​“This diary is my kief, hashish and opium pipe. This is my drug and my vice.” 
― Anaïs Nin

​“You will recognize your own path 
when you come upon it 
because you will suddenly have all the energy 
and imagination you will ever need.” 
― Sara Teasdale

​Wrestling with thoughts
words
ideas.
Throwing them into
the air.
Seeing where it is that 
they will land.

​Wish that this writing business
would just happen,
but it doesn’t work that way.
I often
have to work
and strain
and pull it from the ether
just to try make something 
happen.
It is still an on going process.

​What keeps me writing,
I am not sure.
All that I know is,
that the world needs 
more writers
painters
and lovers of life.
The rest of it,
well the rest of it is just
background noise.

​We become what we believe,
and fear what we do not understand.
Learning is the beginning of wisdom.

​I like to believe 
that I have learned a couple
of things,
while being on my path.
One of the things 
that I have learned
is that the first person that
you have to please
is yourself.
That those that love you
will understand,
and love you even more for that. 

​Justice.
Mercy.
And the 
knowledge 
of God,
is the beginning 
of wisdom.

​Good Morning Everyone,

in the beginning of this thing called life,
it all seemed to easy, 
and it was,
but at the same time,
when our lives started to get to complicated,
it is always easier to blame someone else,
then to try and fix it.

​Words come.
Words go.
Life begins.
Life ends.
What is the difference?

​Can we remember?
Can we remember to forget?
All of the things that seem to make us all so sad.
Original sin.
Universal guilt.
There is a time and a place for everything.
It is just a question putting things in order.
The next question is,
where to start.

​It is always a good thing,
to be open and honest,
but being open and honest,
isn’t always the truth.

​We often look for something that has already found us.
A love that we let get away.
The love that we never found.
Our world turned upside down.
The rest of it is simply background noise.

​Sometimes,
the best way to write,
is to write without thinking.
It is the best way to find out
what is really on your mind.

​Live life,
like there is no tomorrow.
Love life
as though you will live forever.
Finally love,
love those you love as if you have 
never had your heart broken.

​Life
what else can I say
except that it beats the 
alternative,
which is always a long time.

​Faith
hope 
love
and 
the power of being.
What else is their,
at least in this life.

​Life
death
love 
hate
war 
peace
famine or plenty.
In the end
we still end up
in the middle 
of two extremes. 

​Old 
new
borrowed
blue,
in the end,
we leave
everything 
behind
once the 
way over 
Jordan 
is open.

​All things are useful,
but are all things beneficial.
That is where we can get into trouble.
Deciding which one
is which.

​Wishful thinking,
even in the best of times.
Is the one thing that I find,
can be the most damning thing of all.
That we are aware of what we need to do,
what we have to do,
and what we want to do,
that the only thing that I can do,
is just find a way,
to get it all together.

​Good Morning Everyone,

in the morning
just before the dawn
when it is raining
it find it peaceful
almost soothing.
That in some way
it is all going to be alright.
