Why’d I have the same-ass dream again?
The one where I wake up and I’m alive.

~My take on the Angels & Airwaves Lyrics from “The Adventure,” which actually go (I think):
“I wanna have the same last dream again
The one where I wake up and I’m alive.”

It’s been awhile since I’ve been happy enough to take pictures of random things. I’m finding balance in my life, feeling peaceful & happy finally. It has been a long year.

It is amazing that the last
Two legs
The conservatives are standing on
Are sexual and reproductive "morals"

Think of what that means…
An election so important
That even if he is right about
Everything else
He is threatening our coersion of
One another to
Reproduce without limit and fill the earth
With copies of our imperfect
DNA

Are we that unevolved to still
Think that propogating our genes
To the next generation
Is all that really matters?
So moved by our fondness for babies
To believe contented gay lovers must be sinners
In need of reprogramming
And an aborted pregnancy demands punishment?

This is as simple as you can get.
And I’m not interested in simple.

God’s plan is full of randomness,
Violence, distortion,
Pain and confusion.

Most times it feels like we are swept up in a tide of events we had no control over;
We face dilemmas we could never have imagined for ourselves.
Then we watch ourselves act in our own theaters.
We boo, we applaud, we laugh, we cry
We wonder if there is a lesson anywhere in the movie.

I still wonder.

For all my reasoning,
All I know is what I feel
And half of that is false

But when the poets
And the saints
And the prophets
And the leaders that inspire us
All beat the same drum
It resonates
With the selfish parasite within us all
Called life.

"If we have faith in humankind
And respect for what is earthly
And an unfaltering belief
In peace and love and understanding
This could be heaven here on earth."

-Tracy Chapman Lyrics
