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...

I love to write



 If you took everything else away from me and there was only writing, I think I could carry on just fine. People, as I've often said, aren't "it". They don't hold the meaning you need. 

People disappoint. 

In the garden there was first job of mankind: Gardener. Writing came with Moses and that was intended from the beginning. Otherwise there'd be no garden to write about.

This morning as I was doing  my yoga I was happy. You do not understand the level and intensity of that happiness. And why was I so happy? Because my hope has been restored. I'm a little out of sorts. Sore body and the works. But that's okay. I keep drinking these glutathione drinks hoping that something will change. 

I don't want to be an old overworked man. 

You can use the things you don't like to drive you toward greater progress. 

There's been a conversation with a girl that I've been enjoying too. She's a pretty little thing. I've found in her a quantum of solace. 

These are little things that give one hope. 

I think she thinks I work too hard though. If that's the case, I need to engineer my life to work less hard. Girls are all the same and there's an advantage in that. They're like cockroaches. If you find one of a species, there's more of it elsewhere. 

But speaking of cockroaches, and maybe life's giving me little clues, I saw a really beautiful cockroach species the other day. Maybe it was a message from the other side that I'd meet this girl. 

Although I realize that's slightly manic talk, I also slightly believe it.
