An Astonishing Light

Sometimes I feel the meat of a poem, sometimes the title comes first. This is one of those times.

Thoughts and words formulate in my mind about what it takes to feel a life surrounded by light, even without it being perfect - nothing is perfect

What does it take?

Courage? Fearlessness? Commitment? Partnership? Love? A mission? Grace?

I think this poem won't get written for a while because I have to figure out my own answer to the question

But I know she's there waiting for me

And in the meantime, The Imaginal Bells will come first. Cover by nostr:nprofile1qqs9l7uwrd4k98qwxjsp87ff36aswkde3g7jgq5ezcep6h45y4dkwdgprpmhxue69uhkxun9v968ytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qys8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn9d9h82mny0fmkzmn6d9njuumsv93k2tcprfmhxue69uhhqatjv9mxjerp9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshsrf5mts πŸ₯ΉπŸ«‚

Late night reading when I should be sleeping

Hardcore fan, but I haven't had time for Alien: Earth yet. I've heard the SFX are cinema quality. That the story line is very good.

I just don't have time to spend on it right now.

I wish more people halted their progress towards becoming a fully blown media wanker

The courage it takes to create is the same courage it takes to live with an open heart

Rollo May on creativity and courage:

'A choice confronts us. Shall we, as we feel our foundations shaking,

withdraw in anxiety and panic? Frightened by the loss of our familiar

mooring places, shall we become paralyzed and cover our inaction with apathy? If we do those things, we will have surrendered our chance to participate in the forming of the future. We will have forfeited the distinctive characteristic of human beings - namely, to influence our evolution through our own awareness...

'Or shall we seize the courage necessary to preserve our sensitivity,

awareness, and responsibility in the face of radical change?...

'We are called upon to do something new, to confront a no man’s land, to

push into a forest where there are no well-worn paths and from which no one has returned to guide us... To live into the future means to leap into the unknown, and this requires a degree of courage...

'This courage will not be the opposite of despair. We shall often be faced with despair, as indeed every sensitive person has been... courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.'

I found the shitcoin of shoes...

Not worn in 10 years - true fiat and emblematic of my old life. Found them as I clear out all my old crap.

Nostr doesn't have to be about philosophising in every moment.
