Like Most Things
Much Laughter ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Days gone by since I’ve let my thoughts express my thoughts. What the atman passes through me. Some, I write originate with me. Some, I attempt to capture before they slip away from me. I don’t know how it works for others, poets, writers, artists. Which, like most […]
Until We’re Gone
~~~~~ Must we always hack our way through the most difficult stretch of the world? For, if we look, we’ll find our own path. Our trail may have trials but grants us with treasures we have hidden along the way. Our core expressed as only we can, even while others fail to notice; cannot comprehend […]
Sing to Me Sweetly
~~~~~ Sing to me sweetly. I would know your song. Let it infuse my marrow, join my half heart. I shall be carried on the lift and lilt of music, until I realize I’ve known your tune all along. More, that you have known my tune as well, words conveying wonders I hope all witness. […]
At Last
~~~~~ There is infinite time in space. There is infinite space in time. Whatever you think you feel, may not, in any way, be real. What does it matter if nothing has sense, if this is pretense? Change the present, not past. Can we begin change at last? ~~~~~ People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! […]
Thoughts About Winning
~~~~~ Everyone I know likes to win, games, contests, lotteries or almost anything. Winning makes us believe the universe or the (G)god or gods we believe in have noticed us. More, not only have they noticed us, they approve. I’ve never quite grasped the concept that some supreme being, responsible for the entire universe, spared […]

What we thought, or not, infinite variations. ~~~~~ People Over Politics, World Over Wealth!

Never About

Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Unite the World! ~~~~~ See more of my creative offerings […]
Celestial Illumination
~~~~~ The starlight pierces me unto my heart and soul. It reveals the vastness within me, connection. Everyone, with no true separation between us, anyone or anything till we realize we pierce the stars as they pierce us. ~~~~~ People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy […]
Paths
Sun and Shadow ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Till you have encompassed, are encompassed by being. Yours, mine and everyone’s and everything’s which we know now in part or in all. Freely sacrifice the wisdom we’ll claim, to incorporate deep knowledge we’ll teach, adopt to grow and go along paths that life always learns. Love […]
Screams, Wake Up (Cont.)
~~~~~ Slowly and surely, softly and silently the unexpected creeps in. Shhhhh. Until it whacks us upside the head, screams, “Wake Up,!” until we do. We would have this world beautiful. Yet, sometimes it’s not, nor can it be. So we would rob it of its future truth Claiming our truth is all that matters. […]
