When you look through it, and sift it through a decent filter - it's empty. It's still just emptiness. And in the end it equals...loneliness?
Who knows.
Can't say.

That was a brilliant speech. He is a great leader.
 

Bless you.

Fathers aren't doing well here today.

Happy Fathers day dad. You were not the best by some standards, and you lacked a bit by mine. But I know that everyone struggles. Some are very bad at giving, but all give life.

...not much I can do from here except to "white light" the whole issue.




Thanks for all the music - from everyone in Calgary.

How's the tooth?

Jan 1 2007.

Seven years ago in a hotel in Portugal I decided to sober up.

Correction. I had decided sometime before that, but for some reason this one stuck.

Seven years.

I have a soulmate wife, 2 beautiful kids who've never seen me drink/drug.

The picture some may have is that of a messy, unclean, ugly mess. I was not that. I drank the finest wine, wore fine clothes, travelled and was able to hold myself up in any polite situation. I made lots of cash. I was completely comfortable.

I drank alone most often.

I am sober because of a higher power. I am sober because of a group of people (AA), and I am sober out of the strengh of my family.

If anyone reads this who is struggling with any life problem, I ask only one thing of you - somehow find the courage to share it.

Onward...

Entertain this thought for just one moment:

"Perhaps religion is an ancient virus. It feeds on spirituality and produces dissent, anger and war. It spreads thought-borne through the vapor of consciousness uncontrolled, and the vaccine is as nebulous as the disease. In the end, the Church becomes it's own antichrist. All religion becomes evil – a condition that becomes apparent only when the tenet reveals itself as monotheistic, requiring dedication to its spread as a condition of absolution, the promise of hell its punishment for non believers.

You can see this virus - It is its nature that its greatest need is to propagate. It needs walls, books and participants to survive. Tangible things.

The infected espouse its existence as evidence of truth.


But, religion is not truth. Instead spirituality, divinity is truth.

It is the nature of truth that truth needs nothing to be perfect.

Truth doesn't require your participation or belief. ...
