An American Mantra
Love is for Doves.
Look.
Power makes others cower.
Greed is what you need.
More Money for your Honey,
more toys for your boyz,
a big dinner for the winner,
shota rummy for your tummy,
line up [...]

Goin’ For a Swim
Left brain, right brain, God brain, no brain
in the light or dark, or maybe rain.
Singin’, Oh, Glory, gotta tell the story,
runnin’ from the place with all the pain.
Saint or sinner, dancin’ for your dinner
tryin’ to pretend it’s all a game,
while worryin’ ’bout the score and
sayin’ you don’t mind, but
watchin’ your [...]

Not Love
It’s not love when I’m afraid, when
I know from many times that
you’ll say
those things with
that expression.
I want you and
already my gut knots, knowing
whatever happens will
hurt.
You don’t do tenderness, not in sex.
Understanding’s not where you
come from.
You wear black robes even when
you’re naked.
I have trouble keeping it up in enemy
territory, waiting for your knives to
cut [...]

Ok, folks, this is God at the keyboard, and I have a few things to tell you.
More and more religions and ignorant people continue to make outrageous statements about me and what I want, so it is again time for me to set the record straight. I am using a set of hands happily [...]

My standard disclaimer applies.
“I envied … the thought of growing up in a world where someone cared so much about your happiness and so little about what you accomplished in life.”

Sometimes I’ll be reading a book and something will just jump out at me, like it’s written in glowing text. [...]

Ask Uncle Seeker
Uncle Seeker, could you help me understand something?
Maybe, Little One. What is it you don’t understand?
Well, it’s about religion and God and stuff.
Wow, that’s a pretty big subject. Is there something special that’s bothering you?
Yeah. Sometimes it doesn’t make any sense. The pastor at the church we go to says the one true [...]

“If it screams, it’s not food… yet.”

To whom do pigs pray,
stacked in their crowded lonely cages,
eating, defecating, waiting
for the [...]

Everything you ever needed to know about the spiritual side of life.
I really like Iris DeMent. I like her voice, unique, quirky, and expressive. I like that she was born in the same Bible Belt state I was (Arkansas), and I like where she’s gone with her songs and music.
If you’re having spiritual/religious [...]

John Lennon’s song “Imagine” is one of my all-time favorites and one of the best-known songs in the world. I don’t know if Jiddu Krishnamurti, one of the sanest and clearest thinkers I know, listened to the Beatles. He could have, since he lived until 1986 and spent much of his [...]

Where do we go
when the light dims
and the last sigh has faded?
Where you were
is silence,
and a void that still holds
your empty shape.
And the [...]
