viyar elohim et-ha’ovr ki tov…
Viyar is usually translated as “saw.” God saw that the light was good. Viyar also means see-to- something. Like, see to it that our guests have enough food…
God created light, separated the light from the dark, then saw to it that the light was [...]
Step Towards Peace: 1
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Drink tea.
Drink coffee, drink milk, drink water, drink juice, drink viper blood. It doesn’t really matter. Drink something. Really drink something.
You have 24 hours tomorrow, that’s 1,440 minutes. I promise you that you can find 10 minutes in there to do nothing but sip, smell, taste, feel, swallow, and smile. It’s not that we don’t [...]
Violence is Suicide: (I’d rather stand in front of guns than behind the people holding them)
Thursday, December 17th, 2009No, I will not support the troops. Not by clicking that link, not by wearing a red shirt, not by joining your facebook group. In fact, I don’t support your troops at all.
I don’t care who they are. Even if they were my brother, my father, my grandfather, my cousin, [...]
Dislocated Spirits
Thursday, December 17th, 2009You are a fantastic worm, born in the middle of Jupiter. As you crawl out from one level of the core to the next, from metal layer to rock layer to ice layer to violent atmosphere… At each level you metamorphose into a new being more capable of passing through the medium at [...]
Love rymes with a hideous car wreck.
Saturday, December 5th, 2009Jesus blesses the little children. Society oppresses the little children.
Strife is coming.
Vayelech Avram. Abram WENT. He went not knowing where he was going. He went with reason to believe he’d never see his father again. He went ‘to the place that God will show him.’ He didn’t even know the destination. He went [...]
A Dream
Friday, October 30th, 2009My mother and I were sitting in a parking lot discussing my future. I was feeling pretty hopeless facing graduation soon with a BA in Philosophy and Religion and no idea what to do next. I was getting sarcastic and bitter towards myself, kinda frustrated that my [...]
I Like Mantras: Think. Everything is Beautiful
Friday, October 16th, 2009A dear friend of mine one day suggested I find a mantra. I had been trying to think of one for a while. Some ideas popped in my head but sounded forced, cold, not-accurate.
“There’s not a spot that God is not.”
“Let it be.”
Things like these blew around the caverns in my mind while [...]
I want to create
Sunday, September 20th, 2009I want to make,
to have,
to hold,
to shape,
to love,
to mold.
I want to give
and reach
and find.
I want to bend
and stand
and bind.
I want to be
and wait
and try.
I want to hope
and think
and die.
If we think we’ll ever grab it,
our delusions become habit.
Stepping further from the truth
casting off our precious youth.
Hm. That wasn’t nearly the end of the thought [...]
The Nonplanner
Thursday, September 17th, 2009I am conducting an experiment. It shall last exactly as long as it does. I have been trying half-assedly to be a non-planner for a while, but now I feel like really not planning.
I also feel like putting down a few thoughts that I suppose have become mantras for me. They mean [...]
Quotes, the first installment.
Monday, September 7th, 2009Perhaps I’ll upload quotes I like. I happened to speak this one and want other people to read it.
“Embracing and trusting the artist within it is one of the most worthwhile investments a human can make.”
