There is a time and a place where everything will fall into place. Wait, but things don't happen for a reason. We are a product of Natural Selection. hmm. Ain't that a bitch. Wrap your noodle around that one. So... the formula is. Work hard, play less, and figuare out a way to sue someone. Then for sure your time will come. ohh yes it will come. As long as you stay away from the crack. At least that's what Jacey told me. Stay away from the crack and you'll be great. Ohh and don't get into debt either. That's a bitch too. But not as big of a bitch as Crack I'm sure. Okay now it's time to make the beautiful music for the world, the world that gets angry when they have to wait too long for their pizza. No love? hmm well there isn't much out there. At least none for my eyes to see. I hope this inspires something creative.

Take your time, be patient, and do everything with all your might. . . .

Very strange days and strange times, but the following excerpt from a book I am currently reading really puts things in perspective for me. I have so many things on my mind, so many thing lingering. But what I must remember is to pour my heart into whatever must be done, even if it's not my favorite thing in the world. And not only to put my heart into it, but to actually do it. I need to get things done, I can't shut down. Not even for a moment. I am not trying to say I don't have time to relax, because I have plenty of time to do that. But even when I am relaxing and say, reading. I should pour my heart into it. And when I am so stressed at the daunting task before me I should pour my heart into the goal. And when things don't seem to be looking so good just remember... I have my health, I have skill, and they serve 2 meals a day in hilo for the homeless...

on this trip i think we should notice it, explore a little, to see if in that strange seperation of what man is from and what does we may have some clues as to what the hell has gone wrong in this twentieth century. id don't want to hurry it. that itself is a poisonous twentieth-century attitude. when you want to hurry something, that means you no longer care about it and wat to get on to other things. i just want to get at it slowly, but carefully and thoroughly, with the same attitude i remember was present just before i found that sheared pin. it was that attitude that found it, nothing else.
