Mutually MeaningfulY’see this place is just so confusing!  Where immortality died with a smile at the notion of living  and radiant rainbows of ashen achromatic presence  laughs at what we do not perceive.  Where worms and birds wake up early together and have tea.  I heard the octopus and the squid said  
something along the lines of  Similar, but different.  A mountain crumbled at the thought of a pebble.  The mis-informer directed the informed  on how to say  inform me.  The informer forgot to say  "I dunno, maybe..."

Burning HonestyHonesty is a flame;  
made and maintained right  
it will keep you and those around you  
warm and comfortable.  
Leave the flame forgotten and neglected  
or try to burn your way through a forest that blocks your path  and it will spread  
in destruction.  .  
 
It will burn you and those you love  
if you wield honesty like a weapon;  
like a double edged sword you know  
if you strike towards another  
it will harm them,  
if you flail and thrash,  
you will harm yourself-  
so strike with the flat of the blade-  
a benign reminder  
both ways &n Burning Honesty

Mind within a Reflection‘I don’t know’ there’s a lot embodied in these three simple words.   
I feel the phantom agony  
boiling within-  
evading any name  
or solution.   
So much confusion-  
no way to ascertain  
my affliction  
when I don’t know what it is  
that afflicts;  a torrent of images, words places and people  juxtapositioned in time  invade my mind  with no rational  sense of it.     
This is why the response of laughter  
is so important,  
the acknowledgement that ones mind  
is like a mirror  
shattered in Mind within a Reflection

TheOrdealofBeingandNothingnessImagine a human suspending in nothingness.  What is it that makes this person human?   
They have no personality  They have no language  They have no sense of survival  There is no subjectivity, there is no objectivity  There is no perception or conception  There is no phenomena, there is no noumena.   
Just human and nothing.   
What makes this human, human?   
Simply being;  The first step in all philosophical and spiritual dillemas.   
Now that being has been asserted as predominant over percept, concept, subject and object, we can look closer at what make TheOrdealofBeingandNothingness

Journal Entry: Tue May 13, 2008, 5:46 AM
I've managed to sell four self-published chapbooks- I'm proud of myself- (I toot my own horn because nobody else has tooted it for me when I told them- oh, except for Lizzy, good on ya Liz, ya make me feel special.) I'm planning on doing a reading up in Berkley here pretty soon, I made a contact by the name of Maria Chavez- she was the featured reader at a recent open mic, I ended fucking her brains out (twice! good sex too...) and now I have a place to stay and read from- I like the way that worked out...

I took a job washing dishes for Christians up at mount hermon- I start sometime in June- Next friday I start my cabrillo theater internship as a follow-spot for Jesus Christs Superstar- I'm stoked on that.

All is well and nothing doesn't exist-

Good morning, I'm going to sleep.

It went pretty well. I read three poems but the Prufrock one seemed to be the best liked by the audience. I was extremely nervous but I was told that they couldn't tell so that's good. I did enjoy it and luckily my voice didn't betray my nervousness. Thanks for asking!

You might not remember this but you once told me to read a poem I wrote satirizing Prufrock at an open mic. Well there was a poetry reading last week that I participated in and that was one of the three poems I read. Just thought I'd let you know. Hope you are doing well :)
