Topic: Are you driven by the questions?

I often find myself swimming in comteplative waters ... wondering of existence and my place in it.

Oftentimes my questioning ... or multiple streams of consciousness thoughtforms ...inspire the visual art I do.

One example is the following which became the catalyst for a digital art project I did a couple of years ago.

Do you need to know the answers to your contemplative musings? or are you happy rolling around in the questions?

And what kinds of things do you wonder?




If there is a place
where time is not
would you still be ruled
by the ticking clock?

And what of faith
when you've lost your way
would you still trust
the light of day?

And when you wake
from your daily sleep
what thought of yesterday
do you still keep?

I wonder ...

Are you the dreamer
or is it the dreamer's dream I see?

Did you create the dance?
or did the dance create thee?

Im constantly questioning authority......I question everything, I analyze everything, with my brain, my heart, the vibe people put out, everything is abstract and not, questioning and rarely getting the answers.....

Dearest lady:

It's important to question everything in life.
The more we wonder, the closer we get to our path, and while we aare in our path, we have to keep questioning ourselves, if the steps we are taking are the right ones.

I would be worried if i wouldn't have any questions at all, and I don't worry if I don't have the answers right now, what matters is that i don't quit walking.

Sometimes I am very content in my contemplative musings, other times I am driven to know the answers, whether I get them or not is an entirely different thread lol


Some of the things I think about ..oh boy

Do bats pee in their own face when they hang upside down in a cave?

What if the Earth was a triangle, would all the oceans and mountains have these angles in them?

Who exactly is Murphy and why are his laws such a pain in my butt?


Where do Angel's fear to tread??


Are we really here , or are we simply a figment of something greater's imagination?


Does the grass laugh?


Where is my home??

Confused Clarity

I sit in silent wonder, to put my thoughts to ink
For lost in my confusion, it always helps me think
A better understanding, is reason for my rhyme
And though I may learn nothing, it does help pass the time

I'm not the worlds richest man, but when I think a while
I'm surely not the poorest, for I can share a smile
And if I had the riches, that so many others crave
Like them, it would be hard to smile, just another slave

Me, I'd always share my wealth, with any man in need
Instead of living off his pain, to wallow in my greed
I'd rather have a simple life, make other people smile
Seek to clean the air we breathe, not worry what's in style

And what is with our government, always preaching fear?
Always raising taxes, and their spending every year
Why must there always be a need, to start another war?
Why can't we take those billions, and start to feed the poor?

Build houses for the homeless, and educate a child
Instead of killing thousands, and say it makes us proud
Wave a flag, we can't salute, then take away the Lord
From state, and church, and home and school, My God! They must be bored!

And how are we supposed to live, with prices on the rise?
Fire all those bureucrats, hire someone wise!
Someone who knows morals, and nobility of cause
Not some jerk who thinks himself, disasters Santa Clause!

Lets do away with money, and pay our way with deeds
Then see how life progresses, and who has special needs
Let's do away with food stamps, put pride into our farms
Start growing food for people, instead of building arms!

It's sad to think our soldiers die, for rights we can't employ
Like liberty and happiness, pursuits we can't enjoy
Our leaders take us deeper, and deeper into debt
And tell us to feel safer, with the little that we get

As usual, I'm still confused, yet put my thoughts to pen
I tell myself "I am but one, where can I begin?"
And now that I have written, I'll end it with this note
I may be poor, and only one, BUT I STILL HAVE A VOTE!
