Optimism isn’t a  temporary state, neither  is being positive. It isn’t always rainbows, cotton candy and bowls of cherries. And, to think that is absolutely ridiculous. It isn’t walking around in a perpetual euphoric state that some experience while on some sort of drug that makes them feel ecstatic, or whatever. It isn’t any of the bullshit, everyday, mundane things that you’ve heard of. What optimism boils down to is the ability to find the lesson in every challenge. It is the ability to make your vision of yourself so flexible that nothing is insurmountable–no problem unsolvable, no glitch a [...]

How can I explain the constant lights that flash through my temple? The gifts brought across time and space–where darkness is nothing more than a canvas for light frequencies and sound that make words seem archaic and useless? There is no logic for thoughts heard in silence, where ears are nothing more than walls for earrings, and the mind at a total loss. Messages do not follow the rules of communications deemed fit by the tightly closed cell we force our brains into. And, yet, like a diamond–time, pressure and temper bring all the elements together forming something much stronger [...]

I haven’t seen you for some time, and I can’t say I miss you much. You were always trying to run the show when you were nothing more than a bit player. Out of balance, you viewed everything and everyone as tools. And, anyone or anything that obeyed you only kept you more deluded. Anyone who did anything but, obeyed–well, I hope they recovered. The dark used to be filled with anxiety, and now it is the essence of peace. I enjoy quiet much more than the sound of the human voice. I enjoy myself so much more now that [...]

So here I am on Sunday afternoon in the city that I’ve been in love with for more than 10 years. Besides, my relationship with myself, I would say this is my most committed, most passionate relationship. I love New York City. If this place isn’t home for me on planet earth, then home on planet earth doesn’t exist.   Recently, I’ve been haunted by beautiful birds; specifically, the phoenix and the peacock. I would see peacocks in visions, in art, in clothing, it just seems like it’s everywhere. And, the phoenix is making itself known in my life in [...]

While I sit in the middle of financial meltdowns listening to the moans and groans of people facing the truths revealed; I can’t help to feel…relieved. And, yes… happy. Everyone talks about evolution, and revolution, but, they give no thought as to what those things cost. In order for us to be reborn, life as we know it, must parrish. While some may find change hard, they will soon also find it inevitable. I think change is one of those things, much like fear, is only feared because it is unknown. But, then again, so is life, that is until you know… [...]

Oh…it’s sooo broken, the system is sooo broken. That stupid “bailout”, “rescue” or whatever… was a hustle. But, eh… you knew that didn’t you? I read somewhere today that the losses of retirement funds over the last ten months are double-digited in the trillions today. Yeah… Eggs… there will be a lot more of those breaking soon. And, if you’re smart, you’ll really get into eating omlettes. WTF are you talking about Monica??? I’m stating in simple language that the jig is up, and that dog won’t hunt. There’s no coming back from this… There’s only going forward. There are [...]
