self-centered rut of denial

Depressing songs and inspirations here and there. Sunsets that make me weep. Disaster. Love. And everything in between. You want to let it drive? You want to dance in these records? Well Picasso said to steal, but not in that way. Not someone's soul but their creation... and he didn't mean a father's son or self-centered attitudes of denial. Look at a mirror. Then be a judge. look at the river and then try to cleanse. look down the hall and see if you can see the Buddhist monk living in a stream of consciousness or if he is even awake... but first you would have to be awake yourself and know what IS. but knowing the is becomes a challenge for some people. And knowing love and peace, and the grace of something that creates that which is behind the beauty takes courage. And believing in it takes faith. But you must have faith in yourself first... Faith that you know what is... that you are not in a self-centered rut of denial.
