"Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
Tomorrow be today."

"When the artist is alive in any person… he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for better understanding."

What we are experiencing is “the Death of an Age” . The Old Ways have become obsolete, and while they hold on, they Burn Rubber on our Streets, raping our Earth, blinded by what things “ARE” instead of what they ARE, mutating themselves and Corrupting our Youth, trying their best to beat the…

“I can show you that when it starts to rain,
Everything’s the same.
I can show you, I can show you.

Rain, I don’t mind.
Shine, the world looks fine.

Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
It’s just a state of mind…”

The first time I actually tripped after taking acid, I heard this song in the apartment of my friend’s in San Francisco… It literally felt like an orgasm in my mind. Never before has a memory been so vivid.

"‎”All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him. If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both. One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them. All it can see in an original idea is potential change, and hence an invasion of its prerogatives. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are."

H.L. Mencken

"Death, whoever and whatever you are, tallest king of
tall kings, grant me these wishes: unstring my bones;
let me be not one thing but all things, and wondrously
scattered; shake me free from my name. Let the wind, and
the wildflowers, and the catbird never know it. Let
time loosen me like the bead of a flower form its wrappings
of leaves. Let me begin the changes, let me—"
