Calculated Risks

VIEW LARGE PLEASE:=D

What happens when we take risks?
The kind that spill out of our past
To hunt you down like a weirwolf in London
Or a Vampire in June?

What happens when we threaten our smile
With the Fore-thought of Eternal
Never Minds
or
Endless Should Be’s?
And take off in the Afternoon of our
Deliverance?

Do we still think we can know what
Will be
If Only I can play you up or down,
Or In between?
What if I smile like a fool,
Can I then know thee?

What would happen if we put all our
Broken toys away
And burned them like
The Great Chicago Fires,

To be reborn again,
In the innocence of Now,
With the Understanding
Of the Mystic Blue

Understanding that it only takes one
thought ..
To feel better.

    I like that part of ‘the understanding of the Mystic blue’ that would make a great title for some art, what does it mean? The poem is excellent, is it one of yours? The art itself is superb, especially that bottom left section, a very fine piece indeed L :)

    Risks can cause pain.
    Yes…
    And assumed risks can cause completion.
    Yes…
    I have known an story. Real one. cruel one.
    A dog is enclosed in a cage.
    Half of it will receive electric jerks if the dog steps in.
    Then it starts and the dog…clever, jumps into the jerkings free one.
    They experiment the other way round. The dog keeps one freeing him from pain.
    Then all the floor is electrified and the dogs curles yelping stop motioned and let himself be shooted without beng able to do any more. Fleeing instincts dead.
    They open the cage…..wondering wether the dog will get himself free of such torture…but he does not….his “instinctual self will” is gone…and preferres to be stabbed with electric shoots rather than taking the free pathway.
    Moralex? I will leave it up to you.
    Living is risky, even loving is risky. Unpredictable. Can we choose?....our instinct tells us that it is itself….the one choosing. But…yet….how many times our intuitions fail? Instinct is not blind nowadays. Sometimes genes prove results…and may be disastreous…but who is complaining? Life is risky from the same moment that getting born will end up in being dead..but so the Circle must turn and we will may be risk to re-born again and again ….so Life will risks itself.
    Rosa ( besides that…your work of art is beautiful Lina,called my attention the words and the image, blended in an strange way…It is abstract but not so ..and the writing too..and has something behind that it stirred me a bit….have ahug)

    “To be reborn again,
    In the innocence of Now,
    With the Understanding
    Of the Mystic Blue
    Understanding that it only takes one
    thought ..
    To feel better.”
    Fantastic…....my new mantra….......xox

    NOW …. if the moment does not feel good NOW, give it it’s due and let it pass. But feel it NOW and take from it all that you must. Then let it pass. Not ever moment will feel good but the moment will pass and if we allow ourselves to acknowledge it and find its origin we can move on to the NEXT BEST moment and feel it NOW.

    I think I got it! But then I always did … :)
