Go All The Way
“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery–isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.”
– Charles Bukowski, Factotum
Whatever it Takes.

You need a safe harbor
But you’re being warned that it’s not here…
You need a safe harbor
But you’re being warned that it’s not here
Our dreams were spoken way too soon
Now there’s nothing left and no more room
For all our promises and words which meant nothing anyways
Merely deceitful delusions for wasting away our days
Eternity and Hope – Nope!
Can’t be worthy of what we could be
When ego throws precious treasure overboard at sea
When romance fades and her water proves much too shallow
God’s lighthouse beams it’s bright warning lights to you
Don’t crash upon her shore
Don’t dare love her any more

I’m Ready For What’s Next
{“3 More Days…” – Autobiography, TBC}
I’m ready for what’s next!
I’m ready… to take it to the streets
…I’m ready for the shuffle, ready for the deal, ready to let go of the steering wheel…
I’m ready…
…I’m just down the line from your love… under the sign for your love…
I’m gonna make it on time

How are you -really- doing today?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4oInT79CUk
However you show up today, the world can take it.
Today, some of us can’t sleep.
Tomorrow some of us will walk this earth with less energy in our bones.
Yesterday some of us were cheated on by partners, and our hearts crack in our chests with each footstep we make.
Some of us are battling depression.
Some of us carry a weight that dares us to lift our feet and get out of bed in the morning. Our pride and shame make us afraid to tell others in case they think less of us.
Some of us are on horrendous diets in order to lose weight because we’re blinded by perfectionism and the scars of the cruel words others have said–words that sprung from empty hearts.
Forgive them, for they do not know you. They had no idea of the impact that these words had.
Some of us are broke.
Some of us are eating peanut butter and jam sandwiches on Wonder bread, waking up each day chained to scarcity and a fear of being homeless.
Some of us are grieving, staying up until 3am speaking words to someone who will never speak back, letting the transparency of salty tears stain our white sheets.
These people will walk beside you today.
They may smile.
When you ask them how they are, they may reply “good.”
Because we live in a society where we are afraid to be anything but “good.”
We are even afraid to tell this to those who love us when we are weak.

Born to Shine, Not to Fear!!
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
