hello friend ... it's true, i do love sidney portier... i had an epiphany about my attraction to the absurd and esp. kafka's heros and i was thinking about people who had beat the evil and absurd beast of the system...ghandi, jesus, mlk, mandela, and i was thinking about paul robeson and how great a man he was and then when i got home there was s documentary about portier and i had no idea about his life and how dreamlike and powerful it was...did you know the self rule of the bahamas (where he was born) by the local population was brought about indirectly by portier's first controversial film? it was banned by the colonial british g'ment but the people were so massively angered that they formed a political party (their first) and demanded the film be shown, and from there managed to take control of the g'ment. it was a very good night for realizing things. pleased to make your acquaintance. peace.

Saw your post in the indie rock group...

Hey, I know Anya from way back. How is she doing? I take it from your post, she's still playing. Tell her, Poser says, "Hi!"

"...sometimes we have to have one hand on this rock here, one hand on that one, and each big toe seeking out firm if temporary footing, and while we're scaling that rock face, there's no time for bubbles, champagne, and a witty aside. You don't mind that people in this situation are not being charming. You are glad to see them doing something you will...

reaching out

In "The Deeper Wound," Deepak Chopra writes: "Suffering can be defined as the pain that makes life seem meaningless [We] are subject to complex inner pain that includes fear, guilt, shame, grief, rage and hopelessness Hold [someone] Don't be afraid to ask for contact. Reach out." - snipped from http://thisisawar.com

cutters and healers

there are
cutters and healers
bleeders and treaters
love physicians and heart therapists

and the girls and boys
who stand between
the self-injurers who do it just
to feel some-
things

look at us running back and forth like
we're playing tag
and you're it

look at me trying to build and traverse
that bridge
picking up the phone after we'd made...

soulmates:

"Why is it so hard to find a soulmate?" asks psychologist Carolyn Godschild Miller in her book Soulmates: Following Inner Guidance to the Relationship of Your Dreams.

Her answer: "Because most of us are actually searching for egomates instead. We place the most limited and unloving aspect of our minds in charge of our search for love, and then...

I really dislike soulamte, and have a huge degree of suspicion about "true love"...
It just seems an easy excuse to avoid looking at people as complex and not easily thrown into lovely social boxen. Grr.

ninji:
mmmm...agreed. the word "soulmate" has a sting to it. it seems like a warm and fuzzy word, but, all told, it seems like a marketing tool more than anything.

thanks for playin' the home game, guys! on to new entries. wink

my friend JFP was informing me yet again of the 'art as healing' process yesterday (THANK U).

though ji has come a long way there are still many strewn-about bits of body, mind, soul, spirit health that could be more healthy--more-than-too-often i distract myself with externals in attempts to gloss over these aspects or begin to heal them, but not to persist.

the one thing...

my ex found Julia Cameron's book incredibly useful in sorting her life out - hard work, but it all seemed to go alright for her in the end. She dropped an unsatisfying career in new media, became a reiki healer, and it's all worked out for her.

I give.

You called me fragile and self-indulgent. You have called me talented and marvelous. You have come into my space and flirted and bolted the other way. You have told me, "sensuous, baby, sensuous" then moved out of the state.

You asked me literally to be a "bookmark girl," then you, too, moved out of the state. Asked me to wait around and stuff....

Please excuse the fact that my zoned-out-ness at hte time made it hard to realize that I felt that wa, but meeting up with you was not only a complete surprise, but a truly, legitimately, wonderful experience. to say "It was nice to meet you" would suck, and not convey how really nice it was talking with you, even though it was mostly just me babbling. I could ell that if I had beyond the actually broing things I was tlaking about, I was enjoying your company. So there. I have decided, in the back of my brain after good night's rest, that you rock. and I don't say that to all the girls. smile ROCK.

honeyflavored even when it rains

"Where we love, let us deepen that love through silent communion in the chambers of the heart. Where we experience conflict, let us find the soul of the other in silence, in prayer. Let us release to God our lack of harmony and ask Him to heal the harsh and broken connection between us." - Marianne Williamson

i was feeling kind of down when i wrote that... i've always felt some appealing irony in oldies songs. they are often about heartbreak and pain, but yet are sung with a playful joy, a sense of upbeat that doesn't fit.

thanks for asking. i do appreciate it.

like attracts love: A PROOF.


like attracts like
if you are loving yourself then the next part of the proof would be
like=love.

someone else is doing the same math.

then their equation matches up with yours,

and like attracts love.

be strong (self love first)

love self first

as within, so without

if the energy is not loving up on you, it will...

note to self:

hope. hope helps. hope heals. but if you can't muster that...just keep expressing yourself. no matter what, just keep expressing yourself. through the good times, bad, keep journaling. creating. sharing. this is like a pipeline to G(o)od.
