Wow

WOW!!! My head is spinning out of control; it’s rambling and it won’t shut up. I wish I could hit the pause button or put it in time out. I’m hoping that it runs out of tape. I want to laugh and cry at the same time. I think this is what’s called ‘on the verge of insanity.’ An old friend used to say; “I’ll see you at Bellevue.” Is it time already?

I better get to my Top Ten List of Books before they come pick me up, seriously.

#9) Sex Death and Enlightenment (A True Story) by Mark Matousek. I came across this book at The Bodhi Tree here in Los Angeles. It was, of course, the title that caught my eyes. I was surprised to have had such a deep connection to his story; I felt like I was reading a part of my own personal journey. Over the years, I have picked it up for a second go around, but have never fully gone through it. I think it’s time to does so. I can use a little enlightening in my life today.

The piece here is titled “I Love Jesus.” It’s a self-portrait of me in a straight jacket. I once had a vision of putting on this costume for shock value, but have never done so. How appropriate for how I’m feeling today.

Inhale, Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
