truth is a crazy poet

I was tagged numerously on facebook with these things; after massive inner resistance I finally succumbed to the meme. On seeing sherpa's list, I realize what the hey I may as well post them here too. I won't be tagging anybody though; can you even tag people here? Feel free to follow my example. It's a lot more fun than it seems. And very enlightening to see it written out that way.

1. I’m taller than I look. The measurements lie.
2. This is more difficult than it ought to be, considerin... read more

ey ho all, as you may have noticed I've stopped blogging here on tribe. I'd also pretty much stopped everywhere, but as of new year's I started up my blog again at phoenixwolfray.com. I am also including my photography and posting fairly regularly, so in case you're interested in keeping up with, well, me... I'm not spending much time on tribe anymore. I'm not much interested in going through the work involved in duplicating posts here that I'm already posting elsewhere, yet I'd like t... read more

I’ve been feeling old and ugly lately, a consequence of my societal programming that says that a woman comes with an expiry date when it comes to worth, beauty and desirability. It’s a terrible feeling, but then, I’ve always had a certain dissatisfaction with myself when it came to comparisons with the societal ideal, so really, not so very unfamiliar.

The other night, I had a wonderful dream. I love dreams. They’re perfectly real, of course; while I’m in a dream, I’m experiencing a re... read more

(note for my Merrican friends: yes, we're having an election too. October 14.)

A new song, not a moment too soon. It’s actually political for a change, which is so not my usual thing. I must really care about this stoopid election. Though truthfully I don’t feel much hope for anything changing just because of which one of the talking heads we vote for… myself, I’m voting strategically (www.voteforenvironment.ca) which means, for Jean Crowder, in this riding. It helps that I’ve met h... read more

question everything, yes
especially death and taxes
let mind relax its vigilance
release awareness of rules
let mind flow to find
new cool curiosities
unexpected upheavals
pole shifts of perception
evolutions of perfection

Disprove preconceptions
blind mind's cluttered eye
dare to render it
kinder in its pronouncements
upon others
more compassionate in its
intent toward self

let's nevermind other
for a change
let other be strange, but trusted
give other a break
from co... read more

My Testimonials

October 28, 2007
Phoenix is one of my favorite writers in the world - I urge anyone to go and read the first draft of her nearly-finished novel "Beyond Hope" out on her Truth Is A Crazy Poet blog if you like good fantasy writing...I have seen the next draft and it just keeps getting better...maybe if even a few of us post comments about it to her blog or in this space or to her personally, she would stop keeping us in suspense as to how it's going to end! Anyway, Phoenix, your pen rocks my world.
