They seem complete

Observations

They seem complete

There are certain people in life, such as my friend Ruth, or a high school classmate Tom, who are very self-contained.  They don't seem reflective or have the need to connect with others.  They have an independent orbit.  They don't seem to question.  Perhaps it's because their needs were met from family.  But as far as an observer can see, they seem complete in their own way.

No rock here

There is no rock here.  Instability rules.  Only way out is through a yearning for the above.

If one falls....

Today one is on edge all the time.  One slip up with a registration,
tax form or your health could cause everything in your life to tumble.
Yet, despite it all, these domino chips do look perky and alive.

Observations

Whatever has happened

More and more
what I have to say
is inadequate
based on right and wrong
principles that no longer apply.

And why bother
if people can't change
and behavior doesn't modify?

Whatever has happened
or has not
is too powerful
for words to penetrate.

Voice


It seems money and power determine how loud a voice one can have.

Observations


No place


As you get older
there is less of a place
for you on earth

as you see the selfishness
and the arrogance
beneath most behavior

and you find it hard
to align yourself
with any of it.

Blind

I'm like a blind man
unable to see

the  light from God
or the help from man

and my own antenna
can't fully be trusted

just like a blind man
unable to see.

A longing

With time, appreciating nature itself, its beauty, its workings, while enthralling, is still not enough, not the biggest picture.  What is amazing is that we can be “amazed” at it.  But being amazed at something implies being separated from it.  We are from another place.  This realization of beauty makes us aware of this other place.  We are thankful but still separated.  For a moment we share with beauty this other place, but then it is gone.   We have to move on.  We are left with a longing.

An adequate  comfort level

Observations

An adequate comfort level

I observed that people who have an adequate comfort level will do anything to keep it.  People without an adequate comfort level have to work at building it.  If you don’t have it but think that you do, that illusion can cost you dearly.  This happens to many of us.

    Steven B. Nussdorf records his lifelong search to find meaning outside of the normal channels.  He  uses writing, poetry, and drawing to document this effort.

    Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
