“Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s questions.” ~ Edgar Cayce
I’ve been feeling all dumpy and miserable for the past few days and I even resorted to throwing stuff across the room. It didn’t help much, it just scared the piss out of the cat. So….I decided to read. I picked a book I read a few years ago about creating your future. The book it titled, “The Edgar Cayce Handbook For Creating Your Future,” written by Mark Thurston, Ph.D., and Christopher Fazel. They are two of Cayce’s leading authorities who have put together this book based on Cayce’s philosophy. (more…)

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.” ~ Dalai Lama
In our daily lives I think it’s important to keep reminders nearby of how we want to live a spiritual life. It is very easy to wander away from what you think is important whether your life is hectic or calm. I don’t consider myself religious and don’t follow one religion, but I do take things from many different sources if they resonate with me. (more…)

“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent.” ~ Victor Hugo
As I sit here at my desk, I have an incense burning, have music playing, and the dog and cat are curled up in their beds. These are the simple things in life I appreciate more than ever. My happiness is real and I feel more alive than I have felt in my forty years on this earth. I feel as though I was just born because I finally figured out how to live, how to love, how to embrace the good that is all around me. Everything else, I let go. (more…)

“When deep down in the core of your being you believe that your soulmate exists, there is no limit to the ways he or she can enter your life.” ~ Arielle Ford
My last relationship occurred in the world of crystal meth, lies, deceit, fear, uncertainty, madness, cruelty, confusion, and eventually, my partner’s death. So you can understand why I would want to wait for someone very, very special, right? Good, I thought so because I waited four frickin years!
During this time, I made myself a profile on a gay website to meet other men in my area but only chatted and browsed with no real intent of meeting. (more…)

“The more a man knows, the more he forgives.” ~ Catherine the Great
We have all had times when we thought we were being punished for something. We may have felt like everything we touched withered away or turned into a disaster. Never being able to sit back and have things go smoothly – if it wasn’t one thing, it was another.
I know I have felt this way for a good part of my life. I wasted a lot of years feeling negatively while cursing my very existence. I’m sure the majority, if not all of us have felt the whole world was against us at one time or another. (more…)

“Drugs are not always necessary, but belief in recovery always is.“ ~ Norman Cousins
In the short span of about two years I destroyed my health doing drugs which nearly ended my life. When I was hospitalized in the summer of 2006, I had full blown AIDS and my t-cell count was around ONE. I had heard when this happens, it is sometimes hard for the immune system to ever recover.

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
The world we live in is about material possessions – expensive, new, fashionable, or improved, we must have it. TV convinces us that stuff will make us better, others will like us, and we will be more of a person. We judge our success on how many possessions we have and how much wealth we’ve accumulated. This was all I thought the world was about for most of my adult life.
The Routine
We wake up and go off to work, drive home in a unconscious fog, eat some fast food in front of the television, then fall asleep just to repeat it the next day, the next week, the next year, and a lifetime has gone by. (more…)

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” ~ Cicero
It was Thanksgiving Day today and I thought I’d put down my thoughts about spending the day alone. Maybe I shouldn’t say alone because both of my dogs were with me and I love them so I enjoyed it! I spoke to family on the phone and received a few text messages from good friends wishing me a great day. That’s all that was important and all that I needed – I was thankful
Slow Down
I sat outside staring up into the blue sky today thinking how perfect it was not to have this crazy holiday schedule to follow. I watched the birds flying overhead, the clouds passing by, and the squirrels were chasing each other all around my fence. (more…)

“The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.” ~ Aristotle
It was a humid, mosquito infested, summer evening in Central Florida yet I was dressed for winter to keep from being eaten alive. The neighborhood was very still, very quiet, and most people were in for the night but I sat there chain smoking for a long time barely able to move from illness. I was already living with HIV, now AIDS, but there was so much more.
Mental Confusion
Intense disorientation plagued me for weeks and my mind had lost any ability for serious thought. I was like a zombie… sometimes crawling to the porch to smoke, and occasionally to the bathroom. Meth did this – Meth, HIV – Aids. (more…)
