"Wild Child, full of grace, savor of the human race."



Natural child, terrible child, not your mother, or your fathers child. You're our child- screaming wild."

"Have you forgotten the keys to the kingdom?"

‎"I noticed that when people are joking they're usually dead serious, and when theyre dead serious its usually pretty funny."
"WHEN THE MUSICS OVER. turn out the light. turn out the light. turn out the light... THE MUSIC IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND, until the end."

"Cancel my subscription to the resurrection. Send my credentials to the house of detention."

"I'm gonna love you till the heavens stop the rain..
'
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky for you and I."



OBEDIENCE MISSILES

Egypt is on fire, and one half of the US is frozen. California will see a storm that will burst the levys.. so we're told. We are in a shithouse recession.. What are we supposed to do? We can go ahead and let the blood bleed, 'neurotisize' over all that we love, both in vein and in its purest forms.. but we shall NEVER allow ourselves to be guilty of a lousy representation... of misrepresenting our own manifestations.

Most of us seethe some sort of storm.. our levys burst... and still all over each other. It is stupid. Jim Morrison was fined for exploding/exploring/exposing/expressing on stage while his War Captain father was sending obedience missiles.. 'Keep your junk in your pants kid, or we'll send you to jail! Why can't you kill masses of people for our country like the rest of us??'

Everybody has a ROLE. The pure artist usually dies (of a broken will or heart) before they get to see everyone else catch on to the message... so the trend goes.

just thoughts,

Cherokee Proverb


An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life...

He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One wolf is evil -- he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good---he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too."

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied: "The one you feed".

The Search for Myself
All the music I write is a search for myself.
— Bruce Hornsby

While writing my first book, I came upon a Buddhist text in which the author confessed, “I have no pretension that I am writing this book for any purpose other
than my own awak–ening. ” His candor struck a chord deep within me as I realized that I, too, write primarily for the healing of my own mind and spirit. Since then, I have spoken to countless creative artists who agree that even if no one else ever read their books, saw their paintings, or listened to their music, all of their efforts would be worth the sheer joy of producing the work.
For whom are your creative efforts directed? Do you write, sing, or dance for worldly approval, or are you hearkening to the inner writer, singer, or dancer calling to express and celebrate?
We teach what we need to learn. Sometimes teachers are reluctant to admit that they need to study what they are teaching, but that is the very reason we are in a particular position. In college, I learned a famous re–laxation technique developed by a renowned psychologist. My friend met the man and described him as “one of the most uptight people I have ever met. ” Was he a hypocrite? Not necessarily. If you teach what you have mastered, even while you’re learning more, you are in integrity. The tech–nique this man developed for his own healing helped many people who applied it.
Your right place is the one in which you are receiving the most edifi–cation. The fact that other people receive a benefit is the icing on the cake. Do what is healing to your spirit, and without effort you will offer the world healing in return.

Direct me to the work that will feed my soul,
that I may feed others.

I do what I love, and the world loves
what I do
