Sunset Over The Tucson Mountains — Image by kenne
I look at a sunset
and begin to wonder
what is the relationship
between the senses
and matters of beauty,
art and taste responding
one’s feelings and emotions?
The quality of being.

Internalizing Existence — Abstract by kenne
I seek to satisfy the Will
Through art and philosophy
To better cope with
The problems of Being
While seeking direction
For Becoming in the will to live.
This is a driving force to
Consume moments, things
Ideas, goals, and facts only to
Possess a state of being,
Where nothing remains but
Abandonment and boredom.
This is more apparent in the
The constant appearance of death
Taking place in the reality of
The world around us that is crazy,
sad, violent reality of existing
in a state where the mind and body
Are often in a conspiracy against.
We see the world around us
Through each experience
Creating personal filters
Used to interpret what is reality
Therefore, what is real is not real
Resulting in becoming a prisoner
Of our own making.

“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own.
For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.”
