gratitude to PARABOLA magazine for this illustration
“Accept the truth from whatever source it comes.” -Maimonides

Power is a curious ambition prompted more by fear than inspiration breathing the breathe/breathed of Love from the source.

Long before I discovered the quote, opening this post, I would wander aimlessly through the barrage of quotes--on offer--via the Internet. In collecting them I began to form a Self that had remained invisible to me until I applied the quotes as Post-It Notes to my self otherwise naked, alone and making funny faces whenever I’d pass the mirror in the bathroom across from my sleeping place.

I actually don’t have or use Post It-Notes and once again I bless with my gratitude both Les Krims & his mother for their collaboration.
I do, however, use Sticky Notes offered by various sources but in my case, Microsoft Corporation, on my various monitors to note days of obligation to others.

It follows that I am impressed with the similarities of all those we call Prophets, by any gender, creed or race, remain Prophets to me. I, when available, copy and paste their faces or representations symbolic with their quotes.

It follows farther that I love beauty, not merely bodies of woman whose panties I would like to remove after fondling their posteriors across the -- never cotton -- God forbid! -- but satin, nylon, rayon, slippy stuff sliding my palms and fingers grasping gasping in adoration the touch of a woman’s fanny; though I call Annie Fanny I did not until recently realize there was a cartoon figure so named of impossible breasts and posterior. I since I’m falling into a fetish no longer required save when alone and in a mood to masturebate I’ll add that I am indescrimite: the age of the wearer -- I was born a letch, a dirty old man, before I left my mother’s womb; get it?

I live in a community dominated by women who outlive men on average. We boys never grow up or old enough to equal the wisdom of women. The inequality began with the first woman from whom Adam sprang.

That said by way of preamble. It is awkward for me but -- more-or-less nightly -- with or without a cigarette or pants on; or if with them on: summer or winter briefly do I seek where the moon is.

Just awhile ago I did it seeking the moon which has been beloved to many who adore her before time began soon ending. And then it befell me as the thief beside Jesus forgiven, either way I remained a Jew.

A slave to greed, power and crimes against humanity. Enslaved to agendas suggested if not demanded or manipulated/mandated by ‘authority’ to do this or that: e.g. mob roaring for Jesus to be put to death. . . .My problem with where I live is that there are some who fear me and being bored watch me and then despise me with or without clothes, pants or panties. I cannot win with them. I have, in general, stopped trying. Always tempted, I am afterall male. A ram or Lion or both.

When you Love God, God responds making life very simple and direct. God has no one, no hands, no feet to nail to wooden crosses or wear as hood ornaments on gigantic vanity automobiles which are, in point of fact, trucks. Several interesting facts I can elaborate but will not. Any more than: once my trust has been betrayed do I waste my breath on ‘saying asshole’ or ‘F’ face, when I see an SUV. Or as we used to say about Cadillacs: “JEW MOBILE!”

It follows that those who discomfort me are well steered clear of. Since I know myself capable of destroying them by any means or measures and/or die in the process. Not caring a fart for immortality either granted by God or legend.

It follows that I could have easily done the same to my father when he told me of my disinheritance for not having a child (Male Preferable) or children and having adopted a Nigger Child. . . .my heart is beating to keep up with my blood pressure. Yet I would/will go nominally farther. He who uses my common name, by answering to it, as published for forty years in the national newspaper of record: The New York Times. Should be warned that I have less control and good will towards him then as I do the man who told me he was going to cast me out of his apartment . . . i need stop with my list of potential violence. Returning to peace and love which I normally, not nominally, give to all and sundry life.

I can and will use names specific and cost people their employment if pressed. I am a sophist for love, not greed, as I was born to be.

. . . this night while fully clothed I strolled out of the place where I sleep for now on the asshole’s sufferance (daily in question) also possibly being observed by people so bored with life they really don’t have any other reason to live; other than make their neighbors as miserable as themselves. I looked for the, as yet absent, moon and realized that I am of less consequence than a match struck upon a becalmed midnight sea and flicked to hiss extinguished extinct compared to the vagina surrounding all the twinkling masculine stars.

. . . add to which i betimes sense us a virus upon a grain of sand within the mind of god.

Jesus martyred Himself that there be an end to: an eye for an eye. I think, mostly, that when you take another's eye/eyes you disable them from being whole or holy and we have enough unholiness as it is becoming more so.

I am nothing. Yet like all we the ignored, meek, crippled, halt, lame and blind will inherit the Earth once the false prophets for profit have desecrated it to their satisfaction and we will know eternal life in joy and peace while they live the lives they deserve and That My Dear Children of God is that.

VOTE!

who i am to myself is unknowable but announced only in death and at that I am in no rush to the cemetery actually i might be left in ashes in a dumpster for all i care my soul fled at the moment of expiration.

I am neither this name I publish under, nor the thoughts of my of vastly self educated mind, or obligated to my teacher who is . . . thanks to Coleman Barks (poet & Rumi) . . . not called “God” but is known to all creation by a plethora of titles my favorite being the all, should I capitalize? It would be atypical of me since I call the all my beloved my husband/wife/pet/child/the sunrise and set the moon the stars and now i’m weeping . . .

Can I go on? Yes. You see I play The Passion Play over and over and this next Christmas with or without M or Annie and me will be the best Christmas ever for I know because the Bible told me so that my children are in the arms of The All in whose care they occasionally surface smiling at me with the eyes of others regardless of race, creed, gender or heaven not forfend for all love is equal and blest by the all boys with boys, girls with girls, or girls with dogs, boys with sheep, it is all longing for The All.

She is glorious a grandmother looking, to me, like the Virgin Mary, ripe and fecund at a apogee age. Despite having only one testilce now if I had four I’d have fewer balls than she and oh dear God do I admire that in a woman even if she looks nothing like thee. Seldom there at water aerobics last I saw her the time before this I annotate she entered the pool rigid and immediately I felt her pain vicariously extrapolated through my eyes not my spine. I am not only a man of a certain age who still can become erect but also entertain the ideal of bedding her in wedded or unwed bliss. Having offered to castrate myself in order to proclaim my love for M this may or maynot be disloyal or infidelity since we seem married like siamese twins conjoined by head and heart yet I have no jealousy of her loving Oscar or Nazoni Our celibacy is by choice since we could fall so far into one another, at least could I? Yes! Of Course. Celibacy is a choice to be for others gender neutral . . . yet being human we celibates fail and are seldom perfect as is no life lived and some who fall in love with a child knowing not how else to express that love like Michael Jackson fall easily prey to public opinion or like myself with mom knowing not how or why I loved her as i did and do though she virtually castrated me at twelve I still lust for M and/or the woman with two daughters raised alone her husband fun/run off with a younger less -- forgive me girls-- balls.

Now if she or M arrived at my door sans clothes or in bathing costumes I would give pause to what I am about to say . . . I have faith that a woman is God more Woman than man and by God I am lead to be celibate so I can know both M & the grandmother so foxy I nearly die being near either both singly or otherwise together heaven forfend!

Forgive my perversion into salacious carnal thoughts I am nothing if not transparently honest.

Tide Time Seasons and Reason wait for no one who converses with God and of gender issues I am married to God more profoundly than the marriage I’ve know these past few best most joyous and peaceful years of my existence at least that part I am or for now be conscious of. Ever mindful of where my wandering wondering journey takes me moment to second heartbeat to breathe no longer concerns how many of any of the above are left . . . i fell into the possibility that I am the thief who asked Jesus forgiveness beside Him on another cross just like his him and i and the other thief all naked about to in death departed release our bladder and bowel functions no longer needing them.

Of women and men I’ve known a few good ones more women than men and of the Woman God is to me I adore more than myself then Annie then M and the other’s I’ve know including my mom.

Be careful out there, it is crowded and chaotic, if operating a motorized vehicle pay attention, being ever mindful that you are responsible for not simply your self but the self of all life around you: children and dogs with cellular telephone payling killing games instead of solitaire.

confusion maybe not

could be that you can heal yourself if you stop thinking in the circle of confusion let’s say drop out not drop drugs or smoke pot temporary palliatives the hangover will last a lifetime and the visions forgot worse buyer’s remorse since you may have to sell your self and or soul to sustain the fix so let’s say you were sent to exotic foreign vacation lands and the natives were restive and resentful of your being in their face and space & you were told what to do while there then came back minus your legs and once-upon-a-time you were a cheerleader or quarterback now the throwing arm in pieces your mind scrambled and nobody wants you without what they wanted to see under your skirt in their opinion you made a mistake serving your country well just for love lets say it was just what happened not your fault or the misjudgment of doubled down and lost you plus the investment so what are you going to do stew for eternity over it our get about living what is in front of you your life as it is get over the cause the condition and live the real in this moment outside the circle of confusion you have now the first day for the rest of your life to live and stop living the last day it was as it was in confusion as boy girl child adolescent then adult the same issue prevails since your parents were once just like you at your age facing the same issues economic, success, ambition, get rich and famous, problems, opportunities and gave it all up to have you giving you life conscious of itself as just life maybe wanted maybe not but there you are free to choose the this moment forgetting the rest remember this brethren we are what we are in this moment eternal flowing through us do you want love then be loveable and receive the wealth of that greater than anything talking back or rusts there is a place within us that water will make blush like the desert after a spring rain that is the real you not what people tell you its not so much what they or you say but the silence of love once experienced it grows if you give it away making room for more then more comes some things just happen when you happened to be there now no fault no confusion just be healed by what your are exclusive of what you think you should be extrude yourself from the confusion and be love for everything and everyone it will confuse the hell out of them. Don’t be a nut case be a fruit cake. LOL <: span="span">

PS . . . 19:42 those of us who Jesus left behind forgot his laughter and the light of his loving sight so generously spread even upon those of us who slayed Him indifferently
. . . yet He remains so near . . . so very dear to and in my heart
PPS . . . 19:54 in review, the painful part of writing, do I tamper with or otherwise modify or leave stand what was writing in a fit of love. No. I know it difficult for even me to read and I am nominally the author yet instead of rewrite tickle and tamper ala Agee I’ll let it go as is . . . Be Well
God bless God pretty please

Looking back, at now and forward as an old man I am wont to do. I fall into sadness and joy then ecstatic and back again. Discovering I have no fear for my friend is always with me: me. It’s okay to be a girly boy with panties over my head laughing at myself in the mirror remembering it was a near and dear thing the difference between being a girl or boy only one percent and to become a real 50/50 in ways always is a blast something to pass forward as a gift of abandonment to real life instead of the pale white bread covered with wheat paste alternatives born in America or Bangladesh ya gots’ ta know it more better to be free than enslaved.

To know and love God and in return to be so loved to have one another as playmates in the sandbox of creation is well what can be better?

To see this genius in another is!

To celebrate the self possession of free people is a blessing from which one can at the time of death know them blessed by whom and when and the pants wetting ecstasy of knowing yourself blest not damned either the marriage of heaven with hell and back again.

The orgasm never ends since it cycles round and round with wobble of our seasons and reasons to be at all so blest with bliss God by anyother name remains God or Muhammad or Ali or Ala or a boy named Sue Immanuel and Jacob at play dancing the tango or David doing the naked strut ecstatic into Jerusalem to be in the middle best seat in the house helpless with laughter at the proceedings since you know all the time it goes can go will go either way and God be served God’s will and intentions U go God! Rha, Rha!

She was black and sweet as midnight in Jamaica and I was in her presence while she swept the doorstep but a moment and knew then and now I’d seen not merely the Great Mother but also the Mother of Earth and oh boy that Mona Lisa Smile and how now I melt in remembrance what me worry the having is being had keeper kept and the free man/woman/person/alltogether can fly or slither hop or swim going up in smoke saved by the creator of all things no crib sheet Post-It Notes needed no faux thumbnail or fake book to steal from required the little boy burned alive for wetting his bed the little girl raped and cut apart for the Fargo Shredder its okay not for you maybe not forever or at the very least as far as your vision and version and perception will allow I can heal you since I’ve been healed of all my griefs and know them better redeemed before me reconciled submission to the will and intentions of consciousness of god is good more better. I think the next time I want to be a giraffe or an ant eater to tickle your tonsils from inside out. Best of the Best Blest yet can’t fly or swim without resistance or hop from lilly pad to frying pan without somewhere to go. As for me I love going back to Saint Louis on my tricycle with what was her name pantsless holding me for dear life as I wiz through the alleyways and the wizard of oz laughing his ha ha off mama flummoxed oxymoronic
