Nothing confuses or upsets beasts more than man's search for God. 

~*~

When life leaves you directionless, the least we can do is offer people something to eat in the waiting room.

~*~

Be a farmer, not a harvester.

~*~

Everybody needs a prayer, and you call it by any name, it's still there
Something to tow your boat to distant shores, where dreams explode,
and mountains of blue lap against oceans of stone.... 
unfolding, gyrating, and breeding.

Prayer is not about seeking an unknowable God, but about reaching beyond our selves, our indentifications, with all our emotion, to strike a chord that resounds even when we are gone.

~*~

Senses are like colors, we start with 5 senses or primary colors, and by blending them, harmonizing them, we can discover new ones.

~*~

How one we are, when first we reach out to the stirring tides behind closed eyes.

~*~

God is the first domino to fall.

When I was 15 I left home. I pretended I was suicidal so I could get the fuck out of there. The environment to me at home was like a prison, and I was doing everything to escape. I was doing cocaine in high school, partying with friends late night after work, staying up all night painting or writing music, dropping acid, and behaving generally antisocial. I did coke at school, and pulled away from everyone. It got to the point that I was basically removed from the home and put on a 5150 for observation , then into a halfway house, then to a locked ward for troubled youth where I picked up the guitar and started to find actual creative ways to express my feelings. I wrote prolifically, made extraordinary friends, And even made a movie. I would sing for everyone, I took requests, it was all Guns n Roses Patience and More than Words by Extreme, U2, Jon Lennon and Rush for awhile there, drinking wine with Lee Denton in the park at midnight when I got out. I couldn't be helped because I didn't want to be helped, I wanted to break on through, to really create something new, and honest, to find my voice, to create a new color or a new way of communicating, of being. 

Then I met Mike Seeba who taught me another way, a healthy way, of appreciating the little things, and realizing I had something within me that was good without being self destructive. He showed me things like how to read myself with practice, perception as an art form, music as a connection, and not a dislocation. Buddhism, breath and a living path. 

Today I take those dichotomies, the esoteric and the simplicity, the nostalgia and the history, to strike balance in the heart of me. I was the piglet to his Winnie the pooh, finding my nuanced and unique way of seeing things, and molding it is fashion and expressing it with independence and certitude. 

Time bakes a cake of of us all from the ingredients we've chosen. The taste of memory is made from the choices we ourselves have made. Accountable in the paths we've paved. And ever watching for inspiration's reflection on the horizon.

I want to write and record a Jewish parody of Van Halen's old song "Running with the Devil" about the holiday of Passover... it'll be like 

Running with the matzah... hide the Afikoman, then jump on your dreidel and ride!!!!

If you've got the Netflixxy streamy video subscriptiony thingy over there by you, check out the show "The IT Crowd", start with episode 1, I guaranbooglywooglyteradyctylputtytatee tell you, you'll be hooked. All Netflix really needs is a button to remove laugh tracks.

Okay so I'm going to say something completely normal right now.  Ready?  Ok.  

Sometimes I look into my cup of coffee and see ripples as if someone is invisibly swimming in my coffee, and then I remember how sometimes when I'll be busy working I'll look up and see my cat sitting there just staring at me as if he's been staring at me for hours, like that girl from Paranormal Activity, but Paranormal Catctivity... so it's like that when I look into my cup of coffee, and then I naturally think, oh there's an angel swimming in my coffee like a jacuzzi, then I drink it and grow wings.   That's normal, right?

What if God is real and we're all living in a giant illusion, like a 3-dimensional role playing game... run on the best servers, updated in real time... where every action is on display... written down in the Akashic Records for all time, to be replayed, displayed, puzzled over by aliens, Gods, ghosts, and ancestors... what legacy will you leave for them?  How do you want to be remembered?

~*~

Suffering. To require, to desire, to feel yourself a bottle whose body lays empty, or nary two drops to wet the lips. To long for an others to kiss. To remember and know no more. In the darkness, where the hum of machines keep time, and moments can be pointed at one by one like ants in a line. Touch, finger to finger, that is divine, a gift to give another time, and you here to rest, comforted and fine.

Many years ago I had a vision of a woman in a long white robe leading my cat up a glowing spiral staircase in the sky... it was the day he died... I don't believe this proves that heaven or hell exists, but I do prefer the heavenly vision to the latter, and am thankful on days I can let them inspire me to create that promise right here on Earth.

~*~

Obama made the same promise that every other president in the last 50 years has made, which is getting off foreign oil... every single president has used that line to get re-elected, and not a single one has followed through. Sorry Obama, I'm not looking for a guy who says what people want/need to hear, I know your track record, it's not the worst, it's not the best, but in the end you gave in like all the rest. Then add on to that you signed NDAA, declared war on medical marijuana, lay in bed with Wallstreet, not Mainstreet, and that's hope and change I simply cannot believe in.

So I figured out how to fix Facebook chat:

1) Click on the chat settings cog bottom right of facebook
2) Click on Limit availability
3) Make sure "Make me unavailable to" is selected, and all boxes are unchecked.
If you have "Only make me available to" selected, even if all boxes are checked, chat will show everyone as offline.

I want to become a mad scientist, and then the first hybrid genetic splicing creature experiment I will perform is to create a bumblebear, which is essentially a grizzlybear with wings and a bee stinger. I mean why not? Bears like honey... this could revolutionize the world, and solve the whole bee problems! Just replace them with bears!

I lay on a life raft in a mouse maze, homes are gravestones in a suburban cemetery, where trees are granted a one inch square living space, we shave the world like we shave our face, kill the deer, kill the bird, kill the fly, dominate and create new nature, murder the indigenous nature just as we murdered the indigenous people. Cement band-aids cover a planet riddled with sadomasochistic wounds. The sun is a pill, the moon a skull's cold eyesocket. I am wild life, I am nature, I am earth. What did you come with and what did they give you? Better question, what do you accept?

I keep my rain clouds in the sky.

~*~

We may forget faces, we may forget names, but the vibration of things forever remain.

It's easier to be faithful to an idea than to a person, an idea will never leave you... alas, an idea is not reality.  An idea is a possibility, perhaps than faith is not what one should search for, perhaps faith is simply that which keeps us searching, searching for the ever longed for, and that which is searching is that which is searched for, so you see you don't need to search any longer, you're already here. 

~*~

Any religion taken too far goes from a quest of God to a task for the Devil.

~*~

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?  The egg of course, chicken takes much longer to cook!
