Silence

***

Cast out our sin
Come to us
Enter in Christ
born in us
Silent stars go by
No ear may hear
Descend blessings
world of sin
Born in us today
Keep watch
Sleep silent stars
Everlasting Light
Oh Holy Christ
Fear sin
Holy birth
Praise God
Darkness shineth
Mortals sleep
Heaven above
O holy Child
Meet there tonight 
Impart glad tidings
Oh holy love
Wondering love
Fathered love
Blessings love
Born of Mary
Wonderous gift given
King of peace
Both human
Meek souls
Human hearts
Morning stars
Together
Receive him
Everlasting peace
Everlasting love
Everlasting light
Abide
Deep dreamless sleep
We pray

I'm Finally Free…. 🕊️ I've scattered What did it even matter Looking back now Don't understand How I went down Your highway So fast It was crystal clear It couldn't last Now I'm out back In the shadows With the creepy crawlers Slytherin in the bayou's  Before the sun It shone so bright Now there's only darkness Tell me where is the light At least I can see You're a dead end for me Apart from you at last Thru my suffering I'm finally free 🕊️ David Arndt January 29th, 2023 🕊️ January 31st, 2023 🕊️ Artwork - The Bride and the Wind by Oskar Kokoschka

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...
