I am nothing. I am no one.

Don’t listen to my words for I am nothing. I am no one. An empty shell that should hold a man but instead holds emptiness. The Void. 

And don’t follow in my footsteps for I am lost. A fool with no sense of direction. I have no destination. I am moved by the wind. By distraction. 

No past. No future. The perfection of this moment. Hold on that and be free. If you can. To be aware in the moment is to know yourself. 

Goodbye. 

James Lee Jobe

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it. 

 

Dōgen Zenji

Line up the bullets like school children in line for lunch
in line to get on the bus for home
make sure each bullet is shiny enough to reflect the sunlight
say a prayer and bless the bullets
for surely a connection with death awaits them
talk to the bullets like a christian republican
speaking to a congregation
then load the weapons and move out
no one lives forever

Speak not because it is safe, but because it is right.

Those who are ill, may they be well.

Those are afraid, may they be well.

Those who are alone, may they be well.

Those without a home, may they be well.

Otis Redding - THAT'S HOW STRONG MY LOVE IS

When one gets quiet, then something wakes up inside one, something happy and quiet like the stars.

William Butler Yeats

Writers, actors, musicians, visual artists; we must counter the acts of political destruction with acts of creation.
