Going Home
Mar 21st, 2007 at 2:35pm
 
...


If I get any more at loose ends I’ll be too free. I suppose I am a free spirit. Born into a cloud of hippies who had such idealisms. We had our place. We dreamed ourselves into existence. We shouted and blustered and cried and laughed and now they say we are baby boomers, a drain on the social security system perhaps. Not counting on that as money means diddley squat to me just like all social institutions mean the same.
  Now these days I dream myself out of existence. I pick up pen and write it down not knowing where it leads to. Feelings are transient, not precious. The call of home is precious but I’ve forgotten on purpose my home and if I remembered fully the funny thing is I might not even want to go home yet if I could do that.
   I could go I suppose. I do get one of those happy transient feelings to think of exiting my flesh and bone. My body has been as good to me as it could. Got me from point A to point B by placing one foot in front of another. I put food in, food out, made love in it, produced two fine, chubby little round-headed, mischievious kids in it. I put some drugs in it once, never realizing I could all by myself, duplicate the drugged feelings in my mind and soul and spirit. And it’s so much less expensive to it my way.
   Now here I am happy to stay, happy to leave, perfectly balanced on the precipice of life and death. It simply matters not. So I have to listen intently for direction. Direction from where? From home I suppose.
  The religious part of me I call DP is from home and Dead Preacher would say to say this only: “Where would you have my feet go? What would you have my lips speak? What would you have my hands to busy themselves with?” Ah, yes, I am free. And being free, one looks back to when they were not free, but bound to job, house, people, planet and fear.
  It was not so bad looking back, not at all. It was a highway to here, where freedom lent it’s vistas of never-ending splendor.
   Bless your station in life wheresoever you find yourself. It is temporary as the seasons. One day you will return and see if you did it right. You may not have done it right, but based on your knowledge at the current time, you did what you thought was right and couldn’t do it any other way. The best advice is throw out the guilt of it all. Guilt is a slayer of innocense and a cruel ruler. Something loves us fiercely and knows we but dream of our separation from love. This something hovers and swoops up the desperate in their final hour of doom, transporting them to that love we have never known here, but have forgotten. Then, that is true freedom, then we reclaim our innocense and we play once more in the kingdom we created. The intelligence of the heart journey is superceded by nothing else. Listen to your heart; you are here; the X on the map; what did you do to be so blessed to own your life? You must have been honored. Quiet your fears so you can hear love speak, then you will know, you are at home and there is none so beautiful as the enlightened ones who have reclaimed their memories.

Remember though, just because you may be ready to go, it doesn't necessarily mean you don't have more left to give and teach the rest of us.  I'm sure you have more than just the one book in you Alysia!   Wink

Your words are truly inspired Chuckles! They resonate "Home" all over them... true Home.

That was very powerful.

Thank you,

Content..it reads as true contentment to me..

That's a funny word.  You can read it two ways and have two entirely different meanings.

This one:

content


adjective
Having achieved satisfaction, as of one's goal: fulfilled, gratified, happy, satisfied. See happy

Not:

con·tent 1    (kntnt) KEY 

NOUN:

Something contained, as in a receptacle. Often used in the plural: the contents of my desk drawer; the contents of an aerosol can.
Tongue

And what better goal for life than to be content where you are?

Simon and Garfunkel  from 70's

I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one man band

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Everyday's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptyness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Silently for me
Silently for me

-------------------

Many smiles to you.  Those are Beautiful words, Alysia, and so healing and uplifting....this song, of course, has more of a longing quality to it....and we all long for something, sometimes not knowing what it really is.  

It is beautiful when Contentment is found, when Home is where you hang your hat, where all whom you see are your Loved ones, where your own Music is heard wherever you are, and where your own inner Joy is your daily destination as well as companion.

much love, blink Smiley

yes Shirley Smiley contentment contained in my body light cells, my body a container only.
heres another fine folk song u reminded me of Blink: used to practice it in the 60's:
How many times have u heard someone say
if I had his money I'd do things my way?
how little they know that its so hard to find
one rich man in a hundred
with a satisfied mind.
when my life is over my time has run out
my friends and my loved ones
I'll leave theres no doubt
but theres one thing for certain
when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

I guess I lived the words, although I didn't know it till now.
now u guys got me thinking...I've got a whole rote of things to write so talk later!
now I know why I come here..because of you guys fire me up...
