The more we attempt to define and comprehend the profound meaning of life, we discover, at some point, it's not a serious as we had been programmed to believe.Interpreting our lives through the process of story-telling and analogy allows a clearer view of our journey as human beings, and is nothing more powerful to move our consciousness than a song?So if you can now compare your life to a song ...

GET YOUR EARTH ON!!!

Earth is the heart of our universe, pulsing with love and life at all times. We totally depend on our planet to give lavishly and unconditionally of itself for our nourishment and support. Over the years, we have fallen out of balance with our earth, causing disorder, affliction, and shortage in all areas of our existence.Practically every earthly system, natural and man-made, is in trouble.

TIME MURDERERS

kasmik — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:13:46 -0800

How much time do you spend at your workplace? If you work a 40 hour week consistently for the year, you are spending approximately 50% of your daytime hours on your job. That figure is only true if you have 2 days off. More accurately, you spend about 67% of your day at work.You may say "well, I have to make a living", but is this really living? At this pace, you are placing yourself in ...

CROW SPIRIT

kasmik — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:43:36 -0800

Yesterday, I was awakened at 7 am by the bright loud 'caw' of a crow near my bedroom window. Alarmed, but groggy, I hopped out of bed, stumbled into the bathroom, and got ready for a full day of work at home. Excited about completing my latest art venture, I gathered my materials, set up the studio, and turned on my favorite iTunes channel. Even though the weather was a chilly 45 degrees with a ...

34 PEASE STREET-HOME AGAIN

kasmik — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:00:19 -0800

When I recall 34 Pease Street, I hear a faint chirp, a robin's tweetA soft breeze circles 'round my knees and leaves play symphonies on the treesTrue colors of raspberry red and green, burst out in waves radiating the sceneA patchwork of flowers, a row for every hour of a day's work, if you know what I mean.Four, maybe five steps, puts me at the doorthe glowing is growing from the floortakes root ...

BOX IN

kasmik — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 00:58:14 -0800

Happiness is like an unending boxing match with everybody weighing in on the subject, taking shots, then rolling with the punches while trying to get a knockout. The world is our ring, and society is the coach and referee, guiding, gauging, ruling and regulating the fight. The opening bell rang when you were conceived. The first punch was when your parents realized that you were making your ...

UPON MY WINDOW

kasmik — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:01:10 -0800

Out of my bedroom window into the snow, I stared, brooding over my near departure from my home of 7 years. Tears trickling from my eyes, I blew one last time upon the frozen glass to create a frosty haze upon the window. "Bye", I scribbled with my eleven year old finger, then turned and walked away.The winter of 1968 proved to be my last spent in Dayton, Ohio. In a place where I had ...

THE OUTER LIMITS

kasmik — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 21:26:48 -0800

The Monday before Thanksgiving day, I ventured into a dark reality. It began that morning, after consulting with my insurance company on the coverage limitations for leaky roof repair costs and peaked a couple of hours later when I received an overdraft notice from my bank. Unsettled and discouraged, I suddenly realized so much of our lives are defined by limits. In a moment of desperation, I ...

MS.MONTIER'S MAGIC MINTS

kasmik — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:36:59 -0800

Georgia is among 28 states considered to be a right to work state, which really means your employer has free rein to fire you without concern of a backlash from unions, lower wages and benefits, diminished standards of living, and no job security. In a sense this translates into fear among employees and abusive relations in the workplace. So when I attended orientation for a new job at one of the ...

THE ROLLER COASTER OF LIFE

kasmik — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:02:30 -0800

ENJOY THE RIDE!This past Halloween, I visited Six Flags and waited in line for almost two hours to get a ride on the 'Goliath', one of the larger roller coasters in North America. Even in the drizzle and cold weather, I felt warm and prickly inside, excited by the anticipation of the enormous 200 foot climb to the top. Finally, I boarded a car, seated next to a stranger, who was equally charged ...

Manifest Destiny

kasmik — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:34:28 -0800

Curiously, I have been a prisoner of my own mind, awaiting someone or something to release me. Thoughts and perceptions had deceived me into thinking I possessed an open mind as I watched life through a glass prison door. A catalyst move me; a liberator of perspective relinquished the hold and removed the walls of my unconscious incarceration.Choosing to live freely and happily is a challenge ...

Born in Tahiti, Pele is the Hawaiin Goddess of fire, lightning, volcanoes, dance, and violence.
