Another Lamott Bon Mot

Listen to her. She knows.

How Soon Is Now? Not Soon Enough.

And, you don’t have time. So, do it. 

Not just today, but now. 

Or soon as you can. Your texting, your social media, your binge watching whatever it is this week, isn't nearly as important as it feels like it is. I get it, you just want to get out of your head, and what better the eight episodes of whatever zombie apocalypse it is this week? It’s just a little brain dope drip – don’t be fooled by that sh*t. It’s about what’s important and your creation, however not up to your standard it may be, is, in the scheme of things, vastly more important. It’s literally life or death stuff.


When our lives flash before our eyes, it won’t be about great social media exchanges or sexts.

Delusion Inc: Make Yourself a Gift to Yourself

Believe that nothing is impossible for you, think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, dry and moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the sky, that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death...

Giordano Bruno, 1548-1617: Philosopher, mathematician, poet, alchemist

This is for me. If it helps you too, cool.

I... I can't. I just can't...

The Chinese Farmer: As told by Alan Watts

Maybe it's not what you think it is:

Hold Your Peace, Before You Make Your Piece

The Critical Voice: 

He* is no doubt a chainsmoker, drinks coffee like Balzac**, self-injects testosterone (in the eyeball!), and does coke off his desk.

Quiet the mind and lock him out. 

Now get to work.

*He is most likely a he, whatever the gender of the thinker. 

**Balzac drank 53 cups a day while writing – and died of a heart attack at 51.
