Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see. But there are certain non-negotiables in this life. Certain things we can't cheat ourselves out of. We are not a piece of meat being acted on.    However, this is where God comes in. Some o...

A dream for the mad

Every time you head too far down a street some slow-lookin bible thumper says hay you cayan't get uutta ha. And God comes as sand or fire or whatever and hunts you down. One woman was stuck in a toy submarine and got frozen to death trying to hide herself from this Hollywood horror God. What a vibe. It was awful and felt like I'd been there for 1000 years at the point of starting the dream but my memory had no starting point built into it. At a certain point you just figure why try to leave? Then some teacher in a Taxi with some Afrikaans name but who looks like hunter s Thompson  from fear and loathing comes in as the hero and ramps over a bunch of car rooves and takes you to his wood-paneled home before the rest of the journey. He says look after my wife for a second but you have to carry her to the rest of the family like a baby cos she's lost her arms and legs and she keeps trying to squirm to sit up and kiss you but you have to put her down each time cos gert will probably get pissed and not take you where you need to go. Then you realize this worm woman is actually the God whose town you were tryna escape
