Wait Here for the Present

What is my highest intention for my life?
Distinguishing between 
serving my needs and DOing out of 
obligation.

I’m going to change the world.
I’m going to inspire people.
I am a selfish asshole.

I am a controlling bitch and I 
always want to be right.
Why can’t I just relinquish my 
death-grip on life, and let 
other people exist in 
my world?!

I have such a hard time saying yes, 
yes to life, yes to 
love, yes to 
change.
I’m a brat who thinks she 
deserves so much more than I 
already have.

I’m an under-appreciater.
I’m an optimist at heart, but 
when things take a turn far south–I 
become a groupie and a 
slump and
I jump on that bandwagon rolling 
down-hill faster than a Cajun 
fiddle player.

“Two Squares of Toilet Paper, Four Squares of Chocolate”

Pay attention to detail
It is here that I can discover the foundation for a work of art 
The intricacy of regarding every aspect, fully
There is no complete, finish, finally, so don’t try and fix it
“Fixing” it won’t really change anything
Choosing to be in the fire
Desire to actively participate in dynamic and useful means for purification
BE PREPARED TO BURN, DUMMY
To burn is to suffer exquisitely
Only transformation is waiting
In order to experience the truth, one must be present
Awake, alive, physically “there”
Transmission lies in the physical domain
Energy–matter, radiation that is manifested as a capacity to perform work
Energy exists in substance, in form, in the body
I exist in order to receive
Receive the knowledge of the Siprit
He is the lion, roaring only to let us know he is king
Standing in my strength, standing in what I know to be true
In the face of terror–remember–
The lion is not hungry, we mustn’t be afraid
Just breathe GOD DAMN IT!

IT

All it is, is a wish to inspire
All I’ve got, is an itch for it to become my life
The notion of loving, is it defined
Create the space for it to show up in
If you were it, what would you be
How come it is so difficult, and yet, when you stop trying it falls in your lap
Try, how come we try to find it
And define it, and refine it
Why does it exist
(For now, don’t ask why)
It is time for rebirth
The glass is filled to the brim, it is spilling over
It is not a dream
It has a hold on me
I have to remember not be afraid of it
Cultivate it
Manifest it
Groove, baby, groove, because it is all you got
“First time here, how does it work?” 

Get Something

I got Buddha on my speed dial,
Doin’ all he can
I got Jesus on my friend list,
Looking mighty fine
I got Mohammed making waffles,
In my kitchen drinkin’ wine
I got Gandhi turning tables,
Til’ the end of time
 
What do you got?

Being Honest


I can’t decide weather it’s better to write crap
or not write at all. I’ve come to the conclusion that
as long as I’m writing I can’t be blamed for
not creating, and since there’s a chance that even
when I DO write, I might still be blamed for writing
crap, so here you have it, take it or leave it. This is
an honest attempt in relinquishing judgment of myself.

I’ll admit, I have a tendency to conclude before knowing
and therefore simultaneously deciding upon something
before I have sufficient knowledge upon which to evaluate.

Whether I like to admit it or not, my quality of being,
relies heavily on the attitudes and emotions of others
who I am close to. I take what you say to heart. I trust you.
Please be careful with MY heart, and I will be careful with
yours.
