periwinkle magic.......travelers gold.......
you can see in this wondrous kind of sky , if you look carefully, a myriad of messages in its periwinkle 'ness'.....
for example......
this morning, i looked up at the glorious, spring, pre-Passover sky.....i did.....
lo and behold!!!............two angels were dancing a jig!!!
kickin up their heels.......
celebrating the re birthing time of humans........
perhaps....im not sure!.....perhaps its the springtime for angels as well!!!
cause those little cherubs were certainly celebrating something!!
ive heard tell that as youre leaving home for uncharted territories, those little guys have been known to sprinkle GOLD stardust inside actual suitcases!!!
i am not making this up!!!
LOOK CAREFULLY!!!
all is not what it seems to be!!!
sweet, lovely people downtown are carving up parfait deserts.....
chocolate and cream 'justice' parfaits.....
IVE SEEN THEM!!!!
and the sweet, delicious treats are filled to the brim with MAGIC......
and if you eat them methodically, and enjoy every yummy morsel........the unleavened bread will turn into manna before your eyes!!!
and of course, duhhh......
the manna can taste like ANYTHING you desire!!!!
and so it follows, my loves, that YOU can have absolutely ANYTHING that you desire!!!!!
just find the 'passover justice parfait', and eat heartily........
albeit 'judiciously'!!
and im willing to best my last 'shekel'!......that youll find gold 'fairy dust' at the bottom of the glass!!!!
magic can happen........just look for the signs!!

the ELEPHANT in the room.....
hes translucent, really........
potentially invisible to the naked eye......
but MAKE NO MISTAKE......HE IS RIGHT THERE!!
we cannot deny his existence, although we will try in perpetuity to eradicate him from the room.......
the room exists inside the cavity of our collective 'hearts'......
who is this mysterious pachyderm??
what does he want, for gods sake???!!
the truth is, my fellow owners of elephants in the room.....
the truth is that we have not collected enough karma credits yet, so as to eradicate the baggage of yore......
the 'collective baggage'......
not so simple a task, i promise you!!
certainly, we can go out and give twenty bucks to an indigent....
we can help out a friend in need.....blah.blah.....
but that 'karmic' layer cake.......
IMPOSSIBLE to gulp it down in one fall swoop!!
after all, there exist 'layers' upon 'layers' of mushy, chocolaty stuff to unearth........
in point of fact, i think that theres an ELEPHANT INSIDE THE PASSOVER LAYER CAKE!!!
shocking!!!! but oh so blatant in its invisibility........
is the cake made of matzoh meal???

BLOWING.....BLOWING........

rhapsodic....
seemingly random situations later become 'works of genius'......
trials and tribulations in ones life somehow transmute to
'power points' on a resume.....
what we see is decidedly NOT what we get!
but in retrospect, it becomes very very clear that these viewed moments were never actually meant to be 'gotten'......
and so it goes.......
your most sparkling and opulent 'silver' service is really only 'silver plate'.....
those pettipoints from the 'old country'.....they are trashed in someones garage......meaningless......
but there is a vacuous space in your heart when you remember them......
things that you once perceived as personal 'betrayal' now seem to really have nothing to do with you at all!
and Tahiti.......that secret , blue place......
they DO , in point of fact, have passover matzoh there!!!
A MIRACLE!!!!
YOU CAN GO!!!!! YOU WILL GO, by god!!!!
and what of the tarantulas there??
will the canopied netting over the bed be enough to ward off those crazy creatures???
a tarantula bite would not be a fair or just 'afikomen' trade......
hmm.....

junglicious!!!
the salt to her pepper.......
her veritable left shoe,the one that allows her to wear her favorite pair of
leather moccasins out on the town!!
"i wonder", said the personal shopper, "whether i can find a moccasin with a platform sole!".....
she needs, after all, to be in familiar territory, whilst she makes her way 'down under'....
the kangaroo will pick her up at the train station......
he has solemnly sworn to do so......
hmm.....
she wonders whether they will be serving up those 'Hebrew National' treats in the jungles of middle earth.....
the ones with the extreme amounts of nitrates!!
after all......she knows that the fairies love to feast on their salty
and delectable sandwiches!!
this is a known phenomenon......obviously!
the kangeroo will be wearing a skullcap!!!
and a prayer shawl!!
all is not lost after all!!!
we must keep hope alive!!!

sticks and stones........
trying sooo hard.......sooo hard.....
to reach for a slice of the 'key lime' pie.....
silly, green, envy monsters......
wracked with edge......oozing liquid from every pore.....
yucky, sleazy, lumpy liquid.........glopping......like syrup onto the
short stack of pancakes.....served up on those deep, silver platters......
they call and call and carry on so!!
and in the existential field of dreams......it doesnt much matter anyway........
and so, we plod onward toward the finish line.......
ever onward.....
thwarting the competitors feeble attempts at the brass ring......
revelling in our own vivacious tenacity.......
fine and dandy......we ARE!!!
of that there can be no denying!!!
thankfully.....gratefully.......contentedly.......
a daffodil amidst thorns and debrit.......

so out of the BLUE.......
comes a fairy.......with wings........
a delectable, fantabulous 'peter pan' boy!!
and he understands EVERYTHING YOU SAY!!!!!
shocking ///////SHOCKING!!!!!!
and he lives wayyyy wayyyy down under.......
and peters wings........theyve been momentarily clipped, it seems.........
but not to worry....fairy princess!!!
the light of redemption will shine its warmth and regenerative
energies upon him!!!
and all will be as it should be in our exsistential realm!!!
no doubt......pricessa!!

what if??.........
release, mind you......NOT gifted it!
so it seems, wed suddenly be creatures walking around the planet without that 'anger genetic'......
so the world would become, i suppose, one big, fluffy, pink cotton ball of laughter(not at anyones expense!), generous donations, walking very old people with walkers across busy intersections...etc....
would we cease to be interesting, intriguing,sexy?
would our heads have little halos surrounding them??
would there be no more road rage??
would 'patience' be a byproduct of the new and improved world??
so....it follows......
that we would have no real conflict to deal with.......
what a peculiar and thought provoking concept!!
could we retain our 'capitalist' viewpoint ?
after all......communism would not befit our goals!! (i think!)
theres something kinda disturbing about this vision.....
is it really the goal??
or is the human condition wracked with melodrama and conflict to test us in some way??
and who exactly is issuing this test??
addmittedly, theres something disturbing about what im proposing......
disconcerting, rather......
bottom line.........
ITS NOT HAPPENING......
dont worry......
your unresolved anger is SAFE with me!!!
we are not STEPFORD citizens, after all.........
all good!!

profundities abound.......
Wednesday, March 4, 2009
ideas permeating the air space....
they ARE PRESENT....
of that , my friends, i am quite certain......
the ideas are differentiated by details like.....
their color, shape, ethereal quality.......
their density.........their ability to multiply......
their sound........YES.......ideas.....good ones!!.......they actually whisper in your ear!!!
one has to listen verrrry closely!!
having said that, i guess the GREAT ideas SCREAM AT YOU!!!
in fact, youd be making kind of a huge mistake NOT to listen!!
even further.......youd have to GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!! so as NOT to hear your own brilliant, ground-breaking ideas!!
youd be essentially tripping over your own feet.........
therein lyeth the dilemma of the industrious and creative individual......
FORGIVNESS.....
a concept with considerable implication....
can we readily forgive??
can we forgive fully?
is it actually 'ourselves' we need to forgive?
we create situations......
fantastic, ridiculous, 'out of the box' situations....
and we suddenly wake up one morning, only to realize, as if punched in the stomach, that our little 'situation' has grown into a full blown melodrama!!
and the staggering reality of this mess is that theres simply no turning back.....
whats done is done.....
no room for regret, remorse......
only space and platform for forgiveness.......
for upward movement.....for ascension.....illumined, angelic,
violet transmutation......
and so we ask to become beacons of light, from which to radiate that channelled kind of 'forgivness'......
and we literally remove the chips that are etched into our shoulders.....
unburdening our poor backs from the enormity of the veritable
'sack of rocks and bricks' weve been toting around with us.....
and suddenly......lo and behold!.....
we shape shift from the pack mules weve become......
to light, floating, untethered entities......
at which point, we can fly!!
and so it goes, my friends.......
