If a tree falls in the woods…

Post by abstroint » July 4th, 2006, 11:13 pm

Is there a retreat or escape route when you are your own POW?

Careful getting trapped under the rubble
Of another’s explosive internal battles
Anyone surviving their own IED attacks
Is likely to blow YOUR head off
Just for being in the vicinity
Yes, run, if you have nothing vested in it
Otherwise take notes

The system IS caste
From beginning to end
You are trapped inside of yourself
Your brain a programmed computer
Coded before and after you
Are considered you
Good luck rewriting your code
If you manage it
No one will know you
Good luck if no one recognizes you
For you
Baby that means you got no love
But for those who are fortunate to have at least a record keeper
Who shares your process, progress and/or failures
Those who love
Devoted to

“I’d die with out you” *

Were you
Recording this?

If no one sees the process does that mean that it doesn't take place?

so glad you responded...i wouldn't say it's as deep as being a fear but i dislike being misunderstood..."Can I get a witness?" exactly understood and it feels good

Oh, look at you writing up a storm

not a storm of regrets I hope

I hate entertaining regrets...they're sooooo rude! :wink:



I loved this. It was all emotion and heart tuggery!

and your title made me think this...

If a tree falls in the forest
and no one sees
and no one hears
does it mean no one cares?
or does it just mean they couldn't be there?
the down fall goes unnoticed
for a time
but eventually you have to step over the rotting decay
the signs stay
sad reminders
I used to walk with my head in the clouds but I kept getting struck by lightning!
Now my head twitches and I drool alot. Anonymouse

ps:

once or twice in my life I've been aware of a sense of feeling trapped inside my body
my mind or spirit or something awash in a feeling of cramped claustrophobia...
weird to say the least. An uneasy edgy feeling that I should not be clamped tight in here, contained, but out, out and about loose and free. An odd sensation that, and only lasts a few milliseconds, thankfully, but it was in my awareness temporarily nonetheless. Strange.

trapped behind the open door
the key is irrelevant

like your anticipation

what was coming
is gone again

& bits of code evolve

Mousey - No regrets, they are a frozen immobile waste of time. No, I just have a friend whose having a rough time. We’re not close so I’ve been keeping my distance but thinking about an invite for coffee.

Trees and no-one being there…no, it doesn’t mean you don’t care. If we’re talking about people who couldn’t be there it could mean that after weighting the risk against the gains they decided you weren’t worth the time…it could mean that it was decided to be best for you that they take their leave…it could mean that they didn’t care…it could mean many things…maybe they couldn’t watch…

I’ve been told there is one true constant, change. And yet, many of us carry the past with us missing all that is now for the weight. What’s done can’t be undone unless we’re talking about buttons or…and there is always an or for the constant changing.

The body is the vehicle we’re using through this phase of existence. You can get a paint job but if left too long to its own devices it will crash…sickness may be due to this entirely…stress is a time when people let go of the wheel and it causes higher risk for sickness…

Thank you for sharing your observations and love


~K – it may just be a mystery not meant to be solved, like where the hell Hoffa is buried…I’m not going to start an internal war over for the answers…what will be, will be…was, was, and so on

"if no one sees the process does that mean it doesn't take place?"

the one who performs the process is bound to see it, therefore it does take place. Now the recording is a different thing.

Ann - thank you, your right. i was thinking more of peoples refusal to see the end results of change, and asking those who will not allow themselves to see her as who she is after she evolves through what she's experiencing the question. either way i'll be there for my friend when she comes down from the clouds.

thank you for your comment, sometimes the most obvious answers are the most elusive
