We are in the Liminal Space
A Dangerous Place
Where predators lay
and tricksters play
Where good people pray
then look away
…
“Though shalt not enter the fray”
Bless the lambs that are slain
It is not our pain
They are weak
We are strong
Nothing is wrong
…
Power is principle
Principles have no power
Virtue has no value
Values have no virtue
Ethics aren’t up to you
…
Left is right
Rights have left
Orwell wasn’t right
Huxley won’t be correct
Just forget
…
Always project
Don’t reflect
War is peace
Peace is war
Pacifists we abhor
…
Comfort is King
Effort ain’t cool
Take shortcuts you fool!
Thinking’s old-school
These are the new rules
…
Here I shall stay
It’s all about play
Don’t rock my boat
I am well afloat
Get out of my moat!
…
Where would I go?
Away from the glow
Of my own ego
All’s fine below
with my shadow
…
Everything’s perfect
Why introspect?
Just express
the politically correct
Remain circumspect
…
Moral demise or mass malaise
We couldn’t care less
Regression is progression
Progression is possessions
There’s nothing to confess
…
On the Titanic we shall stay
Hear the band play
Conscience long away
Deferred hell to pay
Tomorrow’s another day
…
This is our dystopian Utopia
A cornucopia of myopia

And… where are you? I’ve been worried.
In the liminal space, like us all, but keeping my head above water… ;-). Although have been doing some deep diving the Jungian way. Just coming up for a breath now.
🙂
“People everywhere, in their quest for happiness outside themselves, discover in the end that they’ve been seeking it in an empty cornucopia, and sucking feverishly at the rim of a crystal glass into which was never poured the wine of joy.” –Paramhansa Yogananda
Contact! Enjoy the dive while you’re diving … and don’t forget to breathe, mate. Catcha later, R.
Thanks dude – will be in contact shortly.

How true, beautiful words… And a small quote for you: “I choose the garden and the library, the quiet walks, the silent prayer and the quiet sitting. Why? Thus I unmeasurably get more from what I need. A life lived in solitude is infinitely richer than the public. ” – Bela Hamvas
Perfect quote, Zoltan – it fits. Very well chosen. Thanks a million, mate.
Yes thanks Jean-Jacques… these are words to bring us in to how the feelings are flowing through… time is wanting of us to let go and allow… fragile we are to be or not is the space, the is, about to be activated into new growth… thoughts are all important… cheers… thanks for the post… Sean Caulfield
Cheers Sean, thank you for your insight and thoughts contributed here and importantly, reminding us of being mindful of the new growth on the horizon… J.J.
Happy Exploring, love the poem.
