I am not right

You are not wrong

I am not wrong

You are not right

Above is truth

below are lies

below is truth 

above are lies

gracefully dancing

falling twisted

the full range

the icy pallette

the million colors

the one clear light

all the same

when fragmented or together

inspired despair

to false love

to truth

lying on the flower bed

or lying to your face

still really one together

now and forever

All Disease

is vice

all disease is vice

very radical statement

VICE

ALL! DISEASE IS

VICE!!

all disease is vice

live with that for a moment
try it on
what does it mean
is it useful?

Correction At Last?

A big sell off is happening right now.
About 4% off the market in two days.
Looks like a normal thing.
How much more? Another 6% and we would have a nice 10% correction.
How long will it take?
Maybe two weeks.
So I will make a wild guess that a bottom will be made around June 6

I am curious to see if this pans out.

Suicide Note

This was written in acting class as an independent activity. The imaginary circumstance is a husband who has lost his wife and has adult independent children. In the scene he has already taken poison and knows he has only a few minutes of life remaining to him. He writes a suicide note, but it is written to his late wife.


My love! My eternal love!
I have tried to stay in this world, but soon I will join you. 
A year I have gone on, each day more painful than the last.
Now for the first time I have hope because I know I will join you,
soon. Just a few minutes and I will be with you, joy to be reunited.
Please understand why I have done this. The pain was too much to bear. My only hope is to be with you again, or oblivion, much better than this living death I have endured.


    

Are Fruit Trees Selfish?

Are people really just selfish and phony and liars? Who knows?
Maybe those are the wrong questions. Hung up on that stuff when the real point is to learn to be happy and loving.
Think of people like fruit trees. Are the trees selfish. Yes! They give fruit in order to spread their seed. So they do have an ulterior motive! But what is the motive of spreading seed? Isn’t that unselfish? What good does it do ME to have descendants?
