Shall Pass - Danny Schmidt


We think too big
We think our self is one whole thing
And we claim that this collection
Has a name and is a being
But deep inside
When every cell divides
It sets upon the rule that states
Self-interest is divine

Cancer, too
Lives by this golden rule
That you must do unto the others
As the others unto you
All for the best
Cause that’s all the life accepts
And so we kill it like a buffalo
With awe and with respect


....




The story goes
Or the way that I was told
There was a king that always felt too high
And then he fell too low
And so he called
All the wise men to the hall
And begged them for a gift
To end the rises and the falls

And here’s the thing
They came back with a ring
It was simple and was plainly
Unbefitting of a king
Engraved in black
It had no front or back
But there were words around the band that said
Just know: This Too Shall Pass
