Ah, the tangled webs the brain weasels weave… My wife and I were having a conversation the other day, talking about another conversation that I’d had with a third party. The conversation ended thus: Me to her, “Thank you for being the only one who believes in me. I’m glad somebody does.” Her to me, “Since you don’t believe in yourself?” Me to her, “Hence why I said what I said.” This has been an
This is apparent when you take a closer look at it. Most of the insanity of the world today is happening, I believe, due to a lack of imagination. When your so-called leaders are hyper-focused on fleeting power, money, and trying to return to values that never were, this is apparent. Why?

Only via action can the idea become a reality. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a movie cracked open my imagination like an egg. With that, the huge window in my living room became the viewport out the helm of my starship, my favorite swing on the swingset a starfighter, and I ran around with toy laser pistols pew-pewing at make-believe aliens, monsters, and the like. Not long after my imagination
Chaos and art go hand in hand. Unless you live under a rock, in a cave somewhere, or are otherwise utterly disconnected from the world (and since you’re reading this, I know that you’re not) you’re aware of how chaotic it all is. Between the current US Administration being utterly backward and misguided, wars around the globe, economic upheavals, and more, it feels like order is out to lunch. It feels, at least to me,
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
