The final sin in the universe is to close your eyes.

It is amazing to me to see the beautiful tree that can arise when the root of all evil is cultivated with passion, intent, and humility.

It is not faith that moves mountains. It’s envy and greed and lust. Once you become the bait for that which others desire, once you actually become that which others want for themselves, then you have the power to change them in ways they never thought imaginable. Babies, for instance. Have you ever really thought about how much power is held by a seemingly helpless, innocent little child?

Family is not always the blood that runs through your veins but the emotional connection that can attach across whole continents … or merely across town.

I AM gainfully employed full-time. I AM raising a challenged 11 year old child as a single father full-time. I AM in school full-time. I AM in a real, healthy and meaningful relationship full-time. I AM successful in my life as a whole.
What the hell is YOUR excuse?

Really. Just go pick up a crayon. Yes. Right now. Any color will do. Now, on the wall in front of you, write the words ‘MY LIFE NOW IS MY FUTURE-NOW’ in about two inch block letters. Don’t worry. You can clean it off later. But tell me that doesn’t change your perspective just a bit on the rest of your life.

I figure most people actually use a horoscope to validate their life choices rather than the other way around. Weird. I don’t think that’s useful except for the most superficial of changes that won’t lead to any real progress.

There is no greater validation of your love for me than to see my smile reflected in your eyes.

Sometimes we need the rain to wash the past away, sometimes to beat down intensely over bodies making love, sometimes merely for a dark brooding. But there comes a time when the Sun must shine and the dance of fresh air surrounding Life demands that we embrace our joy.

I would have sacrificed everything to find the smallest measure of happiness. When happiness found me, it asked for no sacrifice. And that made me happiest of all.

The next time someone says (seriously rather than in a merely jesting manner) “your crazy is showing through” and “you need to be on meds,” just know that most likely they are more than a little jealous of your ability to live in a much fuller manner than they have found so far. It’s okay. Really. It doesn’t take a genius to find passion in life. But it takes an awfully stupid person to remain in mediocrity when the door to opportunity and creativity is thrown wide open and they stand there with a thumb up their ass while humming with their eyes closed.

Act like a duck, quack like a duck, tread water like a duck, and surround yourself with other ducks, guess what? No matter how much I might want to believe you’re a swan, I observe nothing more than a mere duck (until further evidence to the contrary appears, of course). Plain and simple.

I wonder when false people will be real and real people stop validating their excuses. That’s the philosophically exaggerated manner of suggesting that I’m an idiot for believing in those who can’t face life without some kind of lie in tow. Will I ever learn?

It is those most comfortable in their self-induced illusions that are most upset when those illusions are confronted and challenged.
