when you begin to wonder.....
......................................................"what for?"....
for the umpteenth time


think about .....
Luis Alberto Urrea's thoughts on creativity and his writing


read the article...or listen to the audio from NPR:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103362391

If you are too lazy to click and look,
I feel this is the highlight.....

"I was in a small house in Cuernavaca with old healer women. We were eating green Jell-O. One of them told me this: "When you write, you light a bonfire in the spirit world. It is dark there. Lost souls wander alone. Your inner flame flares up. And the lost souls gather near your light and heat. And they see the next artist at work and go there. And they follow the fires until they find their ways home." (Urrea)

Reading Urrea's "this I believe" reinforced what I believe and have shared with others:

We have to just...Stop...sit still...observe... and absorb. Put that on your to-do list. Feel the surge of enlightenment. (Cardenas)

I'll continue to light bonfires......in every way I can.....drvodka

Lines

I am a line

A line I cross

A line I bend

I am a line

With no end

He is a line

A line he snorts

A line with

a dead end.

Abbreviations

I'm not use to seeing the abbreviation

"Dra."

before my name.

I'm use to the English abbreviation.

When I see

"Dra."

It makes me think ...."Dracula"

That's cool. I don't mind being ...."Dracula vodka"
versus dr.vodka ;)

Differences

Instropection

and

Implosion

are

different

things.....


We can look inward
Energy can be directed inward
and
It doesn't have to destroy us.

Cancer

"Aftermath of a New Diagnosis"


I hate the thought

of her

being alone


How was it missed?

Perhaps because

she

had been

alone


for too long.........


I don't want

her

to feel

alone......

Philosophy

"No need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies.
My brain & my heart are my temples;
my philosophy is kindness"
