About me: "I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion." ---Jack Kerouac
"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither." ---C. S. Lewis
"Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule." ---G. K. Chesterton
"If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don€™t abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn; if you wish for this, sit down in the fire." ---Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Who I'd like to meet: Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin, my Grandfather Jack, Da Vinci, Jack Kerouac, David Allen, Rupert Sheldrake, G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis
hey i see you over there! how are you? i'm so sorry i haven't called yet. i have a new job and i just started school again so i'm in a big adjustment period, but i really want to talk to you :) love to you and jess
Im sorry about that..yeah someone keeps on getting into my site..but i changed my password again and everything so i hope it doesn't happen again..im terrible sorry..i don't know who is doing that..but it's happened before.
hey you! i was so happy to get your message and i promise to call soon :) will you email me your phone number? it got lost in the shuffle. hope all is lovely and bright. cyberhugs to you and jess
hey there fella! all is well here in the ville - summer's just flying by. year 2, huh? excellent. and your couch sounds like a lovely destination. now i just have to come up with the $$ to get there! i would love to though, for sure. we all miss you guys. love, c
Here you were thinking, "Yeah, sure, Jessica's friend La Tisha will come out to Korea. I'll just pretend to be happy about it and she'll drop out like everybody else does." Shows what you know. :)
Imagine for a moment a garden. Imagine that this garden is unlike any garden you have ever seen on this earth. Imagine this is a garden full of flowers and trees, of brilliant sights and sounds, of sparkling diamond water and clear emerald forests. Imagine a garden characterized by unbelievable fertility and bounty. Imagine that in this garden, life flourishes in peace, love, and joy. In this garden there is nothing but contentment, bliss, and happiness. Call this garden The Garden of Eden or Shambhala or Heaven if you like for indeed it was like all these places and more. Call it utopia and imagine it a place of pure light. Then, when you have imagined all these things, put them together and you will know what The Garden was like.
Perhaps it goes without saying but I’ll say it anyway. In this beautiful, utopian garden, everything was perfect. In The Garden, there was abundance and joy and nobody went without. Nobody experienced pain for very long. Nobody went unloved and this was all good because that is the way the people who created The Garden wanted it. You see the garden people, the Lightwalkers, were beings of pure light and love. These people were all beauty, perfection, light, and glory and in their garden they created nothing that was ugly or distasteful. Truly, the Lightwalkers were like shining, glorious suns of creation. They were brilliant and blinding to behold and when they created The Garden, they created it as a reflection of their perfect, light-filled nature. In The Garden there was no suffering or want. Each heart’s desire was fulfilled and that’s just the way everybody wanted it.

Once again, there is new song material, ie. "Worldly Movements" posted on my page. If you will, take 2:22 seconds to check it out. Please, let me know what you think, if you do. I've added a little something below for extra AEthetics on this matter.
Word of The Week (4/21-4/28) is:
Move·ment - (moov'ment) Pronunciation Key

2.) A series of actions and events taking place over a period of time and working to foster a principle or policy: (a movement toward world peace.)

4.) A series of actions and events taking place over a period of time and working to foster a principle: (a movement toward consciousness)
An organized effort by supporters of a common goal: a leader of the labor movement.
5.) The suggestion or illusion of motion in a painting, sculpture, or design.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to enlighten minds :D
It was great seeing you guys in Nashville and hearing Jessica sing! It's always fun to have a little more Lofbomm in life. I was so glad to get an update on your life overseas! We miss you guys!
Dear one it is time, know your place.
You are one with God’s glorious grace.
You are the light that shineth from above.
You are peace that descends with the dove.
See that flame that burns deep inside you?
That God’s love, but I know that you knew.
See you’re simply as worthy as them.
So stand up for that world’s at an end.
And a new world, it’s called Shambhala
Awaits your recognition’s first awe.
And my child, all that you need to do?
Take deep breaths. Take your power.
It’s true!

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their comments.Your
response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you
have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you. Here
goes:
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you
know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When
someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have
expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide
you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or
spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for
the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part
or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring
the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled,
their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is
time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come
to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you
laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give
you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a
season .
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build
upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept
the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind
but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season
or a lifetime.
Send this to every friend that you have on-line, including the person who
sent it to you.
If you get:
0 Replies - you may need to work on your "people skills"
2 Replies - you are nice but probably need to be more outgoing
4 Replies - you have picked your friends well
6 Replies - you are downright popular
8 Replies or More - you are totally awesome (and that's probably why
you're on MY list)

thanks for your time!
