What do I want? Inspiration

"As an artist, I believe that it is my responsibility too encourage inspiration. I feel like all inspiration is God's will trying to manifest through us. I was given these gifts of perspective, of imagination, of interpretation by The Creator. To my way of thinking, a failure to act upon an inspiration is a failure of Faith."

-david patrone

I ask myself, "What do I want?"

And today I am pleased with the answer.

I want to be constantly moving towards self actualization, self realization, creativity and encouragement of others to do the same. for example:

I say this to myself each day:

I want to maximize the effectiveness of the gifts I have been given by The Creator.

I want to enhance my sense of purpose.

I want to be of maximum service to The Creator and The Creation.

I want to be an agent of Creativity.

I want to help others overcome their fear and any restrictive beliefs/principles so that they can feel the same.

I feel self actualization manifesting when I am able to help others overcome their fear, such that they can realize their potential.

I often feel a strong urge to try and correct people who are restricting others or even themselves. This often does not produce the intended results. I hope I can help the reader on their journey, I hope they find encouragement in this writing. I hope they can see past the humor or the sarcasm, or that it triggers a glance at themselves that reveals a belief or a principle which is holding them back; or one that triggers their creative urge. I hope they hear a voice that is urging them to find the Creator inside themselves. I hope they will find the power and belief inside themselves sufficient to tell the haters, "Watch Me!"

Sometimes it is difficult to know what the right action is...

Sometimes

The best thing I can do is to reassert that God place me on the plane of inspiration, to guide my thoughts, my actions and my words and just let it fly. I also ask that my interpretation remain flexible so that I may follow this inspiration without staying tied to my ideas of what "God's Will" means.

I look at all inspiration as KRSNA's prodding for me to act.

To my way of thinking,

Failure to act upon an inspiration is a failure of faith.

Valentines Day Special,

The Moon,

That great big movie screen in the night sky, playing your greatest hits, The Soul Reflector

Why is it that sometimes it takes gazing at the farthest object we can really see, to be able to view something that is actually within us?

The moon is like a blank canvas on which you can view your feelings. Think of the moon as described by countless poetic souls; when really it is just a grey rock illuminated against Infinity. And yet it is described through the ages in abstract and creative language which; if you think about it, really only describes the describer. A silent rock of reflective light, reflecting the feelings of the watcher like a mirror to the soul. A long-distance reflector that reveals something so close to you, it's impossible to see with the naked eye. The farthest thing describing the closest thing.

They're sitting next to you, you'd give the world to know their thoughts.. You don't know how to tell them what you're feeling and so you grab them by the hand, pull them to their feet and tell them,

"come my love

let's go for a walk

and see what the moon

has to say..."

Human Condition.

Humans are unique on Earth

in that we are Carriers.

We are Collectors, Curators,

generating our future through

what we save; what we dismiss.

We share suffering when in crisis,

we share balance when we dance

What makes us unique among humans

is what we choose to carry,

what we choose to release,

where we live and who with,

what cannot be left behind

when we must leave our home.

how hard it is, the decision to say goodbye

and how stark true loneliness is,

what it means to have no choice,

What it means to be desperate,

What it means to be told to leave,

and for there to even be a place

where you are not welcome anymore.

-david patrone

This may not necessarily be true. I can imagine that there may be higher beings here on Earth which almost all of us are not aware of. I'm almost positive that the megaliths, pyramids and other inexplicable phenomena of the ancient world indicate the existence of advanced technology and beings of greater ability and intelligence at some point in the past. If they were able to do things 12,000 years ago that we are not able or willing to do today; then, I'm sure their technology is so advanced by now that they could easily be hiding in plain sight, manipulating and cultivating humans as a workforce to achieve their goals, whoever THEY may be. The reality is that humans are probably not unique on earth when it comes to cognitive ability and these other factors; but, if there are higher beings on Earth and they don't reveal their existence and help us solve our problems here, then what good is their intellect? if they are not utilizing this superior ability to help society to benefit it's members, then they don't really get to be acknowledged as being a part of this world do they? They are an adversary to the advancement of our world. It would indicate that we are just some colony to them. If they don't contribute to the solution to the human condition, they're just another obstacle aren't they?

Mistaken Identity

"Mistaken Identity"

You don't even know

Who you really are

Like the Catarpillar

Fearing the heights:

Watching the flights

Of Butterflies cries

"Oh! I'll never go

Up in one of those!"

You can't even see

What you're bound to be

Better believe

You're at the heart of

What you thought you

were just a part of.

And you're a part

of Everything.

Alt text:

This picture is a very close-up image of a poem that has been typed with a vintage Underwood typewriter onto a common, paper, cocktail napkin. The napkin contains 8 lines of a longer poem, titled "Mistaken Identity" which is included below in the post description. Each line has almost the same number of characters and this makes the poem look like almost a perfect square. Also typed at the bottom of the poem is a hashtag for napkindiaries and the initials of the author, "--dbwii" The typeset and the filters have created an effect and texture which makes this look almost as if the words are carved in stone. The word Catarpillar is capitalized and spelled like the word catarrhine. Maybe you can figure out why. You can also see the dimples and texture of the napkin design. The words by line are:

Line 1: You don't even know

Line 2. what you really are

Line 3: like the Catarpillar

Line 4: fearing the heights;

Line 5: watching the flights

Line 6: of butterflies cries

Line 7: "Oh! I'll never go

Line 8: up in one of those!"

Line 9: --dbwii

Line 10: #napkindiaries

I hope that this description was informative and if there is something that I left out, please contact me and I wlll try to make these descriptions more accurate, helpful and entertaining.
