I experiment with and without form. I try to let the idea write itself.

Conditioned Existences of Realized Beings
Buddha was the teacher;
Jesus, the martyr.
The difference: The amount of effort their societies put into killing them.

The things we need to do
These are the things we need to do in America:
Stop working for and buying from evil- this will take what some might call sacrifice, but we might call responsibility. Affecting bank accounts and profits is the only way to change some minds.
Start working for, buying from, and otherwise contributing to your community in as many ways as you can: volunteer, donate, bake and give locally and directly. Remove government, beaurocrocy and waste from what you give to and take from others.
Violence might help the process, but cannot stabilize us afterwards.

The antifederalist papers
Now,
more than ever,
we need local Soulutions
to overcome our national problems.

Assumptions in the Information Age.
Yes,
judge my cover,
but first,
read my book.

The wrath of good
I needed to gain experience
before I could act like I knew anything,
so, now, be on the lookout
for the wrath of good.

Physics
I have been a black hole of bad news for others, lately,
so that must just be what I am,
and I can hold it,
unmold it,
transform it into radiation
so intense you can't even see it,
but that takes process,
and process looks like time,
so time is what I take for myself
when I need to be a black hole.

Conflagration
I am only the wood,
and you are everything else.
You are the air that feeds the fire and the wind that stokes it.
You are the combustion, the opening and the process that unites the air and wood.
You are the light and the heat.
You are the Agni, the disintegrator, transforming just wood into the divine.
We are a conflagration...How warm can we be?
and you are everything else.
You are the air that feeds the fire and the wind that stokes it.
You are the combustion, the opening and the process that unites the air and wood.
You are the light and the heat.
You are the Agni, the disintegrator, transforming just wood into the divine.
We are a conflagration...How warm can we be?

Proton positivity

centralize me,

Namaste
It is revealing,
and not at all surprising to me,
that women in America
adopted and adapted
Yogic practices
much more quickly
than American men.

Our Frankenstein Moment
THIS
is our Frankenstein moment -
when we will activate actualized A.I.,
our creation.
Good thing for us we still have time
to prevent it from becoming an abomination.
