I ain’t Jesus
I ain’t got twenty arms
I ain’t Jesus
I ain’t the son o’ God
I ain’t Jesus

I can’t turn water into wine
I can’t undo the serpentine
I can’t be a super frood
I can’t multiply the food
I can’t follow the golden rule
I can’t be trusted to play the fool

I ain’t Jesus
But I still love you
I ain’t Jesus
But I believe in you
I ain’t Jesus
But then, you ain’t too

An artist is a mover, a political participant. Especially in times of historic change, aesthetic values will always have an advantage. A society that persecutes people who persist in cleaving to individual values is an uncivilized society that has no future.
~ Ai Weiwei

A message from my cousins. Thought you should know.

Compassion... a gateway drug to peace.

Thanks to the Dalai Lama for the wisdom.

Sometimes the message gets lost in translation, but the great teachers are often telling us similar things...

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee:Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
A poem by Rabindranath Tagore about freedom of expression

Pursue the arts.

Word P**n

Any art form you feel made your soul grow? Theatre and writing saved my life in horrifically beautiful ways. If it weren't for the firewood in the stage lights and petroleum in my pen, I'd be nothing but ash.

If we were the kind of church where we preached sermons from pulpits and stuff, this might be the kind of thing the preachers would subject us to.

All one under the sun.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.” Gifting enriches both the giver and the receiver. We make of ourselves a fountain of plenty that we ourselves might drink.

Diversity is strength. All races, all creeds, all genders, all sexual orientations, all ages and species are welcome in our Church. No exceptions, no questions, no requirements. You are already a member.

Spring Clean tomorrow! Come on out, pick up trash, and get trashed!
