Thanks to them, from whom the painful blessings flow, we are waking up. Their wars and tortures, their crimes against...

Through some magic you don’t fully understand, you’re still breathing and your heart is beating, even though you’ve been unconscious for many hours.

Totally Crazy

Reading at Koloa 06/09/2011 I kick my own ass and wash my own brain. I push my own buttons and trick my own pain. I burn my own flags and roast my own heroes. I mock my own fears and cheer my own zeroes. Nothing can stop me from teasing my shadow. I’m full of empty and backwards bravado. My wounds are tattoos that reveal my true beauty. I turn tragic to magic and make bliss my duty. I honor...

We ARE Waking Up…

Reading from Koloa practice 11/01/2010 We are waking up. As heaven and earth come together, as the dream-time and daytime merge, we register the shockingly exhilarating fact that we are in charge of creating a New Earth. Not in some distant time or faraway place, but right here and right now.. …. overthrowing the living dead is not enough. Protesting the well-dressed monsters is not enough....

A Space to Commit Pronoia

Reading at Koloa 05/11/09 Willing to experience aloneness, I discover connection everywhere; Turning to face my fear, I meet the warrior who lives within; Opening to my loss, I am given unimaginable gifts; Surrendering into emptiness, I find fullness without end. Each condition I flee from pursues me. Each condition I welcome transforms me And becomes itself transformed Into its radiant...
