The Fork, The Fire, The Flame
Ideas, impressions, sense refined,
A mirror held to humankind.
Passions burn where reason treads,
A slave to what the heart has fed.
Virtue, vice—no logic's claim,
But echoes felt in pleasure's name.
Hume’s tools cut through belief’s facade,
To find no truth in man or God.
A mirror held to humankind.
Passions burn where reason treads,
A slave to what the heart has fed.
Virtue, vice—no logic's claim,
But echoes felt in pleasure's name.
Hume’s tools cut through belief’s facade,
To find no truth in man or God.

Knowledge, "belief" and TRUTH
Belief, the spark that starts our chase,
Truth, the light we seek to trace.
Justification, the proof we claim,
Together they build knowledge’s flame.
Belief in what we think we know,
Truth must follow, or it won’t grow.
Justification always leads the way,
Or else our truth begins to sway.
Belief, though firm, it can lead astray,
Truth must be present, come what may.
Justification, always clear and bright,
Brings our darkness into light.
But luck, like shadows, bends the line,
Truth may falter, knowledge...

Bound by Time ...
We are all brothers and sisters through time,
no matter the generation before or yet to come,
we share the same thoughts and feelings.
Just as you feel when you look out into the oceans and watch the waves,
this was how I felt.
Just as you experience frustration in the tangle of everyday life,
I too lived in days filled with frustration.
Just as you are one of many in a crowd,
I too was a face among the countless.
Just as you are refreshed by the river’s gentle flow,
I too was cleansed and renewed.
Just as you seek relief on a...

A Portal to Imaginations End ...
Through the Avo green ferns, the bushes, the ancient trees,
a green building rises, clothed in olive hues,
its glass windows reflecting the whispers of leaves.
The door stands wide, an invitation wrapped in light,
a flamboyant couch waits, adorned in vivid patterns,
like stories etched into fabric, each thread a tale
of minds cradled in comfort, hearts alight with wonder.
Inside, authors spirits adorn old oak shelves giving the air a scent of the timelessness of their presences,
the shelves with books of all sizes, stretch to the ceiling like tall...

The Agnostic’s Paradox: A Dialogue with Socrates
In a garden shaded, wise and deep,
Where silent thoughts like shadows creep,
A question echoed through the air,
What is truth, and who will care?
A stranger came with searching eyes,
A soul unmoored, lost in disguise,
And saw, in Socrates, a guide,
A sage who asked, but never lied.
“Tell me, great sage, what can you know?
Is there a truth that we can show?”
Socrates smiled, his eyes aglow,
“A question asked, yet more to go,
For truth is like the wind you feel,
Invisible, but it’s so real.
It moves us...

Reflections of the Summoned
The world of man is a canvas of paradoxes filled with absurdity and contradiction, stretched apart taut between light and shadow, the known and the unknown.
There are those who walk in this mundane world, this reality might seems as solid as stone, but in truth, it is porous.
Unseen to mortal eyes, the spirits of the Goetia roamed the peripheries of existence, their essence seeping into the cracks of human desire, fear, and ambition.
In the chambers of their ethereal court, the 72 gathered as the...

Sanity
We spend our whole adult life
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in

MENTALLY GO AWAY
If you had the chance to be any other place, 🤔 where will you go to escape from the very negativity, and drama and confusion and chaos. 😞 For sure what if there, were a far away place that existed, in a different time and space and place. 🤨 What would you give to be in that, kind of mentally state of well-being in your own subconscious thoughts. 🤔 For what if I told you that a place, like that does really exist in the very deepness, within your own thoughts of your mind. 🧠 Truly can put you in touch, within the very presence of the power, that you alone...

Assumptions in the Information Age.
Yes,

read my book.

Don't Be A Dick ...!
Oh, children, come gather, and listen in close,
To a tale of behaviors that bother the most!
A lesson in kindness, as quick as a tick:
This little mantra, don’t be a dick.
Imagine young Larry, quite rude in his ways,
Who butted in line at the fairgrounds for days.
He’d push, he’d shove, with a grin so wide,
Till they tossed his ass right out for his rude little pride!
Then there’s Miss Claire, who’s quite the chatter,
But always she talks as if no one else matters.
She’ll cut in mid-sentence,...

It Is About Us All
For those who are dejected
at what election night brought
didn’t roll away way
I just want to share what I was taught
You may not have won
but if are still trying you haven’t failed
though I know the fear is
any opposition will be jailed
Yes there was a time when
Pete Seeger, Paul Robeson were blacklisted
harassed, scorned, ridiculed
opposition was tight fisted
But they served as models for other
how to oppose and not subsidize hate
still heroes in my eyes
no I must believe it isn’t to...
