Silver, where?

In the town of Weigh, all they have are knives and spoons.

There's no fork in Weigh.

Manifest the next

Is there some manifesting that can be done? The ideas must come, somehow, even in the wicked plans of men where they manifest their fear, which intensifies the dread which accentuates the "bad thoughts" from where the manifesting draws its power. Sounds like an evil ploy to me. We must manifest at a higher level, above a creek bed flowing with negativity and control. I'm not even suggesting specifics, because to do so would be a type of control in itself, to pretend like the solution is easy, is "right in front of our face", it's arrogance times a quintillion times infinity. How dare a man's mind determine to know the mind of God? I suggest optimism at its height, "good vibes", against the things you personally feel are wrong. Our opinions are our own, and are influenced by the opinions of others, but first they must become opinions, and they each originate in their own unique ways. The result of our manifesting will be new ideas, sparking in the new minds of children, sparking in a new being possessing the grit needed to "turn the tide". Be not deceived, however, for as the vibes go out, equal and opposing ideas will "become"; to understand this, one only needs to review history. People have entered this life, been born, lived and died, who have scarred all existence with their ideas and pursuits. Be still, and know, and pray without ceasing, for it is a war. But hide the words in your mouth, for to do otherwise is to point out the problem, incessantly complain about the thorn in the side, when the complaint is the creaking of a rusty gate. Consider that the gate opens, and closes (for why else would one have a gate?); for if it did not, it would merely need be a fence. Consider what goes in and out of the gate, and which side is enclosed. Consider the contents of the enclosure and the nature of said contents. Speaking has its own manifesting power. Fear only God, who says, "Vengeance is mine." Trust with all your heart, and lean not. Be in awe, but save your amazement, as the windows of Heaven open. With God all things are possible.

my only

I never make you feel beautiful, I guess I think you should already know you are.

You wake me in the morning; you kiss my eyelids to open them. I am forever yours.

If only

The current you has a misaligned desire to return to a past version of yourself, so that you can "do it all over" and "change some things".

Who you are today is a direct result of your entire life experience. So, even if you could go back, you would still be you, with all of your discouragement, disappointment, etc. If you are controlling, you will still try to control. If you are miserable, you will likely still be miserable. All of the elements of your past will not have changed. You will know more about life and who you do not want to be, but you will become ever more aware of the experiences that made you you. From the good, to the bad, to the amazing, to the terrible.

We can't go back. It is not God's will.

Change who you are today so the future you doesn't have a yearning to go back to the present you.

Orion the Hunter

something too easy might be a waste of time but

don’t go making things harder than they have to be

nothing worthwhile is easy

when getting up feels like giving up

true plans begin in hearts of men

surrounded on all sides

by the battered who refuse to fall in line

the hunter has a solitary thought:

“Obtain by force the blood of which I ought.”

skilled as though he is, the hunter always dies

sacrificed to fate without a prize

true plans begin in hearts of men

surrounded on all sides

by the hungry who refuse to fall in line

and lit at center stage,

illuminated ballad of the age

Orion shares his final thought

the sun will rise

and the hunter fades into the skies

Not a bible verse

Choose the fruitful path, and be diligent in it.

The next step in survival ironically is death

How does someone become so complacent that they are willing to settle for what life has to give them without going out to gather what life has available?
