POETRY:IN NATURE – Victor Paalvast

In nature it becomes clear
that we don’t need
that which we hold dear
cars, clothes, and money
are things all people desire
but clinging to them isn’t funny
best course would be to throw them on the fire
let them burn
and feel your world turn
things we think we need
all dictated by greed.

In nature it becomes clear
that we don’t need
those people we hold so dear
mothers, fathers, and loves
all as innocent as doves
but when attachment gains hold
the heart grows cold
with humanity paying the cost
when Universal Love is lost.

In nature it becomes clear
that we don’t even need
this Self we hold so dear
goals, dreams, and desires
these do not fuel the Soul’s fires
so forget all worldly aims
don’t seek after fortunes and fames
rather look inside yourself
and increase your spiritual wealth
tap into divine bliss
and discover Life as God’s eternal kiss.

Not that I needed re-convincing since regularly I’m the irregular normal person at the international annual convention of practitioners who see things differently. Whenever they feature that multi-humped camel in their closing ceremonial parade shaped […]

ROBERT CASTAGNA – TERMINAL

Terminal I stood at the airport carousel waiting.I was outside looking downseeing how solitary my world had become.Where had all the other passengers gone?Then suddenly the airport was full of people.The carousel was full of baggage.Nothing but black suitcases and overnight bags.And it no longer mattered which one you grabbed.One by one, they were taken.Some […]
