A Letter to Noone

I toss the dice, not a care in the world. Spreading this strange behavior and claim I found a freedom. Because I did. I feel free from this burden many people call “life”. I know emotion, but I do not know stress. My emotion does not escape the moment.
I do not feel alive. I feel like a moment in time. Tell yourself I’m on drugs. I’ll tell you to test me. 
Life comes and goes. Accept the reality of death. Life knows nothing past death. I see life as a race.
First to die wins. This Earth is a hell. Life is not worth living but row our boats we must. Searching, searching for our holy grail. The glimpse of happiness we saw once a long time ago. And cry we do over that we lost. But row our boats we must. Blindly wandering through this blank ocean of life hoping to find more to it.
There is more to it. But it’s not in the ocean. You won’t find the freedom there. The freedom comes from letting go of the pains of the dead life we know in and have past.

Life is in the moment. Always.
You will not know life, love, if you don’t grasp the moment and accept the pains of life a sad death will follow.

Find your freedom. Be free. Accept the possibility of fleeing at a moment’s notice, because that pressure is constantly on us. In a world where there are enough weapons to blow it away with a push of a button, life is fleeing. It’s all we do in life; run from death.

I’m tired of running. I’ve hidden my mind through drowning my thoughts with music for years. I turned my music off and began writing. I lost myself in my mind and found myself free from life. I don’t think it’s much different from Buddha’s journey to the woods, he lost himself inside himself for some time. All I’m trying to do, is invite you to do the same.

 

Your Happy Hippie
