Desire Realigning, by Mervyn Brady

So rein in desire, do not desire----better sunshine, more food and turn your Eros to the Soul.  

The Greeks said that Eros gives wings to Psyche (the Soul).  

I say desire and its realigning is a most potent weapon in the arsenal of the true Philosopher.  

 It is interesting to sit down and really ask, what am I doing with my Eros?  

Christian morality messed with this one and connected Eros and Desire with the outlawed sexual functions?  

William Blake makes many references to Desire, of its proper uses.  

Do not just say the words and expect something to happen.  

Tomorrow morning your machine will wake up again--- what do you desire?? 

Desire to change, see what happens.  

This is the secret…  Using the energy of Desire, to be present. 

~Mervyn J. Brady

What I have to put up with ....

The Hard Shell of Imminence


I did not want to hear
Those words about it
Inevitable but hidden away
as sure as today is tonight, but not
as day is to night, death is to me.

It has thought me alive
Not otherwise as I believe
Until now, speaking with one I love
My first thoughts wept tears of loss
Crushing the hard shell of imminence.

This is only the beginning.

POETRY: Balance

Balance Where the song's beat is both fun and simple in practice making conscious a continuum range's spectral in-flux, proceedings are exercises in error recovery that's valid where there's no doubt that your head is calm and still. The essence of this infinity mirrors eternity, space/energy Why I ever thought that still point of thought, was poetry had more to do with how little life seemed aware, messy for such a singleminded obsessive focus over the details. 11/2013, rjd
