BURN BABY BURN

" To keep the lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it"

-Mother Theresa

" Our spiritual nature must be nurtured. Thought & meditation lovingly kindle the flame that guides us from within. Because we are human, we often let the flame flicker. & perhaps go out. And then we sense the dreaded alone-ness. 

Fortunately, some time away, perhaps even a few moments in quiet communication with ourselves & with nature, the FLAME can be rekindled.

For most of us the FLAME burned low, or not at all, for many years. The flickering we may feel today, or tomorrow, or felt yesterday, will not last, so we may put away our fears.

We can fuel our inner flame.We can let our spirit spring forth, let it warm our hearts and the hearts of others.

We each have a friend whose flame may be flickering today. I will help them, and thus myself. A steady flame can rekindle one thats flickering.


"TOGETHER WE STAND. 
DEVIDED WE FALL."

WHEN THEY DON'T, IT IS EASIER TO IGNORE

On a long and lonesome highway 
East of Omaha 
You can listen to the engine 
Moanin' out his one note song 
You can think about the woman 
Or the girl you knew the night before 
But your thoughts will soon be wandering 
The way they always do 
When you're ridin' sixteen hours 
And there's nothin' much to do 
And you don't feel much like ridin', 
You just wish the trip was through 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin' star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 

Well you walk into a restaurant, 
Strung out from the road 
And you feel the eyes upon you 
As you're shakin' off the cold 
You pretend it doesn't bother you 
But you just want to explode 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+seger/turn+the+page_20021931.html ] 
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, 
Other times you can 
All the same old cliches, 
"Is that a woman or a man?" 
And you always seem outnumbered, 
You don't dare make a stand 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin' star again 
There I go 
Turn the page 

Out there in the spotlight 
You're a million miles away 
Every ounce of energy 
You try to give away 
As the sweat pours out your body 
Like the music that you play 

Later in the evening 
As you lie awake in bed 
With the echoes from the amplifiers 
Ringin' in your head 
You smoke the day's last cigarette, 
Rememberin' what she said 

Here I am 
On the road again 
There I am 
Up on the stage 
Here I go 
Playin' star again 
There I go 
There i go...

So, so you think you can tell 
Heaven from Hell 
Blue sky's from pain 
Can you tell a green field 
From a cold steel rail? 
A smile from a veil? 
Do you think you can tell? 

And did they get you to trade 
Your heroes for ghosts? 
Hot ashes for trees? 
Hot air for a cool breeze? 
Cold comfort for change? 
And did you exchange 
A walk on part in the war 
For a lead role in a cage? 

How I wish, how I wish you were here 
We're just two lost souls 
Swimming in a fish bowl 
Year after year 
Running over the same old ground. 
And how we found
The same old fears. 
Wish you were here.

Pick apart

The pieces of your heart

And let me peer inside

Let me in

Where only your thoughts have been

Let me occupy your mind

As you do mine

Your heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense

But I'm desperate to connect

And you, you can't live like this

You have lost

(Too much love)

To fear, doubt and distrust

(It's not enough)

You just threw away the key

(To your heart)

You don't get burned

(Cause nothing gets through)

It makes it easier

(Easier on you)

But that much more difficult for me

To make you see…

Love ain't fair

So there you are

My love

Your heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense

But I'm desperate to connect

And you, you can't live like this

Love ain't safe

You won't get hurt if you stay chaste

So you can wait

But I won't waste my love

NEW PHONE. 
its not a crackberry.
but its JUST as scary.

is it too much to ask to have a conversation
these days
in person?



I want to shake your hand.
I want you to feel how hard I shake it...
and I want my words to be heard, without confusion.

"Some days, it’s not about passion and courage.

It’s not about heroism and drama.

It’s not about slaying dragons or conjuring exotic visions.

Some days, it’s not about transcendence or transformation, not about being better than anyone who came before you.

Some days, it’s simply about delicious acts of doing simple things, simply. "

WHERE ALL THINGS WILL BE ARTISTICALLY

GNARLYALL the time. YES!

RAINY DAY MIX
VOL. 1

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." -Oscar Wilde

"This is the moment that you know

That you told her that you loved her but you don't.
You touch her skin and then you think...
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.


I spent two weeks in Silver lake
The California sun cascading down my face
There was a girl with light brown streaks,
And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
Yeah, she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.

I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking,
As we moved together in the dark
And all the friends that I was telling
All the playful misspellings
and every bite I gave, they left a mark
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
And formed the bruises
That you said you didn't want to fade
But they did, and so did I that day

All I see are dark Grey clouds
In the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you ask "Is something wrong?"
I think "You're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now.
No, we can't talk about it now."



So one last touch and then you'll go
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap
and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Yeah, you are beautiful
but you don't mean a thing to me ..."

-Death Cab for Cutie

"WHEN YOU STUMBLE...
make it part of the dance." -unknown

"A much more interesting, kind, adventurous, and joyful approach to life is to begin to develop our curiosity, not caring whether the object of our inquisitiveness is bitter or sweet.

To lead a life that goes beyond pettiness and prejudice and always wanting to make sure that everything turns out on our own terms, to lead a more passionate, full, and delightful life than that, we must realize that we can endure a lot of pain and pleasure for the sake of finding out who we are and what this world is, how we tick and how our world ticks, how the whole thing just is."

-Pema Chodron

OH BOY!
