Just as the dawn is the forerunner, the vanguard of the rising sun, so too, possession of virtue is the forerunner, the vanguard of the rising of the Noble Eightfold Path. - Buddha

Burning Virgin Man 2008

The last few days have been a whirl wind of activity. All bags are packed. The bikes are stored and all our water/food stuff has been measured and sorted for our trip into the desert. Dog-child, Music, has a puppy sitter for the days that I won't be able to see after and care for her!

My emotions are a mixture of over-whelming excitement, anticipation and anxiousness.

This will be my first Burning Man and I am a virgin to the seven day official event. For me it will be a little longer than seven days as we (Geoffrey, Larry and I) are leaving two days before the actual start.

Although this is my first time going I am filled with an almost deja' vu like feeling.

Maybe because this is where I am supposed to be in my life. These are the moments I am supposed to be living. This is the time I am supposed to be living.

I'm looking forward to the trip as I've not been away in a very long time. Being a building manager has not allowed for much time away from my former property.

Now that I don't work for BPM anymore I've found a lot more free time on my hand.

So, I've decided to spend the next two months while I prep for school trying to travel as much as possible.

This will be but the first of many travels outside of SF.

Stay tuned!!

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. - Buddha

Artist seeking a true Artist/Muse relationship. The Muse must be comfy pushing the bounds of artistic expression. Artistic, adventurus, risk taking females only!!!!!!!!!!!

Age range for Muse is 18-40 and a photo Id will be required. This is not a sex ad. Artistic expression is the only goal. Most platforms considered. Photo, digital, video and audio art. As well as painting and silk screening.

Let's turn the art world on it's head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winds of Change

The winds of change will shove you down if not accepted. I see this and harness it for great change. I am moving forward unscathed and only better.

More shall be explained in the next few days when I start to write more about what has been happening the last days, weeks and months in my realm.

Until then I wish everyone peace and clarity in their realms.

It's time for the greatness to spring forth from me.

I am ready!

Buddhist Thought

The practice of meditation is represented by the three monkeys, who cover their eyes, ears and mouths so as to avoid the phenomenal world. The practice of non-meditation is ceasing to be the see-er, hearer or speaker while eyes, ears and mouths are fulfilling their function in daily life. Open Secret by Wei Wu Wei

Happy 4th of July

Buddhist Thought

Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth.
- Sutta Nipata

Buddhist Thought of the Week

So is it possible to see the limitations of thought and give it its right place, and therefore giving the right place to thought brings about clarity - right? We mean by right place - the art of that intelligence which comes through investigation, through exploration, that art - the very meaning of that word is to put everything where it belongs, put everything in our life where it belongs, and to find out where it belongs you need tremendous intelligence. - J. Krishnamurt

In this world the wise one holds onto confidence and wisdom. Those are the greatest treasures; all other riches are pushed aside. - Buddha

Welcome to Fog City

The skies over SF are gray and fog rolls in over the hills. It's a romantic and sexy time in my City.

Currently sitting here procrastinating and spending a few minutes working on this post, watching tv and preparing to go to work. Oh, and I'm making a song. I should be doing some stuff for my building but here I am. Sitting here naked and wasting time.

This morning Music and I went for a jog about the hood. Then we slept most the afternoon away.

Well, I guess I should get going over to Matthew's.

Feeling a bit stiff in me lower back but I guess I'll survive.


Peace Y'all!!!

Buddhist thought for the Week

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. - Buddha

If it's not one thing it's another.

I've hurt my damn back once again. The funny thing is I don't have even have an interesting story to tell how it became injured. I was hurt while I was asleep and I woke up to it aching badly.

Sigh...If it's not one thing it's another.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day for the Democrats. Looking forward here to seeing Sen. Obama finally acknowledged as the Democratic Presidential Nominee. It's been a long and tough road for both Hillary and Barak. It's time they both realize that they each other and will be better served helping one another.

Time will tell if they both can come to this conclusion.

Let us alla hope for the success of them both. Becasue I can't deal with a Republican in office.

I just can't! The thought just gives me a pain in the back!

Buddhist thought for the Week

He whose in-flowing thoughts are dried up, who is unattached to food, whose dwelling place is an empty and image-less release - the way of such a person is hard to follow, like the path of birds through the sky. - Buddha

Election Day, Obama, Marriage and a Prayer

After receiving over 20 pamphlets and a San Francisco Voters Guide, casting my own vote yesterday, today is a great day for politics in America and the World!!!!

Barack Obama triumphing over Hillary Clinton and the California Supreme Courts refusal to put same-sex marriages on hold triggered jubilation in my household yesterday and today!!

John, a old friend staying with me, Music *my Anatolian Wonder Shepard* and I have been bouncing around on Could Nine the last two and a half days!!!

The three of Us have been taking long walks, singing, listening to music, doing laundry, preforming studio and building upkeep, engaing in deeply interesting conversations, eating fresh fruit, doing hot sex and following my creative machinations.

It's been a good/great last few days!!

The weather is perfect here in San Freakcentercal with the current temperature at a perfect 65 degrees.

We shall have a new President in the White House soon.

Let's hope and work at making it Sen. Obama!!!

Blessings on my Country and the World!!

I'm proud to be an American and I pray we all continue to change, learn and grow together for the betterment of all creation and mankind!!

Peace & Love To Everything!

Amen.

Buddhist thought for the Week

To experience love, we must go inside. When you experience real love you get into a state which is beyond words. You are filled with a joy that goes beyond all emotions. True love is the love of the inner Self. - Swami Muktananda
