Glorious!

I'm as hypocritical as the worst but why is it that many of those that commit murder or crime always say after they've slaughtered, pillaged, raped and plundered..."well, I'm a Christian so I have forgiveness even if I don't deserve it..." why is it that before they committed their crime(s) they didn't say to themselves, "well, I'm a Christian and I have Forgiveness even if I don't deserve it, so why not NOT do this atrocious thing...so I can deserve the Forgiveness I take for granted." sigh...always getting Religiosity after the deed...always in hindsight...always after its too late...because being Forgiven is one thing...trying to give it to Yourself another...oh my slate isn't clean...I've had much regret but I am grateful that as I get older being a Gunslinger just doesn't seem as much fun! A little pillage here, some plunder over there...no Forgiveness is ever taken for Granted anymore...every bit of Forgiveness a piece of glorious sun!

Loving Cup!


Music Is a World Within Itself...Sir Duke

Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
But just because a record has a groove
Don't make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter A
When the people start to move
 
you can feel it all over
you can feel it all over
people 
you can feel it all over 
I can feel it all over...
can't you feel it all over...
c'mon people! 
Stevie Wonder

William Shakespeare: Sonnet XVI

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

    Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

    Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

    That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

    Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

    Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

    I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

"LOVE IS THE ANSWER and you know that for sure!"

Pushing barriers, planting seeds,
Playing the mind guerilla,
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth

Mind Games

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure

Love is a flower you got to let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together

Faith in the future out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games together
Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure

Yes is surrender you got to let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together

Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games together
Raising the spirit of peace and love
(I want you to make love, not war
I know you've heard it before)

Mind Games by John Lennon and all copy right credits go to him.

You've Got To Feel It!



Oh, let it shine, c'mon
Now everybody just sing along
Let the sun shine in
Open up your heart and let it shine on in
When you are lonely, let it shine on
Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
And when you feel like you've been mistreated
And your friends turn away
Just open your heart, and shine it on in

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation


Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in

love will steer the stars

Everyone Needs an Altar!

My Brother Dan gave this to me...you ask just what is it besides a picture of Jerry with two cheesy skull stickers, some glass pebbles, two plastic babies and a rose in a bottle cap?!! Well, let's just say my brother was NOT a fan of the Phat Man...but he knew I loved Garcia/Grateful Dead...and he used to joke that it was my religion. And with every religion he'd say "you have to have an altar" so he made this little sculpture for me...not really so much a sculpture, eh? Rather a kitsch of sweetness. And I'm sure if he heard me call it a sculpture he'd promptly "correct" me and say "It's an ALTAR not a sculpture cb!" Anyway, Jerry/Altar/It glows in the dark and as Dan(or Lord Snott as he legally changed his name to)  said..."every altar's purpose is to bring light" (mind you he said this with a snicker and an eye roll towards the sky all the while mocking me and those "dirty hippies", a group of which I was included (me of course being "different" he'd say because I like perfume and makeup). Dan was about as religious as a stone and as a professed atheist he wasn't big on altars. Nevertheless, as he said, Jerry seemed 'harmless if dirty enough'. 'And I suppose if you're gonna pray at any altar music is the "right" altar to pray at!'  Ah Dan...beautiful, arrogant, intelligent, quirky, delightful brother...Ain't no doubt he has soul and spirit. Atheist or no, my brother is full of Light and Love. Perhaps it comes out a bit like sandpaper..."just enough to smooth off any rough edges" he might say...hey, he built me my own altar!! And a guy with a good sense of humor is a treasure! Especially if he's your brother!! And this gift made up of bits and pieces that add to no monetary value is perhaps one of my favorite gifts and possessions! A gift I treasure!
