Seeing Chaz walk down the sidewalk, kinda reminds ya of some adventurer returning from the Alaskan mountains ta pick up some supplies in Anchorage.
-But beneath the beard is a smile, and behind the scraggley hair are eyes that listen.
Chaz is a Renaisasance Man -before they wore 'Armani' -the real thing, no need to go to the museum, or pick up a book, -he's right here!

Chaz! I love him! A wizard, a true star! He is an excellent friend and exemplary party guest who truly knows how to get down and shake his groove thing. He has mastered the art of not sweating the small stuff. For an extraordinary otherworld pioneer he is surprisingly down-to-earth. He is generous with his friends and completely made my first trip to Burning Man last year great with his earned wisdom of the shade structure and general energy flow. What a big heart and calm presence and magickal mein! Keep up the great work, my friend!

Chaz is just a fantastic man. He's Sufiesque and impish, his eyes glittering with playful thoughts. He's truly considerate and helpful, loving and listening, and can keep his relationships with everyone on a high note. He's great at honest communication, allowing others to be who they are, helping create ecstatic artistic events. He has a deep heart that is connected to the center of divine.

Spring forward, lose an hour, gain an eternity,
as time speeds up exponentially.
Align with the stars, retrograde with Mercury and your email,
as Uranus stirs up some shift.
Don't rush out to the prayer meeting,
as holy men appear in your kitchen.
Embodied wisdom downloads, printed words cheapen,
as master channel choices proliferate.
Possibilities spin, dreams manifest,
as the ancient secret becomes a condensed hit movie.
Check your appointment book and financial planner,
as economic pyramids shake and calenders come to a close.
Our choices in each moment multiply, the results of our decisions lessen,
as karmic natural laws come to a balance point.
Some rapture, some rupture, some remember,
as consensus reality gets a chaotic shake.
Straight lines start to curve, hard science begins to twist, defined edges melt,
as we become aware of new dimensions overlaying our own.
Star people descend among us for last wake up call, shop and party,
as planet earth gets more alien.
Past souls journeys come alive and awake in the present,
as evolution comes to a head.
The cosmic portal beckons, the black hole sucks, the event horizon rushes forward,
as our magic quantum mirror returns with the answer to our question.
Duality quivers, the paradox explodes, the mystery deepens
as we reach that fabled fork in the road -
Ascension dilemma:
Bio-energetic light body or artificial intelligence machine?
Either/or?
Are we heading for the same space?
Somewhere in the now, one foot in the fire, one foot in the spiral,
as we dance, free of thoughts, clear in our hearts:
Love transcends all dilemmas.

What lies within
beneath the layers of manifestation
What gifts of joy
arises in the depths of meditation
Peeling back the layers
of life and death and transformation
A journey of many curves and twists
both far and deep
The moons reflected light dims
darkness proceeds across her face
The suns fire hidden
by this turn of the earth
Divine mystery and perfect science
converge in a juxtaposition of animal and angel
Descend into lust
don't forget this body, this moment
Ascend into the light
remember this spirit, this eternity
Connect that line, free of duality
in the center of your shadow heart

reach up from this ground
rejoice even in this darkness
remember the shadow on your other side
resurrect continually your life from this gravity
the tree goddess gives us a message
without saying a word
poised between rock and air
still yet ever turning
yoga stretch in a long view pose
fingers and toes, leaves and roots, connect sky and earth
centered in her ecstatic unity
natures perfect creation dance

Warm fuzzy logic
Cool clear emotions
Subtle play at the core of our being
Grand creation at the edges of our universe
The physics of uncertainty
Light laughing at our either/or dilemma
Is it a particle or a wave?
Love sighing at the constant choices here
Radiate out or pull back?
Does it matter where we put our energy?
Or is our energy deciding, animate that matter?
Either way gets us looking for the other
The opposite pole that unifies the whole
The positive and negative, yin and yang,
that completes the circuit and the circle
Take turns with the hard and soft
Dancing divine, and vibrating oh so fine,
deep in your inner mind,
the particle and the wave.

a slight shift in perception
a subtle re-orient of view
see this moment through different eyes
feel this thought with a changed mind
external world collapses in
internal galaxies spin outward
ultraviolet light threads across the void of separation
now a shaft ~ now a ring
stimulating the next intention
creating the further manifestation
humming between the particle and the wave
the etheric whisper and the elemental explosion
a message and a portal superimposed across two dimensions as one
illuminate ~ activate ~ awake
ride the light or be ridden by fright
as the planet spins
and the sun sets
and the stars twinkle
we open our eyes to find
nothing is what it seems

out on the western fringe
past the concrete and steel rails
little havens of wildness
the straight line gives way to shifting sands
a private moment for reflection and ritual
most ancient magical communion
fire of transformation and mystery
better than any TV show
play with the elements
and draw forth the muse
celebrating a free moment
soon to be illegal
only specters of presence
a shadow captured in a virtual realm

layers of meaning push on the brain
layers of pixels push on the eye
the great story becomes undressed
if we are unshocked by naked folly
where we came from becomes a myth
where we're going turns to diversion
our innocent babe just wants to be held
even as our wholeness is ripped asunder
the names in the game change
as the images revolve with the stars
false hope for the one true prophet
god grant me the faith
to save me from my beliefs
