Manifest Destiny

Here's to enlightenment... nicely penned

Hello and thank you dear LDF.

Looks like the first steps into the world of Stoicism....old world religions and new age spirituality have had their place in our lives, but I've discovered that Stoicism offers practical solutions that are far more applicable to the daily mundane struggle of life. Not giving a fuck is one of the early steps. You learn to better focus exactly where to give a fuck, manifesting your best footsteps forward....

Not giving a fuck is liberating.
I really enjoyed your poem.

I was thinking recently how
in today's day and age...

You practically have to
be homeless to be free...

I was thinking about how
the homeless get to appreciate nature more than many with homes...

And that link is so important,
which I think this piece speaks to...

You need to be plugged in to nature
to find your destiny, I believe...

Just so many trappings in this modern age...

But I see beauty in every path...

Thank you for this insightful comment. Very much found value in your words. My cool thought for the day: Shoes....shoes separate us from the earth and our connection to the earth. A simple grounding meditation is to visualize energy flowing up from the ground, through your feet, circulating (as energy does) and existing through the hands (if you were practicing healing massage as I once did). I think my point is that feeling this earth energy would be much easier w/o shoes. I kind of think this is why so many people don't feel grounded or connected to the earth but idk... I have a friend that hikes barefoot all the time for just this reason, she might come back cold and tired but she also radiates energy you can feel... Anyway, a cool insight in trade for your words.    

Abso-fucking-lutely...

Manifest destiny comes for us all.
The endless struggle with the gods and fate.
And all of the masks we must wear...
The gods of mediocrity are so powerful now.
Forever seeking the gods of passion and love.
And it seems they have left no footsteps behind.
Becoming so much harder to find.
So we must make our own way always searching.

I do not believe you have ever needed a guide, your passion is your guide that leaves no room for mediocracy. You manifest your destiny on a daily basis which I'm sure can be quite challenging. You're right of course, I think the gods of mediocracy are extremely powerful and they have either replaced or killed the devil him/herself and taken that power. Well, it is not in me to submit to the power of the gods no matter who or what they are, I kinda think you're the same in this regard
