No Artist is Pleased
Reading at Waimea practice 01/07/2012 There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine How good it is Nor how valuable it is; Nor how...
Read MoreTired of Speaking Sweetly
Reading at Waimea practice 12/03/2011 Love wants to reach out and manhandle us, Break all our teacup talk of God. If you had the courage and Could give the Beloved His choice, some nights, He would just drag you around the room By your hair, Ripping from your grip all those toys in the world That bring you no joy. Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly And wants to rip to shreds All your...

Reading at Anara practice 11/30/20/2011 “When you’re an aspiring master of pronoia, you see the cracks in the facades as opportunities; inspiration erupts as you careen over bumps in the road: you love the enticing magic that flows from situations that other people regard as rough or crooked “That which is not slightly distorted lacks sensible appeal,” wrote poet Charles...
Read MoreJust When I Doubted…
Reading at Anara Spa -11/17/2011 Passion's Core by Linaji Just when I doubted myself, Just when I ’bout gave up A light shone thru. Scathes my lack of intention Attacks my dullard fears Presses me on And pulls the reigns of attention Back from unconscious years. Un-zips my eyes Sore from looking the other way Unfurls my feelings And they sing out a chorus of Doris Day. Ohhh I...
Read MoreI, Me Wed….
Reading at Koloa and Ambrosia Dome practices 11/7/2011 Mirror Kiss …There’s another kind of holy matrimony we should make room for: one that climaxes not with the oath, “With this ring, I thee wed,” but rather, “With this ring, I me wed.” We need a ritual for getting married to oneself. Is that something you’re interested in? Do you have the nerve to go...
Read MoreOn Birthdays and….
Reading at Koloa practice 10/31/2011… When you don’t believe in birthdays, the idea of aging turns a little foreign to you. You don’t fall into trauma over your sixteenth birthday or your thirtieth or the big Five-Oh or the deadly Century. You measure your life by what you learn, not by counting how many calendars you’ve seen. If you’re going to have trauma,...

Read MoreFor a Dancer
Reading at Waimea practice 10/1/2011 Keep fire burning in your eye Pay attention to the open sky You never know what will be coming down I don’t remember losing track of you You were always dancing in and out of view I must have thought you’d always be around Always keeping things real by playing the clown Now you’re nowhere to be found I don’t know what happens when...
Read MoreForgotten Family
The Secret Life of Red by Linaji Reading at Koloa Practice 8/11/2011 As I descend into basement shadows, I am washed in red. Smoothness is not a choice on the earthly plane. As light reveals, so also shadows are spawned. With this I must learn to rock my ignorance to sleep to await its hungry cry. I must feed my insincerity its milky gruel. I must give my meanness rapt attention. I must dine...
Read MoreLet Go
Reading at Waimea 05/21/2011 Let go of that which is gone. Let go of that which is lost. Let go of that which is not yet happening. What has happened in the past and what will happen in the future exist only in your mind. What is happening now is the infinite caress of the universe. To touch the eternal now and let it enfold you in its infinite Love is the essence of being in love. What is...
