It works and not

It works and it does not, all at once! So which is it, when it’s both, for and against? Well, how about being neither for nor against — neutral, detached, and free.

It’s necessary to pick a pitch to play. In music or anything whatsoever. Pick a color to paint, to make the first stroke. Take a stance in anything to work with it, whatever it is. Then every following move will be in relation to that first; and each next one to all previous ones. Still, every stroke or move also has the quality of being the first, the freedom to be itself. Or potentially the last one, the concluding point in a cycle of some sorts — big or small, it matters naught. More tuned in at some points, less at others. But always something. A pitch, color, stroke, move, or maybe even the absence of one. The absence of action may show as much or more at times, if placed carefully with patience and heart. Or it can also show a lack of heart; though there is some heart in everything, or it would not exist.

Which of the two are we focusing on?

It works and it does not. Which of the two are we focusing on? One way it will work, the other not. Because we make it so! Also this, however, is not absolute but relative. This follows the law of love and personal space in our dual world. Spiritual freedom allows each their space. As much as one can give others their space, as much one can relish his or her own space. The manifestation of love is in the overlap of space between beings. How much do we have in common? How much overlap do we share? And how much is kept separate?

Again, which of the two are we focusing on? One way can make it work, the other not. By itself it could go either way. Then we make it work — or not. It works and does not, all at the same time. We make it one or the other through our own doing, our attitudes, and our consciousness. Finally, one may just leave it for what it is, neither working, nor not. Being detached and giving each and all their space allows for humbly and effectively claiming and relishing one’s own as soul in spiritual freedom.

Sooner or later

Sooner or later,

You are who you are.

Still, you are who you were,

And also, you were who you are;

Plus, you will be who you are,

And you are who you will be.

You are who you are!

Nevertheless,

You’re not who you were,

And you were not who you are;

Plus, you are not who you will be,

And you will not be who you are.

All you are is who you are.

You are who you are!

Still, you are who you were,

And also, you were who you are;

Plus, you are who you will be,

And you will be who you are.

You are who you are,

Sooner or later,

Right now!

For good and soul

Inside the box
Or outside of it
Bigger outside
Limited inside
But protected
Defined and set.

A master explorer
Or framed settler?

Balance is needed
Community agrees
With each other
On many things
And leaves room
To disagree some.

Thus we get along
May stay together
Or otherwise part
While the whole
Includes in and out
Cycles back and forth
Exploring and settling.

Both are appropriate
At the right time
And the best place
To root in for good
Or pull up to go on
Breathing in and out
As the body's settled
Until sooner or later
Soul will just move on
In love with all life.

Little balloon

PentaProLa / PentaIon floating up a little balloon — multiple 8-string guitar and bass — January 2021 — 3:29 soundscape

Sooner or later, little balloon may pop

Or else, just lose air and shrivel away.

Thus, it will end its inflated life cycle.

Deflated, it has not much existence

Unless new or intact, ready to grow.

So, will it be filled with plain air

To be the weight of surroundings

Just slightly heavier by its own,

Or is there a lighter filler at hand

So it can rise and float up high?

Quite unusual is a heavier filler

Unless maybe water to play toss

As a little harmless splash bomb

Offering a rather short life span

To a little balloon used this way.

Thus it is with such balloons.

Most are destined to soar

Preferably up, by lift or toss

Eventually coming back down

Having served their purpose.

What did they find up there

Besides a message of joy

The breath of life and love

Spiritual freedom and truth

Divine spirit, soul, and God?

After all, what’s left deflated

Is just a heap of misery, if torn;

However, if intact, to be reused.

Breath in and float up ever again

For another day in life and love!
