The world is a canvas yet most of us just view the work of others and stay passive creators becoming wells of unlived life. Lets draw from our reservoirs and water our imaginations

Boxes and open spaces
boxes and open spaces
boxes are used to carry and store things in
boxes are a way of containing controlling contorting
boxes are used for safety emotionally or agenda based
perhaps to protect yourself or protect a concept
some go by the saying those who are not for me are against me
but is everything so clear cut
hand in had with boxes are labels we are pattern based organisms but to what extent
but boxes are created internally or externally
logically if a +b then c
but the important part of the equation is if
proposing their could be an if not
boxes are limited their process is to limit to put a place holder upon something
can everything be boxed and should everything be boxed
should birds be caged
the thing with boxes is we sometimes forget what the said thing was without a box
also with boxes we can seal them up store them up and never reopen them again
you may have boxes but who are the manufacturers of your boxes
for how ca we have boxes of things we have never solely experienced
this is where the box "society" comes in
it gives you these boxes which over time you identify with
man woman black white old young
and within that architecture gives rise to opposing forces and warring factions
and even hate
But what of the free spirit the wind like wanderer the enemy of the confined this seems to be their countless struggle the struggle against confinement restriction and regulation the cage-less creature perhaps tapping into the inner essence of man
You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life? ~Rumi
Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape. ~Rumi
Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? ~Rumi
Questioning why we stay in boxes for humanity is boxed cut off from nature cut off even from itself

An outlet for a swollen womb
I have returned to my once discarded blog
my want for an outlet for my swollen womb
has got the better of me philosophy and i
in this deadly embrace nurturing yet sinister
its offspring and its foe embroiled in one
it seems in my moments away i have returned to my platonic cave
feasting off my own ever abundant well
might i be now as the dandelion casting off her seeds whether they bloom or not
whilst previously i have been the mother hen vivaciously guarding all her eggs
The individual is always at odds with the tribe
sectioned and alone for their conflictorary existence
the loneliness bothers me not
but my womb
and its birth pangs
painting a muriel of a perfect earth
for what are doctors without patients
mere surveyors of hospital wards
what are generals without a war
hunters without prey
the lame without aid

problems of philosophy part 1
philosophy the love of wisdom
has been forgotten is a way of life
one cannot be a philosopher if one is merely text books and jargon
and they are just really fancy footed notion of simplistic ideals
philosophy is life it is ones being one reshapes one is remolded one is like water it can be of many states
philosophy has lost that people regurgitate without ever producing or improving on ideas writing papers of quantity not of quality
why spend a thousand words mumbling over a subject which may be better said with a few lines
if philosophy is a way of life should it not deal with it not rummaging through ideas of archaic nature
philosophy is estranged from the very people it is here to influence the like minded and the not so
hiding behind doctorates yet professing to be ideally descendants of socrates who is so far away from the grotesque image they are.
the power of ones reasoning and ones argument meant one was qualified not their degrees
But corruption has sunk in selling books holding talks for name and office only
philosophy has fallen so far behind the other sciences it merely gives lips service to it
using science as back up yet it is not the case the other way round
philosophy begs importance begs to be acknowledged for works or yesteryear's
siring scholars of impotent natures in matters of ideas and innovations
