Notwithstanding our cherished dreams,
And the mountains we choose to climb,
We still grow and flourish in the ground
We were established in…
.
Life-time experiences firmly fixed
That shape and mold our character
And personalities; stylistic, declamatory,
Non-literal, self-effacing... Imagination
.
Espousing all the winds of ingenuity
Given freely as gifts and inducements
So one may press passionately into all
Imaginations given precipitously at times
.
Equalizing the negative and positive
As latitude forces, inspiring, belittling,
Agenda driven, demeaning, fuel to feed
The same discharge of ardent undertaking,
.
Finding the positive in the disconfirming,
Seeing beyond the words
To the spirit within the words
To understand what is otherwise
Hidden in the dung-heaps of private failure…
.
As it is…
Far too often we judge others
In light of our own inadequacies,
Our fears,
Our failings,
Our disablement's,
Our unrealized dreams,
In an effort to wound and derail instead of
.
Freely administering enthusiasm and Light
Collectively shared from the bosom of moral
Excellence, in the hope of embracing Spirit
And wisdom meant specifically to
.
Prepare us for that very moment, when every
Man and woman will confront their true selves
And understand the frailties and fears that prepare
Each of us for passing over that point of no return …

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” Proverbs 14:12
A NEW RACE OF HuMANS
Still, over half of the population, perhaps, believes the rigid notion that we are born man or woman. Even when science has proven, beyond a doubt, that there is a spectrum of sexuality that involves, perhaps, one third of our population. Some of them come under strong criticism to the point of hatred. It starts with bullying in school and may and with death as one enters adulthood.
Why are we so cruel and misunderstanding? I have always been curious and accepting. I'm a heterosexual male with no interest in strange sexual practices. But I allow those who want to do them, as long as they don't do any harm to others. Just let them live and let live. Why do we feel obligated to try to change them or even eliminate them in various ways that are not fair?
