And it will be beautiful...

The sweat sticks to my shirt, it's humid and grey.
In my heart the sunshines with clouds and all, the ocean is here as well.
Electricity runs through the sky of my mind.
The tree leaves are waving bye bye.
Stand up! I think.
Stand and rise amongst the sleepers.
Walk towards the clarity and touch the matrix of being.
The light will welcomes you.
Your heart is filled with sorrow and it is beautiful.
You feel the pain and flinch not.
Long ago in the desert someone opened the bottle,
a tree came out and lighting struck.
A white crow landed on the branch.
Thru the magnifying glass of time we saw each other and crossed over to the other side, where the others awaited.
In the spiraling floor I danced and danced the songs of the gypsies.
But the piano fell into the pond and all the creatures looked up.
"Enjoy" she whispered.
Ah, the magic mantra.
Ken drew the clock on the ground where the piano fell.
There stood a man, holding himself as the rain poured on and on.
He gave me the umbrella as lighting struck.
I was scared. My heart was pounding in my chest and the rain doubled.
I looked up and saw the butterfly drop to the ground.
His wings were wet and was crawling like a caterpillar.
I blew on his wings until they were dry.
He kissed me and flew away.
My feet sank into the wet dirt. They turned into mud.
My whole body melted into earth.
I could feel the water running through me.
I feared, and she said: "Enjoy".
Ah yes, the sacred mantra.
Worms were crawling through my flesh.
Was it my flesh? I don't know.
Tree roots were holding me tight and lot letting go.
It smelt good, rich and fertile.
"I shall dance the dance of time once more" she said.

Life's what you make of it...Get me out of here! :)

Life is what you make of it....That seems right. Actually all you can change is your perception. So may be life is the same all the time, without any particular qualities? Then all of us "choses" to see it one way or another.I was born into this world and when I arrived a great many people had already agreed to see the world in a very specific way. They then tried to convince, no, train me into seeing it their way saying things like: "well, that's just the way life is" or "That's just common sense", etc.... Don't get me wrong, I had a choice. I could either accept their world and be rewarded or not, and be punished...interesting choice indeed.So I went along and pretended like everyone else...I guess and by the time I had enough insight to see all this I was already trained. Their basic beliefs were ingrained in my identity as an operating system is installed on a computer. I kept trying to delete the softwares & programs that were installed but the operating system stayed unchanged and was flawed....I NEED A NEW SYSTEM!!! or do I. Actually it is having a system that makes me not see the world as it is. It is having a system that binds me by the rules of others. Is it possible to not have a system? I think yes, but no one wants to make that "choice". I guess somewhere we still remember the punishment of our younger days? By dropping the system it would mean to stop depending on others for reassurance, guidance, truth, etc....It would mean walking alone & never knowing where your next step would be. But it would also mean that you'd discover the world everyday instead of growing old and calcified with the heavyness of your own knowledge and judgements. It would also mean that no one could ever hurt you or emotionally blackmail you, etc....Life would then be an immense adventure, a mystical movie projected on the screen of your mind with no end in sight.

June will be tricky...

Oh boy! June is going to be tricky. By the way, my birthday is June 9th. Well I have to come up with 20 paintings by the 31th of May for the Hartford Coffee openning (the actual opening will be Sunday June 12th from 1 to 4pm), 5 more for Gallerie M by mid June and I was hoping to have a few pieces more for this thing in Colorado. Kurt lives there and there's this block party where tons of people will be walking the streets and buying stuff.If I get some money, I'm outta here. I'd like to go to Cabanas Copal in Tulum, actually I'd rather go to Azulik which is right next door. It's this wonderful clothing optional, no electric (except in the restaurant and bar), candlelight everywhere and the cabanas are right on the beach. I can't wait!...I guess I can :).

Thugs in Suits

Sooooo I'm walking through a parking lot and I'm stopped by these thugs in suits. They wanted the wallet that I had just found, it was fat with cash. Before I could think, my partner jumped in front of me which allowed me to crawl underneath the brown car to my right. As I'm on the ground I open the wallet and stuff the many wads of $100 bills in my pocket. It wasn't an easy task but I managed just fine :). I was then on the 3rd floor of our appartment that I couldn't recognize, you had just finished cleaning and rearanged my room. You left a package on the 3rd to last step of the stairs leading to the kitchen where 2 other people were waiting for me to go out. Before we left I drank half a bottle of brandy. It went down like lemonade and I thought that if the cops pulled me over I'd go staight to jail. A moment later, we were on the side sidewalk in town, it was rainning and grey. We took off our clothes and had sex. No one was around. It would have been a good show.

I had a blast!!!

I HAD A BLAST!!! I really had fun last night. I had 2 art openings with my stuff in it and I sold 2 paintings. Great, I can pay my mortgage now. yeah! The opening at "Chique Gallery" was a lot more fun than the one from ArtDimension. It also seemed like the people at Chique where there to buy whereas the people from ARtD seemed to be friends of the numerous artists that displayed there.Either way I had fun and then we went to 609 on Eastgate in the loop to have a hookah and some wine and then we went to a friends house that had a BBQ. We met this lovely Indian girl and talked all night at ArtD, she was fun.
