Put it away,
Or throw it away,
Heck, even sell it on Ebay,
Just please keep your junk out of the way.

The ‘Captain’ Likes Trucks !
As I sped down the expressway, along came complete surprise.
‘Cause gazing up at the big truck I clearly saw His omnipotent eyes.
His eyes met mine, He gave a nod, a wave, and threw a big smile.
As I zoomed away into the dark night at eighty-five hours a mile.
Initially, I could barely believe what had just transpired.
Though surely I recall never having felt so inspired.
Why so clear that our eyes met squarely through the dark.
For many a day after my brake stayed emergently on park.
His truck was most impressive, shiny, humble, righteously sleek.
Clearly one could tell, He enjoyed traveling alongside the meek.
Despite sensible doubt, from the onset I knew this was Him.
And for the decade to follow I would set out to make amend.
How it was that He visited me during my frolic with the night.
That I also viewed Him surely mandated the requisite of Right.
Why He came to me and chose to converse, I can’t really say.
All I really know is that it was in the most awesome of ways!
So it is with this preface that I tell of this encounter to you.
Be proper, kind, and just, and to you this may also come true.
If you are seeking…, the ‘Captain’ might drive up and appear.
Forsake nothing, look to find, and remember to shift the gear.

A Perplexing Dichotomy for the Modern Age: Money as Worth?
June 4th, 2010
A perplexing dichotomy that often presents itself is the issue of the intrinsic and personal value of money in the modern era. On one hand, money is worth all including worth itself. It seems money can buy nearly anything one desires. However, on the other hand, money isn't worth anything - as it typically has no true or real value. And, generally, what can be bought with money has no real value in the grander scheme of life either - as what is usually most desired can not be purchased. So, I wonder which of the opposing hands is the Right one?

Stairway of Life, A Sestina
The first step on the Stairway of life is Knowledge
The next step on this Stairway of being is Truth
Building upon and requiring the first two steps is Justice
After realizing the third, the fourth step is Enlightenment
Though not reached by most is the level of Revelations
And finally, the highest step is displayed by Rapture
Rebirth is made possible by conscious Rapture
Life in all its glory reflects collected Knowledge
Wisdom is fortified by mindful Revelations
Introspect, however, is founded upon Truth
Kindness reveals an amount of Enlightenment
Strength derives true power by a quest for Justice
Perseverance is required to attain meaningful Justice
Solitude is generally a prerequisite for Rapture
Compassion is often generated by Enlightenment
Learning may often lead to Knowledge
Endurance comes from struggles discerning Truth
Priorities are usually created by significant Revelations
Empowerment can result from reviewing Revelations
Cleanliness of lifestyle roots in absolute Justice
Momentary can be the glimpse of Truth
Reassurance is offered by passing Rapture
Lasting is the leverage of meaningful Knowledge
Fleeting could be unrecognized Enlightenment
Blindness of thought shows absence of Enlightenment
Ignorance of intellect has not any Revelations
Nothingness of spirit is a pit without Knowledge
Desperation of intent reflects a void of Justice
Life of enjoyment is only half lived with no Rapture
All that is amounts for not lacking any Truth
Openness of heart comes to us from Truth
Generosity, however, comes through Enlightenment
Rejuvenation of essence is presented by Rapture
Goals for living are made available through Revelations
Dignity of courage is typically derived from Justice
Empathy for others results from Knowledge
So as it has been shown, Rapture can not manifest without Truth
As should be known, Knowledge can lead oneself to Enlightenment
And, if one truly seeks Revelations they must quest for Justice

Enlightenment, A Sonnet of Sorts
One must wonder why we endure and toil
Visions of gold persist with no clear end
Recent Divine visits to a close friend
Burns truth despite learned blinders of foil
Offers Knowledge clear as oceans of oil
Culture diverts most needs while wants transcend
Presence persists while the morals do bend
Misled leaders proclaim deny the soil
Road signs and the airwaves are clear to show
There He was seen on a recent visit
While most inquire through eyes broken with doubt
There Truth was for any seeking to know
Answers came forth were shown and still emit
Though most merely wander to and about
To be aware of the Divine in kind
Learning only comes to open clear minds

Life: A Team Effort?
April 11th, 2010
Is a happy life a team effort as opposed to a competition to a desired end? Surely it makes sense that a happy life is dependent on our family, friends, and peers. However, much of our modern life seems to erroneously teach us that, in general, peers are often competitors to any desired end. Could such a misguided outlook be a reason that unhappiness appears so abundant to many these days? Just asking.....

Where is It?
January 6th, 2010
When one seeks That which may complete themself, they should not forget to look in the most unlikely of places to find It. It might just be there.
