I love lamps. I just put remote controls on the 3 lamps in my bedroom and all the lamps in my living room. I can now turn off all the lamps from my bed which is awesome. Really! Only problem now is I just sit here before bed turning all the lamps on and off cause I think its so cool.
I'm easily entertained.
I've been watching The Wire all the way through for I think the 4th time the last week or so. Seasons 2,3 and 4 rule. 1 and 5 are a little lacking.
I just watched the facebook movie. When I'm in tv series mode I find it hard to get into movies. I should have seen it in the theatre.
I wish I had never seen Goodfellas so I could watch it for the first time again.
Sleep.
In my king size bed which my old roomate ty left behind. I will never own a bed smaller than a king ever again if I can help it.
King size beds rule.

We have been hidden for so long
We have forgotten our real name.
Majesty.
From the depths of the soul
It cried out
I am alive!
And with one foot in front of the other
One became many
And many became One
For so long until the true names were forgotten
Man,Woman and Child
One nation under the sun
One dream
One vision
One life
Forever, happily everafter.
Forgotten until awakened by the light.
Loud as a whisper
Quiet as a bomb
As wide as the limit of thought
Which has no beginning
No end
The future is the past is the present
Life and Death
Light and Love
Mother Earth
The Sun,the Moon,the Stars
The Universe
The "IS"
I can't remember who I am but I know who you are.
You are me.
And we are Divine.
I keep forgetting to remember that.
We have forgotten our real name.
Majesty.

I am alive!
And with one foot in front of the other

If the light goes out on my watch
I will make it light again
If the winds pull me down
I will sprout wings and rise above
If I am lost, I know I will be found
If the dream ends I will rejoice in the ways of the spirit
For it is this reality
that cannot be broken nor pushed aside,
that the heart is always connected,
that the spirit never dies
I can feel a peace in this moment
as I write this
as I listen
It's a peace that so often eludes me
It's a peace that I have forgotten
Yet here it is just like always
-Love-
It's not just a word
It is Reality
It is always here
It's not going anywhere
Where should it go?
Love Is all there Is
So......
Go gently into your present to find out what your missing
It's who you really are.....
May this peace stay with you
May you not so soon forget
May your heart become open
May your vision become clear
May the people of this earth come to realize
That the light inside so long ago distorted and misplaced
Is still right here, bright and magnificent and glorious as ever
Forever is not a measure of time
Forever is
"right now"
There is no separation between you and me
There is no separation between us and the trees
There is only.....The One
-One Love-
*
+However One gets to Oneness is The Way+
I will make it light again
If the winds pull me down
I will sprout wings and rise above
If I am lost, I know I will be found
If the dream ends I will rejoice in the ways of the spirit
For it is this reality
that cannot be broken nor pushed aside,
that the heart is always connected,
that the spirit never dies
I can feel a peace in this moment
as I write this
as I listen
It's a peace that so often eludes me
It's a peace that I have forgotten
Yet here it is just like always

Cry for the times thought lost
found and never forgotten
in times of sorrow and joy
children of the universe
child of the stars
we the people of the earth
standing tall and standing blind
walking without understanding
of the truth of the matter
not just the matters at hand
but what really matters "In the beginning was "the word"
"Now is all there is"
This time we live in,
what is it?
Time, what is it?
Turns out it doesn't exist.
That's what I've heard anyway.....
Oh, and this....
Art is magic.........
Life is art........
Do the math =)

I am an artist, as we all are. Life itself is art.
I was born with a voice that really gave me no choice
but to sing.
I try to write songs about people, places, or things
but all that ever comes out is a "feeling" of those
things from my heart, which is cool too.
Sometimes the words and the melodys seem to come
from the living earth itself.
Love, freedom, pure expression, light and integrity.
On the other hand......
I lie sometimes, sometimes I drink too much,
in my youth I was a bit of a thief.
Often, my life and my words do not match.
Often the glorious messages of peace, love and hope
are really messages to inspire me, as much, if not more,
than they are to inspire other humans.
I am filled with great love, great anger and great sadness.
I will one day be healed of the madness
brought on by these contradictions.
I can be a really great guy, I can be a fucking asshole.
Like Jake and Elwood Blues, I'm on a mission from God.
And maybe the devil, although I don't believe in the devil.
Fear is my greatest enemy.
I don't really believe in god either, at least not the "god"
I was brought up to believe in.
I believe in "the one". One energy.
I believe in the energy of love. I guess love is my "god".
So I do believe in god if by god one means love.....
What I believe doesn't change what is really true though.
The truth is very simple.
It's so simple I don't know what it is.
Maybe it's Om
When I look into my child eyes, or my cats eyes for that matter, I not only see the truth,
I know "magic" is real.
I do like to think of this life as "magic".
I dislike the word "spirituality".
Magical has a lot more power to it in my view.
Plus, to most of the population of the planet, magic is the domain
of witches and wizards.
That has a certain appeal to me.......

Writing inside my solo album Shield of Thorns
The way to the heart is the way to forever
the way to the soul,
the way to the beginning,
is the place to seek,in times of war,
and in times of peace
for it matters not what appears to exist
if appearance is all that we see
then appearance is all we shall be
when in truth we shine
when in truth we are ablaze with the heat of our spirit,
with the sound of our wings
for once the beat of the drum has begun
there can be no turning back
there is only turning in
and finding that we have been home all the time
right where we started
with the beginning and the end
with friends
just like we thought it should be........
choose it and it will come true
it's up to you
choose peace......for all of us
