about me
Being in a constant state of change, one could hardly accurately describe one's self. However, there are certain tendencies one could put forth with limited accuracy at any given moment. But, are there any tendencies that are true all of the time?

I am me! Sometimes I am no one.
I desire! Sometimes I am content.
I am here! Sometimes I am far, far away.

Fuck accuracy! Let's go out and play!!!!

Remember!

I forget that we are all One.
I forget that there is nothing to hide from.
I forget that all I have to do is be mindful.
I forget that the world is a joke and I should be laughing.
I forget that my dance is beautiful.
I forget that attentiveness is the truest expression of love.
I forget that my friends accept me, even when I'm stupid.
I forget that the bad makes the good better.
I forget that acceptance is key to happiness.
I forget to Be Here Now.

We Are All One

"If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow, and without trees we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. . . .

If we look into this sheet of paper even more deeply, we can see the sunshine in it. If the sunshine is not there, the tree cannot grow. In fact, nothing can grow. Even we cannot grow without sunshine. And so, we know that the sunshine is also in this sheet of paper. The paper and the sunshine inter-are. And if we continue to look, we can see the logger who cut the tree and brought it to the mill to be transformed into paper. And we see the wheat. We know that the logger cannot exist without his daily bread, and therefore the wheat that became his bread is also in this sheet of paper. And the logger's father and mother are in it too. . . .

You cannot point out one thing that is not here -- time, space, the earth, the rain, the minerals in the soil, the sunshine, the cloud, the river, the heat. Everything co-exists with this sheet of paper. . . . As thin as this sheet of paper is, it contains everything in the universe in it."

Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

My good friend Zig Zag showed me this excellent podcast:

It's a no-bullshit view of of Buddhism, stripping it down to the bare bones and getting at the core of what really matters.
