COMMUNICATION BREAKTHROUGH.

COMMUNICATION ,OR AS I LIKE TO CALL IT, kəˌmyoōnəˈkā sh ən, IS AN IMPORTANT WAY OF TELLING PEOPLE STUFF.

WITH OUT THIS KEY COMPONENT TO LIVING IN A WORLD WHERE THERE ARE ALSO OTHER PEOPLE LIVING, IT'S HARD TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING OR FEELING.

NOW COMMUNICATION CAN COME IN MANY FORMS, THE MOST COMMON BEING WORDS. BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO COMMUNICATE, LIKE:
INTERPRETIVE DANCE.
THE MIME TECHNIQUE.
SILENT SCORN.
FACIAL MOVEMENTS AND HAND PUPPETS!

THE TRICK IS TO FIND WHICH FORM IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE SITUATION YOU’RE IN. AS AN EXAMPLE:

INTERPRETIVE DANCE OR EVEN MIMING,USUALLY DOESN'T GO OVER BIG IN ASKING YOUR BOSS FOR A RAISE OR A DAY OFF , NOR DOES EITHER OF THESE FORMS WORK WELL WHEN ASKING A DYNAMITE LADY OUT ON A DATE OR NEGOTIATING WITH THE POLICE OR THE PEOPLE THAT RUN THE PLACE THEY PUT YOU IN WHEN YOUR MIND GOES FUNNY AND YOU’RE LOCKED IN THE QUIET TIME ROOM.

FRIENDS THESE ARE NOT SPECULATIONS!
I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.

AND SPEAKING OF SPEAKING, I FIND SPEAKING TO BE THE BEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF COMMUNICATING.
SPEAKING WORDS, I'M TALKING , REAL WORDS HERE FOLKS, NOT MADE UP WORDS, IN A LANGUAGE THAT ONLY YOU UNDERSTAND LIKE "BEEP BOOP, BEEP, MEEP, MOOP" WHICH MEANS "I AM LONELY AND COLD". TRUST ME THIS DOES NOT WORK.
NO DEAR FRIENDS I AM TALKING REAL WORD, WORDS.

ALSO ESSENTIAL IN THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS, IS SAYING WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN/FEEL .
IT IS OFTEN HARD TO SAY WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL AND OFTEN IT'S JUST FEAR THAT MAKES OUR WORDS COME OUT WRONG.
FEAR OF REJECTION.
FEAR OF CONFRONTATION.
FEAR OF BEING PERCEIVED AS WEAK OR TO SENSITIVE.
FEAR OF BEING PERCEIVED AS A KNOW IT ALL OR A RETARD.

(MY APOLOGIES TO MY RETARDED READERS BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW RETARDS AND DOLPHINS ARE TOTALLY COOL AND I PERSONALLY THINK THEY'RE GOD’S SPIES ..BUT THAT'S A CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER TIME.)

BACK TO FEAR.
THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM IT'S SCARY!

BUT WE MUST COMMUNICATE HONESTLY AND FACE OUR FEARS IF WE ARE TO BE HAPPY AND FREE OF SHAME ,REMORSE, ANGER, RESENTMENT OR SUPER EMBARRASSING, EXPLOSIVE, INAPPROPRIATE OUTBURSTS!!

LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT NOT TO DO.

LAST WEEK I WENT INTO MY LOCAL COFFEE SHOP AND THERE IS A GAL WHO WORKS THERE AND SHE SEEMS TO LIKE ME AND FOLKS TO BE HONEST, I AM A BIT SMITTEN WITH HER AS WELL.
SO I DECIDED TODAY WOULD BE THE DAY I ASKED HER IF SHE MIGHT LIKE TO GO HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE SOMETIME. WHICH SEEMED PERFECT, SINCE SHE SEEMED TO BE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THE WHOLE, COFFEE LIFESTYLE.
SIMPLE ENOUGH?

WELL, WHEN IT CAME TIME TO ASK HER OUT, TO COMMUNICATE MY FEELING HONESTLY AND FEARLESSLY, I INSTEAD FOUND MYSELF SAYING:

"HEY YOU KNOW WHAT’S FUNNY? I KEEP THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING MY FRIEND TOLD ME? HE SAID, IF YOU SIT ON YOUR HAND UNTIL IT FALLS ASLEEP AND THEN YOU TAKE THAT ASLEEP HAND AND TOUCH YOURSELF IN VARIOUS PLACE ON YOUR BODY, IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IS TOUCHING YOU." I THINK I ALSO ADDED A PHYSICAL COMMUNICATION, IN THE FORM OF A WINK.

SHE JUST STARED AT ME LIKE I WAS USING MY MADE UP LANGUAGE,THAT I SPOKE OF EARLIER AND JUST WENT BACK TO HER WORK.

THE SHAME.

ALL I AM SAYING, IS WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNICATION, SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, MEAN WHAT YOU SAY, AND DON'T SAY IT MEAN.
DON'T FEAR, FEAR.
SAY IT, PROUD AND SAY IT LOUD!
NOT TOO LOUD.
I HOPE THAT I HAVE HELPED YOU.
I KNOW YOU HAVE HELPED ME.
KEEP ON TALKIN’

MY DAY OF BIRTH, FREEDOM AND FRENCH PEOPLE.

MON NOM n'EST pas M. Le français MAIS je CELABRATING LE JOUR DE BASTILLE PARCE QUE C'EST MON ANNIVERSAIRE ET je SUIS LIBRE.

WEE, WEE, FRIENDS,
IT IS MY BIRTHDAY. THE DAY WHICH I CAME OUT OF MY MOTHER AND DECLARED MY FREEDOM!! ONLY TO BE SLAPPED ON THE BOTTOM, WHICH MADE ME CRY AND ALSO STARTED ME QUESTIONING MY SO CALLED FREEDOM. HANGING UPSIDE DOWN WITH A POINTY HEAD FROM THOSE BIG CLAMPS THEY USED TO PULL ME OUT, COVERED IN BLOOD AND HOPPED UP ON WHATEVER CRAZY DRUGS THEY HAD BEEN FEEDING MY HOST.

IT SEEMED MUCH NICER JUST FLOATING AROUND IN SPACE, BUT I GUESS THE UNIVERSE HAD OTHER PLANS.

SO THERE I WAS, 1963, IN THE HOSPITAL, A DRUGGED UP PINHEAD. I WAS CERTAINLY IN NO CONDITION TO STORM OUT OF THAT PRISON/HOSPITAL AND TAKE A STAND FOR MY FREEDOM AND FREEDOM FOR ALL THE DRUG CRAZED PINHEAD CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD. NO, I INTUITIVELY KNEW IT WAS NOT TIME FOR THAT, YET.

THERE WAS ALSO THE FACT THAT I WAS NAKED, COULD NOT WALK, AND WHEN I TRIED TO TALK, IT JUST CAME OUT ALL GOO GOO GA GA-ISH, WHICH HELPED PUT ME IN A STATE OF SURRENDER AND ACCEPTANCE

WELL MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THAT FATEFUL DAY AND AS TIME WENT ON I CAME TO REALIZE IT WAS/IS PERFECT.

THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF FAMILY LIFE AND LATER THE AMAZING AMOUNT OF BAD CHOICES, HEARTACHE, PAIN AND LOSS HAD BROUGHT ME A LITTLE THING I LIKE TO CALL WISDOM .

WHAT I THOUGHT WAS JUST POINTLESS SUFFERING TRANSFORMED INTO OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE NO REGRETS.

SO TODAY DEAR FRIENDS, LETS STORM THE PRISON OF OUR MINDS AND FREE OURSELVES FROM THE BONDAGE OF OURSELVES.

WHAT'D YA SAY!!
ARE YA WITH ME??
ARE YOU IN OR OUT??

TO BE HONEST HERE FOLKS, I'VE STORMED OTHER PRISONS OVER THE YEARS HOPING TO FIND ME, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE PRISON WAS A LIQUOR STORE OR A DRUG DEALERS HOME OR A STRIP CLUB OR A GIRL SCOUT CONVENTION (THAT WAS REALLY EMBARRASSING. IF YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THOSE LITTLE GIRLS FACES WHEN I KICKED DOWN THAT DOOR, YIPES!).

BUT THEN THE DAY CAME THAT I COULD SEE.
I SAW THE PRISON, I SAW THE DOOR, I SAW ME.

I YELLED, "HEY ME, I AM COMING TO GET YOU!!"

AND WHEN I GOT TO THE PRISON DOOR IT WAS UNLOCKED AND THE CELL DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN AND THERE WAS NO ONE HERE TO FIGHT...HUMMM. I ACTUALLY SAID "WHAT THE F---!!" AND "SHIT!!!" BUT THOSE SWEAR WORDS CAME FROM MY IMMEDIATE SHOCK/REVELATION THAT I NEVER KNEW.

"WELL THAT WAS WORTH 45 YEARS OF WAITING.” , I SAID IN A SEMI-SARCASTIC TONE. THEN I LOOKED AT ME ALL SCARED AND SHIVERING REACHING OUT TO ME , SAYING:

HELP ME!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HURRY!!!

AT FIRST I WAS A LITTLE ANGRY AND FELT LIKE SAYING, “DAMN IT ME! THE PLACE IS EMPTY, THERE’S NOTHING KEEPING YOU HERE BUT YOU!! LOOK THE G.D. DOOR IS WIDE OPEN!!! FOR CATS SAKE!!”

BUT I STOPPED MYSELF. I TOOK A BREATH AND SAID, "COME ON OUT, I WILL GET YOU OUT OF HERE, YOU DON’T NEED TO BE SCARED ANYMORE."

ME SMILED AND FINALLY STOOD UP AND WALKED OUT A FREE MAN AND I KNEW THAT IT WAS GOOD, AND VERY GOOD.

LET’S ALL HAVE A MASSIVE PRISON BREAK TODAY!!
LET’S CELEBRATE MY/YOUR BIRTHDAY!!
LET’S MAKE A CAKE!!
LET US EAT THE FREEDOM FRIES OF LIFE!!
LET’S CELEBRATE FREEDOM TODAY.

LAISSER L'ANNEAU DE LIBERTE! ! !

LIBERER, LA PALOURDE.

Will you join me in a FLIGHT OF FANCY?

Come on, LADY GIRLS AND HAPPENING DUDES, Put on your FANCIFUL, FLYING SUIT and LETS SOAR!

Let's make like a ROCKET SHIP and just ROCK OFF!

I KNOW YOU GOT IT IN YOU.
I KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT I KNOW, CAUSE GUESS WHAT?
IT'S THE SAME THING!

We are FREE/PRICELESS.

We are REAL/IMAGINATION.

Sure it might be hiding behind some OLD HEART BREAKS and some PAST REGRETS and FUTURE WORRIES.
Maybe there are some old, 8 TRACK TAPES AND LAZAR DISCS, IN YOU MIND , saying "NO !! DON'T DO IT, YOU WILL GET HURT !! REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE DID SOMETHING NEW? OUCH!!"

FRIENDS ITS TIME TO THROW ALL THE OLD REEL TO REELS AND FLOPPY DISCS OUT OF YOUR PAIN BODY AND REBOOT!!

We can CHANGE!

Change our MINDS, our THOUGHTS ,ATTACHMENTS,CONDITIONING, our MOODS, our REACTIONS, our VIBRATIONS, our UNDERWEAR!

PEOPLE, it is calling to US, and although the voice is still small and some time seems to be in another language, it IS still there in the still of the stillness.
Like a flame that has been untouched by the bad gassy winds of the past.

Friends,sometimes it calls to me in FRENCH ,from behind a LARGE BRICK WALL ,in my MIND and when I get up close and put my ear to the wall I can hear the voices say:

"ce mur n'est pas vrai, promenade par lui!"

Which I think means:

"This is not a real wall ,you should come join us FRENCH PEOPLE on the other side cause we are having a REALLY good time!"

OR something like that. I AM not sure, cause I DON'T SPEAK FRENCH and I don’t even know why there are FRENCH PEOPLE IN MY MIND?

But that’s the mystery of LIFE.

AND I LOVE IT!

It's a REAL/MYSTERY!

USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO SEE YOUR TRUE SELF IN THE UNSEEN.

Because, HELLO!

It is REAL.
You are REAL.
I AM REAL.

AND THAT IS REAL GOOD!

THERE'S SOMEONE AT THE DOOR, And they're looking for YOU.

YOU Hear the knocking.

SO WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE—SWEATING, HEART RACING, WITH YOUR BACK AGAINST YOUR DOOR?

MUMBLING TO YOURSELF.

HOPING WHOEVER IS OUT THERE WILL just GO AWAY.

PRAYING TO GOD THEY DON'T USE SOME KIND OF CRAZY MEDIEVAL BATTERING RAM TO BUST DOWN THE DOOR AND GRAB YOU AND STRIP YOU NAKED AND POINT AT YOU, AND LAUGH AT YOU, AND MAKE YOU WEAR A DUMB HAT AND DANCE FOR THEM AND THEN TAKE YOU TO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND KICK YOU ONTO THE STREET NAKED (except for the HAT), AND TAKE PICTURES OF YOU AND SEND THEM TO YOUR MOTHER.

And

THEY GO BACK TO YOUR HOUSE AND POOP ALL OVER THE YOUR STUFF.

WELL FOLKS,
I'VE GOT SOME NEWS FOR YOU.
THE KNOCKING IS NOT THEM.

THE KNOCKING IS YOU!

And unless you want to GET NAKED AND PUT ON A DUMB HAT AND GO DOWN TO A BUSY INTERSECTION And take SOME PICTURES OF YOURSELF TO SEND TO YOUR MOM THEN HEAD BACK TO YOUR PLACE TO POOP ON STUFF, As some kind of CREATIVE EXPRESSION (Which I TOTALLY SUPPORT),

YOU MAY AS WILL ANSWER THE DOOR.
IT 'S JUST YOU.
YOU JUST WANTS TO BE WITH YOU.

YOU MISSES YOU.
YOU IS LONELY.
YOU JUST WANTS TO PART OF YOUR LIFE.
IT'S THE REAL YOU.

THE HAPPY, SUCCESSFUL, LOVING, HEALTHY, PEACEFUL YOU.

LET YOURSELF IN.

YOU'RE GOING TO MEET YOU ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

DON'T MAKE YOU BRING OUT THE MEDIEVAL BATTERING RAM.

OPEN THE DOOR.
YOU IS YOU!
WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR YOU'RE LOOKING WITH.
I AM, CLAM.

IT is in my NATURE to help YOU.

I AM really on the prowl , like a wild cat....that helps other wild cats.

I AM looking all around me, like an owl spinning his head looking to help other owls that might be having some kind of OWL TROUBLE.

NOT like a stupid TURTLE hiding in his shell—don't get me wrong 'CAUSE I LOVE TURTLES, but they're soooo slow. But GOD made'em so they must be kinda cool, I just dont know why they have to be SO slow.

I AM sorry.. i drifted .

"BUT CLAM," you might say, "what about a CLAM? Are YOU not like a clam with your rough/hard shell and soft DELICIOUS interior?"

To which my response would be, "WHAT THE SAM-DIGGITY-DOG ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

Which would throw you out of your "COMFORT ZONE" and then i would quickly change the subject and ask you to GIVE ME SOMETHING !

LIKE A HUG, for example.

That's 'cause I'm SHARP like those beaver looking things with the long needles sticking out all over them but without the beaver tail,i think they are called porky pies or whatever.

I've only seen pictures.

ALL I'm really trying to say is it is MY NATURE to help you/me have more of this THING CALLED LIFE.
AND BE, NATURALLY HAPPY.

Or at least HELP YOU put a SHINNY VENEER, OVER THE EXISTENTIAL MEANINGLESSNESS we sometimes
feel.
LIKE A TURTLE.

SPEAKING OF TURTLES, I AM having what some call a SHY TURTLE in my bottom area, which tells me I AM still ALIVE and have CONSCIOUSNESS and that means alot, if you think about it.

gotta run.

NATURE CALLS!

SOME DYNAMITE NEWS!!..YOU CAN FEEL GOOD!!

FOLKS DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN FEEL GOOD ANYTIME YOU WANT TO?

I CAN ALREADY HEAR YOU SAYING:

WELL, I CANT REALLY HEAR YOU, CAUSE MY COMPUTER IS NOT THAT FANCY. NOT LIKE THOSE NEW COMPUTERS THAT CAN SEE AND HEAR PEOPLE THAT ARE ONLINE.

I WONDER IF SOMEONE IS WATCHING ME RIGHT NOW?

IF YOU ARE, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING; I AM WEARING THIS BIG HAT WITH FEATHERS IN IT BECAUSE IT WAS MY GRANDMOTHERS AND IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD AND ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE AND SMILEY. AND YES, THIS FANCY ASCOT WAS ALSO HERS.

ANYWAY I DO NOT THINK YOU SHOULD BE SPYING ON PEOPLE. I AM NOW GOING TO COVER MY COMPUTER WITH A BLANKET SO THAT I CAN HAVE SOME PRIVACY.

OK, THAT DID NOT WORK BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WHAT I WAS TYPING.

OK THEN, YOU WIN, WATCH AWAY, I DO NOT CARE. I JUST THINK YOU SHOULD ASK FIRST. THAT’S JUST ME, AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOU. YET.

SO BACK TO FEELING GOD OR GOOD OR WHATEVER THE KIDS ARE CALLING IT THESE DAYS?

YES! YOU CAN DO IT!
AND I CAN IMAGINE YOU SAYING:

* CAN I FEEL GOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURBULENT SEA?
* IN THE DARKNESS OF THE SOIL?
* IN THE ALONENESS OF YOUR LONELINESS?
* IN THE EYE OF THE STORM?
* IN THE SALTINESS OF YOUR TEAR SOAKED PILLOW?

OH YES.
A RESOUNDING YES TO ALL THE ABOVE.

AND FRIENDS WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU IS PURE DYNAMITE!!

IT IS SO POWERFUL THAT IT COULD LITERALLY AND METAPHORICALLY, BLOW YOUR MIND!

AND IT’S PRETTY SIMPLE.

WHY, EVEN A SIMPLETON COULD DO IT.

IN FACT, A SIMPLETON COULD PROBABLY DO IT EASIER THAN A SMART ASS, BRAINIAC, KNOW IT ALL, WHO IS STUCK ON ALL THE CRAP IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD, LIKE LOGIC AND PROOF AND EVIDENCE AND SO CALLED FACTS.

THAT STUFF CAN REALLY GET IN YOUR WAY. BELIEVE ME I KNOW. AFTER READING A LOT OF WORDS AND OPINIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE IT CAN REALLY BE A STRUGGLE TO OPEN YOUR MIND TO SOMETHING NEW.

BUT FRIENDS IT IS WORTH IT AND IF ITS NOT THEN BIG POOP!, GO BACK TO YOUR OLD CLOSED MINDED SELF, IT'S A SEMI-FREE COUNTY MY FRIEND.

H. E. DOUBLE HONEY STICKS !

I AM HAVING A HARD TIME STAYING FOCUSED.

BACK TO FEELING GOOD.

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO.

YOU JUST SAY:

I FEEL GOOD!!

AND KABAM!!!

(DON’T SAY KABAM, THAT’S JUST ME USING A WORD LIKE THEY DID ON BATMAN AFTER SOMEONE GOT SMACKED, TO REALLY DRIVE HOME THE IMPACT)

THAT'S IT FOLKS, JUST SAY (OUT LOUD).
I FEEL GOOD !!

SIMPLE, RIGHT?

BUT YOU’RE SAYING:
"I DO NOT FEEL GOOD!"

WELL, HERE IS A NEWS FLASH! THAT DOESN’T MATTER A DIDDLY SQUAT.!!

FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE ADDED THE WORD NOT, AND THAT’S NOT THE INSTRUCTIONS.

SECOND, IT DOESN’T MATTER A RATS BOTTOM IF YOU ACTUALLY FEEL GOOD, YOU’RE JUST SAYING IT OUT LOUD.
AND YOU KEEP SAYING IT.

EVEN AS YOUR MIND KEEPS FIGHTING BACK SAYING:
"WHAT THE HELL? WE DON’T FEEL GOOD, WHY DOES HE KEEP SAYING THAT?"

YOU JUST KEEP IT UP. THE FIGHT BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR MIND WILL ETHER BECOME SO COMICAL THAT YOU JUST START LAUGHING, WHICH BY THE WAY IS A SIGN OF FEELING GOOD.

OR

YOUR MIND JUST GETS SO FRUSTRATED IT GOES OFF TO DO SOMETHING ELSE, LEAVING YOU ROCKING ON THE SIDE OF YOUR BED IN TEARS REPEATING THE PHRASE:
"I FEEL GOOD”, ” I FEEL GOOD”, ” I FEEL GOOD".

THEN YOU CAN STAND UP, BLOW YOUR NOSE, PUT SOME CLOTHES ON AND SAY:

"HEY! I FEEL BETTER!"

AND BETTER IS GOOD!!
SAY IT.
FEEL IT.
BE IT.
IT WILL COME.

GOOD MORNING AND GOODNIGHT AND GOOD DAY.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
I FEEL GOOD KNOWING YOU’RE GOING TO FEEL BETTER.

DEAR FRIENDS, IT'S NOTHING MORE THEN FEELINGS.
DO YOU FEEL ME?
GOOD.

FEEL GOOD LOVE TO YOU ALL,
CLAM

IF I HELD A MIRROR UP TO YOUR MIRROR WHAT WOULD I/YOU SEE?

HECK, I DON’T KNOW? I AM NOT A MIRROROLOGIST PEOPLE, JEEEZ LOUWEEZE!!

BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THIS.

PEOPLE JUST SEEM TO APPEAR IN YOUR LIFE AND THEY SAY WORDS AND STATE THEIR OPINIONS. SOMETIMES THESE WORDS ARE GOOD AND HELPFUL AND COME FROM A PLACE OF LOVE. SOMETIMES THESE OPINIONS COME FROM AN OPEN HEART AND ARE GIVEN AS SHARED EXPERIENCE OR A HELPFUL/PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.

NOW SOME FOLKS SAY THESE PEOPLE COME TO US TO BE OUR MIRRORS, TO SHOW US THINGS WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IN OURSELVES, TEACH US THINGS WE MIGHT NEED TO LEARN IN THIS THING CALLED LIFE.

I SAY YAY, YAY, TO THAT.

BUT SOMETIMES THEY ARE NOT AND I SAY THAT WITH A STRONG, NAY, NAY.

SOMETIMES THE WORDS THAT COME OUT OF THESE FOLKS ARE BAD WORDS AND THEIR OPINIONS ARE EVEN WORSE.

THEIR WORDS COME FROM A PLACE OF PAIN, OF HURT OF THEIR OWN FEARS AND DOUBTS. THEIR OPINIONS ARE OFTEN BASED IN WHAT THEY OR THEIR EGOS OR THEIR PAIN OR WHATEVER, NEEDS TO BRING OTHERS DOWN AND NOT DO THE EXACT THING THEY ARE TELLING OTHER THAT THEY SHOULD DO THEMSELVES.

BUT HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS!!

BOTH TYPES ARE GOOD.
YES YOU HEARD/READ ME RIGHT.
GOOD.

BOTH ARE GOOD WAYS FOR YOU TO LOOK INSIDE AND FIND YOUR OWN TRUTH.

NOW WHEN I SAY "LOOK INSIDE" I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT STICKING A KNIFE INTO YOUR STOMACH AND CUTTING A LARGE CIRCLE INTO YOURSELF AND LOOKING AT IT AS YOU TAKE YOUR LAST FEW BREATHS.

ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE DOING JUST THAT AFTER TALKING TO CERTAIN PEOPLE OR SHOULD I SAY:
"TALKED TO" BY CERTAIN PEOPLE.

OR MAYBE:
"YELLED AT AND BELITTLED AND ACCUSED AND SCOLDED BY CERTAIN UNNAMED PEOPLE"

ANYHOOT, WHERE WAS/AM I?

OH YEAH.
FRIENDS, I AM NOT TELLING YOU WHAT TO THINK OR DO. I AM JUST THINKING/TYPING OUT LOUD. I AM CONTEMPLATING, WHY?

I AM NOT ASKING YOU, WHY? I AM JUST ASKING MYSELF, WHY?

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, ISN’T IT!!
WELL I THINK THAT’S VERY SELFISH!!

SEE FOLKS THAT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE. TELLING YOU IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU WHEN I AM BEING ALL ABOUT ME.

IT'S LIKE THAT LITTLE VOICE IN MY HEAD. THAT SMALL SCARED SELF THAT SAYS THINGS TO ME ...WELL NOT OUT LOUD BUT JUST IN MY HEAD. IT SAYS THING LIKE:
"THAT WAS A GREAT MEETING, NOW CAN YOU LEND ME TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS YOU RICH BASTARD! I NEED TO BUY SOME SHIT, LIKE FOOD, A CAR, HEALTH INSURANCE, AND CRAZY SHIT LIKE THAT."

OR

"THANKS FOR BAGGING MY GROCERIES CAN WE GO SOMEWHERE AND HAVE SOME HOT CRAZY SEX NOW? "

OR EVEN

"THANKS FOR TELLING ME HOW I’VE GOT TO LIVE MY LIFE, CAN I STICK THIS FORK IN YOUR EYE NOW?"

BUT THOSE ARE JUST PASSING THOUGHTS AND I JUST SMILE AND LET THEM DRIFT BY.

PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES FOR A REASON.
FOR US TO LEARN.
FOR US TO SEE.
FOR US TO HAVE COMPASSION FOR THEIR SUFFERING AS WELL AS OUR OWN.

SO LET’S TRY NOT TO REACT TO OUTSIDE PEOPLES WORDS AND OPINIONS AND JUST ASK OURSELVES, WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THEM. LET’S TRY NOT TO HIT ANYONE WITH A HEAVY OBJECT, ESPECIALLY YOURSELF. LET’S GO DEEP AND FIGURE OUT WHAT’S RIGHT FOR ME/YOU.

THAT’S WHAT I AM DOING AND THAT’S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO!!

SORRY, THERE I GO AGAIN.

I DON’T WANT TO SHOULD ON ANYONE.

I LOVE.

ME, CLAM
