I can’t literally do that though and that fact irks me especially after a day like today.
I am only able [...]

Have you ever tried to work out the way you think.

I think about this person saying these things to another person.
“She is fabulous!
She is an artist”
“Oh really
tell me more”
Tonight it dawned on me. It rose up beyond the clouds into perception;
into reality.
I think about people and what they think of me
much of the time.
Is that,
what I am thinking?
No.
I think about those people saying things to [...]

I will be ripening until late summer. You can come and pick me on September 1st.

Blasted! How does one begin a post such as this?
Well, you begin by saying “I will return on September 01, 2007 to write and create on this Blog.”

The Secret to Distilling Fog

Fog surrounds every fiber of Saint John this night. The city is quiet. Only the street lights are visible a block away. I look out the deck doors to the trees illuminated by one particular street light; they say nothing yet tell me so much.
I was born and raised here. My mind was elsewhere. It [...]

How to begin

…by saying that these days are crystal clear and in a semi-holding patterns. Faces are ingrained to memory as is the place, apartment and it’s things. What would you keep? What would you sell? I sold my desk. It stood first and was purchased 3 days ago. IKEA has decent resale value in Vancouver. Something [...]

7 Urgent Things

Today’s urgencies often mean nothing tomorrow.
(an emergency or a screaming hype might not be important in the long run)

Belonging is akin to feeling held, feeling at peace with whom one is, just as one is.
Exhaustion stems from the urgency to be. Is this similar to traffic?
Twisting onwards, upwards the drain yield beginning.
Half of everything [...]

Goals for the Lovely Month of May with Moon

Learn to manage time effectively.
During the month of May
I go to be tested for
ADHD -eh.
On a waiting list for 18 months.
This is a long time.
I got the call:
“Ahhhhhh really…

About learning to take things seriously when needed and hapazardly when things are not that important

Switching on intelligence is at most difficult when one is faced with making life’s decisions. Being ruled by the heart can be whimsical at times yet underrated as a form of intelligence most of the time. Written in anger, not really. We need to believe there is something larger than ourselves to exist. You are [...]

I ate some muesli last night with chocolate milk

I hadn’t tried that combination before. I ate three meals yesterday.
When the day began I woke at 11:00AM, threw some clothes on and bussed it over to the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver to meet with a client. The night before my roommate finished moving her things out by 11:00PM. I am sad she had [...]

God made dirt so dirt wont hurt

Someone said this to me once as he was picking up a piece of food from the ground, he had but dropped a moment earlier. I had to laugh. I laughed.
God made dirt, so dirt won’t hurt.

Trust Each Moment as it is – a year coming into focus

This year I will thrive to trust each moment as it is. This image is one I play with often. Walking is in our nature. Our footprints are our past. The future is every step one takes. The present is in choice.

He and I ran so far away

Ever get the urge to begin again? These urges tend to arrive unbidden. The urges could make you smile. They possibly are relevant and more real than once you perceived them to be. Do you run away? Or do you bunker down for the long term and take a stance for what you believe in? [...]

LUCIDITY – full feature

I have let go of the chapters.

This film accurately portrays the daily non-trust of myself. Three months ago I wanted to release this movie. Self fear and loathing took over. A relapse of a different kind ensued, that of self denial and anxiety.
This movie was filmed and completed as of December 2004. When I opened [...]
