My guts are dreams.
July 5, 2012
I am A Dork. I dunno if you can tell but I was HEAVILY influenced by fiction/fantasy novels like the English Patient or The Dragon Lance Chronicles or Beach Music or A Boy’s Life or 1984 or The Wheel of Time series when I was a kid. I was enraptured with movies like The Princess Bride, Willow […]
My Mountains are Burning…but that’s okay.
June 28, 2012
Agni The mountains are burning – thousands of acres a dry feast –consumed to the bone dry Colorado dirt. Homes are being picked up and thrown away in waves of thick black smoke. Animals are suffocating, burning, dying. Some reports say the smoke cloud stretches all the way to Oklahoma ferried on the swift winds […]
Skin Symbols and Sympathy.
June 25, 2012
New Skin. I’d forgotten about the intimacy that accompanies a new tattoo. Perhaps made nostalgic is a better description…I have made nostalgic the way my body experiences the process of a needle biting an image into my skin. It is a sensual nostalgia –my body response leading the memory and the ego trailing after…i dig […]
Scars and Ink
June 18, 2012
There are really only two instances that make me think about being a cutter when I was young: When I get a new tattoo. When I begin a new relationship. Not that it doesn’t come up every once in a while whilst digging around in my soul garden…it’s just that these two things make me sit and […]
Compassion, judgement,pity and the places in between.

There are parts of me that want to jest about this somehow –to throw up a wall of sarcasm & block the primal truth of human pain and vulnerability writ large in the giant eyes […]

Love Bukowski and avoiding the soul crush.
June 12, 2012
You know what I love? Good. Fracking Fucking.Writing. See what I did there- crossing out the pseudo expletive and using ACTUAL profanity? I’ve been having this internal discussion as of late about my use of swear words in my posts –Is it too much?- What if people are offended? Blah-blah. I’ve decided that I am […]
Toilets in Mumbai.
June 5, 2012
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it–always. Mahatma Gandhi .Toilets in Mumbai. This is the new code. The Grand Chu […]
Soul Seeds
May 31, 2012
So. James Hillman –philosophe and archetypal psychologist – coined the idea of the Soul Code. The concept flows something like this: Your soul lives within you and at birth houses all of your potential, (like a genetic imprint) and this subconscious inner knowledge of the soul makes us who we are. It determines who we […]
Yoga. Love. Life. Philosophy and a bit of humor tossed in for flavor.
