All colors work in Nature, the Sculptor said to me
together, in harmony they blend - no fight
No need to pick a palette just right
colors bend - they are light . . .
. . . and a Tune Without End
sang the Musical Artist
as she plucked her guitar strings
( and the same sound emotes from the Sun )
interjected the Geologist
as we sang
filled with Cosmic Comic Tragedy
so that's what we named it
recording our
humanity
'Walking, talking, in the night'
and 'I don't need your eyes to see'
'fear keeps me from saying
what is good for me' . . .
In days gone by - the Father said,
This Woman is a saint
( And she was his mother-in-law ! )
What he saw was no flaw
And she glows with a light when
her face smiles up, but there's devil in her eyes
said he
And his too - of a different kind
She said he would be alright
if they all would just leave him alone
She was right, so was he
It takes one to know one
down a family tree . . .
. . . in growing up and leafing green
the tree need only search
the Earth where it was once a seed
the soil that gave it birth
coined the Writer, watching trees grow tall
So unconcerned a tree must be
to never bother trying
a different way of getting green
like paint or theft or lying . . .
. . . . about the truth - it is subjective
and up to the individual perception of
reality
we all have our own you know
inspired a Philosophy/Psychology Professor
fifteen years ago - And several billion
other perspectives is a daunting proposition
Beware of superstition and a ' colored '
interpretation of unsubstantial evidence for sure
One premise and another that are
not of equal value
gives illogical conclusion
and accounts for mental illness in the world
A + B does not equal E, but it's the story
most of us are sticking to
So find "a" truth and
be true to it
but not until you find the Power
to change your mind
If you refuse to think in a
different way about the same thing
you'll be stuck in ever-lasting ignorance
being different does not ever make it
wrong . . . . . or right
. . . And you will never make your point
until you understand the other side
completely - from a Public Speaking teacher who
juries competitions throughout the States
All arguments are tested for validity and truth
You need proof - and Ethos, Pathos, and Logos
pave the way for The Balance Theories
which explain how new ideas bring about
CHANGE
The strain of Cognitive Dissonance
( inharmonious, hostile, contradictory, warring )
says that disruption in the homeostasis ( sameness )
of a closed system results in some action
to be taken to restore homeostasis
( same sameness )
Premise: A person cannot hold two opposing views on
an issue simultaneously and experience consonance
( congruity, consistency, harmony, accord )
Premise: A person has a need to experience consonance
Conclusion: Therefore, dissonance provides the energy
or ( strain ) toward change . . .
. . . and re-arrange the arranging arrangement
break out of your former
boundaries
insisted the Italian designer
all things can be made finer
using odd numbers please
allowing negative space to let
the mind's eye
complete the canvas . . .
. . . or denim, a fabric with some "body"
suggested the Seamstress with expertise
and then some pockets
to stuff your stuff in - complete with loops
and then you hang it on a wall
good use of space it's economics
its algebraic
like life and . . .

who knows
To do
and be
everything
we are created to do and be
is why we are all here
sans the paint or glaze
no embellishment required for
truth is just plain ugly enough
when you're all for beauty in a
Pollyanna sorta kinda way - but
memory serves both then and now
the elephant never forgets
and gives a gift to share
beyond the morbid subjects of
battery and use
come brand new life and liberty
revealing what is joyful
beyond violence is truth
and color - vivid, bright and light
woven with hammered threads of
life
past it's
unsightly stare
up on the roof
or riverside
anywhere
I don't care
I'm no longer there . . .
