I Am Not My Story

by Zen Gardner

Deeply rooted, convoluted, my story took its form
Weaving and deceiving all, the characters were born
“False appearing real”, the chequered meme within its spell
As the image wound its hungry way and lies began to gel

How story loves to reinforce, for self and others’ pleasure
Not seeing that from selfsame point was made that story’s measure
The masquerade continues on, appearing unabated
While all along the Truth inside was scoffed and underrated

The stories change and rearrange, depending on the weather
Who needs what, will I survive? Co-dependent tales together
Should I play or should I stay? Should I do this or that…
Decisions made for which we paid the billing as we sat

Stories are so int’resting and often very clever
No matter if they’re true or not, we’re in this play together
Now subtle more is what’s in store when Truth It starts to surface
Conflict sure, but what allure, a grin instead of grimace

There’s something there, from who knew where, and I just could be him
Something deep that ever seeps and seeks to fill to brim
But wait, my story’s crumbling, in fact it’s quite the shock
Tis’ not as played, my cool parade – my strut began to mock

Defeat is triumph backwards, as if there’s aught to fear
The self is story on the loose, a lie yet held so dear
Thoughts and stories coalesce to try and reach success
But thankfully, we come to learn, the story’s not our best

I finalize, with final eyes, that stories all are fake
Memes and mimes just spewing lines with ego on the take
What always waits ‘yond conscious gates is something quite amazing
Creation’s aide, another grade, and this is where I’m grazing

Zen Gardner is an impactful and controversial author and speaker, whose personal story has caused no small stir amongst the entrenched alternative pundits. His book You Are the Awakening  met rave reviews and is available on amazon.com. You Are the Awakening examines the dynamics of the awakening to a more conscious awareness of who we are and why we are here – dynamics which are much different from the programmed approach of this world we were born into. Zen Gardner does not currently offer public contact details.

This is an example of a standard post format.

Inspiration is a spark. A flash of light. Ignition. But without the proper mixture of oxygen and fuel, inspiration both lives and dies in the same instant. My life, my experiences, my research; these things are fertile soil for the great blog posts hidden within me. I carry them always and they are present when I sit down to do my work.

But all too often, it’s a struggle. The raw material is there, but the inspiration is not. The oxygen is abundant, but the fuel is scarce. And I’m left wondering, “How?”

How do I harvest? How do I sift and pan? How do I mine the caverns within me for intellectual and emotional gems? How do I… write?

Or perhaps a better question is, how do you? Yes, you, my kindred blog reader. Surely, you are similar. Surely, you’ve wrestled the Great Muse down to the dusty earth, and won.

I know this: it starts before I sit down to type. Great posts begin with significant life challenges. With weighty problems to solve. With an urgent need or a mature discontent with the way things are today. Yes, I think all great posts begin before words are written.

So get up, reader. Walk away from your keyboard, and live.

Only then can you give life… to words.

I really love this wallpaper. It makes me think fondly of Chris Ames.

I suggest a new strategy to you… Let the Wookie win.

Tam enim diligenter, etiam si minus vere nam nondum id quidem audeo dicere -, sed tamen accurate non modo fundatam, verum etiam exstructam disciplinam non est facile perdiscere.

For 50 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature. The world’s leading conservation organization, WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5 million globally.

I’ve been thinking a lot about spandex today.
