Useless Shuffles
There beneath fragments of time
The muse does nudge this pain of mine
Rekindling tears of distance past
When what was prized, it did not last
There among the halls of mind
What was lost again I find
Within this moment, chained not free
Just loneliness is what I see
There outside the fires glow
Another face this world I show
For troubles shared do burdens bring
Alone will face this horrid thing
There above the graves of time
I fought for what I thought was mine
But empty-handed now I stand
on distant, hostile, barren land
There between the mind and will
Steps will press from toe to heel
But useless even when stroke's long
For that moment needed, now's long gone

Me...
Though happy I can't shake my tail
Though mostly moisture, not a well
Though change does come not seasons be
I'm but a man that they call me
Though multicolored rainbow not
Though constant stand I am not spot
Though half the legs of horse, yet free
That single man that called but me
Though one of many, part of all
Though neither short and neither tall
Though lacking wings for not a bee
That single thing by name of me
Though leaves have not to keep me warm
Though rock am not, nor passing storm
Not mountain top nor river free
Am but thing just known as me
Though some may love and some may hate
I swing at times though not a gate
I am content yes just to be
That little thing that's known as me

Eddy’s 10 Laws of Living
1. Bad comes we can't change that, but we can choose HOW we will react
to it. Life is a series of actions and reactions and it is our REactions that
determine the path we walk and where we arrive in the end.
It is by OUR choices we land in the current state of today and it will be
by our choices where we will be standing tomorrow.
2. It is not the passing through of lives that matters but rather
what we learn within those experiences of temporary meetings.
Each person who passes through our life affects us in positive or
negative ways, but even the negative are by our choosing for we
determine how we REact to their actions of hate, love, friendship, or
whatever else may come.
3. Perfection is a goal to aim for and not actual value of present existence,
for anything in the state of perfection would be unchanging and we need
only look around to see ALL is in the state of change and hence nothing in
this world is perfect.
4. Real love is unconditional and any that has conditions attached is
not really love but only illusions of the wants of love to be molded to
our expectations of what we think it is and not what it actually is,
pure emotion with no personal or preconceived attachments whatsoever.
Anytime the phrase "You don't love me because" is said, it shows the false
love and not the real because of the conditions the come after that
statement, personal applied conditions trying to mold what love is into
what we think love should be. Love never changes, only we do.
5. It's not about you or me, but rather about us as a whole. For we rise
and fall as a whole unit. So the failure to raise up those around you also
prevents your ultimate rise to the top. We either create enemies or friends by our actions and caring or lack of it towards other people.
6. Happiness is an internal state and can not be maintained through
the external. Things are only illusions of happiness for if they were not
the feelings of happiness would not fade and we would have no need for
the continual collecting of anything newer and bigger over and over
again. (Clothes, cars, home, people)
7. Time is limited and gives no guarantee of tomorrow. All we have is
this present moment. One that we either enjoy or waste by the choice of
how we live it. Time does not care what choice you make when spending it
for it is impartial in and of itself, therefore spend your time wisely and
complain not when you applied it wrongly for the time to change things
if right now, we can never change the past.
8. Duality is the ingredient of existence and in it you will find the basis
of all truth. Think of two balls with a line drawn between them, one white
and one black representing the two states of all existances. Anything outside
the pure ends is but gray zones created for and by man in an attempt of trying
to change true reality into a new reality that fits his/her own mind. Belief in
anything does not make it. So too real truth can never be changed by wishful thinking. All states/questions/observations should be reduced down to a
to simple yes and no answer for in the maybe lays the very lies of mankind itself.
9. Outward competition is sure path to failure for only when we compete with
our self do we follow the path of what we are seeking and not what others think
we should seek. Individualized progress comes in the helping of and not competition against others. For all men are poor losers at heart and will lay in wait to bring about your future downfall if the opportunity arises which in turn keeps both of you from achieving full potentials. We all have strengths and weaknesses and through coming
together we will fill in the missing parts of each other, thus both achieving more
in the end, if vanity and jealousy are both held in check.
10. Any true religion will only be giving and never taking for they will understand we are all one and raise or fall as a group. Any organization that belittles another one is nothing more than a cult and holds not truth within it's heart but only hatred and greed to raise above and stomp out what they deem as their competition to the intake of money and building of their purses.
Therefore stay true to yourself, but hurt no one
along the way...
Hugs and Happy Holidays
