    Why must we prolong enjoyment in strife or fortune,ease or hardship, or—for that matter—whatever lies in front of us?  For a fantasy future that may be derailed by something as cosmically inevitable as a meteor?  Or as geologically certain as an earthquake?  Or as inescapably inexorable as death?  Attack your ego in whatever way necessary…

    All those cracks in reality can be obsessed over or ignored…but in my mind they’re actually clues, or “handles.”  And you may be asking yourself, “What on earth is he talking about?  Why would reality have ‘handles?’ “ Reality has handles so you can grab hold of it and bend it.  😉

    My approach to evocative writing:  Be merciless with yourself; attack preconceptions and comfortable ignorances until that deep section of [your soul] that is shared with everyone else is revealed.   Once you tap THAT perspective, your words will resonate—they’ll resonate because you are writing from a resonant aspect of your spirit.

    Challenging yourself can strengthen your spirit or body…but why stop there?   Go deeper and it will expand your awareness

    If abundance is a matter-of-fact truth, then the concept of “lack” can be used constructively—to motivate us to pursue fulfilling/regenerative activities.   Then, if we so choose, we can plunge so deep into those activities that we laugh at ourselves for ever believing in “lack.”  😉

    The lies we tell ourselves are incredibly addictive and INSANELY comfortable.

    Most of the time I find it comfortable to expand at the rate of logic.   However, I keep myself open to the possibility that—at any given moment—I could instantiate or manifest at the speed of magic. 😉
