David Arndt Forgotten Words Poetry

Sometimes It's Hard To Contain One's Love....... ❤️ 🕊️ I know I'm overwhelming, and I'm sorry for my excess and extravagance at times... I know it can be too much for people,... I just can't help myself, I'm just full of so much passion and love I just can't contain myself, and I don't want to... 🕊️ But we have to take care of ourselves, we can't have like idiotic compassion idiotic compassion does not help anyone especially oneself 🕊️ Life is hard yes, but if one lives with an open heart, we feel everything and that's good cuz otherwise they would be no beauty but we have to feel it all yes, It is hard but it's a good hard 🕊️ Still it's hard for me to feel other suffering, and not know what to do, or to feel shut down and not feel it 🕊️ Life is fragile fleeting and quick 🕊️ Have to appreciate the moment, it's easy to get lost and not recognize that but then we find our way back 🕊️ There's a gentleness I really appreciate,...

I Want To Live And Love As Fully As Possible Now, Not Another Wasted Second… 🕊️ I feel deep sadness, I can see all human beings vast as space, most never really experienced love and it's such a lonely feeling and I feel a little powerless to help 🕊️ I see someone or something It's hazy but something has happened to them I don't know if they're in danger or something's happen but it feels a little bit out of control, outside of my control I look at the faces I can't tell if it's me, because I think I'm trying to help, but they seem to be behind a window I kept find the words 🕊️ But life it does I feel feels fragile and I can see you not in person but maybe in my mind and does his feeling of how we can't control things and just feel like I want nothing ever bad to happen to you and feel scared because I couldn't make sure for certain nothing bad will happen with you but I would do anything to make sure nothing happened bad happened to you 🕊️ I ...

I'm Not Afraid To Love You 💜 I'm not afraid love you Even if my heart quivers Even if Imagining you gone Not in my life Or in this world Makes me shiver Sometimes when I speak your name I almost stutter My heart flutters But I stay open The window to my soul It's never shuttered I know I'm in imperfect But I'm honest and true And you know how deeply Oh so deeply I love you Even if I'm afraid sometimes At my core I am fearless I'd take a bullet for you When it comes to my heart I give it all to you I only want To live my life With one woman And that's you Every word  I've written Is sealed In my heart's blood It's true Join me On this journey of spirit  Together in this world There's nothing we can't accomplish With love in our hearts united There's nothing we can't do…💕 💜 David Arndt November 30th, 2022 💜 Artwork - What Is Love by Mohammed Alnaser

Reflecting on the Death of the Buddha *** Of the four main pilgrimage sites of the Buddha, where he was born, attained enlightenment, first taught, and where he died, it is the place of the Budda's death that I find most powerful. Kushinagar, where the Buddha died, is really off the beaten path in India. There are often very few people there, no vendors selling their wares. It is peaceful, quiet, full of grace, awe, and wonder. It is not a sad place. There is a transcendent quality, a silent power, that stills the mind of its everyday chatter. Kushinagar, for me, is a place where the cycle of death is broken. These bodies, so fragile. We all drop them like a snake shedding its skin. We slouch towards Bethlehem. We fall to Hades. We look upward to heaven, clear blue sky. Shamans sing their songs, calling us to remember. All these dreams we take to be real. Death is always in the room, the great equalizer. We ignore the awareness of death at our peril. Virtual realities, endl...
