Today is a Good Day to Let Go.

Today is a good day to let go.

We have it in our thick monkey brains that if we dare loosen our grip- everything will turn to shit.

This is not necessarily the case. 

By letting go...

you might actually be setting something, or someone FREE.

Maybe even YOURSELF.

Letting go may be the most unselfish thing you have ever done.


So...unless you are a rock climber, or a bat or something...

For heaven's sake LET GO.

& see what happens. 


I'll bet it's something better, higher, stronger...


Infinitely more beautiful than you ever imagined.

How Low Can You Go...

I've seen Hell. 

Hell is settling for less than you are worthy of. 

And it's a TERRIBLE place.

If you have woken up in a strange bed, with someone you don't know, or even worse, don't care for...

You know what I'm talking about.


Heaven, on the other hand...

is being delivered so much more than you ever imagined possible.


I've had both. 

And take it from me...

PURGATORY is being so used to HELL...

You just can't handle Heaven. 


& flushing it all down the toilet.


Heaven...


& Hell. 


Pick one...


& START WALKING.


Because Limbo is too low to spend a lifetime... 
 

Quirks

Love and Convenience are not the same thing. 

Convenience stores are convenient, but they are also costly, look awful when you're not drunk anymore, and they are NO place to spend the rest of your life. 

I wouldn't elbow my way into brain surgery; similarly, love is not for those who have no idea of, or interest in, love.


You know who you are...

Nugget.

Things rarely work out exactly the way we would like them to. 

For the most part- for the majority of us- life is a mess.

ESPECIALLY if you're trying to forge your own path. 

(Go and look at a piece of jungle some time to find out why- if you can find some jungle left)

BUT...every once in a while, there is a breakthrough. 

One small thing goes SO RIGHT- it washes clean all the dirt & muck and grime of the crap that went before. 

& they say, from this moment...

you don't look back. 


I know it can get pretty cold and dark in the mine of life- but THAT'S what I'm here for. 

You might be the same...   

Australia's Burning

What the blazes.

I managed to get hold of a few snaps of the bushfires over the Blue Mountains. 
 
I'm not going to throw adjectives around- I think these pics speak for themselves.
 
What I will say, however, is that my heart goes out to those who have lost their homes or loved ones in the blaze.

We also lost a pilot in a crash that occurred whilst he was feverishly trying to control some of this destructive rubbish.

Brave man. 

RIP.

Spare a thought for those suffering down under...

& to those brave souls battling the Hell fire...

may you stay safe and strong until this is all over.  

 

The TRUE enemy...

I'm not a Vegetarian-

apparently I am Pescetarian 'cos I eats me some fish. 

But that's a little close to Episcopalian for my liking. 

Plus...I won't be able to eat fish for much longer due to the radiation, so I will have to change again. 

Curse these goddamned labels!  I just want to be 'John' again!! 


Down with the Label-arians!'

Grumpy Relatives.

If you have negative voices in your head...

chances are, you will never get rid of them. 

I'm sorry about that. 

Sorry to have to tell you that. 

Sometimes we have them for reasons that make them virtually inextinguishable. 

& pathological or not...

whether they are schizophrenia or simply our rogue thoughts run rampant...

I think we're probably stuck with them.


HOWEVER...the good news is, you don't have to listen. 

See...where we fuck ourselves up is we think that this is 'simply the way we are, and we are stuck with it', dark noise and all. 

But the negative energy is a bit like having a grumpy crippled relative in the house.

They won't leave, they won't die...

they just constantly grumble. 

I have noticed that, if I don't want to let that voice darken my mind and send me off into a shitty day, all I have to do is say,

'no thanks'. 


Don't need this noise. 

Then I walk out of that dark room this grumpy bum lives in, walk into a beautiful brightly lit room of the house with sun streaming in through the bay windows, nice music playing, incense burning,

and I remind myself...'today is going to be a lovely day full of wonderful things'. 

Remember the saying- 'thoughts are things'? 

You can have any thing your heart desires. 

& that includes happiness.


Thanks again for taking an interest.  Your thoughts are things too...and they are good things.

Peace.
