A gaggle of many paradox's and ecclecticities.
Multi Fasceted , yet rock steady. A chameleon ,an anomaly,a mystery . Advocate,loyal friend ,a gregarious hermit,compassionate misanthrope,humanitarian nihilist and a host of other understandable misunderstoods. provacateur of living and participating.I gravitate towards those who are ragged , torn frayed and worn around the edges of the soul and keep swimming toward the light.
To shine in and out of perfection from the reflection from shards of glass which trace pathways around the wounds. Preserver of Mystery,dissolver of illusion.Tweaking knobs,transforming circumstance, removing fingerprints of generational toil,recognising the blueprints and torking the "mistakes".Propaganda abounds. Seduction has it's place,knowing where the backdoor is and what your true costume is is of utmost importance.The Wings of Truth will Fly .....Or else, sit n spin.
********************************************
Everything I have I was born with and fought like hell to reclaim.I do what I do because it is necessary.My Artistic pursuits are not a hobby , but are essential to my sticking around this place. Humility,Truth ,Honesty ,Strength ,compassion and Imagination are my vanguard's. I do not create and perform for ego trippin , I do it because it is bread and water for me.Life is a struggle, Life is a gift. As above , So below.
Celebrate the past and craft something new.
I believe I'll dust my broom...

and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so
full of doubts",The most beautiful experience we can have is the Mysterious.It is the fundamental emotion which stand's at the cradle of true Art and true Science.Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder,no longer marvel,is as good as dead and his eye's dimmed."Albert Einstein***************************************************W

I'd like to meet:
Most of them are dead but otherwise ....An Honest Man.An Honest Woman.Those who will take charge of their own truth , and tell it straight .Those willing to grab the torch of life and hold it high and with care .Those who take care of their garbage , don't project their illusions and fantasies on others and expect them to eat the poison.
The antidote to patterns ,pain , deception , and those who do not candy coat their uncertainties and expect me to eat it.
Gimme salt , lemon juice iodine .Pour it straight into the source of navigation .People who follow their hearts , if they can distinguish between the true heart and projection of myth.
Do not burn the wings of angels out of fear.Balls ,Muscle , Strength , the Dark , the Light and the meeting place between .Get Real or get out of my way.
