Earthling Reborn

(Be of this World)
© September 23, 2011 Greg DiMase

I choose to Be Of This World
It’s the place where I was born
It’s the place where all of us live now
No need to fight each other and be torn

Participate here
Be right here
Come together right here
Be an Earthling here … reborn

If you separate yourself from us
Into your own heavenly group
If you remove yourself mentally from this world
Don’t treat the rest of us like infidel soup

Why not participate here fully?
Try being here fully
Come together 100% fully
Be an Earthling here reborn

Conceive of the idea
Gestate the goal
Give birth to the new you
Without fragmenting yourself – so remain whole

Giving up on fully living here
For some pie-in-the-sky promise
Could be a cop-out for experiencing
Life at its very fullest

If you’re not of this world
Or barely participating
Justified belief-bigotry or indifference
Will be your claim to partial living

Conceive of this idea
To no belief system you are sworn
Time to join in the Earthly family
Be of this World now
An Earthling reborn

Knowing You’re Gone

Greg — Sun, 15 May 2011 07:13:48 +0000

Thanks for verifying my intuition — which came to me shortly before I proposed to you years ago and you gladly accepted, and then again when you decided to stay in your destined-to-fail marriage, and finally recently when you told me you were getting a divorce and you abruptly turned away from me — that no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try — I’ll never be married to you. I didn’t want to believe it and I had to pursue the possibility that my intuition was incorrect. However, you succeeded in proving my intuition virtually correct. There is only one event now that will completely exonerate you in my mind, but I have doubts it will ever happen.

Knowing You’re Gone

05-14-2011 (#155)

I finally realized yesterday
That you’re definitely and completely gone
I figured I’d immortalize it
By writing this song

Even though you’ve been gone
For too long now already
I finally determined now
That you’re really gone
Gone for sure now already

I didn’t want to believe it
Almost a year ago and since then all along
That you would ever want to leave
Leave me writing this type of song

It’s already been close to a year
Back when you secretly said so long
The only clues I had
Were watching you turn away
And your heart moving along

You left on a receding angle
And close to six months ago you turned
Completely and abruptly away from me
I should have accepted that then and learned

That you were long, long gone
Already gone for so long
Wishing you had said something way back before then
Even a simple well-wishing so-long

I might have retained
Some respect for you
But you told me nothing and treated me badly
So, now I’m completely disappointed with you

We could have been great friends
And even life-long wonderful lovers
But you coldly killed all that for me
Right now I want to ignore you forever

At least I have the decency
To say good bye
Good bye to you in this song
So, good bye
Bad bye
I’m gone
So long

You’re on your own now regarding me.

daVinci Birch

Half of a double trunk from a European White Birch that I’ve nicknamed daVinci Birch due to its natural painting-like hidden details. Applying Thompson’s Water Seal brings out colors and details not previously seen in the cross-section cuts. This particular piece is one part of the footing to an end-table with old-world-like art style detailing in the table top. Click here to see the table top.
