Where the rubber meets the road, Godwise

Sacred to Sarcastic
Reverent to Ridiculous
Holy to Smoke

"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world." -Octave Mirbeau

Being Here

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

Whenever a feeling of aversion comes into the heart of a good soul, it's not without significance. Consider that intuitive wisdom to be a Divine attribute, not a vain suspicion: the light of the heart has apprehended intuitively from the Universal Tablet.
- Rumi

The Boy in the Bubble

It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry
Don't cry

The Second Coming

W. B. Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Sweet lie!-Was I there truly? . . .
Let us believe it . . .
No, take it all for lies
I have but smelt this life, a wiff of it-
. . . And shall I claim;
Confuse my own phantastikon,
Or say the filmy shell
that circumscribes me
Contains the actual sun;
confuse the thing I see
With actual gods behind me?
Are they gods behind me?
How many worlds we have!
If Botticelli Brings her ashore
on that great cockle-shell-
His Venus (Simonetta?),
And Spring and Aufidus fill the air
With their clear outlined blossoms?
World enough.

-Ezra Pound
"That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned; that until there is no longer any first-class and second-class citizens of any nation; that until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all, without regard to race -- until that day, the dreams of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained." ~H.I.M. Haile Selassie I

"There is no sensible thing in all
the world more worthy to be an
image of God than the sun, which
with its sensible light illumines first
itself, and then all celestial and
elementary bodies; so God first
illumines Himself with intellectual
light, and then the celestial and
other Intelligences."

-Dante
13th-Century Italian

"When it is hot I sweat alot.
When I sweat I feel the intense of
heat. Heat give off light. Light
give off energy. Energy is give off
of electricity. Electricity
give off shot. Shot and then you
get dead."

Elijah

With May flowers and May babies
And pocket books and chains
We boiled in our suitcases
We toiled in its rain
How long ago Elijah
Did we gaze in eyes of soot?
With fearful moths caught in our throats
As Kings were felled by rooks

In each tear there is a tempest
Each voice bequeaths a plea
For Pawns and Queens in gray halos
For dreams in siren seas

How far ahead Elijah
Each puppet step and string
In marble fists, in overtures
In Carnivals for Kings?

The martyrs have been put to bed
All cast on windy shores
With madness eye and candied cane
The children sleep no more.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

"It's poetry. The poetry of war."

Ashley Walker

I have come a long way to talk with you
I have come a long way
over the rambling road through cemeteries.
I have held the ancient rock,
and seen the graveyard flowers grow
with acrid roots in blood and bone
so splendid in the deadman's home
with the shadows of the shadowmen
in shadow gardens and shadow glens,
arriving At your door to say
there is a place where we can gather
And that place is here.
That place is here.

It is still
more blessed
to give...

Cooling Man

BURNING MAN GOES GREEN

Meredith May, Chronicle Staff Writer
Saturday, August 26, 2006
With the Burning Man art festival in the Nevada desert starting Monday, a group of San Francisco scientists is busy calculating how much the event contributes to global warming.
Encouraged by the resurgence of the green movement, the scientists are taking a hard look at all those sacred flaming temples, gas-powered scooters shaped like cupcakes, and hundreds of rumbling RVs that converge for a week on the dry Black Rock Desert lakebed.
With an idea that would make Al Gore smile, the scientists have created Cooling Man, an online calculator that determines how many tons of greenhouse gases each of the 37,000 "burners" will produce with their art projects and community camps.
For the first time, Burning Man participants will be able to "offset" their global warming impact much the same way large corporations do, by investing in clean energy projects.
"We think Cooling Man is pretty cool," said Marian Goodell, Burning Man's director of communications and business.
