Knowing Is Over / Everything Is Gratitude belongs to the following groups:
Complex Simplicity of Art, The Artistic Nude and WMGA sacred door has opened
There is no threshold to cross
The sky is a shared universe of love
The end of apart is found unique to all
Independence forms
There is no ownership of love
The sun does not dominate the galaxy
The root of ground lets go of its most high leaving
Here you are in the fiction of time
The watch is alone and present
The weight of gravity in mind lands home
Tears of joy return to the oceans of suns’ rays
The moment of moving is born eternal
Silence is center stage and is about to speak
Nothing is heard by all the worlds here
Applaud yourself
The comedy of eternal suffering is over
You are loved by humility now
Patience stands to exit the theatre of being still
You remain the form of choice
And enter life anew
Act one: The curtain disappears
You are a baby and as old as all ages throughout
The shape of your life knows death is a friend breathing countless last breaths
And the funniest soul rising is unknown by pain’s hold
Everything is gratitude

Mariam Muradian
My favorite line: “The root of ground lets go of its most high leaving”.
I encountered many roots today….in the garden and in my soul….stubborn, terrible, nourishing, beastly, far reaching, enduring, beginnings….pruned some, chopped some down, ripped some out, planted some, watered some. Some put up a fight, some didn’t.
We got roots and we got dirt….then there are the seasons.

Patience stands to exit the theatre of being still

And so the beauty of your soul receives what rings true within you. Now that is beauty beyond words! Thank you caroline.
And thanks for pulling the line that moved you so. I do love when this happens.

ah there is a stillness in this work that i have found in places of worship (where i tend to stand irrationally concerned about bursting into flame)
nonetheless powerful work indeed and i am a passionately dedicated atheist.
C.C. Arshagra replied
paul, I love your comment. So full of living mind. So deep with mortal ashes. I’m not clearly picking up on the word “nonetheless…” But I kind-da get it.
And thanks for stoping by! And thank you for finding a poem posted long ago. So few find or look at the older ones. I’m really grateful you did.
oh, my self-described atheist friends are the most unapologetically loving people I know.
love you man. Be.

oops! right about “nonetheless” my friend!!! twas a slip and hardly what i meant!! was manic as hell when i wrote so. it improves my insight perhaps but increases my mistakes in the details.
dunno whsat i DID mean atthat precise point.
to your final words in your reply my DEEP belief is that faith is a RISK towards norality and atheism more likely to sweeten life and meaning with compassion and love.
the notion of god is so tragically an excuse for brutality, for murder.
though a creful count of those slain by god in the bible (a refernce yes but one i trust) gives the number killed by GOD HIMSELF within, to me, the monstrous delusion of the bible.
endorsement of slavery, human sacrifice, misogyny, genocide. and so much fear. ‘godfearing’ to me is a foul and absurd, OBSCENE and ridiculous notion.
this in contrast to the sweet words of the wise man jesus.
though i have disscovered through my own researches, which i humbly (joke) would describe as vast and deep, that all but one of his parables were directly stolen from far older religions.
worship such a thing?? base your lifestyle on something like deuteronomy or revelations? how can this not be hypocritical folly.
faith in a god of love and compassion, however, can heal so very much.
i love you simply because of the beauty cearly shown in your heart and mind. wisdom is rare to the point of verging on extinction. and of course with my own lack of faith i ascribe this to your STRENGTH and not something you WERE GIVEN.
i wish and hope to meet you [personally. i think that my own strength driven ability will allow me this through fame and reward. cannot afford rent presently.
THIS WILL CHANGE FUCK IT!!
i will have reward in terms of the freedom to create that i need from cash resource, and the passionate desire to sway others towards developing meaning in their own lives (though this does not include arguing on a large scale for disbelif in the supernatural. too deeply held.)
it is so rare and such a deepl pleasure to meet one of the few to the point of vergiing on extiinction kindred in this world.
may i recomend a fellow wise man? tony ryan on this site.
a quote from one of the many almost universally ignored pieces of biblical prose scattered in the bible. i live mylife by these words.
:whatever thy hand findeth to do, doit with thy might. for there is no wisdom, nor work, nor device in the grave, wither thou goest.”
thank you for this peice i wish you love and peace.

PLEASE READ THIS PIECE OF WRITING INSTEAD OF THE ONE ABOVE!!! MANY ERRORS CORRECTED AND CORE MEANING CHANGED!!
oops! right about “nonetheless” my friend!!! twas a slip and hardly what i meant!! was manic as hell when i wrote so. it improves my insight perhaps but increases my mistakes in the details.
dunno whsat i DID mean atthat precise point.
to your final words in your reply my DEEP belief that faith is a towards amorality and bigotry and nothing more. Atheism is more likely to sweeten life and meaning with compassion and love.
the notion of god is so tragically an excuse for brutality, for murder.
through a careful count of those slain by god or by his direct instructions in the bible (a reference yes but one i trust “here”:http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/num/intro.html/ ) at more than two million within the bible.
endorsement of slavery, human sacrifice, misogyny, genocide. and so much fear. ‘godfearing’ to me is a foul and absurd, OBSCENE and ridiculous notion.
this in contrast to the sweet words of the wise man jesus.
though i have discovered through my own researches, which i humbly would describe as vast and deep (er humility is something I have chosen to abandon), shows that all but one of his parables were directly stolen from far older religions.
worship such a thing?? base your lifestyle on something like deuteronomy or revelations? how can this not be hypocritical folly.
faith in a god of love and compassion, however, can heal so very much. This is personal choice and exludes omcpletely esoterica and ecclectic selection of faiths compiled in what I have found to be almost universally self-contradictorary nonsense. Better by far to base your faith in a god or force built by your own perceptions and conscience, by your heart and love.
i love you simply because of the beauty cearly shown in your heart and mind. wisdom is rare to the point of verging on extinction. and of course with my own lack of faith i ascribe this to your STRENGTH and not something you WERE GIVEN.
i wish and hope to meet you personally. i think that my own strength driven ability will allow me this through fame and reward. cannot afford rent presently.
THIS WILL CHANGE FUCK IT!!
i WILL have financial resources because this will allow me the freedom to create what I must from financial power, and the passionate desire to sway others towards developing meaning in their own lives (though this does not include arguing on a large scale for disbelief in the supernatural. too deeply held. Impossible for one man to change even a portion of 99% of the world’s often fundamentally driven of what is, to me, a deadly fiction.)
it is so rare and such a deep pleasure to meet one of the few wise men that exist (or that ever have in history.)
the idea that we have lost and not gained humanism and care for others is stupidity without a shade of doubt.
we have lost morality? What about the WORLD WARS you fucking fools. The opium wars. Serfdom. Slavery. The reformation and counter reformantion you ignorant DISCKHEADS. Fucking THINK ABOUT IT. Fucking idiots.
Powerful wisdom such as your own is rare to the point of verging on extiinction my friend and kin.
I am afraid that I don’t and will never apologise for the differences that separate our belif systems. The reason I understand you to be my brother is from so very much evidence of your love, hope, and compassion.
I will never change the faith that death is your friend is, to me, one of the truly tragic and foolish pieces of your beliefs. For myself this is all that we shall have to act and find meaning. Fearing death may be folly as there is nothing more inevitable. But why invent and add to the beauty of our world? Is it not enough?
Gratitude also to me is destructive. Gratitude to what, to whom? An invisible force?
Let me offer you this against you. Babies born into agony. Born with aids. Born addicted to heroin and thus forced into immediate withdrawal. God causes this? A god of love?
may i recomend a fellow wise man? tony ryan on this site. Unlike me he shares faith with you.
a quote from one of the many almost universally ignored pieces of biblical prose scattered in the bible that holds truth for me. i live my life by these words:
“whatever thy hand findeth to do, doit with thy might. for there is no wisdom, nor work, nor device in the grave, wither thou goest.”
thank you for this piece if for nothing else its beauty. i wish you love and peace.

i hope you can see that i respect you for the beauty exuiqiste of your words also
C.C. Arshagra replied
paul! .. you rock! and I hope to know you in person someday also. Lets talk logistics. Who knows.
And oh, the artist’s bain… We’ll talk about this in detail someday. Thanks for the lead to fellow RB artist, I will check out his work. Keep it touch.
Your here-soul of love friend,

my friend… you FUCKING RULE!!! you are more wise, more of a man, more of an exception of pretty much WONDROUS humanity that i hope you will be my friend for my whole life.
and i say these words when i am not even manic…!!
i just attacked everything you believe in the strongest of terms and yet you were able to respond in such a way. i fucking CRIED.
wow.
