About Me

I could say that my goal has been to twine ideas and images into big subversive pretzels of life, death and goofiness, on the chance that they might help keep the world lively and give it the flexibility to endure.Some time ago, I reached the conclusion that we are in this existence to enlarge our souls, light up our brains and liberate our spirits. Pondering the role that language, imagination, humor, sexuality, risk, attitude, spirituality, and altered states of consciousness play in that process is what keeps the little feet running in my hamster cage.It's probably unnecessary to point this out, but I wish to make it clear that I'm neither a New Ager nor an Old Ager, neither a prophet nor a guru, but rather, just another glad fool on the left-handed path: dodging the ego, romancing the Mystery, spilling the wine, and, above all, celebrating language, that magical reticulum of words into which human reality is forever dissolving and from which it continually reemerges, having invented itself anew. The noun in the lotus. The jewel in the inkwell. Green dolphins leaping from a sink of dirty dishes.
Your happiness makes others happy. It heals the world, and makes it more joyous. It tips the scales towards greater happiness for all, and away from fear and destruction that other desperate souls are caught in. If they weren't so desperate, why then do they spend billions upon billions of dollars to convince you otherwise? Because they know the moment you surrender to your highest self is the moment you become totally free of them. They can no longer control you... you have won. So, what are you waiting for?DREAM, PRAY, HOPE, CELEBRATE, BE HAPPY! Believe in your happy dream reality... don't let it die. Follow your bliss, and the universe will take care of you. Because that is what the universe wants more than anything else, for you to be truly and deeply happy for all eternity.
