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 […]

Once More, With Feeling

~~~~~ What do we anticipate tomorrow holds? If filled with hope or harsh trepidation, it will not be tomorrow when it comes. What we thought, or not, infinite variations. ~~~~~ People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Unite the World! ~~~~~ See more of […]

Ever Shifting Terrain

Just Hanging ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ The sweet trilling of the flowers, baritone voices from an old grove. Neighbors for thousands of years find new sympathies to share or embellish the same stories, again, old conflicts in different ways than on myriad other days, other years. Bees buzz between boles, intent upon the bright […]

Perspective

Event Horizon ~ Philip Brent Harris Cannot explain this to you since it’s still a mystery to me. In time, from a different view it may be something I can see. ~~~~~ People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Unite the World! ~~~~~ See […]

Distance Between

Blushing Beauty ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Would that I could hold the blush upon the sweet rose you sniff within my mind, strolling the gardens paths with you again. Most not ours alone but our life sweeter for the blooms, fruits, peaceful prospects spreading before us to refresh our spirits. I see you still […]

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 […]

Need to Learn

~~~~~ Without the roots and flowers how will we survive? The answer is unknown, at least for now. Mostly, no one now alive will know. Witness the lost of humanity to know how we’ll live. No matter what, the end will arrive. To survive the near term, what peril we’ll face is unknown. Is there […]

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 […]

Songs of War ~ Songs of Peace

~~~~~This is an older piece, but it never seems to go out of date. And will the savage songs of war never end,Replaced by simple, sweet songs of peace?How can we, forever, our loved ones send,Knowing they will feed the slavering beast? Do we wonder why we never grow sane,When the best, the brightest are […]

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. […]
