Woodstock Anniversary
(blog entry)
So many emotions on this anniversary, with lots of stuff from the past crying for attention. Forces a life evaluation process. At least for me, life didn't turn out at all like I wanted and the world is far from what I hoped it would be. I've betr...

Apollo is a blessing such as the essence of conscious awareness coupled with the clear and present truth of a mystery wrapped in the riddle of an enigma.

Apollo is an inspiration. He's the reason I'm a self-proclaimed raver, and I'm proud to call him my friend.

I heartily endorse this person or product.
Or I would if I had a heart.

about me
On a quest and still thrashing about in the dark woods.
So many emotions on this anniversary, with lots of stuff from the past crying for attention. Forces a life evaluation process. At least for me, life didn't turn out at all like I wanted and the world is far from what I hoped it would be. I've betrayed my ideals so many times, and I did passionately believe in the counterculture. Still do. That's the sin if you will. The counterculture was bought out - coopted was the term - and many of us came cheaper than we thought. But life really is a cir...

An Open Letter to Barack Obama
Between Hope and Reality
By Ralph Nader
Dear Senator Obama:
In your nearly two-year presidential campaign, the words "hope and change," "change and hope" have been your trademark declarations. Yet there is an asymmetry between those objectives and your political character that succumbs to contrary centers of power that want not "hope and change" but the continuation of the power-entrenched status quo.
Far more than Senator McCain, you have recei...

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and ...

The Invitation
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to
know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting
your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how
old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like
a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure
of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon,
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own
sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have
become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain!
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own,
without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstacy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us
to be careful, to be realistic to remember the limitations of
being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to
yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not
betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore
trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty,
every day, and source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine
and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "YES!"
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much
money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after a
night of grief, and despair, weary and bruised to the bone,
and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be
here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where, or what or with whom you
have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the
inside, when all else falls away. I want to know if you
can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the
company you keep in the empty moments.
