But my technique that I recommend to you is don’t believe anything. If you believe in something you are automatically precluded from believing its opposite. Therefore you have given up a portion of your freedom and freedom is the dearest thing we’ve got. You don’t have to believe anything. You can just provisionally work your way through stuff. -Terence Mckenna
Your Boobies' Names Are: Cheech and Chong

Get your own Boobie Names

My Interests

there's no salvation elsewhere;
forget the horizon, the seductive sky.
if nothing's here, nothing's there.

i know. once i escaped to tangier ,
took the same face, the same lie.
there's no salvation in elsewhere

when elsewhere has empty rooms, mirrors.
everywhere: the capital I.
if nothing's here, nothing's there

unless, of course, your motive's secure;
not therapy, but joy,
salvation an idea left behind, elsewhere,

like overweight baggage or yesteryear.
the fundamental things apply.
if nothing's here, nothing's there -

i brought with me my own imperfect air.
the streets were noise. the heart dry.
there was no salvation elsewhere.
i came with nothing, found nothing there.

This is It

and You are It
and so is That
and He is It
and She is It
and It is It
and That is That - james broughton

and what are two thousand years? (asked mr. ramsay ironically, staring at the hedge). what indeed, if you look from a mountain top down the long wastes of the ages? the very stone ones kicks with one's boot will outlast shakespeare.

it was love, she thought, pretending to move her canvas, distilled and filtered; love that never attempted to clutch its object; but, like the love which mathematicians bear their symbols, or poets their phrases, was meant to be spread over the world and become part of the human gain.
