Life Philosophy

April 11, 2022 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

life without a methodology
is not life
nor is any life philosophy which comes from idea
the philosophy of life is written in nature
contemplating on which is the door to that which evades us
including myself
this philosophy is also written within us
expressed externally in nature
nature mirrors what’s innermost
but a mind of ideas,
loves its ideas
and an idea is not life
nor philosophy
it is a child spawn of relativity
one who cries incessantly from an unquenchable desire for attention
an absolute parenting conundrum
because the very solution
is in the formula
but the formula is seen as the problem
or just plain unseen
because the cries are too loud
so focus on life is lost
and its message, unheard
