bookmania: “Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, ‘What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?’ Instead, they demand: ‘How old is he? How many brothersContinue reading

Football, War, Violence and Troubled Youth
When a community has a problem with violent, troubled youth why do they typically put them into a form of structured violence that just propitiates the problem…and more importantly why does it typically work? This isn’t meant to be a football bashing, it might end up being that, however.

For those who are praying people, good-vibe senders, or just those wonderful Native American Soul Dancers you can send some thoughts my way on SeptemberContinue reading “Death to Igor!”
The Trinity
Being captured in a moment in which you see yourself from the outside, the world makes sense, and you get why you are finally where you are supposed to be in that moment. This is what most good music does to me. I don’t classify good by the type or really even the talent…but musicContinue reading “The Trinity”

How much can you slap someone through the window of a moving car? How much was everyone ganging up on her? That’s bullshit. That’s bullshit. She never got a fair shake.
North to Maine: Journaling Bear Behind
northtomaine: Notes from conversations with Bear Behind that I felt resonant enough to record in my journal: “Find insatiable curiosity, obsession, intense interest. Find it in your life and work backwards from it, relish it, nourish it, give thanks for it, and let it take you to unknown territory.” “If you… North to Maine: JournalingContinue reading “North to Maine: Journaling Bear Behind”
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. Rene Descartes (via passionsofthesoul)
For the first time in my life I have completely filled a journal. This one is covered in leather and was a gift from Italy. The first and last entries were written at a monastery; it’s been a good journal. (Taken with instagram)
