CAN WE PRETEND THAT AIRPLANES IN THE NIGHTSKY ARE LIKE SHOOTING STARS


I CAN REALLY USE A WISH RIGHT NOW, WISH RIGHT NOW, WISH RIGHT NOW.

IT'S AMAZING HOW THE CHORUS OF THIS HIP-HOP SONG IS PLAYING ON MY MIND. IT'S ALL GOOD THOUGH.

I was actually projecting on how this song would effect the generation of teens that grow up today listening to this message and groups like Down With Webster. Answer, it's all just a conduit to connecting with something alot larger than themselves.

Then again there is that ever so subtle message looming,that if you become an artist and get your money for nothing and your chicks for free, you will be admired, and after a
couple of rehabs, you can become a thespian, a director and eventually a LEGEND.

We all want to be admired by our peers, even if secretly we can't stand the sight of ourselves. I suppose it's better than being ignored for the perception of nothing you are.

Some how a friend of mine became extremely famous and wrote his songs on his blackberry in his mothers basement and is showing up here this week with a famous actress in tow. His secret. Unwavering belief in his art, talent, good looks, and incredible luck and timing. This is simply not the reality for the other 99 percent of talented people.

Now the bigger picture is still to come for this young man, he may be faced with a huge revelation and challenge down the road that we wouldn't wish on anybody. For now though, I am very happy for him.

I am very happy with the people that are popping up in my world right now. I should probably get on my knees to thank them for their participation and heap praise upon them.

The more that expectation and entitlement are not part of the daily projections and meditations, the more beautiful the journey. That sounds very late 60s. And if you can't be with the one you love honey, love the one your with.. I digress.


I find that the challenge is that no matter what spiritual momentum and good intentions that you have in your world; life will throw you a curve ball. It's humorous really. Just when you feel light on your feet and in sync with the energy of your environment, your ego mind will flood you with a quick thought.."There must be more than this" or "I'm bored"
Someone I know uses the technique of saying "cancel, cancel" when this happens.

I don't know, just accept it as mental junk, take a quick look at it as such, and move back into your positive mode. EASIER SAID THAN DONE..

I am all over the map today, I am constantly digging for the answers. I even try to find them in the pop songs that my imaginary grandchildren are listening to. So be it. I am grateful.
