  • To self-educate is way better than to self-medicate. And hey, a gal doesn't want to go through life as a thwarted intellectual, does she? Turn up the dial, amigos. Your community is waiting. So what if your feet haven't found anything solid on which to stand? Build your base and let time manage the project's…

  • Initial mission? Sit down and see if you can deliberately dream. Float with a specific intention in mind. Go. So far, so-so? I have full confidence in you. (A note: there is always something you must fight through before you get the honor to fail spectacularly.) Left in the wake will be caskets filled with…

  • And that dream! The glass-encased restaurant embedded inside the cave? There was even a waterfall. The setting was beautiful. A door opened onto a warm, cheerful dining room with long tables, red high-backed chairs, lots of candlelight, and flowers everywhere. Red and gold was the color scheme. Every station was supplied with wine and everyone…

  •   10. There are many worlds one can inhabit.  9. All we have to do is lose our way.   8. Trade in the standard-issue brain.  7. Grow a backbone and feathers.  6. (Our skin was always thin.)  5. Doors never stay shut.   4. Fate lives in caves.  3. Love likes nests.  2. Let…

(Knowledge of what sparks are and how they differ from illumination.) * Art creation. (Hands-on experience with end results that are less important than the process.)

  •   Things that are good: not meant to be understoodThings that are bad:   make us come backReturn to the turnstile with one eye on the skyThe other on the lieForget all that was taughtIt was memorized for naughtYesterday's pain and confusion become Stepping Stones and Building BlocksNow a quick look over the shoulderSignalChangeLanes

  • In a galaxy far, far away (i.e.: in one of time's many iterations) I am 12. I watch a new hope unfold. It is bigger than the screen in front of me. It surrounds and drowns out all other thoughts. The picture starts over at high noon so no one is late and no one…

  •   Really… what is the reason we do anything? Well, the above Thank You note is a hell of a fine one. Learn stuff. Do things. Make art. Pass on whatever you've learned along the way. Good. Bad. For All. For None. It worked for you. It didn't do a goddamn thing for me… Whatever.…
