I love gadgets.
I have always wanted an Apple Watch ( and recently a Ticwatch E).
Me, me, me, I, I,I,want, want, want,
I’ve watched so many YouTube vids, and ads from Apple and Google, but I am saying no.
My life is staying lean.
I flee the consumer scene.
My writing is first and foremost in my mind.
My health is still running a good maintenance program.
I work hard everyday.
I have a need for speed.
Still struggling with desire.
An extra ordinary American.
Over a century has passed, yet his work is still read like contemporary writings.
“The Cask Of Amontillado”, ‘In pace re quiescat!’
A complex man at best, but one who wrestled with being an authentic American Writer.
Think about what you want to write a poem with in this session.
Your answer is ‘mindful’.
I am being mindful.
How does it feel or what is different after repeating the affirmation a few times?
Let yourself pause to collect any awareness.
This session will only take 5 minutes, but if you like you can continue after you are done.
Do you feel or what is different after repeating the affirmation a few times?
I have been meditating for at least a few years and I always feel more relaxed after a mindfulness meditation like this one.
I also believe being mindful about my writing is just the right way to write.
Master SF writer is being remembered and respected for the work he did over his lifetime.
Many believe his character reflected his own ‘angry young man’.
If so, perhaps the torch will be passed to another in society to befriend that segment of the population.
He wrote about diverse subject matter and never tired from using his talents in screen writing and articles.
A great work that will continue to be read and watched by many.
Reading the page, the text suddenly is lifting off the page.
I can see the image of the text displayed in front of me.
There is no reality, only our imagination, it arranges our thoughts into some kind of text image?
But how can I accept this ‘image nation’?
There must be some truth and beauty.
I am not a body and a mind.
What am I?
I see myself resolving into a bright light.
It turned off.
I am remembering a movie from my childhood.
It is called the “Fantastic Voyage”.
Instead of seeing the inside of my body, I am envisioning a surrreal dream.
I can hear myself, I feel warm, I am in warm coffee.
It sure as shit smells like coffee.
I can see light way up, maybe a thousand feet.
I am going to try and swim over to find the shore.
There seems to be an edge or barrier. I can’t make anything out.
Shit, I know what this is, I am starting to wake up. I am having a lucid dream.
Are you listening to me!
There is a revolution.
People are making political, ideological and societal movements.
Why?
People are rightly concerned about voting, work, wages, equal pay, property, marriage, maternity, social integration,rape,sexual harassment,domestic violence.
Listen and learn: humanity has a lot to learn from groups of people.
“Me Too Movement ” is another group that is revolutionary.
Perhaps, the means and methods for change in society will take its toll on a few, so that the many can live together in a better way.
Sometimes change is a pain in the ass.
Often we are kinda set up, we feel overwhelmed and our attitude sucks, we believe we are ‘over worked and under paid’.
There are moments when our awareness let’s us know we are stressed out.
When we feel depressed and stressed, change can become an insult.
So to reframe the problem, we are stressed and depressed and the insult of change just made us aware of it.
Damage control or triage may allow us a short term fix. We may manage the change.
But reality tells us to work out the rest of the problem…
So if we are just feeling depressed and stressed we can do what we always do: rest and relax, get on with the rest of our day.
We may chat it out with friends and relatives or write it out in a journal, do our exercises or work out, play with our hobbies. finish our chores and other responsibilities. Hit the shower and get a good night of sleep.
If your version is more like TV and beer we may have a bigger problem.
The idea is to find out our problem and start to work it out and try not to make it worse.
But we may have to make it worse if we are still stuck or unaware how bad a problem we really have.
No matter how far along the continuum of change you find us, remember we are all on the same path.
Some of us have not met with clinical depression or harmful stress, but wait for it.
We all have a chance to meet them along the path.
Life is the challenge and it is full of change.
Good luck with both!
A space or box to play and work to tell or show my message.
And a kind of breath or spirit that directs or leads me to learn what I tell or show.
Or is it a connection between you and me?
Who is the audience?
Stop showing and telling them anything.
Let the unconscious speak, record what it says.
Bring meaning to life from the truth you see.
Here I am.
Listen to me.
Please leave out the affirmation.
Let me inspire you to write out what you see.
Is it important, funny, cute, amazing, current, meaningful or not.
I will make you a tale or yarn to tell.
All you have to do is read and write, be creative and tell your truth.
Who are you?
Do you have a goal or a plan?
Maybe, you ‘like’ or want to do something with meaning or purpose.
Learn what you can learn, do what you can do, practice,practice,practice.
Do no harm and try to be kind and honest.
You belong, you were born and are part of this place and these people.
What have you to say?
Living on the edge and finding ideas that work is what I do.
How about you?
Making cities grow out of chaos into livable safe places is what I do.
Are you joining in on this superb problem solving adventure?
Biologically I need to create.
I am open, intelligent and an innovative inventor
You must want to paint your room another color: no plainness.
What about making over the whole city into a work of art.
I know you do it too.
It is next to impossible to thrive economically as a starving artist.
What will you do?
Do what I do.
I will not give up my dream because some fool tells me to stop.
Living outside the box is hard to do.
