The clock on the wall keeps ticking, but the hands no longer move…
Because Time no longer motivates me.
Voices argue down the street, louder and louder, but the words no longer mean…
Because language never truly captured or communicated what was real.
Sadness, sorrow, grief wash over me, but tears no longer fall…
Because acceptance of what is, is, and my heart does not resist.
Peace wraps itself around me, as my eyes begin to lose their focus…
Because clarity comes to the Observer, relieved of earthly pleasures.
And I see…
That I am not alone, nor disconnected here from Others; rather we are joined in spirit, thought, and understanding. Holding “hands” as all we’ve known drops out beneath us. Free floating in a place without gravity to hold us, without severity to sink us. Gently holding on to what is real for each of us… in a space with no time, no boundaries, no real limitations. Just us. And what each has chosen to live with…
I will not judge you on your choices, for I have made my own. And each will be responsible for whatever seeds we’ve sown. There is no “right” or “wrong” here, and “fairness” does not exist. A redefinition is occurring of what we once called Justice.
The truth, as I see it (little “t” intended), is that choices surround us All. Depending on your perspective, belief and expectation, you alone can choose what path calls loudest to you…
Some may face a fork ahead, choosing left or right; envisioning a world where all is black or white…
Some may face a crossroads, where many paths may merge; joining forces, they move on to where their spirits urge…
Some may find themselves at the center of a wheel; all paths entering, even circling, but never truly leaving…
Whatever path awaits you, friends, I trust you will choose well. At least you will decide your fate, as only you can for yourself. And if you feel helpless, drowning in the chaos, chained to time and space…? Try letting go completely, before it drags you down…
Detachment…? Or apathy?
Surrender…? Or acceptance?
Cowardice…? Or conscience?
The choice is always yours…
the otherhood of one 
always yours

Hi Lisa
I do like the images and concepts you have put out in this post. These are some of the antidotes we need to the needless anger and venom which pervades the common spite-ground of mainstream social media.
Ideal words for writers.
Re-blogged.
All the best
Roger

If i was a real devout christian, but I am. That i believe the creator gave us “a choice”. We all have our moments, and when we do such choices and decisions, we fall and get up and make it through. Coz we went through life, by our admission of “choices”.

Rigorous conjunction of words redefining ‘truth’.
