People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have corpses in their mouths.

indulging my neurotic obsessions (they usually involve some combination of hockey and... something else that might not have anything to do with hockey), playing music with people i respect and love. disliking most things.... most people... myself... most music.... most poetry.... most, well most anything, really. indulging my creative ideas. planning the parade i am going to have when the flyers win the Stanley cup. damn near everything that has to do with hockey. exploring crippling paranoia. cooking. doing what my cat says. picking and choosing the other voices i listen to.

A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark. But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening underground An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are being called to a higher light. It is a silent revolution. From the inside out. From the ground up. This is a Global operation. A Spiritual Conspiracy. There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet. You won’t see us on the T.V. You won’t read about us in the newspaper You won’t hear about us on the radio We don’t seek any glory We don’t wear any uniform We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles Most of us work anonymously We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country and culture of the world Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands You could pass by one of us on the street
and not even notice We go undercover We remain behind the scenes It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit But simply that the work gets done Occasionally we spot each other in the street We give a quiet nod and continue on our way During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs But behind the false storefront at night is where the real work takes a place Some call us the Conscious Army We are slowly creating a new world with the power of our minds and hearts We follow, with passion and joy Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~ Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness… We each express ourselves in our own unique ways with our own unique gifts and talents Be the change you want to see in the world That is the motto that fills our hearts We know it is the only way real transformation takes place We know tha
