peek\nthrough the clouds\n\nbut why\nwhy do i hide\nin the grey\nwhy is this my preference\nit makes no sense\n\ni feel me\ngood me\nin brief clarity\nbut even in just a glimpse\nis wholeness\npurity\n\ni know it is there\nbut i hide it\nall the time\nwhy\n\nthe clouds\nthe cloak of grey\ni pulled over me \na long time ago\nto cover up the good\nlittle boy\n\nhe is not allowed to be seen\nmust play a role of \nthe not good son\n\nthe clouds\nthe grey clouds\nwere never a place to hide\nor were they\noh my god\nthey were\n\ni hid good me\ntrue me there\nthere he would be safe\nthere he would be shielded\nfrom the mean old hag\n\nbe what she says you are\nthe pure me is safe\nhe cannot be attacked\nbecause she can not see him\nshe thinks she destroyed him\n\nshe purposefully did that\nbecause she was sick\nshe was unstable\nmentally so\n\nand then here comes little me\nfirst born\neasy target\nhelplessly alone with her\nwhile dad is off to work\nand then meetings\nhe did not want to be around\nher either\n\nbut he left me\nwith her \neveryday all day\nwhat could i do\nnothing\n\nas an inmate cannot walk through\nmetal bars\na boy\nmentally imprisoned\ncannot escape either\n\nand he goes through\nhis childhood\nall his growing up years\nin jail\n\nyeah he played with his friends\nand rode countless miles on\nhis bicycle\nspent idyllic summers\nat his grandparents\nbeach house\nseemed to be living a normal\nboys life\n\neven though he was free\nhe was not\nhe is not\nhis real self was hidden away\ncould not be revealed\n\nhe lived a false life\ndoing what other kids did\nbut it was not him doing them\nit was the actor him\nthe fake him\nthe stand in\n\nso yes\nhe was fucked up\nis fucked up\nfucked up mommas\nproduce fucked up sons\n\nit is said that sons learn\nfrom their moms\nwoe to the ones born to her\nthree sons\nall three divorced\none twicely so\n\nthe little boy\nhas hiked the years\nwith a backpack of pain\nheavy with the grey clouds\n\nand now he is\nsocial security retired\nthe pack straps\ncut into his shoulders\nso what\nhe quit noticing \nafter a while\n\nhe did and he did not\nhe does and he does not\nit has been a battle\na perfect conflict\nliving a lie\nand hiding in that\nhiding in that\nor hiding something in that\nhiding himself in that\n\nhow to come out\nhow to stretch open the \nglimpse of sun\nthe opening and step through it\ncause if i step out\nleave the back\nof grey clouds curtain\nthen this grey will disappear\ni will stand nakedly exposed\nfor the first time\nsince i hid me away\n\nif i could do this\nall the negative will go away\n\ndo not want hear how life is hard\nand there will still be problems\nno there will not\ni know\nthat comes with grey clouds\nand they will go away\nburned off like fog\ninto nothingness\nby the yellow sun\n\nthe mind is the key\nand that is what i had to protect\njust by instinct i knew\nwhat to do \nthough it set me up\nfor a life of hurt\nas sloshing through very wet mud\nin heavy rubber boots\nsloshing and slopping along and along\n\ni paid the price\ni killed my emotions\ni killed my caring\neven love i had to fake\n\nbut real me\nsomehow\nfed me through the veil\n\ni do not know\nsparks of hope\nremembrance of real me\nso that i wasn’t totally lost\nbecause controlled real me\nis security\nand if i am lost\nreal me is lost\n\nso all of the days\nsome 23,000 of them\nhave been all conflict\na battlefield of the mind\nwar on the plains of thought\n\nfake me\nfunctioning while\ntrue me observed\nthe observer and the faker\nthe faker and the protector\n\ni am weary of it now\ni have to wonder\nwhy continue\n\ncan i let real me out now\ncan i end the game\n\nas i stop the pain\nnotice i ask can i instead of may i\nbecause there is no one to grant\nany such permission\n\ncan i\nyes\n\nonly fear holds me back\n\nwhat scares me about finally\nstepping aside\nand allowing real me to be in charge\ni am afraid for him\n\nbut i need not be\n\nhe is fine\nhe is the real deal\nhe can handle anything\n\nto him \nthere are no challenges\nno problems\nnothing scary\nhe just goes with the flow\n\nhe knows what is what\n\nhe is real peace.\n\n(Author’s notation: I have transcribed this from the hand written version. Your writer, here, has been going through some mental gymnastics lately regrading a health problem having to do with his heart. This story is typed out here just as it bubbled up within the author, in it’s staccato nerve-synapsing form. I sought not and did not edit it with proper punctuation, conjunctions, etc. This is my meager attempt to reflect the actual process that took place. Thank-You for reading.)",

      "body": "![shipwreck.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPNjqXzvLtn89h35xuLPCCL7by2Wvacs2cEwsM7TP2uFh/shipwreck.jpg)\n\nSuddenly I realize — and it always arrives all of a sudden — that I had locked myself into practice and habit regarding my health, sense of self and daily activities. I continuously fall into this mire behavior, unconsciously lost in it, and then will experience a sudden shock-force awareness of being there(again).\n\nOne thing regarding it — and this applies to thought patterns as well as behavioral patterns — is that it’s antithesis to my teachings regarding personal freedom. I barter my own freedom in exchange for single-minded thinking and acting out. I fall into so many must-do’s and have-to’s set upon me by my very own self. Then I follow along as a train follows its tracks, seemingly unable to detour from the course. I get my own idea of individual freedom by enslaving myself.\n\nI set up the usual paradigm of “musts” and have-to-do’s regarding my survival and extended survival as me — physically. Physicality actually being a stand-in for…what? Ego, perhaps. THAT’S the whole f*cking deal! The survival of the concept of Ricky Ferdon is key; prime; numero uno!\n\nAll of my life — the all so many fragments and facets of a human’s existence — every single one — major and minor — have been meticulously planned out. Not much spontaneity around in this ole boy’s life, no sir. Always thinking and planning two steps ahead of each step actually taken.\n\nI write here while I have clarity of thought. It’s pouring out of me through the ink of the pen I hold in my left hand(I’m a southpaw and did write this in ink in a journal — as it flowed — before transcribing it here and now to the Medium platform). I had to get it down right then as such an occurrence is rare in my experience, and I sought to move it from thought to preserved form before it perished down the dark crevice of unattainable mind once again.\n\nThis falling into the same behavior patterns and then having a jolting awakening — as I am here — is a familiar cycle. How to break it? How not to return to this same old same old?\n\n    To lose oneself is to gain oneself.\n\nA worthy quote, apropos in my case anyway. If I could but lose — kill — the old Ricky Ferdon. But how? Surely I’ve come across suggested methodology from the Walmart trucks full of reading material that I’ve engaged in over the decades and the ensuing studies. But I think I know:\nDEATH.\n\nIt has been chasing me — consciously at least — for 52 years. For me it has never been the “Great Equalizer” — oh no! — but is and has always been the “Great Extinguisher.” This me whom I have loved so much and fearfully protected will die one day… and I cannot stop it. In all of the control behaviors that I play and have played, this is a destiny for which I have no power to prevent; to stop. The one thing over which my controlling personality has no control. I feel great dread just now, in a brief pause, imagining myself on my death bed. Or the sheer horror of having some terminal diagnosis due to some disease and placing me in the position of realization that the dreaded impending event has picked up speed, eliminating the comfort of no sure time frame for the ultimate destination.\n\n    Change what can be changed and accept what cannot be.\n\nI have not been able to accept it. I seem unable. Even my fear of flying, or high places, or crowds and whatever else are but aspects of my trying to control my life in attempt to prevent myself from being in any position whereby chances of death are increased. Though I truly am Vegan for the animals, I seek relentlessly to make all of the moves possible to at least extend the number of days of life upon this earth. Whether attempts are nutritional, supplemental, or physical, I am eager to employ them.\n\nParallel to all of this is working towards enriching the life of others. Akin to the Bodhisattva vow:\n\n    To reduce suffering and increase happiness in all sentient beings.\n\nIt too is related to death in that I have sought a legacy. Maybe I can live on in memories of those beings whom I’ve impacted in some positive way. Alas, I seek a statue — YES! — that’d be the ticket. Or maybe the status of a great author or Nobel Prize winner would cement some type of remembrance. As it is, I may be remembered by some as my name is brought up — after I’m gone — but it won’t be as if my portrait is hanging in the rememberers’ homes and noticed everyday.\n\nAnd why isn’t it okay? Why isn’t it okay that I won’t be remembered: here for my “time” and then gone, the Lion King’s “circle of life?” As time continues its relentless journey towards some vacant future my children and eventually their children will die. As my grandkids go, certainly that’ll be the last burn of the candle as far as any memory of me goes.\n\nAh! But such is the germ of the ideas of an afterlife: creations for people who cannot tolerate the idea of their own extinction. Your writer holds no such belief, so for him death is THE final act, the curtain fall on the last night of the play. This is a reason that myself, wise elders, gurus and the like speak of each present moment as life itself: each in-and-out breath; each heartbeat. That’s it, right there! There is no other existence. There is no other dimension nor parallel universe nor such mumbo jumbo. Nope. Just now. Here. This present moment.\n\nI elucidate and expound upon this principle so very well. Aren’t I just the best teacher/guru/philosopher? Yet it’s all but words only: strings of characters woven together into sentences attempting to convey ideas. Just surface matter. They are not yet waves of the sea which are always but sea. Just stand-ins, never the thing described; attempts at explanation.\n\nAnd here, a revelation: death’s quality is conceptual. Certainly, the body and every living thing dies. No question there. In my years of fire/rescue work and as a hospice house volunteer, I’ve seen quite a few dead folks. They are real, and they are dead. Yet as one codifies death, one celebrates or dreads it. This occurs through a total thought process — conceived as words — with ensuing emotional responses. Yet there is no fear without a concept to be feared. If we are free of concepts, then so too are word-ideas removed and what we are left with is what I’ll call “silence.”\n\nHere I see — here I know — what’s been knocking at the door: that words are never “it.” Never the “it” of anything. To say that death is a “bad” thing is to employ words which lead to a concept readily accepted as fact, though such is totally subjective to the idea. One may use words to describe a love making session, or the experience of a war battle — yet the cleverest words are NOT the experience. Words are never the “thing.” Moreso, to this writer, especially where I currently am, is driven home the potency of silence.\n\nRecently a light has shone on my ponderings regarding silence and its sister solitude. I’ve been relating the two to each other, with more concentration on silence. In application:\n\n    speaking less\n    speak only when spoken to in as concise a manner as possible\n    answer questions as compactly as one can with no elaborations\n    allow people to SEE my life versus hearing about it\n    know that the loudest talker, by far, is the EGO, who usually has nothing beneficial to say\n    “he who speaks much, knows little. He who speaks little knows much.” Let me be the quiet one\n\nWhat AM I to do? What is Ricky Ferdon to do?\n\nLIVE WITHOUT CONSIDERATION.\n\nJust move, breathe walk, live and do without thinking about life(and death).\n\nJUST LIVE.\n\n(Here, I had taken a break from writing in my journal and attended to some chores around the house and yard. Then, I re-opened the journal some 3 hours after the last entry and finished this day’s writing.)\n\nI realize that part of — or maybe the whole of — my main problem is old fashioned clinging and desire. This is what the Buddha alluded to some 2,500 years ago as the ultimate cause of suffering. I cling to the desire to be remembered and think that I was special. I want to be recalled as a “cut above”(now that’s some pure ego).\n\nI am now, four days removed from my 63rd birthday and on the cusp — it’s right there — of almost finding liberation from all of this: fear of death, being forgotten, etc.. As this came to me there was a visualization of being at the precipice of a waterfall, in the flow of the water as it races to throw itself over the edge. But I’m not moving, not going over. If I can but let go — take the brakes off — and just release all of the rocks in the bag holding me back.\n\nThe waterfall is an analogy of that which stirred within me as I saw the answer. The vision is not of going over the top of the waterfall and then free falling into the pool or rocks at the bottom.\n\nNo.\n\nThe vision is of just free falling in clarity, which my mind paints as a water-like shimmer in appearance, but — and I already used the best word for it — just clarity; pure clarity. As absorbed in clarity, as being the clarity and no longer singular, just…\n\nAs in life, so in death.",

This is some **truth**.\n\n> That space of “time” in which you began to read this story has already perished and by the “time” you get to the period at the end of this sentence, the “time” in which you read it, too, is gone.\n\nPrecisely. So when it's read and you are contemplating what to do next, the only thing that pops into my mind is to make the best use of my present moment, sharing how this made me feel and building up not just my own momentum, but yours too. \n\nIt takes some training and a bit of mental courage to realize the power of living in the present moment. You have to not only rid your mind of any uncertainties and doubt about your past or future; you also have to find a higher purpose than yourself so you can detach your ego and learn to bang to a different beat of the drum. I can tell from the way you write that you get it. I can hear it in your words. \n\nLife is precious, we don't have time for worrying about what could be. We just have to keep our momentum going and rolling into the next day. It's easy to forget about the present moment when you are part of the machine when you detach and become more humanized, the world is yours. \n\n@monchhichi23 posted this in the BuddyUP server and I'm very glad she did because it's started my morning off with a great big smile on my face!

In Queen’s opening line of their epic Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie Mercury sings\n\n    Is this the real life,\n\n    is this just fantasy?\n\nYour writer posits that the real life is the one here; right now, that you are standing or sitting in. Each single moment that you take a breath and exhale in, that your heart beats within, is where you truly dwell. There is no other existence.\n\nBy now I’m pretty confident that most of you have heard of “living in the now,” or shortened to simply “present moment.” In fact, for this writer, Eckhart Tolle’s iconic book, The Power of Now, spoke into my life as no other publication had before nor has since(as far as impact).\n\nAs books can, The Power of Now was a spark igniting the furnace of my mind and setting it into motion towards an awakening. Or, to be more pedestrian, it helped me to begin to understand my existence within the nature of so-called “time”(clock and calendar). From a young age I had always been quite an inquiring lad, and some 50 years later, the wheels are still turning.\n\nI realized that there is really no such thing as a linear timeline. That’s just something one finds in textbooks denoting the progress of, say, European history or some-such. As pointed out in Mr. Tolle’s book, there’s just now: right here, right now as you read these words. That space of “time” in which you began to read this story has already perished and by the “time” you get to the period at the end of this sentence, the “time” in which you read it,too, is gone.\n\nIt would be akin to sitting in a small boat in the middle of a vast ocean with no land in sight. All is the same all around. There is no “before” where you are nor “after” where you are. Such ideas are totally inapplicable. You just are.\n\nEach present-moment-now just rolls over into the next, into the next, into the next, ad infinitum. Consider that each in-and-out breath ends and the next set begins and ends, and the next… the present moments roll on as in the saying, “Time stops for no man.”\n\nI dare say that the huge amount of the stress in our human lives primarily finds its cause in over-regard for the past(Then) and/or the future(There), while existing in the now(Here).\n\nConsider too that personal impact of the past and future only materialize in thought-form. We invent potential problems coming in the future, which do not yet exist(and probably never will), while at the same time reacting to them emotionally as if they do! So, in this present we are upset at something that we are reaching for in the future which is nothing more than empty air. As to the past, which DID occur, we now have the power to decorate it with all kinds of ideas and can even make it into something upsetting which has no reality in fact. All the better — in both cases — to simply live, and concentrate \nthat living, in right here and now.\n\nThe past is simply a record of long gone nows and the future is speculation as to nows that don’t yet exist. The gone ones where you spent time(past tense) and the future ones you dread or can’t wait to move into(future tense), are both vacant of your presence. Meanwhile, your address is present tense.\n\nAs mentioned, your entire existence is in fact composed of each present-moment-now-breath that you take(one may also state it is each heartbeat). All of your beingness is right here and now, cannot not be! Sure, you have memories of the past and thoughts of the future, but you don’t live in either place. You live Here, not Then nor There.\n\nThus is this present moment you in your little row boat on the unfathomable ocean of existence. And as was pointed out: on that great big sea all looks the same and there is neither right nor left, before nor after. There is no linear scale. There just is now. Just is. Is.",

      "body": "We get these ideas of how we “should” be, a variation of who we “should” be. Such can only be based on ideas outside of ourselves. To the one who is functioning as who s/he is, how could such an idea arise? There is no impetus for it. One is as one is, why would there arise any idea to the contrary? Such an inkling, then, can only arrive from some source outside of a person. This outside force may come disguised as some sort of authority, or from the same, thus making its idea(s) viably legitimate and bearing substance.\n\nSuch outside(outside denoting ideas foreign to the natural state of the human being prior to the introduction of notions) influence casts doubt regarding one’s idea of self. It casts a shadow on the contentment of being one as one is and has always been, which, heretofore, has served it impeccably.\n\nAlong comes the dark shadow casting its abstractions as one throws a net from the shore for fish bait. It impregnates incertitude into the mind of one and raises wonder as to the legitimacy of one’s existence up to this point. At the least, this preying upon the natural wonder of the human mind inserts a sense of lacking, the idea that one may be so much more than she or he presently is.\n\nNow then, these carnival hawkers promise new and improved lives all around. One must but pay a price of acceptance and fidelity to the cause. Blind obeyance is one price, and in today’s modern western culture no doubt there is some type of currency exchange as well.\n\nThis writer’s intellection of human instinctual knowledge(HIK) rejects the notion that there is some magic knowledge outside of what we humans are born with. Why would one not be born complete as the organism that she or he is? Is the lion born incomplete? What about a humpback whale? Whose religious or philosophical canons are needed by these “wild” creatures to perfect them? So then, being born with all (sub-intellectual)knowledge necessary to existence as a homo sapien, I establish that any other concept or gathering of ideas is superfluous to basic hominid existence. They cannot not be.\n\nAll “outside” cogitations are multi-faceted abstractions slung about akin to an artist slinging paints onto a bare canvas. This analogy of the blank canvas is fitting when comparing it to a blank mind. Your writer here rejects the notion of being born “as a blank canvas.” One’s mind IS blank, granted, as regards the teachings and trappings of the society into which she or he is born into. Even school subjects are add-ons to the natural knowledge one is until touched by usually unavoidable outside influences. There still, even then, exists the blank canvas, it’s just been adulterated.\n\nLet one be careful not to look at the infant’s mind as in some way deficient because there is space within it unpopulated with outside teachings. It would seem that this is a normal approach: that baby humans must be filled in their heads as well as their bellies to survive. Having witnessed the birth of a daughter in the delivery room, your scribe was simply overwhelmed with the feeling that I had just witnessed a miracle. Not in any religious sense, but the very idea that two single cells, invisible to the eye, formed into this perfect little humanoid who just debuted in my stunned presence. It was, more appropriately, a celebration within my natural essence of the perfection of Nature.\n\nMaybe this concern with always wanting to fill others has to do with us not being able to simply leave things(and others) alone. We’re always meddling about. An article in Psychology Today suggests that humans who are busier are happier. Here’s an example that came to my mind: say one is involved in religion. Perhaps participating in, maintaining and proselytizing that religion is busy work for that one and provides happiness due to the work as well as denoting a sense of purpose(Religion came to mind as I was penning this story, it could be any number of causes). Religion is and has always been a strong influence but is no different than ideas of nationalism and the like.\n\nA problem that occurs is when one’s busy-happy activities invades the right to privacy and non-botherness(added to dictionary :o) of the girl or boy, woman or man, minding their own business and living their afore undisturbed lives. Perhaps the pre-disturbed folks are quite content not being busy nor having a busy mind, for that matter. It could be that the girl/boy woman/man enjoy silence and solitude within their skulls and have no intention of having either be disturbed.\n\nAccording to an article on child cognitive development there are four stages of development. Children enter a Formal Operational Stage at ages 11 and older. In this stage, “children are able to use logic and to solve problems, view the world around them, and plan for the future.” In the preceding Concrete Operational Stage encompassing ages 7 through 11, it’s stated that children “become less egocentric, and begin to understand that not everyone shares their thoughts, beliefs, nor feelings.”\n\nFrom around seven years onward to eleven years of age, there appears to be a vulnerability of children as to the influence of outside ideas and concepts. Some say that around the age of 11 onward the child begins to get more into logical thinking and begins to grasp abstract thoughts. Up until then, that process has been developing within the child’s brain. It’s no wonder that the propagandists of religions, philosophy, education systems, government and the like make their moves around and about age 5 onward. Many of these protagonists are educated in child development and cleverly design their approaches accordingly. It goes without saying that product developers and marketers helped write the manuals. Now there are algorithms to sell ideas and products with mathematical precision to the young: all mixed in with the rest of the mentioned paint colors slung at blank canvases. See Facebook.\n\nIt seems that we have become a society of hybrids. There is the basic human model creature of Nature, as it arrives, physically functioning. Then there is the societal model, which is the blueprint for the ideal, eh, citizen let’s say. Over time, in carefully orchestrated step-by-step indoctrinations, the Nature model assumes societal model traits and becomes a functioning member of society and its many facets. The operating system on the hard drive of Nature model is eventually re-programmed with apps and updates… all of that. And now, at last, the masterpiece is completed, so let us stand back and look at the canvas as it appears now.\n\nIs there any wonder that there is so much stress in people’s lives today? So much noise? So much nervous disturbance? Your scribe here just envisioned a tiger pacing relentlessly up and down, up and down, up and down in a small cage. Such seems a fitting analogy. That’s us, “just rats in a cage” as the Smashing Pumpkins wrote in one of their hits. “But where is the cage?”, one may query. Right between your ears.\n\nWe have become natural creatures living unnatural lives, as the tiger which belongs in the wild and not in a cage. The solitude and silence of our natural state — our heritage — has been invaded since our childhoods. Many of us resisted, of course: the rebellious child who does not want to go to school or is a perpetual discipline case. Usually, the aberrant systems win out or severely punishes the rebels.\n\nThese aberrations are totally alien to existence in the natural world. As it is, the truest course one can set upon is not to discover the “right” religion nor philosophy — not to “find” the answers — but to, instead, strip away such notions which one has picked up along her/his life’s journey to the point of this realization. All of these “extras” are NOT innate to the human animal and thus is one best served by rejecting and ejecting them. Perhaps it’s time to begin a process of deleting ALL of the exterior programs that have been downloaded over time and simply being as we all began:\n\nblissfully and oh so naturally ignorant.",
