Just Be by Kiler Davenport




This god. This thing. This odyssey. This bewildering, long-lasting dream. Contemplation will not bring clarification. I ponder. I seek. I stand in awe.


My young life was wanting. My midyears are confusing. And now I am back at the starting place. I know nothing. I am nothing. Furthermore, I seek nothing.

What are we, you, they, them, and us? Are we not altogether in this matrix? Are we somehow divided and special? Do we not seek the same things, the same love, caring, understanding and security? What is it that makes us think we are so different?

We pass gas. We excrete the waste. Furthermore, we salivate, sweat, vomit, fall, slander and gravitate toward those dark moments. We are all susceptible to what might be called evil. Yet isn't this just an illusion? A trick of the senses. An evolutionary diversion.

What is evolution? What is creation, existence, consciousness, love, the collective, the community, the all in us?

I seek to explore, implore, draw out, and beg the question of this matrix. What is it? How could it possibly be? Where could it possibly be?

We do know not where we are. We know not of the place from whence we came, and we know not where we might go as we take that last and final breath. So let us rejoice At this moment of ecstasy. This orgasm of the senses. This realization of some delusion of reality. This ecstatic moment we call existence, consciousness, reality, the I AM, me, the self. Look at me, me, me.

Dissolve yourself into this paradigm. This dark and empty void. These particles dance in this orgy of exultation and primordial soup. Seek to become. Seek to know that you do not know. Be naked. Walk on this bare ground with your bare feet. Extend your arms into this vast, unknowable void and just be. Just be. Just be.

All about Kiler Davenport by Kiler Davenport

My very harsh and to the fucking point personality comes from all the death, dying, suffering, and pain I have been around since I was 14 years old, I am 65 years old now. I was completely surrounded by blood and guts from a very early age, due to the fact that I started hanging around the fire station at 14 years old. And back then I was going out on calls with the units.  It was nothing to see 3 or 4 dead bodies a day back then because I also worked at the funeral home and hung out at the ME’s office watching them do and many times assisting with the autopsy. Plus, my dad was friends with the top funeral homeowner in the city and I hung out there all the time too, and I learned to embalm and dress and do hair and makeup on the dead. Then we would box them up and make them ready for family viewing.  Now just down the street from the funeral home was the crematorium, and they always needed help lifting these very heavy bodies into the ovens, so I learned to use the retorts an...
